9 True Crime Must-Reads: Serial Killers

I collect true crime nonfiction for the same reason I binge true crime podcasts: I am easily lured down the rabbit hole when it comes to murder. If the case happens to be connected to a serial killer, even better. That means there is a pattern, a motive and possibly insight into their behavior. WhileContinue reading “9 True Crime Must-Reads: Serial Killers”

Bloodline

I read this book in one sitting. When I set it down and stared at the ceiling afterwards, my husband dutifully asked “Well, was it good?”. He’s not a reader but supports my addiction so I explained that YES it was good, but it was pretty screwed up. I gave him a brief synopsis –Continue reading “Bloodline”

The Reunion

There are some authors I am forever searching for on the shelves of used bookstores. Samantha Hayes is one of those authors. She published Until You’re Mine in 2013 and I have been hooked since.

Luckily my local library had a few copies to borrow because I have yet to find it used. A trip to the library is anContinue reading “His & Hers”

The Family Upstairs

I was really excited for The Family Upstairs. I had just binged all of Lisa Jewell’s books when it was first released and could not wait to get another fix. That is what her audiobooks are like for me – a drug. The narrations are INCREDIBLE paired with Jewell’s twisted storylines. When I decided toContinue reading “The Family Upstairs”
