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 ...
Book Review – The Story of Us by Dani Atkins
June 1, 2016 by · 4 Comments
I was absolutely hooked on this story in the beginning but didn't like how the author made the reader like and dislike the two love interests for the sake of convenience. Two weeks from getting married to her longtime on-and-off boyfriend Richard, Emma is in a car ...
Book Review – When We Collided by Emery Lord
May 23, 2016 by · 2 Comments
When We Collided is the first book I've read by Emery Lord. While I appreciate the author peeling back the curtain and shedding light on mental illness, specifically bipolar disorder, I had too many issues with the writing style, characterization, and plot to enjoy this ...
Book Review – Wicked Heart by Leisa Rayven
May 11, 2016 by · 8 Comments
Leisa Rayven knows how to write romantic chemistry between her heroes and heroines, for sure. I was buying what she was selling on that front. However, the reason given as to why Liam broke it off—and why they weren't together in the present—with Liss seemed really flimsy ...
Book Review – Whisper to Me by Nick Lake
April 25, 2016 by · 3 Comments
Book Review: It’s weird. I’m writing this to you, and you haven’t walked into my life yet. But I guess you already know when you first saw me. It’s like a wood in ancient Greece, a leafy glade. I’m here, and the voice is here—the echo—and we’re just waiting for you, for ...
Book Review – The Crown’s Game by Evelyn Skye
April 20, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Book Review: The setting combined with the interesting premise of a duel to the death made me pick up Skye's debut. I enjoyed the author's vivid depictions of the Russian scenery but the romance felt contrived rather than organic. The Crown's Game is initiated by the ...
Book Review – The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert
April 12, 2016 by · 2 Comments
The Coincidence of Coconut Cake has an alluring premise with a "secret identity" love affair between a restauranteur and a harsh food critic. But ultimately the book was just okay and rather bland. Al is a food critic known for his scathing reviews of local restaurant. ...
Book Review – I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
April 4, 2016 by · 10 Comments
Book Review: * Spoiler-free review. No spoilery discussion of the twists. Filled with twists and turns that left me reeling and an ending that gave me chills, Mackintosh's chilling debut is one that I will be recommending to everyone this year. I've been so excited to ...
Book Review – Forgetting August by J.L. Berg
March 31, 2016 by · 4 Comments
This is one of those books that I chose to read completely based on the amnesia storyline. I've read a couple of books with a similar element and what I really liked in those books was seeing the couple fall in twice. In Forgetting August, I felt no chemistry or connection ...
Book Review – Wicked Sexy Liar by Christina Lauren
March 10, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Book Review: Wicked Sexy Liar is a sexy romance between a recently reformed playboy and a woman who's reluctant to be with him because of his sexual escapades. This book was fun, but it lacked a solid conflict and a real reason why the characters couldn't be together. By ...
