Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano honestly could not have come to me at a better moment. In February, I turned 30, and despite the fact that I know being 30 isn’t any different than being 29, I struggled mentally with knowing that I haven’t achieved what society says I should have achieved by […]

Review: End of the Lie by Diana Rodriguez Wallach
**SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain spoilers for the previous books in the series. Please do not read this review if you have not yet read Proof of Lies and Lies That Bind. We have reached the end of the Anastasia Phoenix series, and I think Diana Rodriguez Wallach finished off strong with End of the Lie. […]
Review: The Lovely and the Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Jennifer Lynn Barnes is one of my go-to authors. I’ve read most of the books she’s published, and if I haven’t read it, I want to read it. She is one of my favorite YA mystery authors, and she did not disappoint with The Lovely and the Lost. It was full of fun characters, dogs with […]
Review: Smoke and Key by Kelsey Sutton
I didn’t know what to expect going into Smoke and Key by Kelsey Sutton. The synopsis sounded interesting, and I assumed it would wind up with Smoke and Key together based upon the title. It truly turned out to be a page-turner. Sutton crafted a mysterious story that makes the reader wonder what happened before all the […]
Review: Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano (Nearly Gone #2)
I finally read Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano, the follow up to Nearly Gone. Nearly Gone was one of my favorite reads in 2014 when it was released. I remember recommending it as a bookseller. & I was HIGHLY anticipating reading Nearly Found. (By the way, you can check out my review for Nearly Gone on my Goodreads page.) Fast […]
Review: What You Hide by Natalie D. Richards
What You Hide by Natalie D. Richards was the first book in a long while that I read in a single day. I loved delving into the relationship between Spencer and Mallory. I didn’t find it as thrilling as I hoped it would be; however, it was still quite the page-turner. What You Hide does touch […]
Review: Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew Sullivan
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore was very different from my regular read, and to be honest, I was very worried I would end up DNF-ing it. Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore, however, pleasantly surprised me with the slow developing mystery it held in its pages. Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore felt more like […]
Review: Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson (Truly Devious #1)
Truly Devious has been on my want to read list for months. Once the library told me it was available, I knew I had to read it. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to what I had hoped. With mystery novels, I tend to enjoy the books that are more fast paced with a lot of […]
Review: Lies That Bind by Diana Rodriguez Wallach (Anastasia Phoenix #2)
**SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain spoilers for the first book in the series. Please do not read this review if you have not yet read Proof of Lies. Without reading the synopsis, I totally thought this book was going to be an adventure finding Marcus’s brother Antonio. I was wrong. They found him in […]
Review: Darkest Night by Tara Thomas
I love romantic suspense novels. I have also enjoyed novels of a different genre by Tara Thomas under a different pen name. Sadly, while I did love the Benedict brothers and Tilly Brock, I did not enjoy Darkest Night as much as I hoped to. Overall, I thought Darkest Night simply had too many elements leaving it feeling a […]
