I can't write books so I review them instead
I had a long day in the lab, and I’ve been meaning to really get through my reading list so I decided to start with this one. Other people who read it considered it a quick but good read, and I thought it would be perfect for me, especially since I’ve been on a thriller…

I’m so glad I did because it was well worth it! Synopsis (Goodreads): Egypt, 1912. In an alternate Cairo infused with…
If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I love reading thrillers that are … well, not always pleasant.

Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin Random House and the First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I read the premise of this novel and immediately knew it was for me. Now, I say this phrase a lot, and often times I find myself disappointed. That was not the case…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really like stories about writers, regardless of genre. While I am an avid reader, I have very little skill when it comes to writing anything. And believe me, I’ve tried. So I have a lot of respect for…
As soon as I read the premise for this novel, I knew I had to give this book a shot. It was a short blurb but it contained everything it needed to pique my interest. It’s about 400 pages…. and I devoured it in one sitting. Here is my review: Thou shalt kill. In a…
