The Husbands is Gramazio's debut and I thought this was such a great premise. This is one where you have to suspend your disbelief and just go with the story. But having one husband go into the attic and a different one return....now that grabbed my attention. Lauren came home to her London flat late… Continue reading The Husbands by Holly Gramazio
I have read all Emily Henry's books so this book was a no brainer! This is the forced proximity trope that I adore. This one starts out a little heartbreaking but it ends upbeat so it's worth the ride. This one starts out with Daphne and her then fiancé, Peter, telling the story of how… Continue reading Funny Story by Emily Henry
I think Mary Kubica is the queen of the twist and this book was no exception. I was reading this mystery/thriller and then it just hit me!

This was an eye-opening book! If you haven't read this one you SHOULD! I could not put this book down about the communist regime in Romania. In 1989, Romania is ruled by dictator, Nicalae Ceausescu. I didn't realize that was a fact. This is a fictional story but based in facts. Cristian Florescu and his family… Continue reading I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys
This was a murder mystery told in dual timelines. I love dual timelines and discovering things while the current story is taking place. I think this is for fans of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None & Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club. Frances Adams spends her life trying to prevent/solve her own murder. In 1965… Continue reading How To Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin
I re-read this one so that I could read the 2nd book and I remembered why I like Leigh Bardugo so much! This is an academic fantasy you could get lost in.

One day, she reads a poorly written, but gruesome, horror novel… Continue reading The Last Word by Taylor Adams
“It is hard to keep one's wits when faced with a woman as beautiful as the sight of shore to a man who has been lost at sea.” A shield maiden blessed by the gods battles to unite a nation under a power-hungry king—while also fighting her growing desire for his fiery son—in this Norse-inspired… Continue reading A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen
Murder Road is a typical St. James book. It's a mystery/thriller with a ghost story feel. Some people have to read her books with the lights on and this one is no exception. In the summer of July 1995, April and Eddie set out on what was supposed to be the romantic getaway, heading towards… Continue reading Murder Road by Simone St. James
