CBR11BINGO Square: Cannonballer Says – I read this book because Bea Pants’ Review struck my interest! I tend to post reviews in fits and bursts, so I’m not as active on the CBR11 page as I had hoped. When I post my reviews, I try and look around at recent reviews, both for curiosity and to get some ideas for my TBR pile. This sometimes leads to hopscotching around to previous reviews by the same, person etc. I’m not sure exactly how I saw Bea Pants’ […]

Interesting Premise that Fizzled Out Too Soon

The Victim by Max Manning

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on August 6, 2019. Well this was a shame. I was looking forward to this one because having an author follow the two possible paths a potential car jacking victim could go sounded so intriguing. Too bad that Manning didn’t just focus on the main protagonist and added in POVs from so many people. Also I got so confused after a while if […]

Often those that criticize others reveal what he himself lacks

The Rumor by Lesley Kara

Please note that I received this book for free via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on June 18, 2019. So I liked the general idea on how a rumor can catch fire and burn innocent people. However, I think Kara didn’t go far enough with it. Also some of the book read as repetitive after a while with Joanna thinking everyone was the child killer Sally McGowan in hiding. And then we have the reveal (which […]

Two Types of Breakdown

The Breakdown by B.A. Paris

I do have to say that I liked parts of the book. I think the biggest reason why I only gave it 3 stars was that Cass seemed beyond ridiculous and naive at times. Can we get a strong female character in a suspense book for once who doesn’t do things like go out into the dark in search of a killer? We women do have common sense. Also it didn’t make a lot of sense to me why she didn’t want to go to […]

Nice Blend of Science Fiction and Suspense

The Perfect Wife by JP Delaney

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley for free. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on August 6, 2019. So, I was pretty vocal about how badly I disliked “The Girl Before.” So you are probably wondering what in the world caused me to willingly pick out “The Perfect Wife” to review. Well, I heard that it had a lot of science fiction elements in it and since I want to read more science fiction this […]

I Can’t Think of a Good Title….Hot Mess???

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks

Trigger warning: Suicide. Wow. So I had inklings this one wasn’t going to go well with the pop up questions and people waiting on me to finish this on Goodreads. BTW, thanks for not giving a heads up on how bad this was going to be people! I was looking for a slow burn psychological thriller and this turned into nothing that made coherent sense with the women going to increasingly lengths for men or over secrets that would have people going who cares. “An […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
