  • THE MAID BY NITA PROSE

    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…

  • ONE BY ONE BY RUTH WARE

    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…

  • DON’T LET GO BY HARLAN COBEN

    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…

  • THE VILLA BY RACHEL HAWKINS

    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 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…

  • 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…
