Both Tamir and Emily are keeping secrets. Bound by their secrets for varying reasons, if they don’t learn to trust one another, Emily might not make it out alive. Emily has a forceful personality, and her inner strength keeps her fighting. She’s highly self-reliant, and sometimes that means not letting Tamir in when she needs… Continue reading Where Loyalties Lie, Jill Ramsower
Burn Our Bodies Down, Rory Power
I think the magic of this book is that the horror comes as a sneak attack. Everything seems as fine as it’s able for Margot. Her mother is distant, emotionally abuse, and she raises herself. But she wants a family, she wants to know where she came from. Then as she finds the freedom she’s… Continue reading Burn Our Bodies Down, Rory Power
The Safe Place, Anna Downes
As the blurb promises, Emily is indeed a mess. She’s klutzy, she talks too much when she gets nervous, and she’s a bit of a drifter who has trouble keeping a job. But this new job her boss sends her to is perfect. Gorgeous house, property, and an amazing friend in Nina, it’s everything she… Continue reading The Safe Place, Anna Downes
Mayhem, Estelle Laure
The blurb and other reviewers are comparing this to The Lost Boys, something I’ve never seen. Perhaps I should watch the movie? But I think maybe because I hadn’t seen it that I enjoyed this more than others. Mayhem lived in a crappy situation at home, which has expanded into every other aspect of her… Continue reading Mayhem, Estelle Laure
The Shadows, Alex North
I dug the dual timelines and the fact that it had to have been tricky to alternate the narrative from first person to third person when weaving the past and present. It’s not complicated as other reviewers are claiming, rather it was masterful; more on that later. I can see why Paul would want to… Continue reading The Shadows, Alex North
The Girl From Widow Hills, Megan Miranda
This one came to me from Simon & Schuster, and once I started it, I didn’t want to put it down. I requested to review this one because, I too am a sleepwalker, and I loved the idea of things going so fantastically awry for Arden. Miranda wrote her suffering so well. The combo of… Continue reading The Girl From Widow Hills, Megan Miranda

On his way home from work, Gabe sees his five-year-old daughter Izzy in the car ahead. But it can’t be her because she’s at home safe with her mother. He tries to follow the car but ends up pulling over to call home to make sure. What he learns is far worse than he… Continue reading The Other People, C.J. Tudor
Wild at Heart, K.A. Tucker
I immediately started this after finishing The Simple Wild, which was a mistake on my part, because then it meant I couldn’t properly review the first book. But, I’m glad I didn’t let any time slip between the two books as I’m giving this one 4.5 stars because it left me with so many good… Continue reading Wild at Heart, K.A. Tucker
