Review: Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre
From the very beginning, I knew that Every Last Secret would be one twisted, complex thriller. The plot is addictive, and it kept me enthralled from beginning to end.

Review: No More Words by Kerry Lonsdale
No More Words is written in the third person, and admittedly I believe it is a difficult point of view in which to write. In this particular case, I think the story suffers for it.
Review: Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine
What a ride Stillhouse Lake is! I love it when women who are helpless victims become fierce and formidable foes. Gwen Proctor gave me those Sarah Connor in Terminator and Ripley from Aliens vibes.
Review: Marriage and Murder by Penny Reid
Marriage and Murder is the second book in the Solving for Pie series, and while it is loosely tied to the first book, it can be read as a standalone. Readers of the Winston Brothers series may enjoy it more though.
Audiobook Review: Loverboy by Sarina Bowen
Loverboy is exactly the light diversion I needed. The co-owner of a cybersecurity agency goes undercover as a barista in a plucky heroine’s pie shop. Pie. Lattes. Mystery. Romance. Sold!
Audiobook Review: Unlawful Contact by Pamela Clare
I was pleasantly surprised by this romantic suspense. Unlawful Contact has a story sucked me in almost immediately, and fed me a steady diet of yummy intrigue, danger, and sexiness. The mystery involves an investigative reporter and an escaped convicted killer/decorated Army vet/ex-DEA agent who team up to find his missing sister and uncover some shady drug dealings in the process.
Review: Flock by Kate Stewart
I pulled an all-nighter reading Flock and my mind is reeling. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the plot because the synopsis is frustratingly ambiguous. Now that I’m familiar with this very original story, I’m still trying to process what I read.
Audiobook Review: Where the Blame Lies by Mia Sheridan
Where the Blame Lies is unlike any Mia Sheridan book I’ve read before, and I liked it. I really liked it. There’s enough detail to convey the horror of the victim’s situation, to develop a connection to her and maintain the suspense, but not so gory that it’s unbearably painful to read.
Review: Engagement and Espionage by Penny Reid
I’m a diehard Penny Reid fan. Her brainy, witty characters have charmed me more times than I can count, and I’m glad I can hang onto the ones carried over from the Winston Brothers series. Sadly, though, even Cletus (one of my favorite characters) couldn’t make Engagement and Espionage a big win for me. I guess I just expected more from the first book in this spinoff series.
Review: The Lion’s Den by Katherine St. John
I pulled an all-nighter reading The Lion’s Den. Yes, there’s some over the top drama and questionable character choices, but it’s deliciously addictive! I have the dark circles under my eyes to prove it. I would not have guessed this is Katherine St. John’s debut novel.
Review: Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose
I have been in a romantic suspense mood lately, and Say You’re Sorry is a darned good one.
Review: Verity by Colleen Hoover
I don’t even know how to write this review. Because Verity? Well, that is some Grade A phenomenal whatthefuckery right there.
