CARRIE SOTO IS BACK BY TAYLOR JENKINS REID
TJR is one of my favorite authors and Carrie Soto Is Back is a great example as to why. Why tennis? Who cares about sports? Who would ever read a book with play by play of a sporting event? Answer, no one… well, no one unless TJR is writing it. This is the magic of…

THE VILLA BY RACHEL HAWKINS
Rachel Hawkins is in the group of authors that I look for … I get excited when one of these authors puts out a book and I want to be the first to read it. I’m a little on The Villa, I’ll admit. I’ll confess I saw the ratings tumble as it was first released…

THE MYSTERY AT THE END OF WILLOW STREET BY JANIS HENNESSEY
I am not a kid (I know surprise) but I did choose to read this book when I received a free copy through a giveaway. Here are my thoughts as an adult reading this book and answering the question of, would I give this to ‘my’ kid or a kid. I’m not sure I would?…

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…
