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.

No Exit by Taylor Adams
For this review, I am getting into No Exit by Taylor Adams, a heart-racing thriller that keeps you glued to the pages from start to end. I really enjoyed this one and devoured it quickly because, at first, you are drawn into the high-paced mystery, and then further thrown into an action-filled ending that’s hard to turn away from. Let’s get into it!

The God of the Woods by Liz Moore
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore is a mystery thriller focusing on the Van Laar family, plagued by the disappearances of siblings Barbra and Bear. While the narrative is rich in character exploration and emotional depth, the pacing may not satisfy those seeking a fast-paced plot. Ultimately, it's more character-driven than thrilling.
