Blake Crouch really knows how to write a pulse pounding edge of your seat thriller.

This is my second book by Crouch and it certainly won‘t be the last. This one literally takes off from the very beginning and didn‘t let up until the last page.

I love that I can be so easily transported into the story.

I definitely look forward to more of his novels. Thank you so much to the publisher for a copy via NetGalley!

YA thrillers are usually hit or miss with me. I did enjoy this one but I was expecting more of a jaw dropping twist. It did have me interested enough to keep reading. There were a few times when I thought I knew what was happening but I was wrong. I will read another book by this author because I have heard such good things and I did enjoy this book.

I devoured this book. It had everything I loved; age gap, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine, and found family.

Jamie and Calvin had so much chemistry from the very beginning and it drove me crazy in all the right ways. Both characters had loss and heartbreak in their lives and they really understood each other.

I can‘t wait to read the other books to come.

Thank you so much to the author and Valentine PR for the advance copy of this novel!

I‘ve read a few other books by John Grisham and really enjoyed them and this one was no different. I finished this book in a day because I had to keep reading. I could not put this book down.

I look forward to more in this series because I feel like Bruce and Mercer are nowhere near done with their adventures.

Thank you so much to Doubleday Books for the free copy of this novel!

This was such a cute cozy Christmas read and it definitely gave me all of the cozy vibes. This book had some of my favorite tropes; second chance and only one bed.
This book wasn‘t super spicy like I‘m used to from Piper Rayne but I loved it anyway. It definitely reminded me of a hallmark movie and I was there for all the vibes.

Thank you so much to the authors and Valentine PR for an advance copy of this novel!

I‘ve recently become a fan of Richard Chizmar‘s work and I loved this one. It was eerie and really left me feeling uneasy so many times. I definitely feel like I need a follow up novel after that ending. My jaw dropped so many times and I wanted to throw the book across the room.

4.5 ⭐️

I enjoyed this imagining of the early life of Julia Child. I could definitely have imagined that Julia experienced these things. I really liked the development and blossoming of Paul and Julia‘s relationship. It did take me a bit to get into but once it picked up I enjoyed it.

3.5 ⭐️

This book definitely put me in the Christmas spirit! There wasn‘t anything that I didn‘t like about it.

Nick and Noelle are just couple goals. I could not get enough of their banter and the chemistry between them was off the charts. I loved seeing their relationship develop and grow throughout the book. I just loved everything about them.

Thank you so much to the author for an advance copy of this novel!

This book was just heartbreaking to listen to. There are so many cases of wrongful convictions in our country and it is just disgusting. Our justice system is very flawed and it needs to be better. There were ten cases in this book and just hearing the stories and how the police and judges and the courts could have it so wrong just breaks my heart and quite honestly it makes me angry.

This was another five star read from Freida McFadden. I devoured this book in a day and a half and it was full of twists I never saw coming like a typical Freida book.

4.5 ⭐️

I loved this book! Leah Brewer is a local author to me and this book takes place in my hometown. I loved the mentions of all of the local places and I could picture them in my head because I know exactly what they look like.

This was such a good mystery and I could not put this book down. Tammy is such a badass character and I certainly hope there will be more books featuring her and her investigations.

I devoured this romance novel! Ben and Emerson‘s story is so heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time and I was rooting for them from the beginning.

I really liked that this novel was centered around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday. It definitely put me into the holiday spirit.

Included in this collection are accounts from some of America‘s heroes about their time in war and how they were awarded military medals and recognition.

Thank you so much to Little, Brown, and Co for the advance copy of this book as part of the James Patterson Street Team!

This book reminded me why I love cozy mysteries so much. This is the first in the series and I definitely plan to read the others. I loved the storyline and the characters.

I devoured this audiobook in two sittings. This one was much smuttier than some other books from Piper Rayne and I ate it up. I couldn‘t get enough.

The narrators for the audiobook knocked it out of the park. They really brought life to the characters and they were perfect for the parts.
Thank you so much to the authors and Valentine PR for the advance listening copy!

This book is just absolutely beautiful and I ugly cried for like 30 minutes. Seriously one of my favorite books so far.

This was an excellent collection of poetry from the master of poetry. Margaret Atwood just has a way of writing that speaks to everyone that reads her work.

This collection was split into different time periods in her writing career and each section definitely speaks to someone in particular.

Atwood can definitely evoke so much emotion with her writing. I will certainly be checking out more of her poetry collections.

This is a great book for spooky season. This is a YA horror novel that takes place in a haunted manor and it was a totally thrilling read.

The horror plot line was so good. I‘m a sucker for haunted house novels and this was full of terrifying ghosts and bloodshed.

I definitely plan to read more from this author. Thank you so much to the publisher for an advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

This book was just good the entire time and it had me turning the pages like a crazy person because I needed to find out what was happening. This was a great kickoff to spooky season. This was an excellent thriller. I definitely plan to read more from this author.

This was the story that we needed about Molly the Maid. Molly is one of my favorite characters.

Molly truly has a very important mystery on her hands when she notices that her boyfriend, Juan Manuel, starts acting strange in the days leading up to Christmas. I think Molly is so relatable and so real. This novella was heartwarming and had me crying happy tears.

Thank you so much to the publisher for an advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

In typical Will Dean fashion, this was an absolutely thrilling read. I will read anything that Will Dean writes and this is one of his older novels but just as good! It had me turning the pages and not wanting to put it down. Overall rating is 4.5 ⭐️!

This was such a unique beautifully written book. The entire book is so symbolic and I think each reader can have their own interpretation of what is going on. 4.5 ⭐️

I think this is my favorite Nicholas Sparks book so far. When I finished I cried because this book was just so amazing and so beautifully written.

There were parts that had my heart breaking but then it was put back together. This book is truly about the power of love, hope, and strength. Once I started I could barely put it down.

Thank you so much to the publisher for the advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

I never get tired of reading Chris Carter‘s books. I love the Robert Hunter series. I love Hunter and Garcia as partners. I hope there will be many more books in this series.

This was another 5 star read from James Patterson and David Ellis! This was a thrill ride the entire time and it was full of crazy twists and turns!

This book definitely describes how one innocent decision can turn one‘s life upside down. It also shows that we never really know anyone.

Thank you so much to the publisher, Little, Brown, and Co, and James Patterson for the advance copy of this novel as part of the James Patterson Street Team!

I love Joe Kenda so much and I will read any of his books. This is his second fiction book and I enjoyed every page of it.

The book read like a true crime book and it was full of twists and turns. I think like any mystery and thriller book this really does happen and I found it so crazy while I was reading it.

I definitely cannot wait for his next novel. Thank you so much to the publisher for an advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

I devoured this book! MJ Arlidge is one of my favorite thriller authors and I haven‘t read anything by Steph Broadribb but I‘m definitely going to change that.

This book took off from the very beginning and didn‘t let go until the end. This book had me guessing at every turn on who could be the killer and I had no idea.

Thank you so much to the publisher for the advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

I am so excited about this new series from Rebecca Zanetti. This was a Beauty and the Beast dark romance retelling and I loved it. Thorn is on my boyfriend list now. I definitely look forward to the next book in the series!

I am obsessed with this series! This is the third book and I loved it so much. This is Emmett and Briar‘s story. It was enemies for lovers and accidental pregnancy but there were some secrets along the way. It comes out on the 10th!

Thank you so much to the authors and Valentine PR for an advance copy of this book!

This book was just so much fun to read. It really brought back that 90s nostalgia and I was living for it!

I loved the Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs so I was so excited to read this one and it definitely lived up to the anticipation.

I found myself so transported into the story and I felt like I was right beside Leopold in Sunder. I was rooting for him the entire time. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

I couldn‘t get enough of Ollie and Steph! I loved the ADHD rep in this book. The spice was spicy and I loved every bit of it. Ally Williams is definitely a must read author for me now.

I received an advance copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review!

I devoured this book. This is only the second book I‘ve read from this author and I definitely plan to read her backlist because this one sucked me in and didn‘t let go. This is a YA thriller but it read more like an adult novel. There were so many twists and turns that I never saw coming. This one was such a great read!

This book is so much more than a YA horror novel. It is about finding your true self and accepting it and dealing with all of the societal and familial pushback.

I really liked the mystery/ horror aspect of the book. I felt so much for the characters as they were on a mission to find out what happened to their friend.
Thank you so much to the publisher for an advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

I am new to Cynthia Zarin‘s work because I‘ve never read any of her other collections. I would be interested in reading some of her other works.

I connected with some of the poems in this collection. I think the subjects of the poems are very broad so most readers can find some that they really connect with.

I could feel the emotion in quite a few of the poems.

Thank you to then publisher for an advance copy of this novel via NetGalley.

KMod does it again. I had been a little disappointed with a few of her previous novels because I felt like they weren‘t as thrilling as I was used to from her but this one was spot on! It was so thrilling and there were twists and turns that had me gasping and I just kept turning the pages. Another 5 ⭐️ from KMod!

I didn‘t really know what to expect when I started this book but I was very quickly transported into the story.

This was a different kind of thriller. It was a technological thriller centering around a free online encyclopedia database very similar to Wikipedia.
I definitely look forward to more from this author. Thank you so much to the publisher, Inkshares, for a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a thrilling read. I have been reading more YA thrillers lately and I tend to be disappointed by some but this one was so thrilling and it grabbed me from the start.

I enjoyed the two mysteries and finding out how they were related to each other. I really enjoyed everything about this book. I think this is the first book I‘ve read by this author.

Thank you so much to the publisher for an advance copy via NetGalley!

This was such a fun read and it really was a hoot. I found myself laughing out loud at certain parts and I loved the story.

At first I really disliked Maxine but as the book progresses we get to see her growth and it is so beautiful. This book really has such great character growth from all of the main characters and I loved every bit of it.

Thank you so much to Inkshares, the publisher, for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review!

This was a very interesting read! I don‘t follow golf or know anything about it but I do know who Tiger Woods is and I know a little about his career. This is a great read for someone as an introduction to golf and one of the major players in golf.

Thank you so much to Little, Brown, and Co for the advance copy of this book as part of the James Patterson Street Team.

I‘m fairly new to the fantasy genre so I wasn‘t expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. This one hooked me from the very beginning and it kept me entertained the whole way through. I definitely look forward to the next book. And this one is just gorgeous!

This book was really such a delight to read and I loved everything about it. This book is mystery mixed with romance and I couldn‘t get enough.I loved the chemistry of the two characters not only romantically but as they worked together to solve the mystery. I would definitely be interested in another book following these characters!
My overall rating is 4.5 ⭐️! Thank you so much to the publisher for the advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

I loved this book so much. It was full of banter and spice and I couldn‘t get enough. I definitely plan to read the next book in the series when it comes out.

The title of this book is quite appropriate for Jane Effing Smith. She is actually really hard to kill. Jane faces many struggles and obstacles in this book but she never lets any of them get her down. I absolutely love her character and I hope there will be many more books.
My overall rating of this book is 4.5 stars. Thank you so much to the publisher for the advance copy of this novel via NetGalley as part of the James Patterson Street Team!

If I could give this book 10 stars I would do it in a heartbeat. This is probably the best book I have ever read. It was such a powerful book and I was so overcome with emotion when I finished that I just cried for like 5 minutes. Just..wow. This book is amazing.

I struggled with this book during the first half. The second half made up for it but I felt like the title was misleading because I thought it would be a mystery and it was not. It was more of a finding yourself and coming to terms with who you are type book.

I don‘t know how I‘ve managed to go this long without reading this book. It dragged me in and didn‘t let go until the very end. I will definitely be reading the sequel because I have to find out what the heck is going to happen next.

The wide range of emotions this book made me feel was crazy. Anger, fear, sadness. This book is living rent free in my head and I loved this horror novel. I definitely look forward to reading other books by this author!

This was such a cute book and when I found out the dogs were some of the main characters I was sold. I loved the romance. Thad and Ashanti just had instant chemistry. I definitely plan to read other books by this author.

This book was just absolutely heartbreaking at times. This is a debut novel and I can‘t wait to read more from this author.

This book is about the disappearance and murders of several indigenous women and the fight and investigation to find out who killed them. I feel like the author did a great job of shedding light onto the ongoing problem of indigenous women going missing and being killed.
