Max Marshall’s non-fiction debut, Among the Bros: A Fraternity Crime Story, sets out to uncover the truth about Xanax dealers at the College of Charleston, but what he finds instead is so wild I thought this story was the basis of a movie I watched within the last year called, The Line. Yes, there are probably many truths within that movie, but it is a work of fiction at its core, whereas the mess that Marshall discovers is all real.

Book Review: Guardian Vol. 2 by Priest
As I write this review for the second volume of Priest’s series, Guardian, I realize how long it’s actually been since I finished it. Which is a shame, because I would really like to start the third and final novel soon. Anyway, let’s see what I can remember of this book!

Sometimes if I’m running dry on ideas for what to read, I do find it enjoyable to find inspiration at a local book store. Am I likely to purchase titles I’ve never read before? Not usually. Especially if I’m unfamiliar with other works from an author. But as I was walking the aisles of my local bookstore, the cover of Liann Zhang’s Julie Chan is Dead caught my attention.

If I do recall, it did take me some time to get in the groove of the writing style of the Case File Compendium series. The same is the case for this new series, Guardian, though it’s by a completely different author in Preist. Though to be fair, this author has a pretty deep bibliography. And I also didn’t realize how long this particular series has been around! It’s also been adapted into a show back in 2018! Crazy.

Since I rely on a yearly entry from both Riley Sager and Ruth Ware, I went into her new novl with absolutely no information about it. Heck, even the title, The Woman in Suite 11, was a mystery to me until my sister had it sitting on our kitchn counter one day.

Honestly, I hate myself for reading the most recently released Case File: Compendium novel. Now I have to wait until October to get the next installment!

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.

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!
