I can't write books so I review them instead
I have purposefully been avoiding this novel. It has been getting a huge amount of hype; everywhere I go, I see people reading this book, or recommending it to me. I see it in so many stores and everywhere in the library. For some reason, I just didn’t find the premise of this novel interesting…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Dance is a big part of my life. I have been learning Indian Classical forms of dance since I was 4 years old and I still dance today. At one point in my life, I was just doing it…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Dr. James Verraday is a professor of forensic psychology who specializes in criminal profiling. His passion for social justice has been nurtured by his tension-filled past (and present) with the police. So when Detective Constance Maclean appears in Verraday’s…
The hardest books for me to read are those where children die. Children are so vulnerable, so innocent, and when harm befalls them … well, it just hurts me to hear about it. There are times when I’ve chosen not to read a really good book because the topic has been too difficult for me…

Before I even began reading this story, I knew I would be in love with it. And that’s exactly what happened. Felix loves his job as artistic director of the Makeshiweg Theatre. So engrossed is he…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The premise of this story was that it would be a fast paced mystery/thriller. While it definitely had a thrill factor, it wasn’t to the degree I was expecting. One reviewer mentioned that this novel was more of a…
And so I am back with yet another post-apocalyptic novel! I don’t know what is my fascination with this theme, but I don’t think I’m the only one since there are a TON of books being released about this same topic. I have been waiting a long time to read this one. When I first…
When I first approached this novel, I had no idea what a shut eye was. Apparently a Shut Eye is a true psychic, as opposed to frauds. That got me interested right away because I love anything psychic. I don’t know if I really believe in psychics per se but reading about them is always…
