Sometimes, when I have been waiting for a long time to read a book, I forget what got me interested in it in the first place. That’s exactly what happened with this novel: I had so much else going on what with finals season and applications that I completely forgot about this novel. And when I got my hands on…
Mystery/Thriller
The Missing Hours by Emma Kavanagh
This novel was a top priority for me because it is an advanced copy that is being released TOMORROW. Yes, you heard me, TOMORROW! And I will let you know right now that this book was quite fantastic and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new crime fiction novel! When DC Leah Mackay is sent to…
The Silent Twin by Caroline Mitchell
In all honesty, this was one of the books I was most excited to read as an advanced copy. Its premise was just too irresistible for me because it had all of my favorite ideas in one place (*hint, hint, I’ve mentioned it previously in other posts so maybe you already have an idea of what it entails*)! It has…
City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett (Divine Cities Book #1)
Originally, I was given the sequel of this book to read as an advanced copy, without having known at all that it was part of a series. It became quite clear to me after the first few pages that I was missing something. A quick search on Google showed me that I had completely missed the first novel so I…
The Watcher in the Wall by Owen Laukkanen
Remember how I always say that I have to read the first books in the series before I read another? Well, I broke that rule with this novel! I read the premise for it and just found it to be too good to ignore. I didn’t want to wait until I had gotten the first book so I decided to…
Sweet Lamb of Heaven by Lydia Millet
As you may have noticed, I have been getting quite a few books from publishers to read as advance copies. I now have A TON of books to get through in a very short period of time. It’s getting a bit hectic what with school and exams and deadlines for these novels but I promise to get through them as…
The Widow by Fiona Barton
Sometimes, the public library can be the absolute best thing in the world. I had this novel on my Holds list and I knew I wasn’t due to read this novel for a long time. But as I was walking through my public library, with no intention of borrowing anything, I suddenly saw it on the shelf. No one was…
Don’t You Cry by Mary Kubica
I had the opportunity to read this book before its release and give my feedback about it. I am so grateful for this chance, especially since I always feel like I’m the last person to read the up-and-coming books! What makes me even MORE happy is that I’ve read Mary Kubica’s work before and I really really REALLY love her…
The Guest Room by Chris Bohjalian
A good friend of mine recently pointed out that all I ever read are the newest novels. He said that I’m always looking on the bestseller list for new books to read and review about. And he’s right. I like to read whatever is most current, not only because I find that most of the novels are to my taste…
Corrupted by Lisa Scottoline
I’ve been reading a lot of mysteries and thrillers lately and this novel is no exception. But I will admit that I’ve become a bit disenchanted with the genre; after a while, all of the books start to sound the same. Trying to find a unique novel can sometimes be very difficult as you start to notice archetypal characters popping…
