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 »

Mila believes she possesses superior abilities compared to others in defending against the invading forces. Unlike in England, France, and America, where women's roles were... Read Full Review »

The Maid
Author: Nita Prose
Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-25
This Canadian debut by Nita Prose deserves four stars! It's a fun and cozy mystery that kept me guessing. Molly the Maid is an intriguing character, and I couldn't always tell if I could trust her. She's the kind of character that will make you want to give her a hug one moment and shake her a bit the next.
This book is perfect for fans of light and cozy mysteries, and it has a satisfying ending. I really enj... Read Full Review »
And Then You Were Gone
Author: R.J. Jacobs
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 »

Catch Me

Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-14

Years later, she's finally made a good life for herself when her best friends are murdered, one by one, on the same date, exactly a year apart. Charline knows she's next. She knows how and when she will die, but she has no idea who the murderer is. This book explores different themes su... 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 »
