Book Reviews

  • BLACK WINGS BEATING BY: ALEX LONDON

    At the beginning of this review, I still don’t know what to rate it… I’m so conflicted. I hated this book, loved this book but am left mostly confused about my feelings. I will say, I FINISHED IT. Being able to finish a book get you 2 stars in my eyes at a min. The…

  • THE SECRET PLACE (DUBLIN MURDER SQUAD, #5) BY: TANA FRENCH

    Hard time with this review. I am HUGE Tana French fan.Like many other reviewers, this was disappointing. I actually also just finished ‘The Witch Elm’ – which was worse than ‘The Secret Place’ – so that’s a positive? I love Dublin Murder Squad, but this book was the nail in the coffin and I probably…

  • MEXICAN GOTHIC BY: SILVIA MORENO-GARCIA

    I 100% read this book because goodreads and other reviewers told me to …… and I shouldn’t have. I mean I should have because I believe you can’t have an opinion on something unless you read them (which is why I read a lot of bad books…). I’m not saying this book was bad, but…

  • IT WAS ALWAYS THIS WAY BY: LEIGH DONNELLY

    This was an … interesting one …It wasn’t my favorite – yet… I found myself thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it.It wasn’t amazing writing. I had to skim over some parts because of that. It felt like the characters were droning on and on a lot. Which was annoying to ‘listen’ to because…

  • LAST DAY BY: LUANNE RICE

    I thought I liked this book … but when I came back here to write the review I realized I completely forgot about it.It was a good book to pass the time on … wasn’t anything special. Due to the redundancy, you can half pay attention to the words and still know what’s going on…

  • MY GRANDMOTHER ASKED ME TO TELL YOU SHE’S SORRY BY: FREDRIK BACKMAN

    What is it about Backman that drives me crazy? It’s buts because  ‘A Man Called Ove’ I was so taken with I named my Jeep after Ove. I laughed and cried and just really wanted this book to end. Not sure how I can feel all these things at once – yet, here we are.  Other reviewers…

  • THE GIRL IN CABIN 13 BY: A.J. RIVERS

    By no means a life changing thriller here, but a good solid effort from the author. It had a lot of *eye rolls* moments and I have to agree with many other reviewers when they mention the character building and plot development was poor.      It’s a straight give away on the ‘who-dun-it’ part. On top of that…

  • THE BEST OF FRIENDS BY: LUCINDA BERRY

    This was a tough one for me! Overall I liked it… it was an interesting idea. Pretty messed up, in all the right ways. Exactly what you are looking for  when it comes to a thriller.     I chugged through this book and found the premise so interesting I sometimes had a hard time putting…

  • UNSPEAKABLE THINGS BY: JESS LOUREY

    Interesting book! What intrigued me about it was that it was based on a true story. I am out of true crime documentaries to watch, so I thought why not read one? Yet, that’s not really what this book is about. Which I knocked a full star off for.      The book is about Cassie and her…

  • IF YOU TELL BY: GREGG OLSEN

    THIS IS NUTS.First of all I agree with many reviewers who say, sometimes reality is worse than fiction. So incredibly true. You hear about torture or watch it in movies but it hits differently when it is true.     This isn’t the most beautifully written book. I respect that the author wanted to make it  story-like…
