Posted on October 9, 2018 by Jenn

There is a lot going in this thriller! Told in two different points of view, that of Beth in the past and Clara in the present.  At the onset, it isn’t apparent that the two stories are intertwined. The author … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2018 by Jenn

Reid’s previous title,  I’m Thinking of Ending Things, introduced me to the sheer talent that is Iain Reid. When I heard he had a new title releasing, I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. In true Reid form, … Continue reading →

If you haven’t experienced the brilliant writings of Abbott, you are certainly missing out.  She excels at capturing the female psyche and the brilliant (and simultaneously horrifying) relationships between women. Just when you think she’s reached the pinnacle of psychological … Continue reading →

Review: Tangerine by Christine Mangan

Posted on May 21, 2018 by Jenn

I picked this up after hearing rave reviews from a bookseller at my favorite independent bookstore.  I have to say that before this, this title wasn’t even on my radar.  I curled up on a rainy Friday night and devoured … Continue reading →

Review: The Lucky Ones by Tiffany Reisz

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Jenn

Oooh, was this a good one!! Since discovering Reisz’s other works (like The Bourbon Thief and The Night Mark), I have come to count on her wholly unique, incredibly captivating Gothic fiction.  This level of fandom has only increased with … Continue reading →

Review: The Chalk Man by C. J. Tudor

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Jenn

I wanted to adore this book.  It’s being recommended for fans of Stephen King, Stranger Things and more.  I think this recommendation, or that it’s an unsuccessful attempt to resemble the horror greats, is what changes my outlook on this debut … Continue reading →

Review: The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Jenn
