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…

The Wife by Shalini Boland

I have read a few other books by the author earlier and reviewed them on this blog: Of the numerous thriller authors out there, few have the narrative style that I actually enjoy. I say this after three years of blogging and falling prey to the hype and reading the more popular authors. This does…

The Silent Wife by Karin Slaughter

I have read just one other book by the author and liked the intricacies of the relationships between the lead characters. When I got a chance to pick another up, I took it.The author's writing is varied, and each character has their own quirks, patience levels as well as unique viewpoints. The book I had…

In this case, we are left to simmer.The book begins with the crime being committed. Immediately after we meet the primary protagonist, Eve Taggert. She has clawed her…

The Caretakers by Eliza Maxwell

Narrated by Janet Metzger, Erin Mallon  I have been lax in writing reviews of late, mostly because I was obsessively reading a series I hope to be able to review at the end of the month. We have had the misfortune of plunging into a third wave earlier last week(being the more potent than our…

The Body Reader (Detective Jude Fontaine Mysteries #1) by Anne Frasier

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith I normally update my KU queue at the end of the review, but given that I might have two more audiobook reviews to put up soon, I might just delay the final updated list. As always, I am more than glad that I have a new promising series to follow. This begins…
