The Black Painting by Neil Olson

Look at this cover, and tell me you wouldn’t be intrigued to read it (especially if you are a book cover snob like me)! I thought this was a stunning cover, and when I read the premise, I was immediately drawn to the supernatural aspect of the story. I may not know much about art,…

Best Friends Forever by Margot Hunt

I had a long day in the lab, and I’ve been meaning to really get through my reading list so I decided to start with this one. Other people who read it considered it a quick but good read, and I thought it would be perfect for me, especially since I’ve been on a thriller…

A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena

After seeing that this book was getting a lot of hype, I decided to give this one a go. I read The Couple Next Door and I recall not enjoying it. However, I wanted to give this author another shot. Here’s my review: Synopsis (Goodreads): Karen and Tom Krupp are happy—they’ve got a lovely home in upstate…

The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed

I started reading this book with no real expectations about it. And then IT BLEW MY MIND. Synopsis (Goodreads): Who are the Nowhere Girls? They’re every girl. But they start with just three: Grace Salter is the new girl in town, whose family was run out of their former community after her southern Baptist preacher mom…

The Taster by V. S. Alexander

I used to be a huge fan of historical fiction novels. At one point, this was the only genre I would read from. But as time went on, I became more drawn to fantasy, science fiction, and mysteries. Now, it’s a rare thing for me to read a historical fiction story – but it is…

A Dead Djinn in Cairo by P. Djeli Clark

I’ve been trying to read more short stories and this was one that I had heard about through a sci-fi recommendation newsletter. It seemed interesting enough and so, I thought I would check it out. I’m so glad I did because it was well worth it! Synopsis (Goodreads): Egypt, 1912. In an alternate Cairo infused with…

My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent

I have a penchant for finding disturbing stories. Most of the time, I love the stories despite their gruesome nature. I like the different perspectives that these novels give me about what it means to survive, and how a person can be affected by trauma. It’s also interesting to see how cruel or twisted someone…

The Night Child by Anna Quinn

Don’t judge me but I selected this book because the cover was so intriguing and pretty. The premise was interesting, too, but I am definitely one of those people that go after books with pretty covers. I had an inkling of what I thought the story would be about … but I was completely taken…

The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances

I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thrillers are one of my most-read genres, apart from fantasy. However, with my avid love for thrillers comes my high expectations; I’m always looking for books that will blow me out of the water and are distinct from the…
