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.

Book 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!
Read moreBook Review: Promise Boys by Nick Brooks
I love a good young adult book from time to time, and what drew me first to Nick Brooks’ Promise Boys, was the stark contrasting cover. In a bright red you see three boys, but then the eyes have been torn out and you can see that they are boys of color. That gives this murder mystery another layer of intrigue.
Read moreBook Review: Assassins Anonymous by Rob Hart
Who knew I’d be on such an assassin kick? All I know is that it’s the end of the year and I was struggling to come up with something enticing to read. A quick internet search did bring Rob Hart’s Assassins Anonymous to my attention, though.

With a book titled Home Is Where the Bodies Are plastered onto a VHS sleeve, you know I picked up Jeneva Rose’s book as soon as I saw it.
Read moreBook Review: Crash & Burn by Abigail Roux
It’s a little hard to believe I’ve reached the end of Abigail Roux’s Cut & Run series with the ninth and final installment, Crash & Burn. I think I lost some appreciation for these along the way, but I was still really looking forward to see how everything panned out in the end.
Read moreBook Review: Disclaimer by Renee Knight
Admittedly, I had never heard of Disclaimer by Renee Knight before seeing an Apple+ series being advertised about it. With an incredible cast led by Alfonso Cuaron, I was intrigued to check out the source material first, even it goes against my basic media consumption policies.
Read moreBook Review: Armed & Dangerous by Abigail Roux
I think I’ve said this since reading the first book, but I cannot get enough of this Zane Garett and Ty Grady series by Abigail Roux. While she did collaborate on the first three novels with Madeleine Urban, Armed & Dangerous was her first outing alone.
Read moreBook Review: Middle of the Night by Riley Sager
After Riley Sager’s abysmal The House Across the Lake, I kind of have trust issues with him, though his last book and the latest, Middle of the Night, have him squarely back in the same camp as before. Actually, I’d like to think that Sager was able to get just a little bit of the supernatural shoe-horned in here. A compromise I can live with.

Now that I’ve found the Cut & Run series, I cannot stop. And thankfully, Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux have plenty more novels for me to devour! Heck, Divide & Conquer is only the fourth of nine! And that’s not including two novellas! I’m excited.
