I can't write books so I review them instead
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an eARC in exchange for my honest review. Well everyone, here I am, back again with my reviews! I’ve actually been reading all of these books during my hiatus but I just didn’t have the time to put everything into a blog post. But it’s here now,…
I received this novel as an advance copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I was first drawn to the cover and title of this book, both of which seemed a bit quirky. The premise sounded a lot more serious but it really appealed to me because of its focus on a child…
I received this novel as an advance copy from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. I read this premise and immediately thought “This book is the one for me”. I was so excited for this book … and then I read it. And I didn’t like it. Here’s why: Summary (Goodreads): Jane loses everything when…
I’ve always been eager to read books that are written by an author whose first language is not English.

If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I love reading thrillers that are … well, not always pleasant.

I’m going to start this review by giving a trigger warning: this novel deals with uncomfortable topics like incest and child abuse. Please keep that in mind if you are choosing to read this novel. With that, I’m going to start my review: Years ago, just before the country was incinerated to wasteland, 10 men…
I’ve been seeing this book everywhere and I really liked the premise of the story. It hints at fairy lore and herbs and changelings, as well as featuring 3 women as the main characters. I was really excited to read this book. So here is my review: Hedged in by gossip and joined by their…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Whenever I read a premise where the main character has no recollection of an incident and is just “told” that something happened in a certain way, it makes me roll my eyes. This scenario has been overused so many…
I was serious when I mentioned I was going to make an effort to read more books on marriages. I will be honest, I literally chose it because its title made it pretty obvious that this story was going to be about marriage. I was surprised to find out that there would be some murder…
