Sometimes you just need to read a book like Everything We Never Said. Even though it's easy to see where this is headed, the ride getting there is an experience.
If teenage angst, drama and thrills are your type of jam then add this one to the list and enjoy.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.

I picked this one up on a whim while I was at the library. Started this and finished in less than day. I love this author's writing and every book I have read by them I finish super fast because I just get so drawn into the story. This is a perfect one for Spooktober. It is especially good for those that want spooky, thrills, chills, and don't want the gore.

When Plan A Fails is the second book in this series and, like the first, it grabs you and keeps you invested. There is so much going on within this story that I was worried about feeling lost or having things become convoluted. Thankfully, the author does a great job of keeping things clear, separated and flowing well.
I was completely surprised at the end when the big twist came to light. That was a pleasant surprise because normally I can figure things out early on. I really enjoyed following Izzy's investigation as she put things together. I did miss having more of her Tita Maggie in the story. I am hoping the next installment will have her more involved.
This series is definitely a good one for those who love mysteries with a splash of the supernatural. I sincerely appreciate the author for the review copy.

Interesting premise and easy read. I was gifted this book by a friend and finally decided to dive in. I don't usually do well with domestic suspense, but this one wasn't bad.
The chapters sometimes felt a little long for such a short book. Overall a good read and one I would recommend for fans of this genre.

Just wow! It has been a very long time since I flew through a book this big. 500+ pages. Whew! I want more!
Thank you, thank you Entangled Teen and Red Tower Books for the review copy!! I LOVE that my copy is marked so I know what number of ARC I have.
There wasn't anything I didn't love about this book. Odessa is endearing and I felt connected to her as I can relate to how she feels and much of what she does though. Ransom is amazing and the two of them together is magic.
I did figure out who Ransom is from the very beginning, in the throne room, but that didn't ruin anything for me. I just kept waiting for the big reveal so I could be like aha! LOL
The next installment cannot come out soon enough for me. The ending has me on pins and needles. I knew there was something more to Odessa when she first meets Brother Dime, and knew she felt what others couldn't. Now I have to wait and see what it is and what her part in all this is. CANNOT WAIT!

The Spanish Diplomat's Secret is the third installment in this series. I really wanted to love this one, but it took a lot for me to finish it.
I love the setting, the characters and the time period. What I didn't love was the pacing and the tediousness of Jim's investigation. He and Diana are both smart, capable people so I feel like it should not have dragged on the way it did. That alone made it hard for me to even want to finish reading this.

I needed a break from what I'm currently reading and just randomly saw this while looking through what my library had. I'm glad I chose this. It's chaotic, crazy, a hot mess and just pure fun.

I wanted to love this one, but it just didn't do it completely for me. It starts off great, and has a quick pace throughout. The articles thrown in here and there interrupted the flow for me so that is part of the issue. The other part is that it's just too many questions and not enough answers.
It has a creep atmosphere and at times had me chilled. For those that want scary but don't want a lot of gore, this is a good read for that.
Overall, I liked this...just not a complete love.

Eh. This wasn't really for me. I didn't like the main character, at all. She just reinforced the reason why many people, including me, have a hard time respecting or even liking reporters. Jolene was tolerable at best.
The story itself was just ok. I skimmed a lot because there was so much about journalism and political undertones that it took away from enjoying the book as a whole.

Man I love this author. Everytime I grab an Eddie Flynn book I am sucked in and it's hard to come back to the real world. I keep running back to these pages because I just have to know what is happening next.
I must be getting better with deciphering this author's intent because two of the biggest twists I actually figured out ahead of when they were revealed. That in no way took away from the book as a whole because until the twists were revealed it could have gone either way.
Absolutely love this author's writing. If you enjoy police procedurals and legal thrillers, grab anything by this author. I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.

I've enjoyed this series so far and was excited to snag A Violent Heart. Police procedurals are one of my favorite genres. Whenever I pick up a book by this author I am captivated and finish the story quickly.
I love Archer and Quinn. They make a great detective duo and keep the story flowing well. Definitely a good one for those who enjoy mysteries, serial killers and police procedurals.

As a seasoned horror reader, The House of Last Resort sounded great. I love the setting, the main characters and the storyline. Overall, however, it didn't completely do it for me.
Is it creepy? A little. Is it dark and sinister? Teeny bit. Did I want more? Yes.
It starts off great. New home in a new, but old, country. A town desperately trying to breathe new life back into it. The home purchased has... vibes and things happen. Eventually the history of the home comes to light. Kate and Tommy are now wary of noises and incidents they passed off. Time passes, more things happen and we get to another, even darker secret, a twist I didn't see coming, and...the end.
For someone who hasn't read much horror I think this would be a good one. It would be a good read for Spooktober as the atmosphere is perfect for Fall reading.

Ladykiller is not a genre I read often. When I do indulge it's often fun. If you have this one on your TBR, go in blind. I think it would be a lot more interesting if you do. I often go into my books without reading the synopsis and I feel like if I had read this one I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.
There is a lot that is going on in this story. Between all the drama, the backstabbing, and the unreliable narratives you have a lifelong friendship and a little romance. Grab some snacks and enjoy.
