The Husband Hour had a slow start for me. Even though I didn’t really know much about the storyline, I expected to instantly be sucked in to the story because I had heard such positive reviews. A lot of my early struggles stemmed from the main character, Lauren. A little weak and desperate, Lauren is …

I’ve Got My Eyes on You
A recent high school graduate headed for Princeton, a young man with intellectual disabilities, and a random tow-truck driver all have one thing in common. At some point, they are suspected for the murder of Kerry Dowling. Kerry, an athletic and vivacious graduate, decides to throw one last party before all of her friends head …
Lawn Boy
Disclaimer: F-bombs are heavy handed. In most ways, Mike Munoz and I are very different, but we still have a few similarities. A biracial landscaper, Munoz, is tired of playing the game, and I get it. He’s tired of telling people what they want to hear. Tired of being what people think he should be. …
Then She Was Gone
Guys, Lisa Jewell is just talented. There’s really nothing else I need to say. She just is. She has the ability to create these tangled webs that instantly suck you in. You may remember, but the first book I reviewed on the blog was I Found You by the same author. I’ve suggested this book …
A Whisper of Bones
A Whisper of Bones was less of a whisper and more of a scream. What you would expect to be only one storyline ended up being multiple stories tied into one. It honestly seemed like too many stories in my opinion because there was so much going on and so many characters to keep track …
How to Be Safe
How to Be Safe is one of those books that makes you question the writer with every page. Who is this guy? What was he thinking? Is this story a reflection of who he is as a person? He says so much without ever really saying anything. He makes political references, race references, and religious …
Dear Mr. Knightley
When I first posted a picture of this new read on Instagram, a friend from college messaged me and told me she had read the novel in a book club and that she enjoyed it. I had never heard of it before that day, which amazed me. There are so many writers out there and …
The Identicals
Guys, I miss spending time with the Frost twins… You know when a book is such an easy read and you begin to feel like you are actually a part of the story? That’s how I felt while reading The Identicals. The sisters and their issues were ones I felt I should help to solve, …
Watch Me Disappear
There are a few things in life that get me super giddy and books are one of them! A few weeks back, I thought I was going on a morning coffee date with my sweet hubby, but all of a sudden, he whipped the car into the Houston Public Library – Heights location. For weeks, …
The Couple Next Door
I won’t lie; I wasn’t completely sure how The Couple Next Door was going to go. Obviously being a suspense nut, I was intrigued by the storyline, but I was probably more drawn into the pages because of the cover. The cover is nothing special, but the light creeping in from behind the woman creates …
