My Thoughts: So this was one of my top anticipated books of 2018! I really loved Erin Bowman’s Vengeance Road and Retribution Rails so I was psyched to find out she was coming out with a sci fi! Unfortunately… I was really let down! You know when you’re watching a bad movie and everyone is just making bad decisions left and right and you’re sitting there thinking of COURSE you’re going to do that. Like the scary movie when the […]

Why Did I Read? I’m all for thrillers. I like the suspense and this sounded super intriguing: I mean, missing kids, missing memories… I was excited to read this! My Thoughts: This story is told in different POVs, some in the POV of some of the returned missing kids and one from the sister of the kid that didn’t return. I thought it was a really interesting concept. However… this one didn’t really work for me. What I really need […]

Review: The Long Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Why Did I Read? I have been anticipating this since I read The Fixer last year! There were questions that needed to be answered! My Thoughts: (There will be no spoilers for The Long Game but may be a SLIGHT–very very slight– spoiler for The Fixer in my review!) I really enjoyed The Fixer, I thought it was a great political intrigue thriller and kept me glued to the pages. However, its sequel just plain blew it out of the water! I’m not sure what […]

The Sound: I really enjoyed the narrator for this one! I think it helped set up just the right atmosphere for the book because her voice of Grace seemed spot on to me. She really brought to life all the secondary characters. I think my enjoyment level would definitely have taken a dive if I had read and not listened to it on audio. The Story: That being said, while I enjoyed the audio narration, the story was a little […]

Why Did I Read? The premise sucked me in! I love a good thriller! Plus, I really enjoyed Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ book The Naturals! My Thoughts: So basically I should go watch Veronica Mars and Scandal ASAP because I really enjoyed this one! And if those two comparisons are accurate, then I bet I’d love those shows too! In The Fixer, Tess is shuttled off to live with her sister in DC. The change is abrupt and she’s not a fan of […]
