The Rumor is a novel of psychological suspense that examines the role rumors play in today’s society. It has a pretty strong moral message, but I never felt that the author was preaching. Instead, the situations in which the characters find themselves deftly tackle some of the most important questions of our time, handling things…
If you think too hard about it, Pretty Revenge collapses like an ill-constructed house of cards. While it starts as a compulsively readable slice of drama with some arch and fun moments, it turns into a weakly plotted mess with a ridiculous revelation and enormous plot holes that ultimately drag it through the dust. Kerrie…
Emily Liebert is an author who has been on my extremely long list of authors to check out for quite some time, so I was pleased to see Pretty Revenge, her latest thriller, available for review. It’s a fast-paced and gritty revenge novel, and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try. Kerrie…
I picked up a copy of Kelsey Rae Dimberg’s début novel Girl in the Rearview Mirror with extremely high hopes. I love stories that center around dark secrets, and the synopsis of this one promised a slew of those. Unfortunately for me, the story itself felt very anticlimactic, making this a novel I’m unable to…
If you’re anything like me, you probably roll your eyes and heave a giant sigh whenever you hear a new book being called ‘the next Gone Girl’. Don’t get me wrong, Gone Girl is fantastic, as are many of the novels that are compared to it, but few of these comparisons actually ring true for…
Originally published in the U.K. under the title No Further Questions, The Good Sister is the first novel from author Gillian McAllister to be published in the U.S. She has apparently written two others, but they’re currently only available in the U.K. Hopefully, this will change soon, since I loved pretty much everything about this…
Only Ever Her is the latest novel from author Marybeth Mayhew Whalen, and although it’s the first of hers I’ve read, it absolutely will not be the last. It’s a quiet story, the sort that sneaks up on you with its surprisingly deep insights and remarkably imperfect characters. Practically everyone in town knows Annie Taft….
If you’re looking for a good revenge story, you need look no further than The First Mistake, the second novel of domestic suspense from author Sandie Jones. I read it in one sitting, and it was a wild and twisty ride to say the least. It’s been nearly ten years since the man Alice considered…
Those People is the second novel by British author Louise Candlish. It’s the story of a once idyllic London neighbourhood that is turned on its head when a boisterous couple moves in, setting a motion a string of tragic events. Lowland Way, located in South London, is the kind of area people dream of moving…
When Dan asks Chloe to marry him, she feels as if all of her dreams are about to come true. Sure, they’ve only known each other a month, but Dan understands her in a way no one else ever has, and she can’t imagine living her life without him by her side. Of course, she…
