Kaceey’s Review: Looks like Lila’s past just caught up to her! So…Is she ready to face it?  Lila has a new job with the prosecutor’s office.

The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish @louise_candlish @AtriaBooks @NetGalley #thriller #mystery #fiction #blogtour #bookreviewers #bookbloggers

Kaceey’s Review: Jamie has taken a job somewhat below his skill set (at least his partner Clare thinks so). All the same, Jamie is happy working the cafe with not a care in the world. Well, except his commute. But that’s about to change! Jamie and Clare befriend a young couple Kit and Melia hopingContinue reading “The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish @louise_candlish @AtriaBooks @NetGalley #thriller #mystery #fiction #blogtour #bookreviewers #bookbloggers”

Susanne’s Review: A Fast-Paced Thrill Ride! Jordan Briggs is a no holds barred satellite radio talk show host. She’s known for taking no prisoners.  Little does she know she’s about to get played and the game is a deadly one. The minute she takes a call from a man named Bernie, everything changes and IContinue reading “A Caller’s Game by J.D.

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood @MargaretAtwood #dystopia #gilead #pearlgirls #handmaidstale #fiction #bookreview

Susanne’s Review: A Return to Gilead in “The Testaments”: It’s both Insightful and Frightening and it takes place 15 years after “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Who holds the power in Gilead?  It’s the Aunts of course! Why should I be surprised?  After all, Aunt Lydia is terrifying and she has more power than anyone else.   InContinue reading “The Testaments by Margaret Atwood @MargaretAtwood #dystopia #gilead #pearlgirls #handmaidstale #fiction #bookreview”

Kaceey’s Review: This was one of my most anticipated reads for this year! I absolutely loved the previous two books by this author and had been sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for this newest release by Abby Jimenez. Maybe my expectations were too high? Maybe when you want something so badly itContinue reading “Life’s Too Short by Abby Jimenez @AuthorAbbyJim @GrandCentralPub #forever #romcom #fiction #bookreview”

Close Enough to Touch by Colleen Oakley @OakleyColleen #contemporary fiction #fiction #bookreviewer #bookcommunity

Cherish by Tracey Garvis Graves @tgarvisgraves #fiction #romance #audiobooks #bookreview

Susanne’s Review: Swoon-Worthy Detective Daniel Rush from “Covet” gets his own story and it’s a doozy!  At the tail end of “Covet,” Detective Daniel Rush was shot and readers are left wondering what happened to him.  To say that gave me heart palpitations is an understatement!  (He was after all the best part of thatContinue reading “Cherish by Tracey Garvis Graves @tgarvisgraves #fiction #romance #audiobooks #bookreview”

Six Weeks to Live by Catherine McKenzie @AtriaBooks @NetGalley #suspense #bookreview #bookblogger

Kaceey’s Review: I had such high hopes for this book.  I love this author, and the premise sounded so good. But it just didn’t work (for me)…at all. Jennifer just got the dreaded news. She is dying from cancer. A glioblastoma. One of the most aggressive of all Cancers. She is given six weeks toContinue reading “Six Weeks to Live by Catherine McKenzie @AtriaBooks @NetGalley #suspense #bookreview #bookblogger”
