I can't write books so I review them instead
I gave this novel to myself as a Christmas present because I read the premise before it was ever released and decided right then and there to go for it and give it a shot. I knew I would be increasing my book-reading burden but I was way too excited to care. Last night, when…
Before reading this novel, I had no idea of the historical significance of the Barbizon Hotel. Sure, I’ve heard about Sylvia Plath and Jaon Crawford, but I had no idea that they lived in a women’s-only hotel! This just made me more interested in reading this story (even though the story has nothing to do…
I’ve been very excited to read this novel. Ever since I read Wake of Vultures and Conspiracy of Ravens, I’ve become more interested in the idea of reading novels with an American West style. This novel presented me with the opportunity to explore this as well as just having a super interesting premise. Elka was rescued by…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had previously read The Ice Twins by this same author, and while I hadn’t loved that novel, I still thought it had been very well-written with a very interesting plot.

It has been a while since I have found myself unable to put a book down because it kept me on the edge of my seat. This is one of those books. After the number of thrillers I’ve read, I’m a lot more skeptical to positive reviews, especially since I usually don’t agree with those…

I’ve only read one book about a cult, and it was more about the aftermath of it and the resurrection of it. This novel focused on the perspective of one girl who joins a cult, and how that experience changed her. Going into this novel, I had no idea what to make of it, and…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love the classic fantasy story with adventure and romance and plot twists and magic. But it can get very scripted and boring, because everyone wants to stick to the same mold. This story gave me the opportunity to…
It’s been a while since I read a book just for laughs. I think the last one was probably a Stephanie Plum novel. Either way, it’s been long overdue, and when I heard about this novel, I thought it would be the perfect time to give it a shot. So here we go! Tina Fontana…
After reading The Dinner, I was anxiously waiting to get my hands on a copy of this novel. I liked the author’s unique style and his way of building up to a climactic moment, when everything is laid bare. It’s a refreshingly different novel compared to what I usually read, and that was my expectation for…
