    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You’re Not Supposed To Die Tonight took a turn I wasn’t expecting… In a good way! I loved the haunted camp attraction idea! This aspect, accompanied by all the horror references, left my spooky-loving heart so happy! Overall, I recommend this book if you love slashers, supernatural twists, and dumb teens!

    Welcome to Camp Alpine Lake, a summer camp for teenage wealth… The Counselors was a fun, engaging murder mystery that was filled with mischief, twists, drama, and that campy, small-town feel I love in mysteries! Definitely one of my new favorite mystery reads! Definitely a must read for those wanting nostalgia.

    Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets was your average teen thriller with a lot of build-up and a mediocre ending. This plot line had so much potential, but it fell flat. I felt like there could’ve been more. The characters were well-developed, the setting was believable, and the writing style was decent.

    Dead Husbands & Reticent Widows

    Young, Rich Widows was dramatic suspense that was dripping in secrets, twists, and murder. Thrilling and engaging, this was absolutely worth the listen! Dirty lawyers, mafia bosses, missing money, and a stupid kid. Told from the alternating perspectives of each widow, Amazon Audible did an amazing job at casting the narrators.
