Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn

I really liked the plot of the story. It reminded me if Charlie’s Angels retired. I could definitely see this book being made into a movie! It was a fun read. I did recommend this book to a few people already. The writing style was a little bland. I did not like the humor in …

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

Colleen Hoover always seems like she sucks you right into the story. I read this book in about 2 days! This book was so easy to read. Colleen’s words just flow on the page. The characters were so likable. But the relationships were all problematic. But I kind of like that about Colleen’s books. They …

Review of “Heart Bones” by Colleen Hoover

I really enjoyed this novel. As with any Colleen Hoover book, I read it in 2 days. I really thought it flowed nicely. This was not my favorite Hoover novel, though. It is the same as some of her other novels. Two people fall in love but cannot entirely as one is harboring a secret …

Review of “Ugly Love” by Colleen Hoover

I read this book in 2 days. I really enjoyed reading it. I think the writing just flowed perfectly. The characters were very interesting and complex. This book is very spicy. I am not a spicy romance fan. But between the spice, this book has a lot more to offer. Every chapter had a sex …

“Home Again” by Kristin Hannah

This book was so predictable but also good. Kristin Hannah still was able to spin a great story regardless of me being able to predict every chapter. I read this book rather quickly. I decided to rate this book with a 3-star review. This book was too predictable and cheesy to rate it anything but …

“Acts of Violet” Margarita Montimore

I am giving this book a 4.5-star review. This book was wonderful! The only reason why I rated it lower was due to the ending. With all that build-up, I was expecting the ending to be a lot longer or fantastic like Violet’s life. I was going to give this book a 5-star review until …

The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark

This book was very good. The writing was excellent. I really enjoyed her other novel “The Last Flight” as well.  I had a hard time putting this book down! It was a bit predictable though but still enjoyable. It was definitely a slow burn. This book has two perspectives: Kat and Meg (basically the cat …

Review of “The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

What a unique plot. I do not usually read books like this. I am not a supernatural fan. I picked it up because it was more in-depth than just seeing ghosts. This book dealt with topics about family, grief, love, and moving forward. I really enjoyed reading it. I really liked the characters in the …

Review of “Once There Were Wolves” by Charlotte McConaghy

I really enjoyed the first half of the book but felt like the last half was very slow. But overall, it was great. It was beautifully written as well. Some of the scenery descriptions were so detailed that I felt like I was there! I have to admit that I was not sure that I …

Review of “The Lioness” by Chris Bohjalian

I really liked the unique plot. I will never read something like this again! It is also a unique setting. It is set in Africa (Serengeti) in the 1960s. In this novel, the land, animals, and people can kill you. I would classify this novel as a Historical fiction thriller. I thought at first that …

Review “This Time Tomorrow” by Emma Straub

I really enjoyed the plot. It was very unique.  It was also beautifully written. I love time travel books too! This time travel was more like 13 Going on 30 than Back to the Future (if you get my drift). She is 40 years old and wakes up being 16 years old again. But her …

Review of “Reminders of Him” by Colleen Hoover

This novel was so good. Colleen Hoover did it again. Her books always make me cry. It sent me through all the emotions for sure! The characters were all just so great. Even the one person that I should have hated, Kenna, I loved. I wish that we would have seen more of the parents. …

Death: Linnet Ridgeway (heiress) Detective: Hercule Poirot Setting: Cruise on the Nile Suspects: husband, husband ex-fiancé, etc. My Thoughts: All of Agatha Christie books seem like the board game clue. A person gets murdered and all the …
