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.

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!

Haunted Carnivals & Long Tongues
I enjoyed Tastes Like Candy immensely. The plot takes a little to start off, but whew, once it does??! Unmatched. I loved the atmosphere, the brutality of the killings, and even the crazed motive. However, it did frustrate me as the killer was an unhinged narcissist. One of my new favorite slasher!

Valkyries & Chocolate on Demand
The majority of A Court of Silver Flames focused on Nesta’s healing journey as she came to terms with her new immortality, and her father’s death. Throughout the story, my feelings about Nesta were conflicting. I understood her sadness and her anger; just not her cruelty. Her character development was rewarding, though.

90s Slashers & Time Travel
How to Survive Your Murder has become one of my top favorite slasher novels yet! I ADORE the homage to 90s slashers!! Riddled with references and easter eggs, the plot leaves you at the edge of your seat with anticipation as Valentine feeds you scraps before the delicious main course.

Steep Mountains & Comatosed Girls
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.

Fae Marks & Hot Springs
What Lies Beyond the Veil was the perfect smutty fantasy read I needed. Loads of amazing spice while still maintaining world-building and lore. I listened to the entire series on Audible, and it had quite the chokehold on me! Caelum reminded me of Henry Cavill’s drool-worthy character, Geralt from The Witcher.

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.
