“She’d been seeing things through men’s eyes for years. Her entire career, men had informed her what was good and what wasn’t. And she’d always assumed they were right.”

The Change by Kirsten Miller

April 18, 2023 by ardaigle 1 Comment

I had been in a bit of a reading slump lately, i.e., it had been a minute since I had a slam dunk, a can’t-put-down book that was going to make me shout about it to innocent bystanders. I asked my reading peeps for something that would fill this void and my friend delivered on all cylinders. I’M EXCITED TO SHOUT ABOUT THIS BOOK AT YOU. I loved it 5000. This book is tasty and scrumptious. A true chef’s kiss of literary perfection: a well-written […]

A creepy little short story

The Line Unseen by Joe Hart

December 30, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Boy was this a short book! I’m not really sure that I fully remember what happened in this book. I do remember being fully creeped out though. I’ve read at least one or two Joe Hart books in the past, and they’ve been mostly zombie related. This one was a little different, but it did involve an element of the supernatural / fictional creature. This is basically the story of a guy who finds out his wife is cheating on him, and tries to do […]

Twisty, revengy, and a quick read

The Collective by Alison Gaylin

November 26, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

Wow this book. I think I read it in three days, and that’s just reading at night before I went to bed. I know I stayed up until midnight a few nights because I couldn’t stop reading this. My best friend recommended it to me a while ago, and I just recently borrowed the ebook from the library. It’s a pretty satisfying premise. The main character Camille is still grieving her daughter five years after she died. A local college student was tried and acquitted […]

Revenge is a dish served up by witches

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

February 16, 2022 by Mikki Blu 2 Comments

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The L Word in this fresh, sizzling rom-com by Lana Harper.” This book is a blend of a lot of different elements – it’s paranormal, mixed with payback on a cheating ex boyfriend, a dash of Harry Potteresque wizard tournament and sizzle of a new lesbian romance.  The main character, Emmy Harlow, is a witch but because she left her home town after high school, her powers are diminished.  You see, her home town of Thistle Grove is a place […]

Kindle cover of Reckless Girls

And then there were none – or were there?

Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

February 1, 2022 by Dinah Lord Leave a Comment

Lux and her boyfriend Nico are eking out a poorly-paid, uncomfortable living on Maui after their dream of sailing Nico’s boat, Susannah, across the Pacific was smashed due to damage to the boat which they still can’t afford to put right. The situation is rendered more irritating to Lux since Nico’s family is rich, and if he applied for help from them, the boat could be fixed, and they’d be free to travel. Instead, and after Lux is fired from her room cleaning job at […]

An extremely good book. Understatement. #CBRBINGO – Landscape

Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby

October 29, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

😭😭😭😭😭 Above was my reaction upon finishing this book, which worked its dark magics upon me until my emotions did exactly what it wanted me to do at all times. More on this later. This book also has, I think, the best last line in a novel I’ve read all year. Maybe several years. This book is propulsive and hard to put down. I gave myself almost three days to read it and I read it in half a day. S.A. Cosby, of whom I […]
