Quickie Book Review – Blue Roses by Mimi Strong
Blue Roses by Mimi Strong My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a sweet, sexy, and at times hilarious start to a new series. It comes with the typical Mimi wit I’ve come to love (and expect- so keep that up!) and interesting characters. IS there spice, yes… but perhaps not as heated as […]

Quickie Book Review – One Tiny Lie by KA Tucker
One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker My rating: 5 of 5 stars As much as I loved the first book, Ten Tiny Breathes, I loved this second book even more. It was emotional, introspective, witty and pitch perfect. Books like this are the reason I’ve fallen for NA books– they are angsty, transformative and take […]

Quickie Book Review – Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker
Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved this novel (and when I read book two, I found myself really, really loving that one too). It had the perfect mix of tragic past, quirky characters, undeniable heat, and the added benefit of those didn’t-see-that-coming plot twists. Great, dark and […]

Quickie Book Review – Belle Cora by Phillip Marguilies
Belle Cora by Phillip Margulies My rating: 5 of 5 stars Every once in a while, a book or movie comes along that covers almost the entire life span of the central character, and I always love them. They do wear me out, though. Once done, I feel like I’ve lived through all those years […]

Quickie Book Review: The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh
The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh My rating: 5 of 5 stars I can’t say enough good things about this novel. It’s tragic and dark, completely captivating, and full of deep, dark twists. The power of family and betrayal. Of uncovering secrets long buried. It’s a haunting read, and one that I fell into […]

Quicke Book Review – The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant by Joanna Wiebe
The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant by Joanna Wiebe My rating: 4 of 5 stars Dark and twisty YA paranormal, with a bit of a cliffhanger ending. Well written, paced perfectly and the concept is fairly unique and interesting. I do want to delve into this world more, so I’m anxiously awaiting the next book. […]

Quickie Book Review – The Neighbors by Ania Ahlborn
The Neighbors by Ania Ahlborn My rating: 4 of 5 stars Having read Ahlborn’s first novel, Seed, I was excited to find another spine-tingling tale of hers and downloaded it the minute I found it. And this book did not disappoint. The plot kept me guessing, the gore factor was moderately high and the characters […]

Quickie Book Review – The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon
The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fabulously creepy and morose. Bits of this novel remind me of one of the stories in Full Dark, No Stars (Stephen King) because it’s similar in tone, creep-factor and historical aspects. So, that alone should tell you to read this, or course. The […]
