Susanne’s Review: My love for this novel knows no bounds, and to say that is not an easy thing, as the subject matter of this book is not one to be taken lightly and is not for everyone. All the Ugly and Wonderful Things tackles the relationship between two people, Wavy and Kellen. That relationshipContinue reading “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood @bryngreenwood #fiction #literaryfiction #adultfiction #bookreviewers”

Kaceey’s Review: One of my favorite audios of the year!🤩 A mass shooting at a popular, local bar in Boise. That’s right, Idaho! Where violent crime isn’t supposed to be and has never been front and center. And without warning… there it was. Cleverly told from multiple perspectives. Giving you a front-row seat, experiencing theContinue reading “No Hiding in Boise by Kim Hooper @KimHooperWrites @Dreamscapeaudio @NetGalley #fiction #mystery #characterdrivenfiction”

Susanne’s Review: A Slow Burning Character Driven Suspenseful Crime Drama that will have you holding onto the seat of your pants! What can I say about Blacktop Wasteland that hasn’t already been said?! The writing here is stellar and the characterizations are brilliant. Beauregard (Bug) Montage is a character with heart.

The Book of Magic (Practical Magic, #2) by Alice Hoffman @ahoffmanwriter @simonschuster @netgalley @edelweiss_squad #fiction #literaryfiction #magicalrealism #bookreview
Susanne’s Review: Alice Hoffman, you have surpassed my wildest expectations! With The Book of Magic, the fourth book in the magic series, Ms. Hoffman has accomplished what I consider to be an impossible feat. Writing a final installment, that is, in my opinion, better than all prior books in the series.

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”

Ian is totally Swoon Worthy and his love and affection for Kate is completely endearing. In case it’s not obvious, this book had me immediately! Witty Banter, Romance, and aContinue reading “Heart-Shaped Hack by Tracey Garvis Graves @tgarvisgraves #womensfiction #romance #characterdrivenplot #bookblogger #bookreviewer”

The End of Men by Christina Sweeney-Baird @ChristinaRoseSB @putnambooks @netgalley #fiction #characterdrivenplot #dystopiannovel #bookreview #bookblogger
Susanne’s Review: Wholly and Completely Brilliant. Yes, I read a book about a Pandemic in a Pandemic. Some would say that’s in poor taste, and yet, I couldn’t resist. I am not one to shy away from difficult topics and frankly, “The End of Men” is brilliantly written, brilliantly plotted, and gave me a lotContinue reading “The End of Men by Christina Sweeney-Baird @ChristinaRoseSB @putnambooks @netgalley #fiction #characterdrivenplot #dystopiannovel #bookreview #bookblogger”
