How I Lost You by Jenny Blackhurst

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…

My Husband’s Wife by Jane Corry

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…

The Empress by S. J. Kincaid – Diabolic #2

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I remember when I read The Diabolic that I didn’t enjoy it and wasn’t planning on reading the next installment in the series. Well guess who received an ARC for the sequel??? That’s right, it was me. In order to…

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

I resisted for a long time before reading this novel. Why? Because it was getting super popular and it was getting televised, and I thought it was just all hype. It’s happened so many times where people get really excited about a book and then I read it with high expectations and get let down.…

The Ghostwriter by Alessandra Torre

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’ll be honest: when I started reading this book, I didn’t know what to expect. The premise of the novel doesn’t give much information and it really keeps the reader’s imagination open. What I will say is that I…

The Man in the Crooked Hat by Harry Dolan

Thank you to Penguin Random House and the First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. When I read the premise of this novel, I was hooked. It was just so intriguing and I could already feel myself wanting to know more about the author’s vision for this story. I’m…

The Unquiet Grave by Sharyn McCrumb

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. What drew me to this novel was that it was a historical fiction based on a real murder case. And let me tell you, this is a VERY unique murder case. Especially since the accusation was made by the…

The French Girl by Lexie Elliot

Thank you to Penguin Random House and the First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Every time I see a book with “Girl” in the title, it makes me cringe. There have been so many of them and I know there will be more still. And it’s not like…
