Turning Angel: A Novel by Greg Iles

Last month when I reviewed The Quiet Game, I didn’t actually start this series there. Nope, somehow I started with the second book, which is Turning Angel. I really want to thank whoever or whatever it is that turned me on to Greg

The Quiet Game by Greg Iles

So I am not really sure just who turned me on to the Penn Cage series by Greg Iles. If I did, I would give them a huge hug, because this series has turned out to be pretty amazing.

The Quiet Game is the first book in the Penn Cage series

She Started It: A Novel by Sian Gilbert

Wow. To say that revenge is best-served cold is putting it lightly when it comes to She Started It: A Novel by Sian Gilbert. This book is far-fetched, unrealistic, and so utterly delicious. It's been a very long time sin

All the Sinners Bleed: A Novel by S.A. Cosby

All the Sinners Bleed: A Novel is not the first book from S.A. Cosby that I own, but it’s the first that I sat down and read. Holy hell, what an introduction that was because this book is amazing. Right from the firs

The New Mother: A Novel by Nora Murphy

As I start my review, I have to admit that I am child-free. Don't get it confused because even though I'm child-free by choice, I don't hate children. I love them in fact, and I'm really good with them. I just like them when

Book Review 📚

Such a Quiet Place: A Novel by Megan Miranda

It's a mystery/thriller, which I tend to love. But this one was different, at least for me. First, it wasn't action packed so the first half of the book dragged a little. There were a lot of characters and backstories

The Nigerwife: A Novel by Vanessa Walters

Let me start off by acknowledging that the title of the book is not the best and is a bit off-putting, but please don't let that stop you from reading this one. If you do, you seriously going to miss out because The Niger

Yellowface: A Novel by R.F. Kuang

This is the first book I've read by R.F. Kuang. If any of her other books are as well written as Yellowface, well this certainly won't be my last one. First off, I love that an author wrote a book about the publishing industry,
