My Review: Meh… But The Ending Was Decent The Pros: What worked for me The story moves at a fast pace so there really isn’t much of a dull moment I liked how the author stuck to her guns when it came to the ending; it made this story stand out from the rest. The Cons: What I didn’t like…

Review: After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill
My Review: An Unexpected But Brilliant Read Calling this the most unique novel I’ve ever read would be the understatement of a century. I went into this novel thinking that the concept was cool – two different writers are … writing about … each other… I had to read it. I’m so glad I did. The Pros: What worked for…
Review: Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
So … I have a confession to make. Sometimes, after I request an ARC and receive it, I take a long time to read the book (tha’s not the confession, by the way). By the time I get to actually reading it, I’ve forgotten the synopsis. Now I’m just jumping into it blind and hoping for the best! With this…
Review: The Wives by Tarryn Fisher
My Review: What a disappointment This book was supposed to be everything! With the premise hinting at polyamory, how could I not want to read this book?! But what started off as a really cool story eventually gave in to the same cliched tropes as many other thrillers. The Pros: What worked for me From beginning to end, this story…
Review: The Apartment by K.L. Slater
When I read the premise of this novel, it immediately reminded me of a previous book I had read. After racking my brain and trawling through Goodreads, it came to me: the premise was similar to that of Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. While that book had not been the greatest, I hoped that this novel would be more…
Review: The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
After loving Final Girls, I was very excited to read the latest book by this author! My Review This novel has a very different vibe to the Final Girls, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing … but I enjoyed the latter to this one. The Pros: What worked for me The author stayed true to their writing style, keeping it…
Review: Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
Riley Sager has been an author whose work has either been a hit or a miss for me. I absolutely adored Final Girls but found Last Time I Lied to be lacking. Nevertheless, I was excited to see what new story he would come up with, as the premise of all of his novels has always been extremely unique! My…
Review: The Good Liar by Catherine McKenzie
My Review As much as I wanted to love this book, sadly, I just didn’t. And I think a lot of it has to do with the approach the author took for writing this story. The Pros: What worked for me I really like that the story featured 3 very distinct female characters. Usually, I find that most authors create…
Review: Codename Villanelle by Luke Jennings – Killing Eve #1
I was drawn to this novel because of the hit new TV show Killing Eve. I saw a trailer for the show ages ago and immediately knew I wanted to watch it – it looked so cool and featured some very strong female actresses! Now … I still haven’t gotten around to watching it because … life is busy and my…
Review: Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
Lisa Jewell is an author whose work can be a hit or a miss with me. But when I read the premise of this novel, I knew I had to read it. It was just so unusual and I could tell it would give me the tension and thrill I was seeking. So here is how my experience went: My…
