[Lisa’s Review:] Not Myself Today by Muriel Ellis Pritchett

When I first read the synopsis for this book, I knew I had to read it, even though it’s not my usual scene. Not Myself Today is a unique, thought-provoking, and interesting story filled emotion, action, and lots of angst. It’s essentially a dark thriller version of Freaky Friday. Our heroine Lindsey is a High […]

[JoJo’s Book Review] When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole

When I first read the blurb of this book I knew I had to get my hands on it. I mean just read that blurb. When No One Is Watching is just fantastic, one thing is sure, Alyssa Cole is master of pacing, of keeping you on your toes, because she did that to me […]

[Portia’s Review: Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin (Foul Is Fair #1) [ Blog Tour]

I’m going into this review feeling very conflicted about this book. Based on the synopsis, I was hooked. I The only thing I might love more than a good retelling is a revenge plot. Seems like a recipe for success. But this didn’t quite hit the mark for me. ALSO: SUPER TRIGGER WARNINGS ! the […]

[Portia’s Review]: The Wives by Tarryn Fisher

The final book of the year for me in 2019 was The Wives by Tarryn Fisher. I really have a love/hate relationship with her books. Well, I guess I dont entirely HATE any of them, but some are just… meh, for me (Mud Vein is still my fave by her). So because of the back […]

[Asis’ Review] The Dead List by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Book CW: Suicide, Bullying, and a very scary clown. So, I absolutely adored this book. The pacing was great. The writing was on point. I laughed a lot. I got super scared. I fell hard for a certain someone… The characters were absolutely fantastic, endearing and felt like people I’d totally want to meet or to […]

Portia’s Review: Lady in the Lake by Laura Lippman

I absolutely hate to say it, but this book was exhausting. I haven’t had such a hard time finishing a book in years. I was pretty excited to finally read a Laura Lippman book. I have been eyeing Sunburn and What the Dead Know by her for a while but never picked it up (don’t […]
