Audio Review: The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

June 10, 2022 by Melinda 1 Comment

The Woman in the Library by Sulari GentillSuspenseJune 7, 2022, by SourcebooksAudio ARC Review by Melinda I’m always looking for good thrillers, and I think they can be difficult to find. It takes someone really talented to build the suspense necessary to keep a reader invested in the plot, and then even more difficult to have a twist that no one sees coming. The Woman in the Library does the next to impossible and has high tension, a unique format, and is completely addictive. I Continue Reading

Review: When No One Is Watching: A Thriller by Alyssa Cole

September 3, 2020 by Melinda Leave a Comment

My love for Alyssa Cole is well established and I truly think she can write anything but this book blew me away! I know people are going to say wow this book is so timely…and yes; it’s so timely - but not because of the massive protests happening this summer, or the micro and macro aggressions that are being filmed and rightly passed around, or the horrors of police brutality, but because racial injustice and inequality has always been timely in America.  What made this Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Suzanne Park and Charlie Donlea

August 20, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Loathe at First Sight by Suzanne ParkContemporary Romance/Women's FictionAugust 18, 2020 by AvonARC Maybe I read the blurb wrong, but I was kind of expecting an enemies to lovers romantic comedy when I requested this book for review. That is not what this book is, at least not the 25% I read. I'll be honest when I tell you that I didn't like any of these characters. Not a one. The main character, Melody Joo, is a woman working in the gaming industry and excited for the opportunity to Continue Reading
