The Girl Who Was Taken

Author: Charlie Donlea

Book review added by Nora on 2024-03-24

While I'm normally careful with my book purchases, especially for new authors, the rave reviews convinced me to take a chance when this title went on sale. Unfortunately, the book fell short of expectations.

It took a while to get invested in the story and characters. The perspective alternated between characters, primarily following medical examiner-in-training Livia. Her scenes were bogged down with excessive c... Read Full Review »

And Then You Were Gone

Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-21

I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. For a debut novel, R.J. Jacobs did an incredible job. The pace was fast, and the narrator, who has bipolar disorder, was portrayed so well. You could really feel the internal struggle she faced. I couldn't quite connect with any of the characters, though. Maybe that was intentional. Overall, it was an interesting read. It didn't completely lose me, but I wasn't fully invested ... Read Full Review »

What She Left

Author: T.R. Richmond

Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-14

A disappointing book from T.R. Richmond. I initially loved the idea of this book. I liked how the story was told from different points of view. I enjoyed that it was modern. But I could just not get into this book. The letters from Professor Cook were just too... I don't want to be confusing, but it didn't interest me, which is a problem as the story is mainly told from his perspective. Although the plot is intriguing,... Read Full Review »

Career of Evil

Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-13

I love the Cormoran Strike series, and I couldn't wait to read this one when it came out. Sadly, Robert Galbraith was not able to captivate me as much as he did with the others, although I can't explain why. The story begins with a delivery package to Robin Ellacott, who is horrified when she discovers a woman's severed leg. Now begins the third high profile investigation for Strike & Robin. With the leg, there's a not... Read Full Review »
