Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

It has been a while since I have found myself unable to put a book down because it kept me on the edge of my seat. This is one of those books. After the number of thrillers I’ve read, I’m a lot more skeptical to positive reviews,  especially since I usually don’t agree with those…

Blood Divine by Greg Howard

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. YAY VAMPIRES!!!! As usual, I got super excited when I read the blurb for this novel. Vampires and witches and biblical connections… it’s got everything I’ve ever wanted all rolled into one. And if you haven’t already noticed, I…

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

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…

Don’t Tell Anyone by Eleanor Gray

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am currently swamped with tons and tons of work, which is equally matched by tons and tons of books to read. I am going to do my best to get through everything at a steady pace, so hopefully…

The Lost Girls by Heather Young

There was a point in time when I was a huge fan of Kate Morton. I still like her work, but I used to be obsessed with every one of her books, and I would always be on the lookout for one of her new releases. The premise of this novel reminded me of the…

Summerlong by Peter S. Beagle

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love the classic fantasy story with adventure and romance and plot twists and magic. But it can get very scripted and boring, because everyone wants to stick to the same mold. This story gave me the opportunity to…

The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride

I deliberately chose to read this novel because it is outside of my usual scope. This isn’t a fantasy story or a mystery/thriller. This is a  story that deals with love in its many forms, as well as ambition. It takes you on a journey to see how exactly the main character grows up. I…

House by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti

I wanted to read a really good horror story. Something that would keep me up at night and would make it hard to fall asleep. I’m weird, I know, but I just had a craving for it, the way you get a craving for chocolate. My library recommended this book for me, so I just…

Dear Mr. M by Herman Koch

After reading The Dinner, I was anxiously waiting to get my hands on a copy of this novel. I liked the author’s unique style and his way of building up to a climactic moment, when everything is laid bare. It’s a refreshingly different novel compared to what I usually read, and that was my expectation for…

The After Party by Anton DiSclafani

I’ve had my eye out for this novel for a while now. It was on a list of anticipated bestsellers before its release and after reading the premise, I was quite interested in giving it a shot. This novel is not my usual style but it had gotten so much advance praise that I couldn’t…
