Both Perfect and Not Enough …

Legend by Marie Lu

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Underrepresented This trilogy seemed to be very popular around the time I started getting into YA and dystopian novels but despite the positive reviews, I never got around to it. I think I was worried about overdoing it and burning myself out but I always meant to get around to the trilogy.  It’s just other, newer books kept coming up.  I finally downloaded it this year, but was trying to push myself to work through earlier downloads, so I still hadn’t started it until I saw a way to include it in Bingo. The story itself is almost […]

Maybe read this during the day…

Come Closer by Sara Gran

by Leave a Comment

This is a sinister story that you can read in just a few hours. It’s about Amanda, who is happily married with a great job as an architect. As strange things begin happening to her, she can’t quite figure out if it’s her, or something else. Like the tapping she constantly hears at home (it’s the pipes), or the strange incident at work (must have been a practical joke). But as things get more sinister, Amanda finds herself consulting a book on demon possession she’s sure was sent to her by mistake. And each time she consults the checklist of […]

When you’re a debt filled nuisance…

Rooted in Evil by Ann Granger

by Leave a Comment

  This is the second Ann Granger book that I have read, and I’m pleased to say that it is on par with her last. Ann Granger is definitely the author for people who enjoys mysteries but don’t like to think too much. And I say that not as an insult, but as a compliment. I personally enjoy a good mystery that I can sink my teeth into and try and unravel all of the threads that continue to appear. However, every now and again I enjoy a lighter mystery to give my brain a rest. Ann Granger is my […]

Boston’s Supernatural side

Dying Breath by Heather Graham

by Leave a Comment

  Not what I expected!! I have not read any other books by Heather Graham, so I was not prepared for this. Having no knowledge of the ‘Krewe of Hunters” I was exceptional freaked out when ghosts started appearing in this book. It soon became apparent that that is what the Krewe of Hunters do – they are a branch of the FBI that solve crimes with the assistance of ghosts. Once I established this, the book became a lot more palatable. I don’t mind horror stories – I grew up reading Stephen King, however I find supernatural stuff too […]

A murder in a rich family.

The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

by Leave a Comment

  I loved this book! A fantastic suspense novel that kept me enthralled, curious, engaged and completely surprised. The pace of the book was perfect, drip feeding clues and slowly revealing more information. An excellent balance between the main crime and building characters, back stories, more mysteries and intriguing characters. The story follows the finding of a rich girl, Andrea, murdered and found underneath a frozen lake. We are introduced to the main detective Erika Foster as she returns to work and is put on the lead of this case. We look into Andrea’s family as well as her fiancé […]

Episode 1-30: The Kids Aren’t Alright

Marlena, Big Little Lies, The Money Shot by Julie Buntin, Liane Moriarty, Stuart Woods

by Leave a Comment

Episode 1-30: The Kids Aren’t Alright Wherein I review: 116. Marlena by Julie Buntin 117. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty 118. The Money Shot (Teddy Fay #2) by Stuart Woods Kids are the f–king worst!  Marlena reads like an AA confessional, part ghost story, that really has no third act.  Big Little Lies gave me the chance to read a novel that has been turned into a television show where I know one of the actors.  Weird, but fun, especially since the original is Australian, so now I’m picturing him talking in an Aussie accent.  And Stuart Woods branches off […]

Episode 1-29: What the F–k Did I Just Read?

Episode 1-29: What The Fuck Did I Just Read? Wherein I review: 111. A Highly Unlikely Scenario, or a Neetsa Pizza Employee’s Guide to Saving the World by Rachel Cantor 112. Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan 113. The Fold by Peter Clines 114. High-Rise by J.G. Ballard 115. Turbulence (Stone Barrington #46) by Stuart Woods Sometimes your little brain needs to get fried.  This was a combo platter of what the f–kery.  I enjoyed Robin Sloan’s wonderous cult of personality, and Peter Clines’ Lost-esque pseudo-sequel to 14.  Didn’t so much love High-Rise which felt like a nasty essay and […]

What would you do if you found a bag of money?

Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman

by Leave a Comment

A great read despite a few flaws. This book follows a couple as they go on their honeymoon and find a bag full of money. What do they do? What would you do? Turn it in or keep it for yourself?? This book follows the couple through their daily lives and challenges and how that is impacted with the discovery of the bag of money. The pros to this story for me involved a few things. Firstly, great characters being introduced into the novel (through Erin’s documentary involving criminals about to be released), which constantly had me wondering if and […]
