The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

This book has been number one on my list of must-reads. Everywhere I’ve turned, I’ve read glowing recommendations about this book, and even the synopsis had me excited to give it a go. Finally, I was able to get my hands on it, and I finished it in record time today, even putting aside my…

Don’t Tell Anyone by Eleanor Gray

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am currently swamped with tons and tons of work, which is equally matched by tons and tons of books to read. I am going to do my best to get through everything at a steady pace, so hopefully…

The Lost Girls by Heather Young

There was a point in time when I was a huge fan of Kate Morton. I still like her work, but I used to be obsessed with every one of her books, and I would always be on the lookout for one of her new releases. The premise of this novel reminded me of the…

Wake of Vultures by Lila Bowen – Shadow #1

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I first received this novel, I didn’t know what to expect. I’m not a fan of Western based stories and the last one I had read that was fantasy based was Blood Red Road, which was good but…
