Book Reviews

  • 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…

  • THE SUN DOWN MOTEL BY: SIMONE ST. JAMES

    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…

  • CATHERINE HOUSE BY: ELISABETH THOMAS

    What was the point? Was there a point? How do I feel about this book? I’m not sure. Ines, the main character, didn’t bother me as much as most reviewers. She didn’t give a care and most people’s opinions think she wasn’t ‘cool’ as the book was making her out to be. I think outsiders…

  • THE LAST ODYSSEY (SIGMA FORCE, #15) BY: JAMES ROLLINS

    The Sigma series has another winner … Absolutely knocked it out of the park again. I’m bad at reviewing the Sigma series because I feel that each book is just a chapter of the HUGE book that is the entire series. I’m so in love with all these characters. Sometimes I feel that Kowalski is…
