The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally CarterContemporary Romance/Mystery RomanceSeptember 24, 202424- Avon Review by Angela I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book, my first by Ally Carter, but I fell in love with the blurb and the idea of a Knives Out murder mystery, locked room romance and decided to grab it when it came up for review. Maggie Chase is a best-selling author of cozy mysteries who doesn't care for the Christmas season. Ethan Wyatt's recently penned Continue Reading

Review: The Frame-Up by Gwenda Bond

February 14, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

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

Liar City by Allie TherinLGBTQ+ Fantasy/Mystery/ThrillerFebruary 28, 2023Carina Press Review by Kate H. Do you ever read a book with a certain expectation based on the way it is marketed, only to be disappointed, and yet … still love the book anyway?  That is what happened to me with Liar City by Allie Therin. Liar City is the first novel in her latest paranormal series and is set firmly in contemporary times.  What expectations did I Continue Reading

Review: Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger

November 18, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa UngerMystery/SuspensePublished 11/8/2022 by Park Row This is one of those slow-build, multiple-POV suspense novels that will capture readers' attention, while also frustrating them with the sluggish pacing. This is the story of three couples on holiday at a secluded luxury cabin in the woods. All three couples are connected in different ways. By marriage, by friendship, and family ties. It is arranged by the outgoing, egocentric Mako, who is Continue Reading

Review: Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger

September 22, 2022 by Jen 4 Comments

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

Murder in Westminster by Vanessa RileyHistorical MysteryLady Worthington Mysteries #1August 30, 2022 KensingtonARC This is one of those first books in a series that is super ambitious, there's a whole lot going on and at times I had to wonder how it would all fit together as the series progresses. Lady Abigail Worthing is the main character and detective in this mystery and I enjoyed her quite a bit. She's married to the absent James Monroe, Lord Worthing, who she met while solving Continue Reading
