  • GOLDEN GIRL BY ELIN HILDERBRAND

    GOLDEN GIRL BY ELIN HILDERBRAND

    I always go into a Hilderbrand book with anopen mind but realistic that I might not enjoy it. It’s a 50/50 chance for me. I started out with a big eye roll when I realized we were going into the … ‘super natural’. My overall feeling is this book is boring and drawn out to give…

  • THE LONDON SÉANCE SOCIETY BY SARAH PENNER

    THE LONDON SÉANCE SOCIETY BY SARAH PENNER

    Like other reviewers who read ​The Lost Apothecary I was excited for Penner’s next book. The title and cover intrigued me enough to pick it up without a second thought.    I noticed the goodreads rating dropping and was confused because the first few chapters were so good. As the book progressed, I started understanding. Never question my goodreads friends (ha). This is…

  • THE ONLY ONE LEFT BY RILEY SAGER

    THE ONLY ONE LEFT BY RILEY SAGER

    Let’s start this review off by saying, I’m a Riley Sager mega fan.      Now, let’s talk book. If I had to describe this book in one word the answer would be ‘messy’.  The overall plot… messy. The ‘setups’ to try to confuse the reader were … silly, coincidental and unbelievable. There were so many holes…

  • ANXIOUS PEOPLE BY: FREDRIK BACKMAN

    First off, I LOVE FREDRIK BACKMAN. I’ve read a few of his books. A Man Called Ove touched me so much I named my jeep after Ove. I normally love his books and how he pulls at the reader’s heart strings and brings humor into sometimes not very humorous situations. That being said, I STRUGGLED…

  • APPLES NEVER FALL BY: LIANE MORIARTY

    APPLES NEVER FALL BY: LIANE MORIARTY

    I have loved Moriarty’s previous projects, but I have to admit .. I have only ‘watched’ them. This is my first time picking up a Moriarty book and honestly, not that impressed.     Yes, I did read the whole thing but it was such a slow burn with a dud of an ending, I wish I…

  • The Paris Apartment By: Lucy Foley

    The Paris Apartment By: Lucy Foley

    Starting this review off with a plea, ‘Don’t be mad at me!’ I do feel a slight moral obligation to be real with you about the books I read. First bit of truth I need to give you is, dang this book was HYPED UP.      …. and it did not live up to said hype.      What…

  • GWENDY’S MAGIC FEATHER BY: RICHARD CHIZMAR, STEPHEN KING

    GWENDY’S MAGIC FEATHER BY: RICHARD CHIZMAR, STEPHEN KING

    Can this even be considered a book? This book was frustrating. It is ‘endorsed’ by Stephen King .. so you immediately think – well this can’t be that bad. The first book was co-written by King and Chizmar. King started it, couldn’t finish and then let Chizmar work through it. The second book is written…
