Into the Water by Paula Hawkins

When I read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, I wasn’t blown away. However, I chalked up my feelings to the fact that I had just recently read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and was comparing every thriller to that one. So when I heard that Hawkins had released another thriller, I thought that this…

The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand

Merry Christmas! To celebrate this festive holiday, here is a novel that is all about the Christmas spirit! Here is my review: 5 years ago on Christmas Eve, Holly was visited by 3 ghosts who showed her how selfish and spoiled she was to try to get her to mend her ways. She didn’t. And…

Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna

Thank you to Penguin Random House and the First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. When I heard about this book, I thought it would be just another thriller. I was so wrong! This thriller had me hooked and it was by far a favorite of mine, and a…

Green by Sam Graham-Felsen

The year is almost ending, and Christmas is approaching, and I have soooo many books I want to finish!! I’m home right now with my family, which is great because I can spend some quality time with them, but not so great in terms of getting through my book list. However, I’m going to do…

Witches of Lychford by Paul Cornell – Lychford #1

Yay for urban fantasy stories featuring witches! I really wanted to get myself into a short book, and what better way than to read a novella?

The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne

I love biology. Therefore, any fiction story that has biology in it will capture my attention. I also heard very good things about this novel from other reviewers, and that finally made my decision to give this book a try. Here is my review: Professor Theo Cray is a computational biologist who uses computer programs…

The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones

By far, this was one of the most interesting premises for a teen fiction novel that I have seen this month. It reminded me a lot of the tv show Supernatural, which used to be one of my favorite things to binge-watch. Getting a chance to read something similar to it was so exciting! Here is…

The Twilight Pariah by Jeffrey Ford

I was feeling in the mood for a horror story and this short novel, with its creepy cover and even creepier premise, seemed like the right fit. I grabbed it from the library and read it in just over 2 hours. Here is my review: Maggie, Russell, and Henry have been friends for a long…

I Found You by Lisa Jewell

The last time I read something by Lisa Jewell was 2 years ago, and I absolutely loved it. The book was The Girls in the Garden, and I found the thriller to be very engrossing. With that experience in mind, I was really excited to see how this novel would turn out! Here is my review: …

The Changeling by Victor LaValle

This was a novel I have been most excited to read and I wanted to make sure I would get the chance to read it before the year ends. I love magical realism and I love the idea of changeling children even more. It doesn’t hurt that the cover is really beautiful! Anyways, here is…
