I can't write books so I review them instead
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 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…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. In the spirit of Halloween and all things spooky, I have been reading books that are in the horror/supernatural genre. This novel fits perfectly into the category of supernatural, and this is what drew me to it in the…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love apocalyptic novels. I even have a separate category for them here on this website, instead of classifying them under science fiction. However, the more I read in this genre, the more I find that all of the…
It wasn’t until I opened the first page that I realized this novel was part of a series and I haven’t read any of the previous books. As much as I am a stickler for reading in order, I decided to just try this one novel on its own and make a judgement based off…

And while this book won’t be available for a while, I strongly urge all of my readers to keep this novel…
Sometimes, authors aren’t always clear about whether their novels are part of a series or even what the order of books should be. This was the case with Val McDermid. At first, I had borrowed one of her books, only to discover that it was part of a series and required me to have read…
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…
Now that school has started, I’m probably going to slow down on the blogging. Believe me when I say that this makes me really sad. But the thing is I have so many books to read for my own courses that I don’t know if I can handle writing more than biweekly – and that…
It has taken me a while to write this review. I’ve been suffering from a bit of tendonitis so it makes writing and typing extremely painful. It still hasn’t gotten better but I don’t want to prolong the review any further so here it goes. Baton Rouge in 1989 is a quiet little place where…
