Bitter Falls (Stillhouse Lake Book #4) by Rachel Caine

January 23, 2020 by Melina Leave a Comment

I am a sucker for a series with a strong, capable woman.  Add the fact that she’s a mom on a mission? I’m alway sold.  I’m easy…always have been.  To catch you up, the Stillhouse Lake series is about a woman, Gina Royal, who comes home to find out that her husband was a serial killer and that he had been killing people under her nose for years (in a sound proof hobby room in the garage).  People did not believe that she wasn’t aiding […]

Such a Perfect Wife by Kate White

January 15, 2020 by Melina Leave a Comment

        Such a Perfect Wife is about the abduction and murder of Shannon Blaine…and then it isn’t…at all. True Crime writer Bailey Weggins comes to Lake George to write about the unfolding mystery of the disappearance and possible death of Shannon Blaine, 34, gorgeous, wife, mother, and physically fit runner. She disappears while running, which is why I don’t run. I kid, I kid. I don’t run because I ran so much in high school sports my knees are shot. And no, […]

All Girls Summer Camp? Sounds like a bad idea to me

The Last Time I Lied: A Novel by Riley Sager

January 13, 2020 by Melina Leave a Comment

15 years ago, Emma went to summer camp for the very first time.  Being late to arrive, the 13 year old was placed with three girls who were older and were friends already.  There was the queen bee, Vivian, bitchy when she wanted to be, always adventurous and determined.  Natalie and Allison played the role of the queen’s attendents, doing whatever Vivian told them to do. Emma?  Emma just idolized Vivian.  Having been at the camp only two weeks and falling in line with the […]

It’s Basically a Hallmark Movie…and I Was OK with That

Small Town Rumors by Carolyn Brown

January 13, 2020 by Melina Leave a Comment

CW: Stillbirth Small Town Rumors is about exactly that…our main character Jennie Sue returns from New York to her hometown in Texas after her husband leaves her for another woman and attempting to evade the FBI because of the diamond trade? I’m not totally sure on that one…but just know, he’s an awful human being, who gets no development other than he’s terrible.  Jennie Sue’s mother only sees a woman who hasn’t been keeping up with her hair, nails and weight and actively harasses her […]

What Lies Beneath?

The Deep: A Novel of Terror Beneath the Sea by Michaelbrent Collings

January 7, 2020 by Melina Leave a Comment

There was a time, starting at the age of 14/15 where I was a scuba diver.  I’d still be one, but children, money and vacation time all get in the way when you’re an adult.  But having been a diver, I feel like this book holds a particularly chilling place in my heart.  So first, I have to ask you, do you like horror?  Oh you do? Excellent! This book is for you!  How about The Thing (it happens to be my favorite movie)?YOU DO? TWINSIES!!! […]

  • narfna on And now, jump back hundreds and hundreds of years…#BlameMalin on this one for me, too, because she literally sent me a copy.
  • narfna on “And that very same evening—that very same evening—Lord Edgware dies. Good title that, by the way. Lord Edgware Dies. Look well on a book stall.”That's gotta be the new headcanon.
  • drmllz on “And that very same evening—that very same evening—Lord Edgware dies. Good title that, by the way. Lord Edgware Dies. Look well on a book stall.”I like to think the wife packs Hastings off to England to hang out with Poirot and enjoys having a whole ranch to herself...
