Going to Dark Places

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

March 11, 2026 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

Dark Places tells the horrific tale of Libby Day, the sole survivor of her murdered family. Libby was only a child when her mother and two sisters were slaughtered, and she was the key witness who testified that her troubled brother Ben was the murderer. Why did Libby, and the rest of her small town, believe Ben could be guilty of such a brutal crime? Well, he dyed his hair black. He liked heavy metal music. He doodled upside-down crosses in his diary. Satanic panic […]

You Did Nothing Wrong by C.G. Drews

You Did Nothing Wrong by C.G. Drews

March 11, 2026 by Classic 4 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I have to say, I am glad that I gave C.G. Drews another chance. I did not care for the first book that I read by them, Don’t Let The Forest In, and once I found out there was going to be another book in that series I went, well that’s a hard pass. But I saw a fellow friend/reviewer who loved this book so gave them another chance. […]

Prince? Assassin? Both?

The Boy Wonder by Juni Ba, Chris O'Halloran, Aditya Bidikar

March 11, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I learned that Dick Grayson was only one of several Robins I was probably in my thirties. How could this be? I mean Bruce Wayne stayed the same, why didn’t Robin? Did he really need to be Nightwing? Red Hood? Red Robin? What does this prove?  Honestly, I don’t know if it has to prove anything, but in Juni Ba, Chris O’Halloran, Aditya Bidikar (and others) The Boy Wonder they collected some of the stories that focus on the newest addition the SuperHero of […]

Riff in the Reef

Search for the Silver Shell: A Branches Book (Coral Keepers #1) by Robin Yardi and Paul Kellam

March 11, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The young chapter book, Search for the Silver Shell: A Branches Book (Coral Keepers #1) by Robin Yardi and Paul Kellam (illustrator) fell a little short for me as an adult reader. But the aged 6 to 9 reader will find the fantasy and friendship elements exciting and fun.  It is a part fantasy, part mystery, and (mostly) adventure. This is a new series that feels both “old school” and modern with the diverse characters, the type of freedom the children have and keeps the […]

My friend wrote a book (two, actually) and you won’t be able to read it if you can’t read Danish

Kraft & Mod (Courage) by Trine J. Cederlof

March 10, 2026 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars Nowhere Book Bingo 26: A Middle Grade Book Defeat the Goblin TBR: The Shiny book (added in December 2024) Disclaimer! The author is a friend of mine, but my opinions are my own, and I bought the book with my own money (because friends make sure friends get royalties). As part of the peace agreement between the Green Shores and the Blue Mountains, Prince Mirounga (called Miro), nephew and heir to the king of the Green Shores, is sent into fosterage to the Blue Mountains.

Best Horowitz Yet

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

February 28, 2026 by esmemoria 4 Comments

Moonflower Murders is my third Anthony Horowitz mystery and I think it’s the best one thus far. This is a mystery with a full mystery book inside it (and even a short story type mystery embedded in the nestled mystery book!) Susan Ryeland was the editor for late author Alan Conway’s mystery series featuring Atticus Pünd. After Conway’s murder, she relocated to Greece to run a small hotel with her partner. One day a couple comes to see her with a rather preposterous proposal. Their […]
