Not-Too-Thrilling Thrillers: August Reading Wrap-Up
There were a few good books this month, and then a lot of ‘popcorn’ reads (which isn’t necessarily bad since it was exactly what I aimed for). Overall, a nice ending for summer. A Good Person, Kirsten King ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘No one preys on you if you are the monster.’ Unhinged in the exact way I…

Forgettable: July Reading Wrap-Up
Most of what I read this month was just ok – generic thrillers I forget right after finishing. Some were entertaining, though. Maneater, Ellie Graves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I actually read this one a few months ago but kept forgetting to put it into a post. It was a fun revenge-centered story. How To Be A Good…

Ups and Downs: June Reading Wrap-Up
Things literally went downhill this month. It started with two-five star reads and ended with a trashy book I wish I could unread. Bad Dolls, Rachel Harrison ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a rule, I don’t enjoy short stories much, but I do love Harrison, so I gave this a try and didn’t regret it. Darling Bud, C.…

Obsessive: May Reading Wrap-Up
This month, I’ve had a bit of a reading spree through books featuring obsession and/or unhinged people. Basically, my favorite type of stories. The Truth About Ruby Cooper, Liz Nugent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liz Nugent unquestionably is one of my favorite novelists at this point. I’ll read anything she writes. This one was maddening, awful, and enraging…

Unexpected Discoveries And Disappointments: April Reading Wrap-Up
I have no idea what the hell was going on with my reading – and life – this month. Best I can sum it up is: chaotic yet curious. Mrs. March, Virginia Feito ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved Virginia’s Victorian Psycho, so I picked up her debut novel in search of good reads. A very dedicated housewife…

Thriller Binge: March Reading Wrap-Up
I read an unhealthy number of thrillers in preparation for starting my own this month, but I did have a lot of fun. There’s also some good fantasy sprinkled in between. Dear Debbie, Freida McFadden ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A seemingly innocuous housewife goes on a spree to get even with anyone who wronged her or her family.…

Drama Everywhere: February Reading Wrap-Up
It was a productive reading month, especially since I’ve enjoyed a lot of the books more than usual. The Women of Wild Hill, Kirsten Miller ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘I’m not a whore, sweetheart. I’m a witch.’ Three witches from one family are called back to their ancestral home to change the world. There’s nothing better than men…

Good Haul: January Reading Wrap-Up
Found some gems this month, and overall had a quite pleasant time with this selection of books. Boom Town, Nic Stone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wild, heartbreaking, and dark thriller about two missing erotic dancers. The characters’ stories intertwine so intricately throughout the years; it’s amazing. I don’t want to reveal too much about this book beyond the…

Oddly Random: December Reading Wrap-Up
I kept balancing on the verge of a reading slump the whole month, so I was trying to get myself out of it with some lighter reads and thrillers. It worked, though some of the books I’d forgotten as soon as I finished them. Skin Deep, Liz Nugent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nugent is now, without a doubt,…
