This is an enemies to lovers trope. This one also touches on mental health issues. I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. It felt very YA, except it had too many open door scenes to be a YA book. It just felt a bit immature and like it was written but someone… Continue reading The Plus One by Mazey Eddings

The Late Mrs. Willoughby by Claudia Gray
The suspenseful sequel to The Murder of Mr. Wickham, which sees Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney reunited, and with another mystery to solve: the dreadful poisoning of the scoundrel Willoughby's new wife. In all honesty, I didn't read the first book and it didn't affect my ability to enjoy this book. This can definitely be read as… Continue reading The Late Mrs. Willoughby by Claudia Gray
My Roommate Is A Vampire by Jenna Levine
This is a kooky, cute vampire rom-com. This is Jenna Levine's debut and she did an excellent job of entertaining me. This is a Flatshare meets Twilight type of book. Only much funnier and more ridiculous. This had me laughing so many times. Cassie Greenberg is an artist who isn't doing too well financially. She… Continue reading My Roommate Is A Vampire by Jenna Levine
Us Against You by Fredrik Backman
This is the follow-up to Beartown. I would suggest reading Beartown FIRST if you haven't read that before reading this one. This is about how a town can make hockey it's lifeblood. I felt like I could almost be living in this town. The excitement and tense feelings just jump right off the page. Have… Continue reading Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

The Postcard by Anne Berest
The Postcard was a great historical fiction, mixed with an autobiographical type story. This one left me shaking my head! THAT ENDING!! I didn't know if I should laugh or cry! The main character received a mysterious postcard with only four names on one side of the postcard. They are: Ephraim, Emma, Noemie, and Jacques.… Continue reading The Postcard by Anne Berest
Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
This is an enemies to lovers trope that is in true Hazelwood style and I couldn't get enough of it. This has the huge hunky guy. The smart, cute, little scientist. And it also had enough drama to hook me in. Elsie is a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. She has a job as an adjunct… Continue reading Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
This was a very strange book about Mexican horror films and Nazi occultism. I didn't know what to think of this one. I have read Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia but this one was a little different. This had such an odd and sinister feel. I felt like I was watching one of those old… Continue reading Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
