Cold Cases & Small Town Minds
·
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder left me wanting more, and thankfully, there is! I enjoyed the way Jackson ended each chapter with some type of evidential entry to the case, and the way it kept me guessing. The plot moved a bit slowly at first, but it picked up quickly.

Mommy Issues & Peer Pressure

Tastes Like Candy 2: Sugarless was an amusing and intriguing read… I found the split parts incredibly interesting. I especially enjoyed the way Tholen showed Dusty’s, our MC of part 1, descent into a full-blown psychopath, as well as the way an outside influence can play a role in that fall.

Murder & PTA Moms
·
Big Little Lies was an entertaining enough read. It was a little too slow for me and way too much drama for my liking. Moriarty did well with the glimpse she gave into toxic and abusive marriages, how women deal with extramarital affairs, and how other parents deal with child bullies.

Murder & Dog Lovers

In Samantha Downing’s Sleeping Dogs Lie, Shelby worked as a dog walker in Northern California, and she’s just finished up her biweekly trip to the park with a husky named Pluto. When she brings him back to his house, she finds his owner dead, Todd Burke, on the bathroom floor.

Old Bones & Crumbling Secrets
·
Buried Deep was a whirlwind. I’m still reeling at the ending and how cavalier the main character was being. When news of her husband’s missing ex resurfaced after 25 years, Maggie was determined to find out what happened to her.

Childhood Love & Chaotic Devotion
·
I enjoyed Skin of a Sinner; it was the perfect dark romance to cleanse my palette in between reads. The conflict of wanting and not wanting a Roman Riviera in my life is intensely real. Definitely one of those type of men who only make it in a fake universe.

Karma & A Killer Mascot
·
Out of all the slashers I’ve read, Most Likely To Die was one of the ones with the highest body count. This killer slashed his way through THIRTEEN people. Absolutely savage. Most Likely To Die was a gory, thrilling, and glorious ride. I loved the surprise ending and that the bullies got their punishments.

Blackmail & Arranged Marriages
·
Ana Huang’s King of Wrath was not only an immensely enjoyable read, but also eye-opening when it comes to the family dynamic within Chinese and Asian culture. While I found the views of women archaic and infuriating, I’ve also discovered a newfound respect for women in these cultures and dynamics. 4/5 Recommend.

Spooky Parties & Deadly Clowns

There’s No Way I’d Die First was underrated; I happened to love this plot, the kill scenes, the ending, and all the references! I loved the shitty people who got slaughtered, and I loved the main character and her thought process through all this horror. 10/10 would recommend to slasher lovers!
