Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer
Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer is a hilarious & wonderful Murder She Wrote style mystery featuring the dynamic duo of Obama & Biden. This is a cozy mystery style narrative mixed with humor. Joe riding Amtrak in his aviators & yearning for a good vanilla cone. Barack chilling in the shadows (effortlessly debonair) sneaking a cigarette & helping guide the investigation. Basically, Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer is a hell of a lot of fun. I burned through it & honestly, I will read it again. While the story is technically a murder mystery, it’s light-hearted, clever & memorable. There are so many parts I catch myself laughing…

The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park
Special thanks to Sourcebooks for providing our copy of The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park in exchange for an honest review. The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park is a cute, fun & memorable novel about two kids right before they hit adulthood. Throw in a Zombie Escape room, issues with parents & a survival contest & I’m super entertained. I knew going into The Perfect Escape that this is more of a YA themed romance. I’m totally fine with that even though I’m definitely not a huge YA fan. Several months back I listened to Frankly In Love & I just fell in love with…
Darling Rose Gold
Special thanks to Berkley for providing our copy of Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel in exchange for an honest & fair review. Darling Rose Gold Truth be told, I know the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case like the back of my hand. So, when I read the synopsis of this book, I thought this must be a rip off of the case & I’m not sure I’m interested. Wrobel does a really great job of handling so many pieces of the case. True crime aficionados will eat it up. Like the teeth – can we talk about the teeth? For me, Darling Rose Gold is like a what-if scenario for…
Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
Special thanks to Wednesday Books for providing our copy of Tweet Cute by Emma Lord in exchange for an honest & fair review. Tweet Cute by Emma Lord The title says it all. This book is so CUTE! While it’s marketed as YA, I honestly feel like my middle-grade reader could read this book & enjoy it. Let me be clear, that’s a good thing! Tweet Cute by Emma Lord addresses some timely & relatable issues. I love how Lord addresses the fact that Pepper’s family is putting some unnecessary stress on her by having her run their corporation’s Twitter account. She’s doing this while she is still in High…

Nobody But You
Special thanks to Read Forever for providing our copy of Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis in exchange for an honest & fair review. Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis If you haven’t read Jill Shalvis yet, you’re in for a treat. Jill makes me cackle throughout her stories & her characters are flawed, relatable & I can always champion them! Luckily, I read this one with two fellow Jill disciples, Laura Yamin & Novel Gossip. My exact words to them about this book are, “Finished! So much sex, lots of communication and so sweet – really enjoyed it!” Do you need more than that? THE VERDICT I am really…

House of Lies by Terry Lynn Thomas
Special thanks to Suzy Book Tours & HQ Digital for providing our copy of House of Lies by Terry Lynn Thomas in exchange for an honest & fair review. House of Lies by Terry Lynn Thomas Cat is a strong-willed determined and resourceful woman. This is book three in the Cat Carlisle mystery series. Without having read the previous two books, I did just fine with the characters and plot. Standalone vs. Series That being said, there’s a lot of characters, relationships and backstory to keep track of. So, while this can be read as a stand-alone, it may be a more enjoyable read to start from book 1. There’s…
