Government drone by day and book lover and geek girl by night! I review on Goodreads, StoryGraph, and NetGalley. (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Classic's Quick Questions interview.)

Classic's Reviews:

Framed in Death by J.D. Robb

Framed in Death by J.D. Robb

September 3, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book from NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This is the 61st Eve Dallas/In Death book and I am not going to do a rundown really. This gets 4 stars since even though it gets a little paint by numbers here and there, it was still solid. I liked this one more than the last book in the series. In this book, Eve/Peabody and others are after an Artist who is focused on hiring LCs/street workers […]

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman

September 1, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I honestly liked this one and for those who are looking for a book to read for Halloween. The only reason why I gave this one 4 stars was honestly towards the end the long paragraphs of people’s dialogue just did my head in. I just needed some type of sentence breaks I know that Malerman was doing that to make you more enmeshed in the story, but it’s up there with “House of Leaves” for me. I think I would have liked this better […]

No Exit by Taylor Adams

No Exit by Taylor Adams

September 1, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I honestly have nothing to say outside of if you want to follow a thriller that has the main lead do stupid things the whole book, this is the book for you. “No Exit” follows college student, Darby Thorne who is traveling home to see her mother and sister during a snowstorm that turns into a full fledged blizzard. Darby eventually can’t see and stops at a rest stop. While there, she meets 4 other people. Stepping outside to see if she can get a […]

Ariadne by Jennifer Saint

Ariadne by Jennifer Saint

August 31, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

My one best friend is going to strangle me if I don’t finish this book and send it to her already. I got this with her two years ago and promised to send it. And honestly if it wasn’t for that and being on a nice long break before next Thursday, I would have probably just sent this thing to her without trying to read it. I am a sucker for Greek myths though and I heard this re-telling was good, but honestly it’s just […]

Out There Screaming Edited by Jordan Peele

Out There Screaming by Jordan Peele

August 31, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I started this last November and yep, took me until today to just finally dust it off my TBR. I quit it because honestly I didn’t really enjoy this entire anthology at all. Some of the stories bored me out of my skull. I always try to make sure I post a min-review on each story in an anthology, but I almost DNFed this one and felt bad about that since most of the writers are Black and POC. Also this got awards which made […]

Hemlock & Silver

Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher

August 31, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I have to say, I really do like T. Kingfisher’s newer writing. I think she still has moments of humor in her books, but this and the last one, “A Sorceress Comes to Call” feels more grown-up in some way I can’t name. I thought that parts of this book seemed to be taking on some of the best parts of the “Universe of the White Rat” but set in a different world/place. There are saints here with all of the gods run over eons […]
