The Maid’s Secret by Nita Prose is a charming and cleverly plotted cozy mystery that brings back the delightful Molly Gray, whose unique perspective once again proves invaluable in solving a high-profile murder. The novel balances humor, heart, and intrigue as Molly navigates the elite world of the luxury hotel, where secrets lurk behind every pristine surface. While the mystery itself is engaging, the real strength of the book lies in Molly’s character development and the way she grapples with her past. At times, the pacing slows due to introspective moments, but overall, it’s a satisfying follow-up that delivers both warmth and suspense. Fans of The Maid will enjoy stepping back into Molly’s world.

I Who Have Never Known MenJacqueline Harpman

Jacqueline Harpman’s I Who Have Never Known Men is a haunting, thought-provoking novel that lingers long after the final page. This dystopian tale, following a nameless woman raised in captivity and thrust into a desolate, unknowable world, is both unsettling and deeply philosophical. Harpman’s sparse yet evocative prose creates an eerie, almost dreamlike atmosphere, making the reader question identity, isolation, and the nature of humanity. I found this book to be a unique and mesmerizing read—unlike anything I’ve read before—and I absolutely loved it. A five-star masterpiece for those who enjoy introspective, existential fiction.




Bury Your GaysChuck Tingle

Chuck Tingle’s Bury Your Gays is a brilliant, genre-bending horror novel that flips the infamous trope on its head with heart, humor, and razor-sharp social commentary.

I absolutely loved this book—it’s bold, subversive, and an absolute must-read for horror fans and anyone who loves a story that fights back. Five stars!

Summary from Goodreads:From the author of White Horse (“Twisty and electric.” —The New York Times Book Review) comes a terrifying and resonant novel about a woman who uses her unique gift to learn the truth about her sister’s death.
Olivia Becente was never supposed to have the gift. The ability to commune with the dead was the specialty of her sister, Naiche. But when Naiche dies unexpectedly and under strange circumstances, somehow Olivia suddenly can’t stop seeing and hearing from spirits.
A few years later, she’s the most in-demand paranormal investigator in Denver. She’s good at her job, but the loss of Naiche haunts her. That’s when she hears from the Brown Palace, a landmark Denver hotel. The owner can’t explain it, but every few years, a girl is found dead in room 904, no matter what room she checked into the night before. As Olivia tries to understand these disturbing deaths, the past and the present collide as Olivia’s investigation forces her to confront a mysterious and possibly dangerous cult, a vindictive journalist, betrayal by her friends, and shocking revelations about her sister’s secret life.
The Haunting of Room 904 is a paranormal thriller that is as edgy as it is heartfelt and simmers with intensity and longing. Erika T. Wurth lives up to her reputation as “a gritty new punkish outsider voice in American horror.”

Review:The Haunting of Room 904 by Erika T. Wurth is an atmospheric, spine-chilling masterpiece that seamlessly blends psychological horror with a sharp critique of academia. Wurth’s writing is immersive and haunting, pulling readers into the eerie, oppressive setting of the cursed hotel room while unraveling a deeply unsettling tale of trauma, colonialism, and ghosts—both literal and metaphorical. The slow-burn tension builds masterfully, and the protagonist’s descent into paranoia and fear is both gripping and emotionally raw. With its rich storytelling, sharp social commentary, and truly terrifying moments, this book cements Wurth as a powerhouse in modern horror.

FRANCE, 1939
In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says good-bye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France…but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne’s home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.
Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaëtan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can…completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.

Saturday Sips: 4 Star Reads

Welcome to this week’s 4-Star Saturday Sips, where I share quick, spoiler-free reviews of books that hit the sweet spot—engaging, well-written, and totally worth the read! Whether you love fantasy, romance, thrillers, or contemporary fiction, these books delivered solid storytelling and memorable characters. Grab your favorite drink and check out my reviews of this week’s 4-star reads below.
The Queens of CrimeMarie Benedict
Marie Benedict’s The Queens of Crime is an intriguing and cleverly crafted novel that weaves real-life mystery into a fictionalized narrative. Featuring Agatha Christie as a character, the story is both a tribute to her legacy and a gripping tale in its own right. Benedict skillfully brings Christie to life, blending her iconic brilliance with a touch of vulnerability, making her feel authentic and compelling. The plot, layered with twists and historical intrigue, kept me hooked from start to finish. While some moments felt slightly rushed, the overall pacing and rich characterization made it a satisfying read. Fans of historical fiction and mysteries will find this a delightful homage to the queen of crime herself.


SwordheartT. Kingfisher

Swordheart by T. Kingfisher is a delightful mix of fantasy, humor, and romance, featuring an unconventional heroine, a grumpy yet endearing cursed swordsman, and a refreshingly pragmatic approach to adventure. Halla’s journey from sheltered widow to determined traveler is filled with sharp wit and unexpected heart, while Sarkis, the warrior bound to a magical sword, provides both dry humor and reluctant devotion. The story leans more on character dynamics than fast-paced action, which may slow the plot at times, but Kingfisher’s signature blend of warmth and sarcasm keeps it engaging. With charming banter, a slow-burn romance, and a touch of the absurd, Swordheart is a thoroughly entertaining read that balances whimsy with depth.

HeirSabaa Tahir
Heir by Sabaa Tahir is a gripping read with her signature blend of tension, rich world-building, and deeply emotional character arcs. The story unfolds with high stakes and compelling conflicts, keeping the reader invested from start to finish. Tahir’s prose is immersive, and the themes of duty, sacrifice, and power are explored with nuance. While the pacing occasionally lags and some plot points feel predictable, the character dynamics and emotional depth more than make up for it. A strong addition to Tahir’s work, Heir is a must-read for fans of intense, character-driven fantasy.




Spells, Strings, and Forgotten ThingsBreanne Randall

Spells, Strings, and Forgotten Things by Breanne Randall is a beautifully atmospheric tale blending magic, mystery, and self-discovery. The novel follows a woman returning to her hometown, only to unravel long-buried family secrets and a past she can't quite remember. The lyrical writing and rich world-building create an immersive experience, while the slow-burn tension keeps the pages turning. However, some plot points feel predictable, and the pacing lags in places. Still, the story’s enchanting magic system and emotional depth make it a compelling read for fans of witchy, folklore-infused fiction.




Jade CityFonda Lee

Jade City by Fonda Lee is a thrilling blend of gangster drama and fantasy, set in a richly detailed world where jade grants enhanced abilities and power comes at a cost. The political intrigue, family rivalries, and martial-arts-inspired action make for a gripping read, and Lee’s writing immerses you in the gritty, tension-filled streets of Janloon. The character dynamics are complex and compelling, though the pacing in the first half is a bit slow as the world-building takes center stage. However, once the story picks up, it delivers intense action and emotional stakes that make it well worth the read. A must for fans of epic, character-driven fantasy with a modern twist!

ARC Review: I'll Have What She's Having by Chelsea Handler

 

Chelsea Handler is back with her signature wit and unfiltered humor in I'll Have What She's Having, a hilarious and insightful memoir about personal growth, relationships, and embracing change. Fans of comedic nonfiction, celebrity memoirs, and sharp social commentary will love Handler’s candid storytelling and laugh-out-loud moments. If you enjoy books by Samantha Irby or Ali Wong, this one is a must-read! Check out my full review on below to see if this book is right for you!

Title: I'll Have What She's Having

By: Chelsea Handler

Genre: Memoir

Pages: 320

Release Date: February 25th, 2025

Rating: ★★★★★

 

Summary from Goodreads:In hilarious and tender essays, #1 New York Times bestselling author Chelsea Handler shares her unforgettable story of becoming the woman she always wanted to be.
There’s a woman I want to become, Chelsea Handler thought as a child. She’ll be strong and confident. She’ll light up a room and spread that light to make others feel better. She’ll make a living being herself. She’ll be a survivor.
At ten years old, Chelsea opened a lemonade stand and realized she’d make more money if the drinks were spiked. So she added vodka to her recipe and used her earnings to upgrade herself to first-class on a family vacation—leaving her parents and siblings in coach. She moved to Los Angeles and got fired from her temp job when she admitted she didn’t know how to transfer calls. She’s played pickleball with the scions of an American dynasty. She’s sexted a governor. She shared psychedelics with strangers in Spain. When she accidentally ended up at dinner with Woody Allen, she was not going to leave the table without asking him a very personal pointed question. She went on national television and talked about having threesomes. She's never been one to hold back.
But this life of adventure and absurdity is only part of her story. Chelsea knows what it is to truly show up for her family—canine and human, biological and chosen. She’s discovered how to spend time with herself, how to meditate, how to be open to love, and how to end a relationship with dignity. She is a sister to the many women who rely on her.
Surprisingly vulnerable and always outrageous, Chelsea Handler captures the antic-filled, exhilarating, and joyful life she’s built—a life that makes the rest of us think, I’ll have what she’s having.

While still delivering her trademark wit and unfiltered storytelling, this book feels more introspective than her previous works, offering candid insights on aging, relationships, and self-discovery with a refreshing depth. Handler's evolution shines through in a way that’s both hilarious and heartfelt, making this a standout read for longtime fans and newcomers alike. I absolutely loved it!
