I was lucky enough to receive this as an ARC. McDonald always writes wonderful characters. In this, you want to cheer on Emma even when she’s doing something sketchy. She’s flawed and has made mistakes in her past. McDonald is great at building moral conundrums with her readers. Because we inherently want things to work… Continue reading Do No Harm, Christina McDonald

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.

The Bright Fish, James Ward
I was glad I checked the genre and reviews before starting this because the blurb makes this sound like it’s just a bizarre mystery. The genre says metaphysical, and that isn’t quite apt.

This is another book that I bought digitally and then grabbed it on sale at the bookstore. I really need to… Continue reading The Third Twin, CJ Omololu
