Blade by Wendy Walker

March 21, 2026 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I was today years old when I realized that I could put a meme of a cat ice skating on a human’s body as my featured image. I’ve been CBR’ing since like CBR 6 and I’ve always been a good girl and put the book cover out front. Not today though, because I’m a rebel! As cute as that ice skating man cat is though, Blade is about murder (dun dun dun!).  Ana was a future / almost Olympic skater at an elite training school […]

A Back-and-Forth Mystery with an Interesting Buildup that Didn’t Stick the Landing

The Night Before by Wendy Walker

August 20, 2020 by Lisa Bee Leave a Comment

What we have here is a novel about how our relationships can shape us and the personal stories that we form about ourselves, often based on the perceptions and actions of others towards us. But more than anything else, it feels like a novel about a woman being gaslit in so many ways, to reinforce certain narratives about her character that she then can’t help but believe. The Night Before is told from two different perspectives. One is from the point of view of Laura, […]

I signed up for a free trial of Kindle Unlimited, which I’m mostly enjoying. I also have a subscription to Libby through my library. These freebies add up to me listening to a LOT of “thrillers”, most of which aren’t terribly thrilling. Yet I keep downloading them, because sometimes they’re amazing (The Butterfly Collector! Burying the Honey Suckle Girls!). But mostly they fall right in that 3 star range that’s so hard to review. I’m only 21 reviews behind right now and determined not to […]

What would you do to protect your child?

All Is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker

March 8, 2019 by jomidi Leave a Comment

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book.  I don’t read lots of these psychological thrillers.  However, this one surprised me.  It is well written and nuanced, lots of layers that unfold.  The story is about a 15 year old girl who is raped and receives a drug to erase her memories of the trauma, an interesting premise.  The story is told by the psychologist who is treating her to help her remember enough to get past the trauma. But that isn’t the real story, […]
