I can't write books so I review them instead
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. A mother’s worst nightmare comes true in this novel. 3 years ago, Toni’s 5-year-old daughter disappeared after school. The police have been unsuccessful in finding her, largely because there is simply no trace of Evie from that day. Toni…
When I read the premise of this novel, it immediately reminded me of Room by Emma Donoghue, one of my favorite novels of all time. Like Room, this novel deals with a woman who was kidnapped and kept hidden by her abductor. But that’s all that is similar between these two novels, as the author…
True to my word, I did not try to compare this novel to Gone Girl, even though the title gave me the opportunity to do so; all the author needed to do was add the word “girl” to the end of her title (okay, not a funny joke, but it made me laugh in my head)!…
When I first approached this novel, I had no idea what a shut eye was. Apparently a Shut Eye is a true psychic, as opposed to frauds. That got me interested right away because I love anything psychic. I don’t know if I really believe in psychics per se but reading about them is always…
When you read as much and as often as me, sometimes books can start to seem as if they are all the same. The story doesn’t really appear unique, the characters begin to blend into one, and everything just stops being exciting. When that happens, I know I need to shake things up and get…
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…
I had heard this book being described as gritty, which immediately caught my attention. I like stories that capture the violence that is prevalent in society and I enjoy reading books that have a “raw” feeling to them. Based on the description, I felt that this book would be right for me. So here is…
This book was given to me as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I read the description for this novel, I almost jumped up and down in my seat for excitement. It literally has everything that I love all rolled into one. Mystery? Check. Crazy killings and kidnappings? Check.…
This novel was given to me as an advanced copy by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love standalone thrillers. I like them because they (usually) give me just the right amount of thrill without making me go back and read EVERYTHING that came before that one particular novel. I like reading books…
This book is a translation from a Swedish novel written by a husband and wife duo. I’ve heard of this novel as being along the same line as Stieg Larsson’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which I ADORE (I will make sure to put my review for that novel up soon)! Of course, I was excited…
