Today I’m reviewing a book I pretty much binge-read last November–author Helen Power’s debut novel, The Ghosts of Thorwald Place. Firstly I’ll start by saying that this was an interesting concept to me, and a plot I’d never seen before. Also, the cover art and title were pretty intriguing in a creepy but ‘I wantContinue reading “The Ghosts of Thorwald Place”

Puzzle Pieces
Puzzle Pieces is a romance novella by Rachael Bloome published in April of 2020. It’s a clean romance perfect for quick and easy reading. Centered on the characters of Elle Montgomery, an app developer, and Graham Dalton, a metal-welder (and the company owner), we learn that not only were Elle and Graham high school sweethearts,Continue reading “Puzzle Pieces”
A Cross-Country Christmas
Happy holidays, everyone! My first Christmas read of the year was Courtney Walsh’s A Cross-Country Christmas. This was my first completed buddy-read, with my friend Layn (you can find her on instagram @laynslittlelibrary), and damn did we have fun. I was taking notes throughout the whole book while simultaneously exchanging long, all caps, spam-like textContinue reading “A Cross-Country Christmas”
Freaks
This is a review of Tess Gerritsen’s short story Freaks, but since this is a very short review, I’ve also included a short list of her books that, due to the graphic and detailed, disturbing elements of the novel and plot itself, I have chosen not to review in depth. With this list I haveContinue reading “Freaks”
A Timeless Christmas
A Timeless Christmas, by Alexis Stanton, is a historical romance with Hallmark Publishing. I admit, I first was skeptical when I saw the film’s trailer on Hallmark, but after watching it several times (and loving it), I needed to read the book. Usually, when books come in the mail, they sit around for days toContinue reading “A Timeless Christmas”
A Murder is Announced
A Murder is Announced is the fifth murder mystery novel in Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple series. From the summary on the back cover of the book, I knew it sounded like an interesting plot, and nothing I’d read before. It took a few chapters for me to really get into it, but after that, IContinue reading “A Murder is Announced”
Rumple Buttercup
Matthew Gray Gubler’s Rumple Buttercup, while a children’s book, is a wonderful story for a person of any age. With incredibly interesting artwork, unusual characters, and short sentences on the pages, this is an easy book to read to your children–or yourself–while keeping interest. To younger children it may simply be a fun story toContinue reading “Rumple Buttercup”
Body Double
Body Double, the fourth installment in Tess Gerritsen’s murder mystery series, Rizzoli & Isles, was disappointing to say the least. Going in, I had high hopes for it. In fact, it sounded downright intriguing. Unfortunately, it became clear pretty quickly that I was in for a huge letdown. At first it begins with a presumedContinue reading “Body Double”
The Silent Girl
The Silent Girl is the ninth in Tess Gerritsen’s murder mystery series, Rizzoli & Isles. It brings back all the character’s we’re used to, along with now retired Detective Vince Korsak, Angela Rizzoli, and the easily hate-able Frankie Rizzoli. Along with these characters come the new ones; police officer Johhny Tam, who is eager toContinue reading “The Silent Girl”
The Mephisto Club
The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen. This is book six in the series, and after reading The Keepsake (the seventh), I was hesitant to start this one. That said, I am glad I did! This was by far one of the best mysteries I’ve read in a long time. That said, it does have it’sContinue reading “The Mephisto Club”
