The Violence By: Delilah Dawson
Following three abused women in unprecedented times as they attempt to escape their abusers and survive. Let’s start off with, I was not expecting that. I again, didn’t read anything about this book in advance before picking it up and was pleasantly surprised. The author’s note in the beginning felt odd. I can see it…

THE WHISPER MAN BY: ALEX NORTH
A reluctant 3 stars.This one was a hard one for me to review. The writing really bothered me for some reason. The writing felt very fluffed. There was a lot of internal thinking that didn’t add anything to the story. The sentences didn’t seem to flow well. I just felt that while I was reading my…

TELL ME EVERYTHING: THE STORY OF A PRIVATE INVESTIGATION BY ERIKA KROUSE
When I started reading this book I didn’t realize it was non-fiction. As you know, I normally ‘wing it’ with books and try not to research or look too far into to them before starting. I’d rather just dive in. Which is what I did with this book. I DOVE RIGHT IN. It started out…

THE CHANGE BY KIRSTEN MILLER
For me, this book didn’t do it for me. Honestly when I picked this book up to read I had no idea there was such a strong ‘feminism’ angle. I mean, the men are bad and women are badass thoughts are literally jammed down the reader’s throats. It’s aggressive and off putting. Sadly, that’s…

THE GIRLS IN THE STILT HOUSE BY KELLY MUSTIAN
This fell into my ‘must read’ books and so I scooped it up without really thinking. I’ve noticed it compared to Where the Crawdads Sing quite often and the only thing this has in common is it’s in the southern swamps. Otherwise, I’d say I’m quite offended others are comparing the two. I would place this in the ‘don’t…

A GOOD IDEA BY CRISTINA MORACHO
There are moments when you should know what you were getting yourself into and this was one of them. I should have known this was going to be an overdone 90s teen angst novel.. but I wasn’t ready for how over the top it would be. If that wasn’t enough.. The title, the cover don’t match…
