THE MAID BY NITA PROSE
The Maid is something special. How to pinpoint what exactly that ‘special’ is will be impossible .. but here is my attempt through this review. If you’ve read any of my previous reviews you’ll know that I HATE when there is no mystery. When author cannot give the reader that ‘wonder’ while reading. If every…

WEYWARD BY EMILIA HART
Weyward is a lovely tale that reminds me of strolling through a field on a warm, hazy summer day. It doesn’t feel like there is a climatic moment that you are reading towards… you are just, reading. Hart does a wonderful job of weaving the 3 timelines around each other – finding connections but still staying…

ONE BY ONE BY RUTH WARE
I will always be a huge Ruth Ware fan – no matter how I feel about her latest books. She makes too many good ones to give up on her with the ‘okay’ ones. As you can tell, this book was ‘okay’. One, I’m kinda over authors copying the typical Christie book. It’s over done, never unique enough…

FOREVER, INTERRUPTED BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID
TJR’s first book! I didn’t even realize that I picked up this golden debut until I did my after-reading, before-review research. Now – I can totally see how this is the first book and TJR has certainly improved her craft since then. This story is all about grief. Is this the best written book I…

There are many different ways to view this book. You could take it too seriously and go deep into the history. You could hit it with all the points of what a true ‘Mexican Gothic’ story should be. Yet, I am approaching this review as pure entertainment. I love reading more than watching movies.. but…

INTO THE WILD BY JON KRAKAUER
Into the Wild the book is a lengthy expose on the article that the author wrote earlier. The article was just the tip of the iceberg for Krakauer and I believe he got obsessed and couldn’t stop with just the article. He’s expanded on his thoughts, other’s stories and some clarifications he wanted to make since the article,…

DON’T LET GO BY HARLAN COBEN
Coben was an author that I got me into obsessive, read-in-one-day, speed reading thrills. This book was no exception. It has been awhile since I had picked up one of his books and I’m sorry for that. Right from the start we dive into characters and the plot – there is no time to slowly…
