The Vanishing Year by Kate Moretti

More thrillers! I’ve had this book on my TBR list for a while and I finally got around to it. So let’s forgo the long introduction. Here is my review: Zoe Whittaker is the beautiful young wife to handsome, charming Wall Street tycoon Henry Whittaker. She is a member of Manhattan’s social elite. She is…

Poison by Gail Niederhoffer

I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. True to my promise on not shying away from books that have to do with marriage, I accepted this ARC. The premise was mysterious enough that I went into it with no idea as to the direction it would…
