Strong Ending to the Brothers Sinister Series

The Suffragette Scandal by Cour

by Leave a Comment

I have to say that this re-read was really enjoyable. I really did like reading about Free and Edward again. I honestly don’t have much to add from my original review except to say that the book starring Violet pales in comparison to this one. Original review below: The character of Free was introduced to readers in her brother’s book (The Heiress Effect #2) and I was instantly enamored with her. When she tells her brother Oliver that the world had better look out for […]

The Book Was Free

Big Sexy Love by Kirsty Greenwood

by 4 Comments

Right now I am on a zero dollar book budget, which isn’t that bad. I am reading things that I may have passed up on. Though now I am like, girl, get better taste in free books. “Big Sexy Love” could have been so much better. I think in the end too many absurd things were happening and Greenwood lost the plot. And I liked the idea behind the plot so much. I also wish we spent more time with Birdie. Birdie was a great […]

Thriller Aspect Not Well Done

The Couple by Sarah Mitchell

by Leave a Comment

Please note that this book will be released on February 5, 2019. Also note that I received this ARC for free from NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Good grief, I don’t know what to start with here. I should have known better when I saw the full title of the book which is: The Couple: An unputdownable psychological thriller with a breathtaking twist. There was just too much going on. It didn’t help that the author jumped back to the present and […]

Perfect

If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin

by 2 Comments

If Beale Street Could Talk is sublime. For those who saw the movie, not everything in the novel stays the same, there are some scenes that I assume were cut for time. I thought that the way this ended was pretty perfect though.             This book is told from the POV of 18 year old Tish. She is dealing with the effects of her fiancee Fonny being locked up after he was accused of rape. You think that this would […]

A Thousand Nos

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

by 4 Comments

    Sometimes you read a book that you can’t believe is so bad you just keep reading it. This was one of those books. The shifting narratives don’t work, you pretty much know who did what it’s just a wait for the cops to figure it out. The only reason why I didn’t zero star this thing was the ending which made me go, huh. “The Couple Next Door” follows Anne and Marco Conti. A happily married couple (or it appears to be so) […]

Set Fire….to the Rain

Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center

by Leave a Comment

Please note that this book will be released on August 13, 2019. And note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well this was really good. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was because forgiveness is okay, but I loathed what one of the characters did and it was like they were given a pass on it because they had other issues going on. FYI, I am all about the vengeance. “Things You Save in […]
