The After Party by Anton DiSclafani

I’ve had my eye out for this novel for a while now. It was on a list of anticipated bestsellers before its release and after reading the premise, I was quite interested in giving it a shot. This novel is not my usual style but it had gotten so much advance praise that I couldn’t…

Born Mobster by Paige Dearth

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I usually don’t read novels like this one. I don’t like sad novels or ones that have graphic depictions, especially if it’s regarding constant physical or sexual abuse. But I was given this novel to read and I felt…

The Life and Death of Sophie Stark by Anna North

This novel is completely out of my comfort zone. For one, the genre for this novel most closely resembles realistic fiction, and I don’t usually read novels from this genre. This novel is also very different for me as it deals with cinematography, which is something I am completely unfamiliar with. When I first picked…

The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin

Once in a while you come across a book with a story that just seems too interesting to not read. That’s what happened for me with this novel. When I read the premise of it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a few days. It reminded me of The Incarnations, which was an amazing read,…

Paradise City by Elizabeth Day

I can’t recall the last novel I read that was just realistic fiction. I read so many science fiction and fantasy and thrillers these days that all of the titles and plots that come to mind are from these three genres. This novel was my attempt to even the score (even though I’m pretty sure…

In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware

I remember seeing this book as a hot new release in my library and having to put a hold on it because it was a pre-release selection. At that time, I was very excited to get a chance to read it. But by the time I got it, I found that I couldn’t remember why…

Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes

This novel is actually a sequel to You, which I had written about previously. When I first began to read this novel, I was happy and surprised to find out it took place right where the previous book left off. I devoured this book in one sitting and enjoyed it immensely, if not more than its…

The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell

This is an advance copy given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review! Somehow, I always come back to the thrillers. I just love how I get to follow through with the craziness of the situation, how my heart begins to beat faster the closer the story gets to the big reveal,…
