  • Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

    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 Read more

  • One of the Girls by Lucy Clarke (ARC Review)

    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 Read more

  • The Night Shift by Alex Finlay (ARC Review)

    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.

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 Read more

    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: Read more

  • Final Girls by Riley Sager

    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. Read more
