Excellent for dark literary fiction lovers.

2. Surviving Her by Jo Johnson
A domestic suspense with many surprises along the way. The author's experience as a psychologist is put to good use here.

Devil-Devil has been on my TBR for the longest time. It was a fun read, but probably not a series I'll continue unless the next book flaunts itself in my face.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Games and Rituals: Stories by Katherine Heiny
An entertaining slice-of-life anthology. Loved how realistic the emotions felt.

While it certainly won't be for everyone, I found Claire Christian's third novel, West Side Honey to be funny, candid, entertaining and thought-provoking. 4.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Philipp Schott's novel, The Willow Wren gives the reader a very different perspective of WW2. A moving and fascinating tale. 4★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I loved Max Porter's latest novel, Shy and the boy for whom it is titled. Shy retreats into music at The Last Chance School to escape his memories. It's a wonderful, short gem of a book.
5★ My review of Shy
Kelly Link's new collection of seven stories, White Cat, Black Dog: Stories, is based on old folk and fairy tales. I can see why she's so popular. The ones I liked, I really liked. Others - not so much.
3★ My review of White Cat, Black Dog with a link to 'The New Yorker' article about both the book and its author
Wendington Jones and The Missing Tree by Daniel Dockery
