  • 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 STARLESS CROWN BY JAMES ROLLINS

    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…

  • 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…

  • TROUBLES IN PARADISE (PARADISE, #3) BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    TROUBLES IN PARADISE (PARADISE, #3) BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    Disappointed. SO, disappointed. I started with the first book and got hooked. The story line was great, I loved all the characters and Hilderbrand left readers wondering at the end. The second book was meh, I was thinking ‘okay, she’s just trying to bridge us to the big finale for the third book.’ WRONG. I…
