The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
After reading this masterful thriller, it’s hard for me to believe I ever assigned a Ruth Ware book to my DNF pile. The Turn of the Key is nothing less than an exhilarating mystery wrapped up in a unique form of storytelling I don’t believe I’ve ever seen done exactly like this before. The characters are well […]

The New Neighbor by Karen Cleveland (ARC Review)
With a thrilling plot and a compelling cast of characters, The New Neighbor earns an easy five stars from me. What is it that I love so much about it? Um, everything, I think, but let’s get a little more specific. The writing is wonderful, not fanciful. The language isn’t showy and over the top. It is […]

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie
With a large cast of fascinating characters and an equally intriguing plot to match, Death on the Nile is the perfect mystery. I am a longtime fan of Agatha Christie, particularly her Hercule Poirot series, and she truly outdid herself with this one. It is a rare moment as of late that I enjoy all the female […]

Dark Objects by Simon Toyne (ARC Review)
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’m about to do something I really don’t like to do: give a book one star. Unfortunately, I felt really backed into a corner on this one, and I just ended up having a pretty poor reading experience. As […]

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Now that I’m thinking about it, I’m pretty sure the first time I read this book, I didn’t read the entire thing. It’s an odd thought, because now, I would absolutely never DNF this, but I guess that just speaks to how tastes change over the years. As of today, Angels and Demons is easily one of […]

One of the Girls by Lucy Clarke (ARC Review)
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review! In the interest of complete honesty, this was not a book I enjoyed. Just for context, I say this as a 22-year-old woman whose favorite genre is thrillers with female main characters, which is precisely what One of the Girls is. My […]

The Night Shift by Alex Finlay (ARC Review)
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. To be frank, I am disappointed. The Night Shift reads a lot like a knockoff of Riley Sager’s Final Girls, only with three points of view and a focus on the legal side of things. I had high hopes; it’s undoubtedly a […]

Elektra by Jennifer Saint (An ARC Review)
Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review! For many, it was Percy Jackson. For me, it was Elektra that made me fall in love with Greek mythology. I’m a little late to the obsessing-over-Greek-myths club, but better late than never! Following the story of three different but interconnected women, Elektra takes an […]

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed with this book after how much I enjoyed A Court of Thorns and Roses. In an effort to make this as clear as possible (and not focus solely on the good or bad), let me give you an idea of the great…and the questionable, as I see it. What I liked: […]

Final Girls by Riley Sager
My entire synopsis in three words? Another great thriller. And for any of you who know me and my reviews well, you know I love a great thriller. Even better, a great thriller including characters with whom I empathize; and a step up from that, a twisty ending. Final Girls included all of the above. […]
