For this review, I get into The It Girl by Ruth Ware, an author whom I have enjoyed very much in the past. When a group of friends are thrown back into their traumatic past in university, even though they are all grown up now. With the mystery of the past still looming over their heads, the question of whether they can go back to their lives once the truth comes out threatens to ruin the present.
For this review, I get into the second book in Charly Cox's Detective Alyssa Wyatt series, The Toy Box. While I read the first book a while ago, I really enjoyed it and was looking forward to getting to the next books in the series. The Toy Box isn’t set long after the first, but in terms of strength, it held up to the first book fantastically.
For this review, I continue on my train of Frieda reviews and get into Dead Med. Focusing on a group of medical students who quickly have their futures changed at a moment’s notice, it was a twisty, interesting story, but plot-wise, not a favourite of hers.
Hello beautiful people! Welcome to a new review! For this review, we dive into something a little bit different from my usual reads, the classic and well-beloved novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I won’t lie, I am usually quite nervous about diving into older literature, as my brain tends not to find it as… Continue reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
A personal first for author Holly Jackson, we dive into one of her newer releases, Not Quite Dead Yet. A super interesting book navigating through family dynamics, grief, and the struggles of life and growing up, all tied up with a riveting mystery at the center.
For this review, I get into a beloved Stephen King book, Bag of Bones. A different pace and style than his usual books, with still plenty of high stakes and dynamic moments, Bag of Bones hits differently in a lot of interesting ways. I enjoyed getting to see his usual style be presented in this way.
For this review, I get into an Ann Rule true crime book that focuses on the life and crimes of Patricia Taylor, who reigned terror on those around her in the 1970’s. While this wasn’t my favourite Ann Rule book I’ve read so far, it was still an interesting case and well written overall.
For this review, I get into the second Millennium book by Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Played With Fire. Set some time after the first book, Lisbeth and Mikael are brought back together by a conspiracy to destroy Lisbeth, set by someone unknown. On the run, Lisbeth must protect herself as she always has, but with less on her side this time around.
For this review, we get into one of Freida’s newer book releases, Dear Debbie. While I usually enjoy Freida’s books a lot, this one fell flat for me in a few different ways. While it’s not one of my favourites by her, it was still an enjoyable mystery to follow, and she has some much better reads to check out in her catalogue.
In Rachel Hawkins' novel "The Villa," Emily and her best friend Chess visit a luxurious Italian villa in hopes of rekindling their friendship. However, old traumas and a haunting mystery from the past intrude on their plans. The review praises the historical elements but criticizes the pacing and character depth, rating it a 5/10.
