Book Reviews

  • THE JUDAS STRAIN BY: JAMES ROLLINS

    I must add – sometimes I’m unfair to Rollins as I enjoy his books so much I sometimes categorize them as ‘fun’ and not ‘work’ that I have to post a review for. OBVIOUSLY he’s the best ever… why do you need a review? Please excuse my tardiness of this review. Please excuse my lack…

  • THE BORGIA CONFESSIONS BY: ALYSSA PALOMBO

    Surprisingly AMAZING! I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book! In the beginning my brain was telling itself it was bored, yet I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t know much about Borgia, I confess, (haha, see what I did there?) and 3/4 the way through I looked them up and ruined part of…

  • THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS BY: LISA JEWELL

    A complicated twist and turn that if you commit to it – you won’t be disappointed. First off – I loved this book. I got weirdly obsessed and couldn’t stop reading. I would read a couple pages during a movie, eating, right before bed, right before work … I wouldn’t stop. I just needed to…

  • RECURSION BY: BLAKE CROUCH

    This is going to be one of the worst reviews I’ve ever written..  Why is this the worst review ever? BECAUSE THIS BOOK LEFT ME SPEECHLESS. I have no criticisms. I can’t even explain to you how this book made me feel. I feel as if I need a book club meeting to fully discuss everything…

  • BONE IN THE THROAT BY: ANTHONY BOURDAIN

    This surprised me in a good way! I’m so impressed with Bourdain and wish I would have discovered his work sooner! I’m sure we all know him from his cooking shows and being a chef, but what talent for story telling as well. If you love the mob, New York or eating – you’ll love…

  • WHEN YOU SEE ME BY:LISA GARDNER

    Breaking the norm with these unlikely characters.. First and foremost, I loved the characters Gardner created for this story. Each person was so interesting, so different and had clear voices. The book switches from one view to another and I never felt an overlap. I really enjoyed these characters, especially Flora. Flora gave me ‘Girl…

  • DEATH IN THE FAMILY (SHANA MERCHANT, #1) BY: TESSA WEGERT

    A modern Agatha Christie? This was a fun read. I plowed through it. The characters were fun. The story alone was a great ‘who dun it’ – a classic Christie novel. I really enjoyed the nod to Christie that Wegert snuck in the story as well. Wegert is trying to build a series, so throughout…

    Simone St. James – be my best friend please? Just finished.Still have the ‘finished book’ shakes – AND I LOVE IT. WOW, Simone St James, you are one messed up magician with your wonderful story telling. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye out for any future books. I haven’t read a book of hers yet…

  • THE FOUNTAINS OF SILENCE BY: RUTA SEPETYS

    Can we have a moment of silence for this book? That’s what I needed. I read the last line, closed the cover and closed my eyes. I took a breath. Really taking in everything I just read. This book is pure magic. The story line was very interesting. The characters lovable (and not) and everything…

  • DON’T LOOK FOR ME BY: WENDY WALKER

    WOWZA – Didn’t see that one coming … A solid 4.5 starsVery well done thriller. There was some fluff that I found distracting and not worthwhile while reading, so I docked it a half star for that. Overall – it was a great book. Interesting characters. Flipped back and forth to characters interestingly. Each character…
