This was so much better than I thought it was going to be! And I don’t even care that I guessed most of the ending about halfway through. I ended up liking the characters so much by the end, I just wanted to hug and squeeze them all. I suggested One of Us is Lying to my book club, and as soon as they heard, “The Breakfast Club, but with murder,” they didn’t even want to listen to any of my other suggestions. Sometimes you […]
“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t”

Daisy orchestrates a scenario so that Aza can reconnect with Davis, who she hasn’t seen for a few years. Aza and Davis […]
#CBR10 Bingo: Backlog – Outcast
3.5 stars #CBR10Bingo: Backlog (has been on my TBR list since June 2013) Riley Carver lives in a little town somewhere in the Southern USA. For the past six years, on a particular day, angels come from the heavens and take away some of the townspeople. One year ago, the angels took Riley’s best friend, almost boyfriend, Chris. So she’s refusing to to leave the house (even though the whole town is supposed to the public celebration – or face strong censure), and when she sees […]
The one without the series’ main character.
I have liked this book against my will. I am a completionist, so I will be finishing this series, even though it is ALL OVER THE PLACE, all caps well deserved. But I put off reading this book for a long time because it seemed like SJM was taking me on a detour to a country I knew nothing about with characters I didn’t know, and Chowl (who I really grew to dislike over the course of the first four books), and I was resentful […]
“Sometimes we get it wrong the first time. But you only have to get it right once.”
#CBR10Bingo: Brain Candy A year ago, Paige’s boyfriend died in a tragic drowning accident, and she is still suffering from nightmares and is known around town as “the girl whose boyfriend died”. She hasn’t been able to even get near a pool since it happened. It seems like everywhere she goes, she gets “the look” of people who don’t really see her, but just associate her with the dead boy she’d dated for two months before his life was tragically cut short. Determined that she […]
It’s hard to become homecoming queen when you can’t even leave your house
From Goodreads, as I’m once again reviewing books from over a month ago: Mallory hasn’t left the house in sixty-seven days–since the day her dad left. She attends her classes via webcam, rarely leaves her room (much to her brother’s chagrin), and spends most of her time watching The X-Files or chatting with the always obnoxious BeamMeUp on New Mexico’s premier alien message board. But when she’s shockingly nominated for homecoming queen, her life takes a surprising turn. She slowly begins to open up to the world outside. And […]
