Reviews Done Quick My Lovely Wife will twist your mind and give you whiplash. I love a good domestic thriller, but Samantha Downing’s book was unhinged. The book had good pacing and snappy dialogue. Unfortunately, the characters were underdeveloped and unlikable. Therefore, despite the plot keeping me on the edge of my seat, I really […]
Don’t Open Your Eyes by Liv Constantine is the perfect summer domestic thriller. It is a poolside book to get lost in.

First Impressions Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll has been compare to Gone Girl but I thought it is more along the lines of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. Impressions While Reading At first, I thought the novel would focus on Ani’s rape and how it affected her […]
First Impressions The first sentence in The Grownups by Gillian Flynn includes the words “hand job”. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. What direction will the story take? To be frank, it was a turn-off. Impressions While Reading The Grownups was odd, to say the least. An unnamed psychic who knows how to […]
First Impressions Minette Walters novel, The Cellar, is all-consuming with a child’s disappearance. The beginning opens a Pandora’s Box.
