I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve always been wary of reading fiction novels about famous people. I’m referring to books that hint at affairs or at secret muses of famous artists. I always worry that it will distort my view of their work. That’s why I approached this book only after having been recommended it numerous times. Frances Osgood does…
I was recommended this book because of my love of dark novels and I must say that this novel is definitely sinister. It was slow going at first but I’m glad I pushed through with it! This novel revolves around one incident: the kidnapping of Mia Dennett, daughter of a prominent judge. The reader glimpses…
As soon as I finished my exams, I found myself bombarded by a bunch of books that I had placed a hold on now becoming available. So now, I’m in a rush to get through them all while trying to balance all of my other commitments. This is the first book that I decided to…
I really need to move on to a new genre of books! I promise that the next book review I write will not be about anything dark or disturbing. Paul Lohman and his wife Claire are meeting Paul’s brother, Serge, and his wife Babette at a restaurant. Although all pretenses make it seem like this…
I’ve seen this book on numerous reading lists and have heard from many people that this was worthwhile reading. Since I’m stuck in this genre, I decided to give it a go. It took me only a few hours to read it! Jodi loves Todd. She attends to his every need and is the perfect…
When I read the trailer for this book, I had to get it. It seemed like my type of book what with all of its serial killer creepiness and victorian setting. Catherine is an agitated young woman who lives with her uncle in a ruin of a house. Although her uncle is determined to see…
I’m going to warn you right now: this is not for the faint of heart. If you don’t like disturbing novels, then don’t read this one. If you liked Heartstopper by Joy Fielding or anything by Gillian Flynn, then this book is for you. Sarah and Jennifer have always been careful. Where normal teenage girls…
Lately, I’ve been really into Victorian-esque novels so when I read the description for this one, I thought it would be worth a shot. Charlotte and her brother, James, have always been inseparable. Their mother’s death had led to their father spending more and more time tending to his business, leaving them all alone in…
If you haven’t realized already, I like to read a lot of dark thrillers. With a title like this one, you know I wouldn’t be able to resist. Martine LeDuc works as the publicity director for the city of MontrĂ©al. Part of her job is to ensure that the city is seen as a charming…
I liked this story significantly more than Dark Places but it still wasn’t as good as Gone Girl. Either way, it’s worth reading if you are into the whole “twisted” storyline kind of thing. In this novel, the main character, Camille, is a journalist. She is reluctantly sent back to her home town to cover…
