On A Quiet Street
On a Quiet Street by Seraphina Nova Glass My rating: 5 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Graydon House, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of On A Quiet Street in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist Oh, how I love Glass’ writing. I have to confess, though, that I had some difficulty getting through this book. It had nothing to do with the quality of the writing, but more so with the fact that there are a few triggers that kept sending me into bouts of panic and anxiety attacks. It is a shame, since I truly enjoyed the…

Never Coming Home
Never Coming Home by Hannah Mary McKinnon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, MIRA Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Never Coming Home in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist This is the third book I have read by McKinnon and even though they are all equally entertaining, Never Coming Home really blew it out of the park. Plainly stated, this is McKinnon’s best story yet. The Details Alright, we have an unreliable narrator, who is the only voice we hear throughout the entire story. Everything that is being said or done is seen through…

The Lying Club
The Lying Club: A Novel by Annie Ward My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Park Row, for providing me with an ARC of The Lying Club in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist Well, where shall I start with this one? It’s been a heck of a week, which isn’t anything new. Yet, it still makes for a rather grumpy mood and I’m wondering if that has influenced my perception of The Lying Club. Anyone, who has read at least a few reviews of mine, would know that I love murder mystery stories. Having to deal with a cold…

Tell No Lies
Tell No Lies by Allison Brennan My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Mira Books, for providing me with an ARC of Tell No Lies in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I love murder mysteries. I mean, give me murder, intrigue, shifty characters, atmosphere and a good setting and I’m all yours. It relaxes me; I feel comforted. It’s weird, I know, but murder mystery stories are incredibly soothing for me. When I read the synopsis of Tell No Lies I thought that this could be a great way to forget about certain very stressful points in life right…

Danger in Numbers
Danger in Numbers by Heather Graham My rating: 1 of 5 stars Danger in Numbers. Thank you to the publisher, Mira Books, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I have been on a little book review hiatus. And the first review I get to write has me staring at my trusted little laptop screen. I don’t know what to say. Well, I do know what to say, I just don’t know how to say it without sounding like a complete jerk. What the heck?! Here it goes: I thought this was really not that good. Wow! Can…

Wrong Alibi
Wrong Alibi by Christina Dodd My rating: 5 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, HQN Books, for providing me with an ARC of Wrong Alibi in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist It was news to me that between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day there are only 6 days. That meant I almost missed my deadline of writing the review of Wrong Alibi. In all seriousness, I have always struggled with the days between Christmas and New Years, thinking there are weeks, not days, between those two holidays. Needless to say, my organization got a little chaotic and I ended up…

The Last to See Her
The Last to See Her by Courtney Evan Tate My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Mira, for providing me with an ARC of The Last to See Her in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I have to confess I don’t know how to write this review. How do I start and what should I write? What little anecdote should I include before getting to the details? I never had the pleasure of reading any of the author’s other works, so I didn’t know what to expect. The synopsis sounded intriguing and I sure could have used another distraction…

Confessions on the 7:45
Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Park Row, for providing me with an ARC of Confessions on the 7:45 in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I have seen promotions for Confessions on the 7:45 quite a bit during the last month or so on various social media outlets. I’m always excited when I get to read an ARC that gets some publicity. Call it a bit of pride. On my wall calendar I noted all the book reviews that are part of the Fall Reads Blog Tour and the closer we…

Earthbound Bones
Earthbound Bones by ReGina Welling My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thank you NetGalley and Willow Hill Books for providing me with an ARC of Earthbound Bones in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I already had this entire review mapped out when I decided to double check a fact before giving my two-cents’ worth. It turns out that this new series by the author is a spin-off her previous series called Psychic Seasons. To most readers, who are familiar with Welling’s work this isn’t really news, but I think it’s important to point out to anyone interested in this new series Earthbound, familiarity…
