You did see me review Glendy's newest book last week. So I am skipping around a bit, but this book is so beautiful, I wanted to share this review with you all. I feel confident that as of today, I can declare this my most favorite read of the year. The book had ups and… Continue reading The Light Through the Leaves, Glendy Vanderah

Insomnia, Sarah Pinborough
I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and started it the second arrived. I didn't put it down until 3 hours later when I turned the last page. The thing that drew me to the book is the title and subject, especially considering I've had chronic insomnia for 30 years. I know what it's like… Continue reading Insomnia, Sarah Pinborough
Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Sue Lynn Tan
“Was the fleeting joy worth the sorrow that came after?” I don’t know how to review this book! It’s everything special and incredible in the fantasy genre. The infused mythology makes this such a magical read. Xingyin is the strongest of heroines, one that you will cheer on from the very start. She is tested… Continue reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Sue Lynn Tan
Future Tense: Tales of Apocalyptic Vision, Michaelbrent Collings
I confess I don’t read enough short stories. I either read classics or a few in magazines from the author’s I follow. So when the request for Future Tense came into my inbox, I knew I would love it because I’m a fan of Collings’s work. I appreciate the author’s notes at the end of… Continue reading Future Tense: Tales of Apocalyptic Vision, Michaelbrent Collings
The Wedding Crasher, Mia Sosa
How lucky am I to receive an ARC of another superbly written, addicting read from author Sosa! The thing I love about her writing is that you can guarantee you're going to love the banter between characters. The tension between Dean and Solange is a slow-burn buildup, and when things finally work out, it's smoking… Continue reading The Wedding Crasher, Mia Sosa
I Know Who You Are, Alice Feeney
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and started reading it at 7:30 in the morning and finished it at 11. I’m not sure how I haven’t read Feeney yet, but she tells an enthralling story. I’m a fan of alternating timelines and was equally drawn to both of them. I’m not sure if… Continue reading I Know Who You Are, Alice Feeney
The Overnight Guest, Heather Gudenkauf
It would be easy to spoil this fantastic read, so I'm keeping my review rather vague. Told in alternating timelines and perspectives, we piece together the story of a 20-year-old crime that puts two best friends at the center. Gudenkauf pieces the story together, giving the reader just enough to keep them hooked. The setting… Continue reading The Overnight Guest, Heather Gudenkauf
Summit Lake, Charlie Donlea
So I’ve been lucky enough to be an ARC reader for Donlea’s newer works, and because I love his writing so much, I’ve wanted to work my way through his back catalog. This one is well-reviewed, so I want to get right into my thoughts. Told in alternating points of view, Donlea tells the story… Continue reading Summit Lake, Charlie Donlea
The Sign for Home, Blair Fell
“Sorrow has edges. The pain will end.” Wow, okay, this will be a challenging book to review because there is such a roller coaster of emotions involved in reading this. I started the book endeared to Arlo and his struggle, but I quickly grew enraged. I loathe, absolutely loathe, when people use religion to justify… Continue reading The Sign for Home, Blair Fell
The Golden Couple, Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
Avery is a therapist who has lost her license. But her skill at helping people overcome in just 10 sessions is unparalleled, and people are still lining up for therapy. When Matthew and Marissa come in for couples therapy, Avery is sure she can help them even if they aren't being totally honest with her.… Continue reading The Golden Couple, Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
