  • ROCK PAPER SCISSORS BY: ALICE FEENEY

    What to say about ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors”…. Honestly I went into it not liking it. I didn’t like the synopsis. So my first advice to you is not read it. It felt very “And Then There Were None” and I was getting tired of reading books like that. On top of it, it sounded like it was…

  • THE SECRET MESSENGER BY: MANDY ROBOTHAM

    I am a big fan of historical fiction, so I really enjoyed this story. I’ve read a few (A LOT) of WWII stories, but I have never read one set in Venice. That was SO interesting to me. Also interesting how the author mentions more than once that WWII hit other parts of Europe harder…

  • STORM OF SECRETS BY: LORETTA MARION

    First off, I am obsessed with the idea of “The Cape”. Living on the edge of the ocean, with storms, tropical heat and winters – sounds like a challenge that I have idolized for awhile now. This book was already right in line for what I was looking for.     This is #2 in a series…

  • THE LAST FLIGHT BY: JULIE CLARK

    I’ll give this book a solid 3.5, rounded up to 4. I’m being kind here. There was a lot in this book that bothered me for some reason.     The book felt very centered around the #MeToo movement and believing women when they said they have been abused. Yet, the characters used to represent this, were…

  • A WRINKLE IN TIME BY: MADELEINE L’ENGLE

    A Wrinkle In Time is a ‘classic’. I’m sure my review won’t deter or push you to read this classic.     I have not watched the Disney adaption of this book, but I will admit Disney put it on my radar. Watching the trailers peaked my interest that it was originally a book. I got this…

  • RECKLESS GIRLS BY RACHEL HAWKINS

    I will admit, it was tough going from a beautifully written book to this slightly crude, spring break vibe thriller. Yet, once I started I couldn’t stop.     This is great beach read, although you might be looking over your shoulder while ‘on’ a beach. Easy reading, quick and with enough twists and turns that make…

  • LAST SEEN ALIVE BY: JOANNA SCHAFFHAUSEN

    This is the 5th book in a series and without reading any of the earlier ones I can say, this can easily be a stand alone book. The reader is slowly filled in about the past in an artful way, without being overwhelmed.     The opening of this book starts the reader off with a…

  • A PARIS APARTMENT BY: MICHELLE GABLE

    I really enjoyed this story!    My favorite part of it was going in completely blind. I found this book tucked into a ‘free little library’ and it had the word ‘Paris’ in the title, so I just scooped it up. I had no idea this actual apartment existed. That Oliver, the auctioneer, was a real…

  • ONLY MURDER BY RYLIE DARK

    A pretty cliche, tense FBI thriller. I liked the characters enough but with the holes in the plot and the unrealistic FBI movements … it fell kind of flat.     I agree with other reviewers that this book needs a good editor to comb through it. To be fair, I received an early copy of this…
