Author: michele

My name is Michele. I have been a long time book lover. I live in Watertown, SD. I'm married and have 5 kids and 2 grandkids. My favorite genre is mystery/thriller. But I read all genres. I am in 4 book clubs and my TBR is never ending. Do I hide new books from my family when I bring them home....maybe! So this page is a judgement free zone!

March 4, 2026March 4, 2026 michele

Just know this book is going to haunt me. I will be thinking about it for a while. And also? READ THIS. Because I need to discuss it with someone immediately. The Caretaker follows Macy Mullins, who takes a mysterious three-day caretaking job she finds on Craigslist. It feels ominous from the start—like a fisherman’s… Continue reading The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer

Over Her Dead Body by H.J. Garbett

February 27, 2026March 4, 2026 michele

Over Her Dead Body is a quirky, darkly humorous thriller that puts a wildly creative spin on the classic serial killer cat-and-mouse story. Ruth Watkins used to be an ambitious journalist chasing the story of a serial killer known for a chilling calling card. But when her best friend becomes the latest victim and the… Continue reading Over Her Dead Body by H.J. Garbett

The Name Game by Beth O’Leary

February 23, 2026March 4, 2026 michele

Beth O'Leary delivers such a clever and heart-filled premise in The Name Game — because what could possibly go wrong when two Charlie Joneses arrive on a tiny island of 500 residents… to manage the same farm shop? Charlie Jones (she/her) lands on the Isle of Ormer ready for a clean slate and a peaceful… Continue reading The Name Game by Beth O’Leary

My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney

February 21, 2026February 16, 2026 michele

My Husband’s Wife is one of those thrillers that starts off quietly unsettling and then completely takes over your brain. At first, I wasn’t sure where this story was headed. You’re dropped into a situation that feels strange and disorienting, and you just kind of sit there thinking, Okay… but where is this going? And… Continue reading My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney

Saoirse by Charleen Hurtubise

February 19, 2026February 16, 2026 michele

Saoirse completely surprised me—in the best way. I’ll be honest: based on the cover alone, I didn’t think this book was going to be for me. But once I settled into the story, I found myself deeply invested. The novel begins slowly, but that pacing is intentional, allowing space to build Saoirse’s world and gently… Continue reading Saoirse by Charleen Hurtubise

What We Did to Survive by Megan Lally

February 17, 2026February 16, 2026 michele

What We Did to Survive by Megan Lally is the kind of thriller that crawls under your skin and refuses to let you relax. After loving That’s Not My Name, I went into this one expecting similar vibes—and wow, did it deliver… and then crank the tension way up. A spring break trip to a… Continue reading What We Did to Survive by Megan Lally

Left Of Forever by Tarah DeWitt

February 12, 2026March 4, 2026 michele

"I think it's arrogant to think the stars and moon can affect the tides but not have an affect on me. Some things are just more powerful than we are. " Second-chance romances are usually hit or miss for me, but this one was an easy win. Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love young,… Continue reading Left Of Forever by Tarah DeWitt

The Shippers by Katherine Center

February 10, 2026March 4, 2026 michele

I always love a Katherine Center book, so I dropped everything to read The Shippers the moment I got my hands on it—and I’m happy to report that it absolutely delivered. Right from the author’s note, Center tells us exactly what kind of story this is going to be: a happily-ever-after romance. “This book will… Continue reading The Shippers by Katherine Center

Once and Again by Rebecca Serle

January 22, 2026January 26, 2026 michele

Once and Again is one of those books that quietly sneaks up on you. When I first started reading, I was convinced it would land firmly in three-star territory—interesting enough, but nothing that would linger. And then, somewhere along the way, I found myself unexpectedly invested. At the heart of the novel is the Novak… Continue reading Once and Again by Rebecca Serle
