Some of us have certain ideas of where we go when we die, but the truth of it is, we don’t know. I liked the take of being able to get revenge on the one who was responsible for your death. If I’ve learned anything from books and movies, hate simmers long after your death.… Continue reading Order of Dust, Nicholas J. Evans

The Forest, Michaelbrent Collings
Before I share my review, I want to let readers know that WordPress has forced over the new editor. I am a creature of habit who doesn't like change, especially when it's not as easy to navigate. So I apologize if this post isn't up to snuff. Alex and his wife Trish have spent their… Continue reading The Forest, Michaelbrent Collings
Home Before Dark, Riley Sager
This one is well-reviewed, so I will skip the summary I normally do. I read this one because I live in Vermont and I love a good horror story.

The Apartment, K.L. Slater
I felt myself being sucked in, unable to put the book down as I watched the hot mess that is Freya, repeatedly and naively ignore blatant red flags. Her desire for something affordable and stable wins out despite the warning signs. The premise of a desperate mother who just wants a place to live, a… Continue reading The Apartment, K.L. Slater
Catherine House, Elisabeth Thomas
I read the blurb when I requested this from HarperCollins, but I didn’t re-read it a month later when I started this. I also didn’t want to read the reviews before I read this because I wanted to go into reading this as blindly as possible. Thomas set up a great mystery of what the… Continue reading Catherine House, Elisabeth Thomas
A Week at the Shore, Barbara Delinksy
I requested this one from St. Martin’s because I always love their books. After 20 years away, Mallory and her 13-year-old daughter head back to her hometown.

But some big revelations get uncovered, ones… Continue reading A Week at the Shore, Barbara Delinksy
