I haven’t had the time to completely finish The Whisper Man yet, but when the chance to listen and review Alex North’s The Shadows popped up I had to do it. That synopsis alone had me hooked. Atmosphere is everything in The Shadows. A decaying industrial town backed up to a forest that seems forbidding and unnatural. There isn’t anything spectacular or unique about the town beyond it’s slow, seemingly inevitable demise. North weaves a creepy, intriguing tale of murder complete […]

Come Join the Murder is a solid debut and I’m sure you can tell by the name and horror genre designation that this is a grim book. I spent the first 45% of this book in ugly tears. My daughter is just a hair younger than Oliver and this is one of my worst nightmares as a wife and mother.

The Third to Die is a masterfully plotted mystery with engaging characters that promise to bring us plenty of entertainment.

I loved the first DI Dani Stephens book to the point where I was watching Sinclair’s social media waiting for the cover reveal . It should be no surprise then, that I was absolutely thrilled when offered the chance to read and review Sinclair’s latest book The Rules of Murder (thank you Canelo)! Book one really focused on Dani, her recovery and return to the force. Changing the play in this book, Sinclair launches readers straight into a grisly murder. […]

Gibbs has created a colorful, if at times confusing, dystopian set in a post-apocalyptic setting. I appreciated that author does just enough world-building to keep readers from being completely lost in this new world but we don’t get bombarded with insane amounts of detail. Instead, readers are treated to an interesting POV from Maz who thinks she is the hottest thing since sliced bread. Maz’s elitism stops just short of grating, thankfully, but honestly my favorite character was Hap. His […]
