Set in London during the Victorian era, A SHADOW BRIGHT AND BURNING is a decent beginning to Jessica Cluess's Kingdom on Fire series. While the characters and plot are both rather generic, the darker setting and bits of action pulled me in. Henrietta is thought to be the ...

Book Review – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
October 5, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Crooked Kingdom was the book I was most looking forward to reading this year. The depth and edge-of-your-seat suspense that Leigh Bardugo delivered in Six of Crows was nearly absent in Crooked Kingdom. Uneven pacing and lack of character growth was Crooked ...
Audiobook Review – Watching Edie by Camilla Way
September 20, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Camilla Way's haunting thriller about two former best friends who meet up years later is full of twists and turns. You think you know what happened until you realize you really don't. I enjoyed reading (listening to) this book and would recommend it for those who love ...

September 7, 2016 by · 2 Comments
* I have an excerpt to share with you posted below my review, so check it out! Well, hot damn. THE ANGELS' SHARE, the second installment to J.R. Ward's The Bourbon Kings series, was insanely fun and addictive. Like the first book, lengthy and superfluous passages in The ...

* Audiobook comments are below. I switched back and forth between the eBook and the audiobook. The One Real Thing is the first in Samantha Young's new contemporary romance series, Hart's Boardwalk. I've been looking forward to reading this, especially since I've really ...

Midge Raymond's debut, My Last Continent, is an ode to Antarctica with a unique and emotional love story. Raymond's rich and descriptive narrative, while at times overly used, takes readers on a harrowing journey to a land rarely traveled. Deb has dedicated her life to ...
Audiobook Review – Monsters: A Love Story by Liz Kay
August 12, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
Monsters: A Love Story was one of those books that I picked up on a whim and then couldn't stop reading/listening to it. Stacey and Tommy's relationship is explosive and destructive, funny and sweet all at the same time. While there were several moments where I felt ...
Audiobook Review – The Widow by Fiona Barton
August 2, 2016 by · 3 Comments
I've been really into thrillers this year (in case you hadn't noticed). The Widow was one release that was getting a lot of buzz in the publishing world earlier this year with its comparison to Gone Girl and Girl on the Train. In a nutshell, the story follows an ...
Audiobook Review – Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum
July 5, 2016 by · 7 Comments
Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum is like a young adult version of You've Got Mail. It's addictive, entertaining, and sweet but also deals with heaver issues. I couldn't stop reading (or rather, listening) to it. Though the premise was a bit contrived, I still found the ...
Audiobook Review – Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes
June 8, 2016 by · 7 Comments
I was super late to the Joe Goldberg party when I read You (My Review) recently. Our beloved Joe is back in the follow-up and he's just as creepy and charming. Hidden Bodies was entertaining with solid writing, but the book moved rather slowly in several parts. I found ...
