What you would expect from dark academia smut; it often times read very juvenile. I started to get engaged with the mystery but then felt it was rushed at the end.
Book 32 of 2025

Loved the follow up but felt there could have been more 🪢🪢 hehe. #aardvark
Book 31 of 2025

I‘ve read another book with a similar concept, but this book did the locked room horror house very right. Revenge plots and a heroine (or is she) and who finds her voice. Very good end to spooky season.
Book #30 of 2025

This was a wild, short ride. Going to last with me for a while and I wish it wouldn‘t lol. That‘s not to say this wasn‘t good, just very disturbing.

Lived up to every expectation. I love Brynne Weaver and now I‘m just anxiously awaiting book 2 so I can visit Cape Carnage again. This was her best yet!
Book 28 of 2024

This was so utterly pretentious, I slogged through but overall just not a good horror story for me. Kicking off spooky season in all the wrong ways.
Book 27 of 2025

I love Rachel Harrison horror so full disclosure before I pronounce my love and high praises for this horror that examines how women‘s experiences are often not believed. Definitely recommend for spooky season. #botm

We are starting to feel settled after moving so I was finally able to finish a book. I really enjoyed this true crime that touched upon podcasting and great journalism helping those wrongfully accused. Had a great ending too! #botm

I really enjoy this series; good spice and funny characters. This one had a figure skater, woo hoo. ⛸️
Book 24 of 2025

Super cute and fun hockey romance. 🏒
Book 23 of 2025

Went in to this one not knowing it was a spicy thriller. Enjoyed that aspect and then…that ending. #aardvark
Book 22 of 2025

So goooooood.
Book 21 of 2025

This is probably my favorite of Riley Sager‘s. Reminds me of the first Agatha Christie I read “And Then There Were None”.
Book #20 of 2025

Richard Osman is a must read author for me. I absolutely fall in love with his cast of characters every single time, even the bad guys! This is a new standalone novel but I‘m hopeful for a book 2.
Book 19 of 2025

I love Ali Hazelwood books. Took too long to get to the spice but it was good when we got there. My only complaint was the age gap infantilizing got a bit (ahem) old.
Book 18 of 2025

This book was incredible. Multiple POVs exploring how trauma can shape a family for generations to come. Loved the mystery aspects and it kept me guessing to the very end. #botm
Book 17 of 2025

An enjoyable romance, just wish it had been a little more 🌶️ #aardvark
Book 16 of 2025

Still in a bit of a 📖 slump; but this horror novel about an arcade game that can heighten your aggression hooked me. Liked it all, couldn‘t wait to pick it up and read more and would absolutely read another novel by this author.
Book 15 of 2025

A very good addition to the Tuva Moodyson series. This is a must read series and author for me.
Book 14 of 2025

This paranormal romance fell flat for me.
Book 13 of 2025

There seems to be a mix of reviews on this one, and it is definitely not for the faint of heart but I enjoyed it! Looking forward to Nov and book 2! 🐍🤴❤️
After a month of feeling sick hopefully this is a sign my reading slump is over.
Book 12 of 2025

This was a fun locked room mystery, I felt it got mired in “how to be a writer”; I know, I know that was that point. Just not my favorite thing. I‘ve been struggling to read as the flu moved through my family. Hope this kicks off a reading spree. #aardvark
PS my puppy ate my cover!!!

Loved the conclusion to this trilogy. This was my favorite couple yet!
Book 9 of 2025

Really enjoyed this Scottish curse breaking romance. Will definitely read more by the author.
Book 8 of 2025

I typically really like Chizmar‘s books but this one fell a little flat for me. Maybe it‘s just because I‘ve read some really strong books lately. Maybe it‘s because I didn‘t love the ending. I honestly don‘t know! #aardvark
Book 7 of 2025

Started out slow and finished strong for me. I just don‘t know how I feel about waiting so long in between these books; I forget too much!
Book 6 of 2025

Grady Hendrix is my can‘t miss horror writer for a reason and this book didn‘t disappoint. How he tackled topics like homes for pregnant girls, misogyny, women‘s power was impeccably done. I just love his writing and will continue to be a faithful fan.

Well that was something else. What an odd ending…a crazy, twisty thriller. The parts of this I didn‘t like were the parts I perceived as man hating. I just don‘t like when one sex or the other is villainized or generalized...it‘s derivative. #botm
Book 5 of 2025

This may be my favorite book of 2025 and I know it just started. This pulled me right back in to my competitive skating days. So compelling and ultimately an amazing ending. #botm

This was such a unique romance. I loved it and can‘t wait for book 2. #botm
Book 3 of 2025

Book 2 of 2025

This was an incredibly moving mystery. Loved how it highlighted women‘s movement into becoming more than a wife; and it‘s those women who are the ultimate heroes of this tale that spans generations. #botm
Book 1 of 2025

Loved this! Romantasy at its finest and can see why people get so hyped about this. Took this photo in front of the new bookshelf my husband refurbished for me. It‘s so beautiful.
Book 87 of 2024

I enjoyed this but I think with all the holiday happenings I finished feeling like I didn‘t love it as much as her Fake Mate. Hoping she continues on with cryptid romance!
Book 86 of 2024

A great conclusion to this story. The epilogue makes it seem like there may be another story coming from these characters which I would happily read. Loved the setting, the MC and Whit, and the adventure! #owlcrate
Book 85 of 2024

This was such a good romance/mystery. The mash up of my dreams. #botm
Book 84 of 2024

I'm giving this 4 stars because I enjoyed this thriller but I had a few frustrations as I read.
For one, I could put this book down and not be drawn to it. Second, I got really tired of the women's identities being found in their relationships with men. I get that was probably the point! Overall good twists and turns.
Thanks to NetGalley and Atria for an ARC in return for my honest review.
Book 83 of 2024

This was my favorite of the series. Time traveling and adventures that lead to a great conclusion.
Book 82 of 2024

This was so incredibly good; a unique and creepy story that at its heart is about friendship and how our friendships can help us navigate our lives.
Plus an incredibly unique way to depict how homes absorb our stories. I recommend this book wholeheartedly and know it will stick with me.
Thanks to NetGalley and Del Rey for this
ARC in return for my honest review.
Book 81 of 2024
##chuckwendig #delrey #netgalley

Loved the conclusion of the series, now I need to read the novellas to see where they all end up! Glad to see the way they handled the pregnancy in this book; not too Pollyanna.
Book 80 of 2024

Definitely my favorite of the series, there was a twist I didn‘t see coming the plucks the heartstring.
Book 79 of 2024

Book 2 was just as fun; on to book 3!
Book 78 of 2024

Sigh….these hockey romances have me in a chokehold. Just the kind of year end fun I‘m looking for.
Book 77 of 2024

I thought this was so much fun! I‘m in to the hockey romance, sign me up for more!
Book 76 of 2024

My ex-figure skater, Cutting Edge loving heart gobbled this romance up. Looking forward to the next book in the series as I really liked those two characters and I‘m excited to read their story.
Book 75 of 2024

I finished the omnibus and loved every page. I was fully invested in these character‘s arc and so happy with the conclusion. Wished it hadn‘t ended. Fully recommend the series and just look at this special edition from the author‘s store.
Book 74 of 2024

Much better spice levels in this one. Fully invested in these characters and their journey.
Book 73 of 2024

Clearly very into these books. On to book 3! Hoping for more spice 🦝🌶️
Book 72 of 2024

I bought a special omnibus edition of this series which I‘ll show once I‘m done the series. For now, book 1 was a great intro to this world with a pet 🦝 ! I‘m in and ready to start book 2.
Book 71 of 2024

I always love re-visiting this series. This one was focused on domestic terrorism and how Gamache and his team can stop them. I feel like I‘m visiting with friends when I read these books. Can‘t wait for the next one.
Book 70 of 2024
