The Storm by Rachel Hawkins

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I honestly am shocked at how much I loved this newest offering by Hawkins. I did not care for “The Heiress” and thought there was too much going on in that book to really enjoy it. “The Storm” though has the perfect plot (who killed a Presidential hopeful in the 80s, his teenage mistress or a storm?) and the characters we meet are really intriguing. I found myself […]

The Girl I Was by Jeneva Rose

I never heard of this author before, but she’s apparently very popular in thriller reader circles. I have to say that this book which is out of the norm for her was very very good. We got some time travel here with some heart. And I do say heart though parts of the book is heartbreaking. I really did enjoy this and am happy I got to read something that took my mind off of things for a bit. “The Girl I Was” follows Alexis […]

The Tenant by Fredia McFadden

Wow. I have to say that this was probably the best McFadden book I have read since “The Housemaid.” Also, this is the first of her books that the main character we follow is a male character. It gave a different perspective as they were the protagonist. Usually male characters pop up as a side character and we may or may not get their point of view towards the end of the book or they are the antagonist of the book. I honestly didn’t know […]

The Evil Lives! by R.L. Stine

Well this was a wild ride. I do think that since Stine did not revisit this series for a bit, things got wonky here in terms of continuity errors that I was going, what the world about. All of them were concerning Sarah Fear that we learned about in the Fear Street Cheerleaders trilogy. I don’t know why Stine did this, maybe to have a new spin on things. But it didn’t work because I still own all of the Fear Street Cheerleader books so […]

A Merciful Death by Kendra Elliot

Trigger warning: Rape This is going to be my last book in this series. I got interested in the character of Mercy Kilpatrick since she popped up in a Bree Taggert book. But this was just all over the place. I didn’t like the plot following these preppers who often in real life are racist as anything. I think Elliot skipped that whole thing purposefully because I think she thought she was doing something with hey preppers got good points about making sure they grow […]

Beyond Her Reach by Melinda Leigh

Beyond Her Reach by Melinda Leigh

“Beyond Her Reach” follows Bree and her deputies after they are called to a murder scene where the victim was practically decapitated. The victim was dealing with a contentious divorce and seemed to have a new boyfriend who wasn’t that into her as she maybe was. The book follows Bree as they try to hunt down the killer before they strike again. Well I wasn’t in the mood to wait on another book so just swapped this one for a planned read. Eh. This was […]
