Book Review: Kill Joy by Holly Jackson

Since this was a novella, I will keep this review short. It was wonderful to see one of my favorite detectives, Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi, in this prequel, before she really got to dive deep into the world of small town crime. I had forgotten what Pip was like at the beginning of the series andContinue reading “Book Review: Kill Joy by Holly Jackson”

Book Review: Against the Currant by Olivia Matthews

As the first book in the Spice Isle Bakery series, it was amazing how fast I fell in love with this book. Between her dedication to her family and the little glimpses into who she was before the novel took place, Lyndsay was immediately likable. Furthermore, these glances into her past and who she usedContinue reading “Book Review: Against the Currant by Olivia Matthews”

Book Review: Beauty and the Blade by S.C. Grayson

I’ll be the first to admit that I have spent most of the month of January in a huge reading slump. Audiobooks are the only thing that have gotten me to finish any books at all. It was horrible not finding anything that captured my attention. Until I opened up Beauty and the Blade. I’llContinue reading “Book Review: Beauty and the Blade by S.C. Grayson”

Book Review: The Villa by Rachel Hawkins

I can say with all honesty that The Villa was an atmospheric journey from start to finish. A journey to the Italian countryside in a gorgeous Villa should have brought a sense of peace and relaxation to our main characters. Instead, it brought forward secret desires and dread. On one hand, we have our charactersContinue reading “Book Review: The Villa by Rachel Hawkins”

Book Review: A Collection of Secrets by Brook Peterson

I think at this point, we all know that I am a sucker for a well done setting, and that is usually what seals the deal for me falling in love with a book. Jericho Falls is amazing and of course I continued to fall in love with that beautifully small town.  However, in thisContinue reading “Book Review: A Collection of Secrets by Brook Peterson”

Book Review: Muffin but the Truth by Ellie Alexander

Jumping back into the wonderful world of Ashland and once again seeing some of my favorite comfort characters, was just what I needed. Despite the murders that Juliet always seems to uncover, there is something so comfortable about opening up one of the bakeshop mysteries. From the alluring descriptions of action in the bakeshop itselfContinue reading “Book Review: Muffin but the Truth by Ellie Alexander”

Book Review: Saint by Adrienne Young

After finishing both Fable and Namesake, I was really excited to see more of one of the most interesting characters in the series, Saint. It was one thing to hear bits and pieces about the events that made Saint into the man who would one day become one of the most feared men in theContinue reading “Book Review: Saint by Adrienne Young”

Book Review: Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan

I don’t even know where to begin with this book. The amount of  adventure, and character development that fit between the pages of this book was incredible. Heart of the Sun Warrior took all of my expectations for where I thought the story was going and threw them right out the window. I was repeatedlyContinue reading “Book Review: Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan”

Book Review: The Gray Fortress by Jo Visuri

I am going to start by saying what an honor it was to read this book. The first book in the series, The Undiscovered Descendent, was one of the first ARCs I ever received, so the series has a special place in my heart.  And that place is well earned because this is a lovelyContinue reading “Book Review: The Gray Fortress by Jo Visuri”
