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.
Review: Festive in Death by J.D. Robb
Festive in Death is the 39th book in the In Death series. Admittedly, I have experienced bouts of ennui while reading the last several books, but J.D. Robb is in fine form here. She fills this book with everything that made me fall in love with the series, and it’s now one of my favorites.
Review: Concealed in Death by J.D. Robb
For two decades, I have loved this series to death – no pun intended – but I didn’t think I’d ever finish Concealed in Death. I’d pick it up, read it for a couple chapters, put it down, then come back to it a few weeks later, and repeat. I was surprised that I wound up really enjoying it.
Mini Review: The Truth About Us by Aly Martinez
The Truth About Us is every bit the adrenaline rush that I wanted. I flew through this conclusion to The Truth Duet.
Review: The Truth About Lies by Aly Martinez
Ok, Aly Martinez. You got me. You got me good. I pride myself on being able to spot plot twists a mile away, but I should know by now that I’m no match for your clever mind.
Audiobook Review ♥ Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
Then She Was Gone is unlike any other mystery I’ve read. The premise is fairly ordinary. Ellie, a seemingly happy teenage girl with a bright future ahead of her, disappears suddenly without a trace, and her family is torn apart in the aftermath. The “girl gone missing” storyline has been done many times before. However, it’s the complex execution that makes this mystery so unique. I think it would be a great book club selection.
Review ♥ We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
I love a good mystery, and by good I mean one that truly makes me think. I’m one of those smarty-pants readers who frequently figures out the secret long before it’s divulged. I pride myself on seeing plot twists coming a mile away. I start a mystery by throwing down the gauntlet to the author: okay, surprise me. E. Lockhart picked up my challenge. We Were Liars tested my intellect, kept me guessing, and had me on the edge of my seat until the very end.
Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway: Epoch by Jewel E. Ann
Book duets can be a risky business. Expectations are high when the first book is well received. Transcend was easily a 5-star read for me, so Epoch had huge shoes to fill. Jewel E. Ann makes it look easy because Epoch stole my breath time and again. I put my real life on pause while I indulged in every single absorbing page. Eating is so overrated anyway.
New Release Review: Transcend by Jewel E. Ann
I continue to be amazed by the creative capacity of Jewel E. Ann. Her books refuse to be contained in tidy, predictable boxes. Transcend is aptly named because it surpasses all expectations in terms of originality, intricacy, mystery, and poignancy.
Blog Tour & Review: The Darkest Sunrise by Aly Martinez
6 stars My heart is literally pounding in my chest right now. I’m not kidding when I say I just had to take a Xanax. Aly Martinez nailed it with this gripping story that takes you on an inspirational, breathtakingly emotional journey and never lets you go.
Review: Thankless in Death by J.D. Robb
Whenever I need a tried and true escape, I know I can rely on the In Death series by J.D. Robb (AKA Nora Roberts). It’s hard to believe that Thankless in Death is the 37th book in the series.
