Subject 375 by Nikki Owen – Project Trilogy #1

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I have a neighbour who loves conspiracy theories. Whenever he gets the chance, he talks to me about the latest conspiracy theory he has heard about. What’s more, he strongly believes in each one. At one point in time,…

The Evening Spider by Emily Arsenault

This novel was one that I had attempted to read previously but had been unable to finish because I was just too depressed to focus on anything. Now that I am working on getting through my depression, it felt only right to return to this novel and give it the fair shot it deserves. So…

Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

This novel sounded like your usual thriller about two sisters falling apart because of some tragedy and then something brings them back and they solve everything. So my expectations for this novel were not too high. I mean, there have been so many thrillers that have a similar story line that I really wasn’t expecting…

Dark Corners by Ruth Rendell

I get biweekly newsletters from the library that informs me of the latest novels coming in. I make sure to go through the newsletters thoroughly because a lot of times, I find some amazing novels like The Library at Mount Char. This book is also something that I found through the online newsletter and I…

The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon

I’ve been feeling pretty antsy while reading and it may be because I am looking for a change in genre. So I decided to borrow this “horror”/supernatural style novel on a whim and give it a go. It wasn’t a totally random choice as I was recommended it based on my interests from some reading…

Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica

I don’t know if you’ve read my post Good Girl but that was Mary Kubica’s first novel! I quite liked that and I was pleasantly surprised to see she had written another one already, so of course I had to read it! Heidi Wood is an extremely charitable woman: she works in a nonprofit organization, brings in…

Disclaimer by Renée Knight

I went back to my “dark novel” phase with this book. I’ve been trying to mix it up by reading books from a bunch of different genres so I’m not just reading one kind of novel but I find that the trend for this summer seems to be thrillers that are dark and disturbing. I…

The Woods by Harlan Coben

So I loves this author so much that I rushed to get my hands on another book of his. And this was just as good as the last one! One summer camp night, Paul Copeland’s sister and 3 other teenagers went into the forest and disappeared. Twenty years later, he is still grieving for his…

Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm

As soon as I finished my exams,  I found myself bombarded by a bunch of books that I had placed a hold on now becoming available. So now, I’m in a rush to get through them all while trying to balance all of my other commitments. This is the first book that I decided to…

The Dinner by Herman Koch

I really need to move on to a new genre of books! I promise that the next book review I write will not be about anything dark or disturbing. Paul Lohman and his wife Claire are meeting Paul’s brother, Serge, and his wife Babette at a restaurant. Although all pretenses make it seem like this…
