They Never Learn: Layne Fargo

This book was simply outstanding. I was riveted and the twist in the middle left my mouth hanging open, honestly, I can't believe I didn't see this coming at all but I was so engrossed that I was too busy listening to th...

The Family Remains: Lisa Jewel

I didn't care for this book, and let me tell you why. It had so much potential, like this could have been a really gripping and amazing story but it fell really flat for me.

Gone to See the River Man: Kristopher Triana

I don't know how to review this book, yet here I am. On the one hand, I say it's very good. Super well written, and intriguing, you can see in your mind's eye this whole thing (which might not be a good thing) thanks to ...

Ward D: Frieda Mcfaddin

Overall, this was a good book. It was a little slow, which surprised me since it takes place in a mental ward, but it was enough to keep me going. On one hand, we have what took place in the past, high school, between he...
