"Ordinary men commit extraordinary evil all the time." EVERYTHING YOU WANT ME TO BE is in all sense of the word a page-turner. I couldn't put this book down. If it wasn't for work and personal obligations, I would have read this book from start to finish without eating. ...

Book Review – The Vanishing Year by Kate Moretti
The Vanishing Year called to me after reading its intriguing synopsis about a woman running from her past into the arms of a prominent member of Manhattan's elite. While I will admit that Moretti's story had me glued to the pages to find out what happened, the multiple plot ...

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 ...

Audiobook Review – Maestra by L.S. Hilton
Maestra is an erotic thriller featuring a femme fatale who gives no apologies for her murderous ways. She wants what she wants and she takes it. I saw this book everywhere, as it was being heavily marketed and promoted by the publisher. So I decided to give the audiobook a ...

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 ...
