REVIEW: Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson was so much fun to read! I went into it knowing nothing about the book except that Peter Swanson wrote it, and I really think that knowing as little possible before starting it is the best way to go. The book, in a nutshell: Old Devils Bookstore owner […]
REVIEW: The Sea of Lost Girls has a very catchy beginning that hooked me right away. Tess gets a call from her teenage son, Rudy, in the middle of the night asking her to come pick him up. The situation surrounding why he wants to be picked up is suspicious, considering his clothes are wet. […]
REVIEW: I’ve read several books lately where it is just best to start reading without having background info about the story, and I think this is another of those. I’m not going to go over any of the plot because there are other reviews out there where you can find good plot a run-down. What […]

REVIEW: Karin Slaughter’s books are truly comfort reads for me, blood and guts and all, because I read so many of them throughout my Dad’s long illness over the past couple of years. I adore her ability to punch me in the gut from the very beginning with her grit and gore, her exquisite characterization, […]
Review: I picked Low Country Hero by Lee Tobin McClain because of the coastal South Carolina setting and the RaeAnne Thayne quote on one of the covers! Low Country Hero takes place in the small, close-knit community of Safe Haven, SC where the neighbors always seem willing to pitch in and lend a hand to […]
REVIEW: I was pulled into Before She Knew Him right away, from the first chapter or two, and I never wanted to put it down at all, which felt awesome since I have been so excited to read this book-my first Peter Swanson experience! Reading friends and people all across the book community have consistently […]
REVIEW: This is one of those psychological thriller mysteries where a group of friends are gather together on a trip, and someone is murdered. So which character is the one that got killed? And who did it? I’m incredibly drawn to these stories and I’m pretty sure I’ve enjoyed them every time I’ve read them. There […]
