A good entry point, but less good continuation

The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware

by Leave a Comment

Hal Westaway is working as a tarot reader on the West Pier in Brighton Beach, doing what she can to scrape by. But just because it’s winter and off-season doesn’t mean the loan shark she borrowed a paltry sum from a few months ago stops sending notices. So when she gets a letter informing her of her grandmother’s death and her place in the will, Hal has a choice to make. Of course, she knows that her grandparents have been dead for years, and the […]

Ugh, poisoning is SO last season

#FashionVictim by Amina Akhtar

by 1 Comment

Anya St. Clair is, like so many others in the fashion industry, incredibly stressed out. Her boss keeps telling her to lose weight, even though she’s only a size 6, an internet troll keeps commenting on all her blog posts, and her work BFF keeps saying “we’re not friends” “you’re a sad pathetic loser” “write all my articles for me”, whatever that means. Sarah’s so funny. Between green juice cleanses and putting together photoshoots, Anya has to figure out how to beat Sarah out for […]

Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee

Hornet Flight by Ken Follett

Ken Follett is an author that I always enjoy. His novels are always highly detailed glimpses into a piece of the past. They usually feature smart, kick ass women. Hornet Flight is no different.

The British are suffering staggering losses in their bombing campaign against the Nazis. They can’t figure out why. The Danish have surrendered without a fight to […]

Messin’ with Squatch

Devolution by Max Brooks

I loved World War Z. While the movie was fine, it was not the book that I read and loved. This is a much darker, more horror version that focuses a grisly Bigfoot massacre in Washington state. The audiobook is read by an outstanding cast led by Judy Greer as the protagonist. It follows the same style as World War Z in that it is a collection of journal entries interspersed with news stories and interviews. The main difference between this book and WWZ is […]
