The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
This was my first “sitting and waiting for my allergy shot” book of the year. I go every Thursday (ish) at lunch time, and I have to get my allergy shot and sit there for 30 minutes to make sure I don’t have a bad reaction. I started last year and would usually play on my phone while I waited, but this year I decided to use my time wisely and read an actual physical book. So needless to say it took a while to […]
Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra
This book filled me with rage. You must read it! There’s no way for me to write a proper review without some spoilers, so be warned. I will do my best to keep them to a minimum. This appears to be Tracy Sierra’s first book, and I can’t wait to see what she does next. It’s a tight, well written thriller that I had a hard time putting down, but also wanted to throw across the room because, as I said, rage. A mother […]
The Match by Harlan Coben
Several decades ago, a young boy was discovered living alone in the woods. The boy was put in foster care; the authorities assumed the boy would eventually be claimed. But no such thing happened. The boy, nicknamed Wilde, grew up and became a… PI? Enforcer? Jack of All Trades in the security business? We don’t know, we don’t care. All we know is that the boy’s memories never came back, save for one: a red banister, a portrait of a man, and the sound of […]
(The Housemaid #1) The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
(The Housemaid #2) The Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden
I read both of these books as actual real physical books, which for me is a big deal. I was over my aunt’s house and she was like “you have to read this book” about the first one, but I only had the weekend to read it, because she borrowed it from the woman she babysits for (and she’s crazy – my aunt). So I hit my timeline because I had a timeline, but also because the book was good! Then, mom of the kids […]

(Stone Barrington #4) Swimming to Catalina by Stuart Woods
(Stone Barrington #5) Worst Fears Realized by Stuart Woods
(Stone Barrington #6) L. A. Dead by Stuart Woods
(Stone Barrington, #7) Cold Paradise by Stuart Woods
I read these books over the course of the year. I did read them in order, but not all consecutively. I just thought it would be appropriate to review them all together since it’s a new series for me, and a few of them have characters and storylines that connect to each other. Books 5 through 7 are actually my most recently read books (32 – 34 for the year), but they all fit in this post. Like I said in my title, I’m still […]
K-9 Security by Nichole Severn
When Elena’s younger brother is abducted by the cartel that’s been slowly taking over the town, she must turn to Cash and his canine partner Bear in her crusade to get him back. I’m a sucker for a dog on the cover. And Bear is a working dog, which is a novel idea for someone whose own dog lives for sleeping, eating, and sniffing every blade of grass he comes across on his daily walks. This is an action-packed story, where the main characters take […]
