The Perfect Son by Fredia McFadden

The Perfect Son by Fredia McFadden

Very typical Freida McFadden. The only thing I can say is that McFadden didn’t have her usual, here’s two twists thing that she usually does. Some parts of the book dragged painfully by the way, but for the most part the book keeps moving as we figure out who abducted a young girl and whether the main character Erika’s son Liam was behind this like many in the town think. It’s not her best work, but not her worst. “The Perfect Son” follows Erika Cass […]

The Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright

I read this book when I was a kid. It scared the crap out of me and I recall not sleeping for about a week because the thought of ghosts in an old dollhouse creeped me out. Also, in my mind, it was similar to the dollhouse we get in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and I had already had several nightmares about, one two, Freddy coming for you that terrified me right before sleep. FYI, my mom almost divorced my dad over letting us […]

Death in the Family by Tessa Wegert

Woof. That was bad. I was hoping to find a new series to read/love but that is definitely not happening with this one. Honestly, there is zero character development with the lead (Shana), we get random things happening with suspects, we hear about a previous incident that happened before she moved with her fiancée, and then the book just keeps going on and on. Not one thing made any sense at the end and I just didn’t even get what Wegert was going for in […]

Framed in Death by J.D. Robb

Please note that I received this book from NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This is the 61st Eve Dallas/In Death book and I am not going to do a rundown really. This gets 4 stars since even though it gets a little paint by numbers here and there, it was still solid. I liked this one more than the last book in the series. In this book, Eve/Peabody and others are after an Artist who is focused on hiring LCs/street workers […]

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman

I honestly liked this one and for those who are looking for a book to read for Halloween. The only reason why I gave this one 4 stars was honestly towards the end the long paragraphs of people’s dialogue just did my head in. I just needed some type of sentence breaks I know that Malerman was doing that to make you more enmeshed in the story, but it’s up there with “House of Leaves” for me. I think I would have liked this better […]

No Exit by Taylor Adams

I honestly have nothing to say outside of if you want to follow a thriller that has the main lead do stupid things the whole book, this is the book for you. “No Exit” follows college student, Darby Thorne who is traveling home to see her mother and sister during a snowstorm that turns into a full fledged blizzard. Darby eventually can’t see and stops at a rest stop. While there, she meets 4 other people. Stepping outside to see if she can get a […]
