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…

RUN ROSE RUN BY DOLLY PARTON, JAMES PATTERSON
To sum it all up on the first line, this book was’meh’. I liked what they tried to do here, but just didn’t have any spunk that made me ‘get into the story’. The storyline, the subject matter, the ‘thrill’ didn’t come together to make me want to read it. I honestly started dreading having…

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
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
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 STARLESS CROWN BY JAMES ROLLINS
As a huge James Rollins fan, this is a hard one to get through. Maybe why I avoided having to write a review on it for so long. Here we go… I really enjoy all of Rollin’s stories. From his crime fighting, secret service-like series, Sigma, to one off books where someone goes somewhere…
