The Last Widow by Karin Slaughter | Review

The Last Widow by Karin Slau..

REVIEW: Whoa, what a great, heart-pounding story!! Karin Slaughter is the best when it comes to thrillers! I didn’t read anything about this one at all before I started, so imagine my surprise when I found Sara Linton kidnapped by some very bad guys right in front of Will Trent. I was horrified and terrified […]

I Know You Know by Gilly MacMillan | Review

I Know You Know by Gilly Mac..

Review: Over the past few years, I’ve learned that a new Gilly Macmillan book is going to be a good time. It is so easy for me to get lost in her stories because of the multiple points of view that eventually converge. I also love the way she incorporates different forms of media (print, […]

Day of the Dead by Nicci French | Review

Day of the Dead by Nicci Fre..

REVIEW: I did something unusual this time and started a series with the final book first, which is super out-of-character for me but it really worked here. Day of the Dead is the last book in the Frieda Klein series by Nicci French, and I loved it. Going into this series, I had heard plenty […]

Cockroaches by Jo Nesbo | Review

Cockroaches by Jo Nesbo | Re..

Review: I loved The Bat by Jo Nesbo so I was excited to read Cockroaches. Cockroaches is the second book in the Harry Hole series, but I’ve seen many people say to skip directly to the third book because the first two aren’t as good as the rest of them. I genuinely hate skipping books in […]

Down the River Unto the Sea by Walter Mosley | Review

Down the River Unto the Sea ..

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I also purchased a copy of the audiobook from Audible using my own money. Receipt of a review copy from the publisher did not affect my opinion of this book nor did it affect the content of my […]

The Black Ice by Michael Connelly | Review

The Black Ice by Michael Con..

Review: One of the things that I love most about Harry Bosch is that he won’t stop on a case until he finds the answers. He has to be satisfied that he has found justice, even if he is in danger, even if he ends up breaking the rules to do so. That’s exactly what […]

Now new DNA evidence has surfaced, and detectives are searching for new leads. This is a quick-moving, character-driven detective story. There are multiple perspectives, including the […]

If I Die Tonight by Alison Gaylin | Review

If I Die Tonight by Alison G..

Review “By the time you read this, I’ll be dead.” The prologue in If I Die Tonight by Alison Gaylin is comprised of a Facebook post. Jackie’s son Wade posts what appears to be a suicide note on his mom’s Facebook account and it receives 1,043 likes (what is wrong with people?). Chapter One begins […]

The Black Echo by Michael Connelly | Review

The Black Echo by Michael Co..

Review: Starting a huge series like this one can be such an intimidating thing – the Harry Bosch Universe is so long! That’s both a great thing and an overwhelming thing because there are tons of books to catch up on, and I want to read them in order. So I read The Black Echo by Michael […]

Beyond Reach by Karin Slaughter Review

Beyond Reach by Karin Slaugh..

Review: I have no idea how to talk coherently about how much I love the Grant County Series. It hasn’t been the crimes and solving them as much as it has been the character and their relationships that have made me gravitate toward these books and love them like I do. I’ve both been excited about […]
