Dark Roads (Author Highlight)

I will never forget the first novel I read by Chevy Stevens. I came across Still Missing at my local library in 2010 and devoured every page, reading by the light of my cell phone on a long bus ride home from some sporting event. The fucked up storyline is one that has stayed withContinue reading “Dark Roads (Author Highlight)”

Verity

I have to admit that I had written Colleen Hoover off as a romance writer. Being the mood reader I am, her books never seemed to make it to my “to-read” pile. I had seen the hype her 2018 release received on multiple social media platforms, thinking naively it was just another of her bestsellingContinue reading “Verity”

I’ll Be Gone in the Dark

It’s 1976. You’re getting home late after spending the long northern California summer day at the river. All you want to do is take a shower and crawl into bed. Passing through the dark kitchen, you quietly swear at the milk and bread on the counter you were sure you put away that morning, tossingContinue reading “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark”

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. I was enjoying a lunch hour stroll through the thrift store and came across a familiar name but an unfamiliarContinue reading “The Reunion”

Jar of Hearts

I want to preface this with my love for Jennifer Hillier. She is adorable. She is twisted. Her writing is set in the Pacific Northwest. I have not met a Jennifer Hillier thriller I did not like. I may have rated Jar of Hearts a little higher than I normally would have based on thisContinue reading “Jar of Hearts”

The Vanishing

I originally picked up The Vanishing by Wendy Webb from the library on a whim in 2014. It was a new release with a pretty cover, need I say more? It has been seven years and I still think about this book. Seriously. It was that memorable for me. When I discovered Powell’s had aContinue reading “The Vanishing”

His & Hers

I saw so many recommendations for His & Hers by Alice Feeney. It was quickly rated well on Goodreads and it’s been on my TBR since being published in 2020. 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”
