Drunk Driving & Consequences
Lois Duncan’s I Know What You Did Last Summer in preparation for watching the reboot with my sibling. Honestly? I was disappointed; however, I attribute this to having watched the film first. While I can appreciate a good psychological thriller, I am human, so this was a meh for me.

Pheromones & Feral Blood Lust
Zoo was a lackluster read for me. The plot was two-dimensional with little character development. In this case, the TV show was much better than the novel. Honestly, I don’t have much to say besides the fact that I was disappointed.

Dead Girls & Pretty Liars
After watching a good part of the Pretty Little Liars television series, I wanted to give the book series a try. Honestly, I was disappointed. I thought they dramatized the story for TV, but nope, it was equally as dramatic.

Fate & Locked Safes
I listened to Audible’s adaptation and the way Audible adapted The Safe Man was captivating. The eerie music and sound effects mixed with the phenomenal acting of Jack Quaid and Titus Welliver, this audio experience was *chef kiss*

Mystery Parties & Curious Enthrallment
I read Kill Joy with my friend after we had already finished the series (whoops lol), and all I can say is the only reason I put it down was that it sparked ideas for my own for a murder mystery party! I loved the game’s storyline of a 1920s murder mystery.

Serial Killers & Vigilantes
Holly Jackson’s As Good As Dead was a WILD ride. The plot took a turn I NEVER saw coming! Trust me when I say only Holly had the map during this journey. I was just along for the ride screaming. This book left me reeling, spiraling, and bereft. 5/5 recommend.

Grief & Undue Blame
The ROLLERCOASTER of emotions that As Good As Dead gave me, had me on edge the entire time. The ending had me sobbing! My heart broke for some of the characters’ ending. Definitely had to take a few days to emotionally recover, if I’m being honest as well as dramatic.

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.

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.
