Who Killed Annabelle Cartwright? Or, Surrounded by Narcissists.

The Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen

May 9, 2025 by RouletteGirl Leave a Comment

The media is calling it the Crime of the Decade – Georgia Cartwright, the glamorous eldest daughter of a wealthy South Carolina family, has been accused of murdering her younger sister. Whether it was jealousy – Annabelle was the biological daughter, while Georgia was adopted – or pure insanity is up for debate. But just to be safe, Georgia is being kept in the locked ward of a psychiatric facility while she awaits her trial. Mandy is reading about the crime in the news when […]

The Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen

The Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen

February 10, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Trigger warning: Description of rape I was surprised at how much I didn’t really like this newest offering from Sarah Pekkanen. I think that the dual POVs was the reason why it didn’t work. And the ending was just kind of not finished in my opinion. But this one was a hard one to get into and I just didn’t really find some parts of it realistic. “The […]

Is the kid traumatized or murderous?

House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen

February 5, 2024 by RouletteGirl Leave a Comment

I was excited when I heard about Sarah Pekkanen’s new book House of Glass, since I’d read several of her collaborative novels with Greer Hendricks and found them to be excellent thrillers. I wasn’t sure, at first, how I felt about House of Glass. It took me a few chapters to get into it, and I’m not entirely sure why. But once I did get into it, I was hooked. I read this in a single day, that’s how much I didn’t want to put […]

“Our minds do this all the time. They talk us out of things we don’t want to know.”

Gone Tonight by Sarah Pekkanen

October 19, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the unsolicited audio ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. The blurb makes this one sound really interesting, which is why I accepted the ARC from the publisher. Catherine’s mother Ruth has been newly diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, but some odd incidents lead Catherine to look into her mother’s past—their shared past—and secrets come spilling out not only regarding where her mother came from, but what her mother is doing current day, and even her medical diagnosis. […]

This Anonymous Girl made herself known

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen

July 6, 2023 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I borrowed this book from a coworker a while ago. As I’ve stated previously, I have trouble with actual books. I read the most in my bed in the dark on my Kindle. Real books hurt when they hit you in the face because you fell asleep reading them. I have a feeling I might make some more time to read real books in my new house though. I’m moving in at the end of the month, and this is just one of the many […]

A standard domestic thriller with a premise that doesn’t really deliver.

The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

October 31, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Don’t let the first part of this book fool you. It’s not as fun as those first chapters make you think. I got SUPER into the idea of the rogue therapist, but as the book went on it was less and less about her and her questionable—sometimes illegal—methods, and more just a standard domestic thriller, a genre I don’t read much of anymore, because they always seem to be three star reads for me. And this was a three star read, for sure. After how […]
