I received this book from the lovely Katie for our holiday book exchange. It’s been on my list for awhile but I  hadn’t gotten around to it.  Until yesterday.  Yesterday I sat and read the entire book, it’s a very fun read…which seems like a weird thing to say if you found out that your beloved sister is a 5’2″ gorgeous dynamo of a serial killer, possessing a very large knife to commit her crimes.  Luckily for Ayoola (the serial killer), her older less attractive […]

Yet another book for the people who enjoyed Gone Girl and Girl on A Train.  I am actually far over seeking books out that say this on the cover because I’ve been burned. And also? Gone Girl was fun because it was new and different. It was fun deciding if I wanted to root for evil…but now? Old hat, I’ve read thousands of books for fans of GG and GoAT…none of them really seemed anything like that.  This is no exception, but I’m happy to […]

  The show Scooby Doo holds a very special place in my heart in all of its iterations because I love it just that much. Fun fact, I saw that there was going to be a Scooby Doo/Supernatural crossover show and having watched no Supernatural at all, I watched 13 straight seasons so I could know what was going on.  The joke was on me, because I didn’t know that there were stand alone episodes and that Scoobynatural was one of them.  It’s fine, I fell […]

  Nina Browning has everything. She lives in a house that cost over 4 million dollars, a handsome and extremely successful husband, a son who was recently accepted into Princeton and she gets to spend most of her nights going to charity galas and “making a difference” in the ritzy part of Nashville’s scene.  While at one of these galas, Nina’s life is completely upended when she’s shown a photo that her son supposedly shared from a party.  This makes her take a hard look […]
