The Traitors by C.A. Lynch (Re..

The Traitors was my first introduction to C.A. Lynch’s books! Before I get to the story, the narration was on point though I did need to speed it up as some of the dramatic pauses grated on my nerves. With zero exaggeration, I binged this read in one session. Lynch really leans into the unlikable and flawed characters for this “locked room” thriller. You don’t need likable characters to enjoy this story. Lynch crafted believable, and occasionally off-putting, thoughts and […]

Harper has expertly layered Aaron Falk’s character from the start and this book it really shines. Exiles […]

Its always a little bitter sweet to say farewell to beloved characters. The only thing keeping me from tears is knowing that Jones will bring back her trademark humor, wit, and good times in a new story. Also that I still have yet to finish up Charley’s books. I always compare the Vicram series to Gilmore Girls and I stand firm on that comparison. Sunshine Vicram remains firmly on my book girlfriend list. I would list all her great qualities […]
