Though she's been writing for a long time, I only came across Kelley Armstrong when I received an ARC for A Rip Through Time last year—and though I don't usually read mysteries, I powered through it and loved it. I told myself I wanted to read more of her stuff, especially standalones, so when I … Continue reading Book Review: Someone Is Always Watching
This is the second book that I chose for the October Amazon First Reads. I rarely read books that I haven't had on my TBR list for years, that weren't recommended to me or that I haven't scrutinized through NetGalley before deciding whether I wanted to read them. I thought a good twisty murder mystery-type … Continue reading Book Review: Over Her Dead Body
If you read this blog regularly, you'll think I'm in a million book clubs based on how I start these intros, but I promise you that I'm only in two. The Night Shift was one group's pick for March, and though I couldn't get my hands on a copy until now, I still wanted to … Continue reading Book Review: The Night Shift
I don't read a lot of mystery or detective stories—and after I read a good one I'm always wondering why that is because I generally enjoy them. The same goes for historical fiction. When I came across the description for A Rip Through Time (actually, let's face it, it was actually the beautiful cover that … Continue reading Book Review: A Rip Through Time

I had stopped reading whodunnits and murder mysteries because I was … Continue reading Book Review: The Guest List
I don't really too many thrilling or suspenseful novels anymore. I went through a phase around the time of Gone Girl (you know, with everyone else) where I read a lot of them, but I seem to prefer lighter reads these days, or things that are more heartwarming, which could just be because of the … Continue reading Book Review: Lost You
One of my friends has been on a book-reading binge, and she gave me a stack of books to read from her stash. The Perfect Girlfriend by Karen Hamilton was one of them, though she did give me the disclaimer that it was a little problematic, but enjoyable. I haven't read the book or seen … Continue reading Book Review: The Perfect Girlfriend
I'm not going to lie, I haven't picked up a book in the mystery/thriller/whodunnit genre for a while. I read The Girl on the Train and The Woman in the Window around the same time (and we all know Gone Girl is still playing a role in pop culture these days), and I was just finding the genre to be … Continue reading Book Review: The Perfect Alibi
