The breadth of this author’s writing is just awesome. While the main character was consistent, I had to remind myself what the first book in the series was about because it was so vastly different that I had trouble remembering. The first felt like a stone’s throw away from a locked-room, cozy crossover set on...
This is probably the most charming tongue-in-cheek tale of the afterlife and angels and demons I’ve ever read, except for maybe the famous one we’re not talking about right now because the still-living author has been accused of being quite rude. About the Book Three teens take the journey of an afterlifetime, traveling to Hell...
About the Book Snowed in at an isolated stately home in the Cotswolds with an assortment of eccentric characters, is not Inspector Busby’s idea of a fun way to spend the lead up to Christmas 1923. Added to his troubles is the Honourable Flora Farrington who is insisting on posing as his wife. It soon...
A little more than a year ago, I read this book for the first time – cementing my love of thrillers. I’d been slowly warming up to the genre with a few reads throughout 2023, but Mikayla Davids’ writing made me realize it was not just a fling but a long-term relationship I was developing...
If you or your middle schooler enjoy light horror, mermaids, and zombies, this is a perfect read for you. The guidelines suggest ages 12 and up, and that’s about right. A mature 10-year-old could probably read it, but I’m not an expert on that kind of thing. It does feature light romantic themes, fearful and...
In a way that seems oddly fitting, it is hard to separate the wonder of this book from the tragedy surrounding it. This is the third book in this series. It was supposed to be number three in a seven-book series chronicling the uprising of a group of bunnies and other prey animals, led by...
Last year, I read my first Deborah Stone book (which I think was also hers as well). It was in a newly minted favorite genre – thrillers – but a different flavor – domestic. And this book proves that she is only getting better at those. While the official literature doesn’t call this one a...
This book is an incredible read. The blurb is in no way misleading, but what I got from the book isn’t what I expected from the blurb. But I think anyone who has ever used AI can probably say that you don’t necessarily get what you expect most of the time. About the Book Dr....
If you’re a long-time reader here, you’re probably surprised to see a horror title here – even if it is #spookymonth. However, I decided to branch out and thought that a book of short stories would be a good way to start. Not to mention, I was told they weren’t “too spooky.” Of course, that...
I don’t remember anyone telling us that this was supposed to be a Beauty and the Beast rewrite, but I was definitely getting those vibes in this second book. But it also has it’s very own unique take as well! About the Book Ancient relics, power, and the tensions between light and darkness await.Liliana finds...
