I needed some young adult in my life after reading Lolita. WHOOOOOAAAA what a horrible way to phrase that. And yet I left it so you could read it and be mortified with me and for me. You’re welcome. Anyway: I love YA novels that have heart. And murder. Lots and lots of murder. AndContinue reading “The Sandcastle Empire–Kayla Olsen”

Big Little Lies–Liane Moriarty
Sometimes I give in and read popular books to see what the big fucking deal is. “Gone Girl” is an example of this. I read that because I didn’t want the mystery ruined. But I did not like that book. I could not remotely relate to the characters or understand their motivations. It seemed far-fetched. IContinue reading “Big Little Lies–Liane Moriarty”
Ballroom Blitz
I’ve been pretty busy these last few mon–years. Things have gotten out of control and I’m only JUST starting to patch things together to make them workable. One of those things being writing “reviews”, which at this point they are more or less just blurbs on like “Read it if you feel like it” andContinue reading “Ballroom Blitz”
Broken–Kelley Armstrong
The werewolves are back! The werewolves are back! I love my wolf pack. Honestly, I look forward to seeing them throughout the series more than any other characters, but I’m really glad that this series isn’t completely revolving around them. Kelley Armstrong writes in such a way that I’ll always be intrigued by this series.Continue reading “Broken–Kelley Armstrong”
The Dinner–Herman Koch
This book is about two brothers and their families. The two brothers and their wives gather for dinner in a fancy pants restaurant to discuss an issue that arises with their sons. The writing was good even though it was translated (kudos to whoever did that without making it sound stilted and odd) from DutchContinue reading “The Dinner–Herman Koch”
Strange Visitor–By Cassandra
On Hallowe’en night, I opened the door, and the first thing I saw (or didn’t see) was a missing left arm. The remaining limb hanging loosely at his side, blood dripping off it. Then a white shirt covered in blood, molded into his bald head, was his left arm. He was missing an eye, heContinue reading “Strange Visitor–By Cassandra”
To Say a Few Words…
Here’s Paul Sheldon under serious duress: He had heard the same thing time and time again. It came in different wrappers, but it always boiled down to the same thing: I remember getting into the car, and I remember waking up here. Everything else is a blank. Why couldn’t that happen to him? Because writersContinue reading “To Say a Few Words…”
The Devil’s Teardrop–Jeffery Deaver
Su-spense. This book starts out with someone taking a machine gun to a bunch of innocents in a mall. Quite obviously you realize this book is going to be a thriller and scare the hell out of you. Special Agent Margaret Lukas has to call on a retired FBI document examiner Parker Kincaid inContinue reading “The Devil’s Teardrop–Jeffery Deaver”
Spider Bones–Kathy Reichs
Snoozer. Snoozefest. Snooze-attack. I get it. You know medical terms. You know policies and procedures for running a forensic crime lab. You’re a Smarty Pants McGee. I get it. On the other hand, B-ORING. The plot would’ve been so interesting and exciting if she just calmed the hell down on the policies and procedures ofContinue reading “Spider Bones–Kathy Reichs”
Hell’s Kitchen–Jeffery Deaver
Well, this book was weird. It’s not usually what I get when I read a Jeffrey Deaver. I’m use to his character Lincoln Rhymes and the odd ways he figures crimes out and the giant mystery ending that always leaves me being like,”What in the Hell?! That was awesome!” The ending was still like that,Continue reading “Hell’s Kitchen–Jeffery Deaver”
