I can't write books so I review them instead
When I read the premise of this novel, it immediately reminded me of Room by Emma Donoghue, one of my favorite novels of all time. Like Room, this novel deals with a woman who was kidnapped and kept hidden by her abductor. But that’s all that is similar between these two novels, as the author…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. February seems to be the month of mysteries, and this novel is no different! Many of the books I have received from NetGalley are part of this genre, so I’m looking forward to immersing myself in the world of…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise ship. It seems like such a great way to travel and explore different parts of the world, while still maintaining a level of comfort. After reading this novel, I’m definitely having…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I requested this novel, I had had no idea that it was part of a series and that this was the second book. I usually try my best to read in order but I’ve been so busy with…
I was out looking for a new mystery/thriller series to get into and the librarian recommended I read this one. While I’ve seen Iris Johansen’s name before, I’ve never actually read anything by her so I was quite curious to see what her writing style would be like. I also really liked the premise of…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I was really little, say about 4 or 5 years old, I learned about the Sun and how important it is for our planet’s existence. And I remember someone telling me that one day the Sun would die…
True to my word, I did not try to compare this novel to Gone Girl, even though the title gave me the opportunity to do so; all the author needed to do was add the word “girl” to the end of her title (okay, not a funny joke, but it made me laugh in my head)!…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wish people would stop comparing every psychological thriller to Gone Girl. I am getting quite tired of hearing of so many novels being “perfect for fans of Gone Girl” and I’m saying this because it is unfair to the author…
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…
