Riley Sager’s new book, With a Vengeance, kind of snuck up on me! Which is actually pretty stupid given that he’s released a new book in June for the past several years.

Book Review: Case File Compendium, Vol 4 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou
I obviously was just kidding myself by saying I was going to work other books in between Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou’s Case File: Compendium series. With the fifth novel already at my doorstep, I immediately grabbed the fourth volume off of my bookshelf and dove in head first.

I was only trying to fool myself when I said I was going to bake other books in between Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou’s Case File: Compendium novels. Knowing that a fifth book is due out the second week of the month was enough for me to move straight onto the next novel.

I feel like I’m being really smart with spacing out these Case File Compendium novels. Once I got my hands around the translated writing style, I really couldn’t put the first volume down. The same goes for the second!
Read moreBook Review: The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
I’ve seen the book cover for The Housemaid all over the place – both physically and through my phone screen, so naturally I’ve finally read Freida McFadden’s insanely popular novel. Did it help that it’s getting a big screen adaptation? Absolutely.

Read moreBook Review: The Swell by Allie Reynolds
I remember back when Allie Reynolds’ The Swell was first released. It made its way into People magazine, which I think is a pretty big deal, and the premise sounded intriguing, but for whatever reason it made it onto my reading list, but I never got around to actually reading it until I saw it in the bargain section at my local book store.

Grady Hendrix is an author who kind of snuck up on me and has become one of my favorite authors out there! I like that he’s not cranking out novels like clockwork like Riley Sager or Ruth Ware (not that I’m complaining about that). He’s seems to be busy, but a man of the people – his fans.
Read moreBook Review: Fault Lines by Emily Itami
Admittedly, I picked up Emily Itami’s apparently critically acclaimed debut novel, Fault Lines, I did so because of how short it looked. As my friend said, “sometimes there’s nothing wrong with a short novel.” And she’s right. I actually really, really enjoyed this!
