I was so glad to hear that there was a sequel to Lies I Told because, although it didn’t end in a cliffhanger, I still wanted to know what would happen to Grace. The period after their crime is exposed is confusing and with her brother in jail, she is still with the man […]

Ten Thousand Skies Above You By Claudia Gray
I am always skeptical going into a second book, perhaps even more so if I really loved the first book. Ten Thousand Skies Above You, much to my delight, provided more twists, more traveling, and more thoughtful romance that I could have hoped for. I’m not sure I have ever read a book with a […]
A Madness So Discreet By Mindy McGinnis
A Madness So Discreet was one of my must have ARCs at the Texas Library Association convention and has been highly anticipated by many readers. I am here to say that ti was worth the wait. You see right away that Grace is not mentally ill, but she is under an emotional strain so tremendous […]
A Sense Of The Infinite By Hilary T. Smith
Annabeth lives for her friend Noe because, in many ways, Annabeth hates herself. The easiest way to escape that hatred is to throw her life into someone else’s and Noe’s larger-than-life personality was an easy escape. Annabeth’s struggles and the emotional weight she shoulders is below the radar of the adults in her life, […]
The Bookseller By Cynthia Swanson
The Bookseller is being compared to Sliding Doors, and it definitely had that feel to it. In one life, Kitty owns a small, barely successful book store with her best friend.

Anatomy Of A Misfit By Andrea Portes
The first thing that drew me to this story was the voice. Anika is raw and funny, sparing us none of her thoughts, no matter how awkward or confused. Even when they made me cringe, I was glad that her unfiltered way of narrating the story was so strong because I think it really […]
The Miniaturist By Jessie Burton
Amsterdam of the 17th century was one of lucrative trade, strict religious practice, and an underbelly of indulgence. All of these aspects seemed to also exist within the Brandt household and serve as the three central motivations for the characters in The Miniaturist. The setting was vividly explored, not only in the city of […]
Into The Dark by Alison Gaylin
Into The Dark is a follow up to And She Was, and like its predecessor, it artfully combines intricate mystery with a personal story. The Iris Neff case pushed Brenna into the limelight, which both works for and against her. In this book, a mysterious performance artist has […]
