A LITTLE LIFE BY HANYA YANAGIHARA
This book was a head spinner – if you can’t agree with anything, you gotta agree with that. I mean, I’m still so ‘WOW’ about the whole thing. First off, let’s get this out of the way. The length. This book is long and honestly, unnecessarily long. I think most of my comments come from the…

The House Across the Lake By: Riley Sager
I’m giving this book 3 stars, but that is me being really nice. Huge Sager fan and I’m honestly baffled. This just simply isn’t that good. I think a good group of us readers are heartbroken as we really, really want to like anything Sager puts out. What’s wrong with the book? Well, the first…

YOU’RE INVITED BY AMANDA JAYATISSA

I did enjoy diving into the Sri Lanka world and a typical thriller written in a different setting that you don’t get to experience often. The truth though, there isn’t anything outstandingly impressive with the story or writing. Nothing…

Daisy Darker BY: Alice Feeney
My only note while reading was ‘struggling to get into the characters’. Now as I’m finished reading the book, I will say I could change that to, ‘struggled to care about the characters’. The book is very underwhelming. I’m sorry to harp on these style of books so much, but if you are going to…
