This book was an interesting book with the title not really fitting the story in my opinion. The novel focuses on three unlikely friends, Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny and flashes between the beginning of their friendship at a prestigious college, Carlisle College, and then ends with the current situation of the present and a murder …
The Girl Before by JP Delaney
This book was a bit confusing to me. It went back and forth from Emma and Jane as narrators as they both had been tenants at One Folgate Street. Both characters are a bit unnerving and make some poor choices but their choices are a bit frustrating as a reader. The architect for One …
August end of summer reflections
At the end of every summer, I review our bucket list that we have made at the beginning of the summer and start to realize all of the things we did not get to do. This summer-we haven't taken the dog to swim at the local lake yet, we didn't have an adult party without …

Every day I get an email from BookBub giving me books that are free or on sale that are in the genres I like to read. A few weeks ago A Fatal Inversion by Barbara Vine came up as a suggestion. I read the summary on Amazon and on Goodreads and thought it sounded good. …

Julie Prentice is a bestselling author who has endured a stalker and moves her family to a suburb of Cincinnati to try to escape the harassment. …

Book review: The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda
The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda is the book following All the Missing Girls, although these two books are totally unrelated to each other. The Perfect Stranger just came out in April of 2017. I purchased it for $2.99 on my daily BookBub email in one day in May when it was on sale. This …

Book review: The Breakdown by BA Paris
I was lucky enough to receive an Advance Reader Edition of The Breakdown by BA Paris this spring. I was so excited because I absolutely loved Behind Closed Doors that I read last summer. I saved this book for the beach because I usually read on my Kindle, but I won't take the Kindle to …
