Review: The Frame-Up by Gwenda Bond
The Frame-Up by Gwenda BondSupernatural MysteryFebruary 13, 2024- Del ReyARC Review by Angela I don't know why I thought this would be a lighter heist book, but The Frame-Up was much darker than I expected. I blame it on the cutesy cover (which I like) but might be a bit misleading. The Frame-Up starts off by introducing its main protagonist, Dani Poissant, daughter of an infamous art thief, currently on her own pulling jobs. She gets sucked back into her former life when a Continue Reading

Review: Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger
Pen Pal by J.T. GeissingerPsychological FictionAugust 16, 2022 Review by Jen I don’t know what I was expecting from this book, but what I read wasn’t it. And I say that in a totally amazing great way. Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger was a crazy twisty good read!! I feel like the cover does this book an injustice. The story is so much more than then this shirtless dude. I like the cover, but it’s misleading. We have Kayla, who has just lost her husband in a tragic accident. She Continue Reading
