Pop goes Goes the Weasel, the second installment in M.J. Arlidge's Helen Grace series, is full of thrills and chills. Many moments had that delicious pull that made it hard to put the book down, but it took me a long time to become fully engrossed in the book. A murderous ...

Eeny Meeny is a police procedural centering around Detective Inspector Helen Grace. This book is my first foray into the expansive crime fiction genre. And while this book didn't work for me, I look forward to read more of this series and more crime fiction. Helen Grace ...

*** My comments on the audiobook of I'm Thinking of Ending Things are at the end of this review. I reread it in July 2016. Book Review: "There are certain things in life, not very many, that are real, confirmed cures for rainy days, for loneliness. Puzzles are like that. ...
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 ...

June 7, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Book Review: The premise of 738 Days was interesting and was what made me pick up the book. Though, the quick nature of the romantic relationship and the dramatics in the latter part of the book was problematic. I felt like the author did a wonderful job in the beginning at ...

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 – 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 ...
