One of Us Is Next (One of Us Is Lying #2) by Karen M. McManus

I reviewed the first book of the series: here and another book by the author : here If this was any other author, I would have probably thought that this was a sequel that nobody asked for and did not want. But with this author, it is hard to resist reading and liking something about it.  It…

Detective Jude Fontaine #2 #3 by Anne Frasier

Narrated by : Emily Sutton Smith I reviewed the first of the series : here This is the second book in the series and continues on the note that we left it in. The city has descended into darkness because of a chain of events, and now in the aftermath, a new maniac comes to…

The Silence (Columbia River #2) by Kendra Elliot

Narrated by : Emily Sutton-Smith  I only found out that I had forgotten to review this book or even note anywhere that I had read it until I was compiling one of my year-end lists! This was odd, and I decided that I ought to correct the error. This is listed as the second book…

With a few days left for the year and the fact that I skipped writing reviews for a few books I did read, I have choices to make. The first is to at least meet the deadline I set on Goodreads, which means writing four reviews. Then compiling my long lists and finally my graphs.…

Home Before Dark by Riley Sager

I have read two other books by the author and liked the style. I thought the blurb of this looked interesting enough to try. The genre is not something I frequently pick up. My uber active imagination does not need much more to plague my dreams with. This, however, was worth the venture. Only reading…

The Heatwave by Katerina Diamond

I did not like this book. For once, it was not the plot twist that put me off (as it is usually with thrillers and me). I respect the twist and has no quarrels with it despite having guessed it before the reveal.  What I had trouble with was the imagery that the narrative threw…

Girls of Brackenhill by Kate Moretti

I have read and liked a previous book by the author(The Blackbird Season by Kate Moretti) and I wanted to give this a shot as well. The writing style and the claustrophobic atmosphere were on point. I could feel the stifling conditions that our lead protagonist found herself in when she gets a call that her(long…
