I read this on the cover alone, which draws you in as much as the story. Imagine Frances, with rather low self-esteem and feeling left out. As a stay-at-home mom, she gets lonely. She doesn’t see a place in the Forrester mom’s world. That’s why meeting Kate changes things. She now has a friend and… Continue reading Her Pretty Face, Robyn Harding

The Memory Watcher, Minka Kent
I recently read The Stillwater Girls and thought I would read some more of Kent's work. The thing we know most about social media is that not everything is as it appears. People only tend to share the good parts. Those good parts are what lead Autumn to everything she does and gives us The… Continue reading The Memory Watcher, Minka Kent

But she’s also… Continue reading The Wife Upstairs, Rachel Hawkins
The Stillwater Girls, Minka Kent
I borrowed The Stillwater Girls from Amazon Prime when it came up as a recommended read. The idea of girls raised away from civilization had a promising premise, and the book didn’t disappoint. I became oddly fascinated at the strict rules imposed on the girls, on how naïve they were, and wondered why a single… Continue reading The Stillwater Girls, Minka Kent
Banshee, Maxine Miley
The author was kind enough to send me a paperback, and this small book packs a punch. Told through an interview with Candor, he tells his history with Banshee and what brought us to the point he needs to tell his story. In a dystopian US taken over by “the Orange”, things aren’t easy for… Continue reading Banshee, Maxine Miley
The Good Sister, Sally Hepworth
This is a book that sucks you in and makes you suspicious, right from the start. Because of how easy it would be to spoil this, I will keep my review short. Hepworth built this fantastic atmosphere that has you anxiously waiting for the shoe to drop. While I suspected what was happening, it in… Continue reading The Good Sister, Sally Hepworth
The Girl in Cell 49B, Dorian Box
Last week I reviewed book 1, The Hiding Girl. You can read that review here. I received this book as an ARC from Bookish and worried that I wouldn’t be able to follow the story because it’s the second book in a series. I bought book 1, and raced through it because I loved it… Continue reading The Girl in Cell 49B, Dorian Box
