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

The Guest List, Lucy Foley
This is a rather large cast with a ton of POVs. It is hard to manage until you get into it, but then you will have no problems keeping track because everyone has a very distinct personality. Foley lazily tells the story so you won’t get into the gritty things until later on in the… Continue reading The Guest List, Lucy Foley

Some Choose Darkness, Charlie Donlea
I read The Suicide House last month and didn’t realize it was a book 2 when I had requested it as an ARC. I am not a fan of people comparing books by the same author, but I feel it’s necessary here. The Suicide House was a 5-star read for me. It had several points… Continue reading Some Choose Darkness, Charlie Donlea

The Suicide House, Charlie Donlea
I didn’t know this was a book 2 when I requested it and I hadn’t read book 1, Some Choose Darkness. I found you need not have read it to follow along, but I loved this one so much that I will go back and read it now. This book was simply amazing, yet there… Continue reading The Suicide House, Charlie Donlea
