This post contains links to products that I may receive compensation from at no additional cost to you. View my Affiliate Disclosure page here. The Night Before by Wendy Walker The Night Before by Wendy Walker is an intriguing & captivating suspense novel. While reading it, my mind is trying hard to keep track of all the secrets. I don’t which ones are going to be important down the road, so that keeps my interest. Where I struggled is with keeping timelines & characters straight. I had a hard time connecting & latching on to a character. Whenever that happens, it makes reading more of a job for me. That being…

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…

The Boy from the Woods Special thanks to Harlan Coben, Grand Central Publishing & NetGalley for providing our copy in exchange for an honest & fair review. Well, my binge of all things Harlan Coben continues. This is my fourth book of his in the last few months.

All I can say is… I recognize Hester from Run Away, but my buddy Amy at Novelgossip tells me Hester is in a lot of Harlan books. I love her! From the get-go, The Boy From The Woods starts off…

The Sun Down Motel
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James Ghosts are real, this book is creepy as hell & you need to read it ASAP. That’s the review. Okay, I’ll fill in a bit more. Now, I know a lot of people don’t like supernatural stuff. With that said, if ghosts aren’t your thing, please give this book a chance. Honestly, there are ghosts, spirits, dark energy present within the pages of The Sun Down Motel. For me, the bulk of the story fits has a true-crime vibe. The dual timelines are great. We float back & forth as we try to find out what really happened to Carly’s Aunt Viv.…
The Stranger by Harlan Coben
The Stranger by Harlan Coben Oh, this one starts off so strong. While I’m still new to Harlan I expect his characters to be whip-smart & his writing to keep me up late at night. I will say The Stranger succeeds on both fronts. Immediately, I’m thinking What Would I Do in this situation? It takes me no time to get invested in the characters. As time goes on though, I become a bit wary of Adam & how he handles things. Especially since he is an attorney, I have some expectations that are not met. I’m thinking, Do this/not that! Maybe that’s on me, but still, it has an…
