Before I start picking apart this book, I do want to state that V.E. Schwab (or Victoria Schwab) has been an autobuy author for me. The past few books of hers I didn’t read the summary before pre-ordering them. I love her books and her writing, so saying I didn’t like a book of hers […]
Before I get into the review of this, I first have to say DRUGS! This whole thing was about DRUGS! At this point, I was already over the book and was just trying to finish it, but I’m still pissed. One of my book clubs back in Texas read this book in 2025, and even […]
Most people who know me know that I love true crime. It’s a combination of the mystery aspect and the psychology behind each crime. What makes a person do something so heinous? What circumstances or environment drove them to do this? Yet, something that I’ve battled with the past couple of years is the ethics […]
The first three-quarters of the novel was pretty good. I love retellings and seeing the point of view of a known story from a different character brings a fresh perspective and ideas to the novel. Elizabeth is such a fascinating character to go through the story with as most of what she does is understandable. […]
I stayed up til 5 am on a work night to finish reading this book it was so good! I was only planning on reading a few chapters before bed, but that obviously didn’t happen. I am completely engrossed and captivated by the stories Liselle Sambury writes. This is only the second book of hers […]
Wow! The way everything ties together in the end. I loved everything about this book and series. Just so good, and I love how each book became darker. I really appreciate how everything came back to Jason Bell, Andie and Becca Bell’s father, who ended up being a serial killer. It really does fit with […]
Another re-read for the year. I re-read A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder earlier this year for a book club, then my sister told me last week that she started reading it which made me want to finally finish the series. Wow! I really love how Jackson continues to explore the whole grey area of […]
A beautifully vulnerable novel that explores such a difficult topic. I’m amazed by the writing and the courage it took Levings to go back to this place so others know about this and those who are in this movement know there not alone. I surprisingly saw a lot of myself in Tia Levings while reading […]
I don’t know what it is about romantasy that falls flat for me most of the time. I really, really wanted to love this book and actually expected this to be a 4 or 5 star read. But sadly, that is not the case. The characters themselves were quite boring, as was the relationship. I […]
After finishing this novel, I looked up the background info for the novel. Specifically, what genre is this classified under which depends on what source is looked up. On the publisher website it’s “literary fiction,” the copyright page classifies this as “erotic” and “romance” fiction, and Goodreads has it listed as “romance,” “fiction,” and “contemporary.” […]
