This is one of the books of the summer you cannot miss, the very kind of book I’ve been seeking. I love a good haunted house tale and this one certainly reeled me in.   Told in alternating time periods/points of … Continue reading →

Posted on June 22, 2020 by Jenn

It’s been a while since I’ve written a review.  Not because I haven’t read anything, but nothing lately has jumped out at me and screamed “Now this is a book I want to talk about!” Apologies in advance for all … Continue reading →

Review: Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel

Posted on March 11, 2020 by Jenn

What a completely twisty read! The format (alternating chapters from the point of views of Patty and Rose Gold) really add to the tension, for the reader follows both women from the past to the present, Patty focusing on repairing … Continue reading →

Review: The Chill by Scott Carson

Posted on February 10, 2020 by Jenn

I enjoy a good thriller with a well-developed backstory! The story of the Chilewaukee reservoir is a haunting one; an entire village lay submerged beneath the water.  With it comes a cast of well-developed characters, both past and present.  Aaron Ellsworth, son … Continue reading →

So….I usually avoid the books everyone is talking about, not wanting to have my opinion tainted by others.  In this case, however, I couldn’t resist. It called to me from my Kindle. I devoured it in one sitting. The premise … Continue reading →

Review: Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

Posted on July 8, 2019 by Jenn

If you haven’t read this author’s previous work (Final Girls, The Last Time I Lied) you really need to get on it!  Sager excels at crafting characters you can’t fully trust with…questionable backgrounds. I’m usually could at solving endings but … Continue reading →

Review: Recursion by Blake Crouch

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Jenn

My summary just touches the surface of the enormity Crouch has crafted in this truly complex techno-thriller. Any in-depth exploration of what transpires is certain to spoil the reading experience, one that will quite literally twist and distort anything and … Continue reading →

Jennifer McMahon is one of my “insta-buy” authors.  The moment I hear of a new book, I add it to my must-read list.  This may be one of my very favorites, for I do love a nice ghost story.  This … Continue reading →

Review: The Au Pair by Emma Rous

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Jenn

I thought I had it all figured out when I started reading this title.  In some aspects I did…but Rous when far beyond what I could have ever expected! Told in alternating time periods (then, with Laura as the main … Continue reading →

Review: Elevation by Stephen King

Posted on November 7, 2018 by Jenn

Admittedly, when I received my copy of Elevation I was quite shocked. It’s tiny, not only in page count (under 200), but in size as well.  It looks more like a gift book than the typical Stephen King volume.  I was … Continue reading →
