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

I loved this book and all the characters. Can‘t wait to see their continued development in book 2. Also looking forward to watching the TV series. #spredges by my husband, he‘s the best!
Book 69 of 2024

This book was WAY too similar to The Winter People. Read this for book club and was disappointed.
Book 68 of 2024

Cute romance about witches. Think I liked this more than the first book. #botm
Book 67 of 2024

The perfect October romance. Excited to pick up book 2. #botm
Book 66 of 2024

This was a good, solid thriller. Bonus, it had a few references to my hometown which was really wild! #botm
Book 65 of 2024

This is the second book in a probable trilogy. It better be a trilogy with that ending! I really loved Chasing the…but this one fell a little flat for me. The MC, i.e., the author, made choices I just felt were improbable based on what I remembered. Still a good and CREEPY follow-up that I recommend.
Book 64 of 2024

I thought this book had a super cute premise and wound up happy with the outcome. At first it was a little slow for me but then I was fully invested. Wish it had been a bit more 🌶️
Book 63 of 2024

Really enjoyed this police procedural/horror book. A little reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs. The dialogue bothered me at times, not a strong part of this book. #BOTM
Book 62 of 2024

Thoroughly fun; I‘m really enjoying these Hazelwood STEM romances.
#BOTM
Book 61 of 2024

A feminist vampire tale where a woman learns to embrace her desires and needs. Sign me up! Rachel Harrison is must read author for me; I love how she seamlessly makes social commentary through horror.
#aardvark

Caught up with reading this before I dove into the series and absolutely loved it. Can‘t want to see how it is adapted as I loved season 1.
Book 59 of 2024

I recently saw this author's interview where she mentioned RHOBH influenced this story and I thought, "I have to read that book". I'm so glad I did! A great story that builds and builds to a great conclusion. Plus if you're a RH fan you'll see the influences and out right call out.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for this ARC in return for my honest review.

A good start to a new series. Not my favorite of hers but still a fun read.
Book 57 of 2024

The first book in the series that wasn‘t for me; just “nopes” all around. Loose retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That didn‘t stop me from finishing though!
Book 56 of 2024

A lot to digest in this book and ready to discuss during next weekend‘s book club. #aardvark
Book 55 of 2024

I‘m really liking this series, this was a loose retelling of Aladdin. Can‘t wait to dive into the next one.
Book 54 of 2024

Wasn‘t sure I‘d like this one since it‘s a dark retelling of The Wizard if Oz but I really did!
Book 53 of 2024

Really enjoying the “A Never After” series. Book 2 complete and ready to dive in to number three. Loved the Hamlet references used in this book…and the ending!
Book 52 of 2024

When I told my husband the synopsis he said, “oh you‘re reading published fan fiction”. YUP!!! Also buying the series 😂
Book 51 of 2024

I loved this book so much. My figure skating heart swooned and I am a full on Lana Ferguson romance fan. Can‘t wait for her next one...about the Loch Ness monster!!!
Book 50 of 2024

My X-files loving heart LOVED this book. This will be a must read author for me. Her debut was awesome and covered my love of Cryptids, Mulder and Scully and of course romance. Swoon. A book #2 is coming and it‘s not fast enough.
Book 49 of 2024
