pickIt's not a hard core thriller that I usually read, but it has just the right amount of mystery in it to keep you interested. 90% of the story was predictable but there was a huge plot twist in the end which I think made up for the 90% predictable part. Very good. I give this 5⭐s. Highly recommend 👌
pickThis story gave me butterflies. My heart fluttered as I read. Many would classify this as romance, but I think it‘s more than that. The character‘s connection wasn‘t about intimacy and passion. They had a deep, selfless devotion to each other. The relationship between the main characters was soul-stirring; I was so invested in their journey. It was beautifully written. This series lived up to the hype. I will forever cherish this. 5⭐s
pickI was sad to complete this series. It had a little bit of everything as I listed up on the image. The plot was richly complex and contained layers of subplots within the story‘s events and character‘s actions. As the multilayered of mysteries began to unravel, I had to start taking notes and use page markers to keep up with the complexities of the plot. Overall, I give this series 4.5 stars for being thought-provoking and compelling.
A university professor murdering predatory men?! Very intriguing but blurs the line of moral revenge killing. Nevertheless, I found myself rooting for the women as I was reading this. Great plot twists but the ending was somewhat predictable and unrealistic. 4⭐s
pickThis was a perfect gothic story for the October season. It weaves together elements of Jack the Ripper, Mary Reilly (movie), Jane Eyre, and Frankenstein. It was such a good story; I flew through the whole book in one day. I wished it was longer.

pickBeauty and the Beast with Howl's Moving Castle vibes. It was a compelling and enjoyable read. I devoured it in one day.

pickSuch a fun paranormal romcom with a sunshiny protective vampire mmc and a grumpy human detective. The story was charming and filled with cuteness. The characters were undeniably loveable; I loved Zavier‘s endearing quirks and the characters‘ witty dialogue. It was a pleasure reading this. It was highly entertaining and fast paced.

pickA blend of the Time Traveler‘s Wife by Niffenegger, the Terminator movie (solely on the element of the timeline overlapping), and the Rose Garden by Kearsley. A story with rich depth, ambiguity, and masterfully tapestry of genres/subgenres including historical fiction, science fiction, time travel, mystery, magical realism, murder, and romance. I am flabbergasted by how the author weaved a complex web of themes and genres into one beautiful story.
pickA retelling of the East of the Sun and West of the Moon fairy tale. Charming, enchanting, and filled with adventures. Has a mixed vibe of Beauty and the Beast and Narnia.

pickI am always pleased to read Schwab stories. She is a very gifted writer. She crafts vivid imaginative worlds with complex plots and supernatural or paranormal elements that permit her readers to flee into a realm beyond reality.

pickRelished the complexity and the richness of both the story and the characters. I was completely immersed in the narrative, feeling every emotion alongside the characters. It was written beautifully. The conflict, tension, and dialogue were a page-turner and I was compelled to read it in one day. The nail-biting suspense of the last 50 pages had me on the edge of my seat.

pickThe best love story I've read. Sheridan masterfully created complex characters that emotionally conveyed the characters' journey through their internal struggles and vulnerabilities. Archer and Bree are unforgettable. Their spellbinding and heart-warming love story will stay with me forever.

pickSweet, tender, and soul-stirring. It moved me to read about characters who could truly see and understand each other in a deeper level. Made me root for both characters. Lots of quotes that will warm your heart and fill you with positivity. Emotionally rewarding to read.

pickI loved this. Some aspects of it reminded me of the 1990s movie Casper. I enjoyed the story very much. Narrated very well. The main female character irked me in the beginning but when she smartened up I was relieved. I adored her friends, the 80s era, the music, the history, and of course the love story. Beware, this ends on a cliffhanger.

pickGood solid story about first love, mental illness, family, small town, bullying, and racism. The mystery about what's happening at that creepy house pretty much what pulled me in and with the added local tragedy mystery, completely engrossed all my attention.

pickWow. It's not a very long story but it gives a punch in the heart. It's pretty powerful.
If only in reality, victims of sex slavery could all be given the same hopeful ending.
pickGreat ghost story. Great mystery. Gave me goosebumps! Loved the interconnection between the two mysteries and the past and present time. Towards the end I had my suspicion on who the antagonist was. Overall the story showed complexity and depth.
