Review: The Death of Us

Image
The Death of Us by Abigail Dean My rating: 5 of 5 stars incredible on audio. truly can't recommend enough. this is a really hard to read and sad story about a marriage that falls apart after a truly horrible incident. the wife tells the story from the past, the husband tells the story of the present when the criminal is finally caught. It's a character study. It's quiet and hard to read. but really really excellent. one of the best I read this year. View all my reviews

Review: Wild Animal

Wild Animal by Joël Dicker My rating: 4 of 5 stars also took me a while to get into this one. i don't know if it's my attention span or these books are hard to listen to. either way loved the way it came together and kept me on my feet the whole time. View all my reviews

The Midnight Knock by John Fram My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4 stars for being unlike anything I've read before. this one was hard to keep track of and only got crazier from there but also one of a kind. View all my reviews

Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashino My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 stars interesting, funny but also too over the top? trying to hard maybe? I might have come into this one with too much hype making it harder for me to love it. View all my reviews

Review: This Must Be the Place

Image
This Must Be the Place by Maggie O'Farrell My rating: 4 of 5 stars It took me a while to get into this story and follow all the characters. but once I did, I could not let it go. O'Farrell really is an excellent excellent writer. This book finally helped me make the decision that I have to read all of her stories now. How lucky am i? View all my reviews

Review: King of Ashes

Image
King of Ashes by S.A. Cosby My rating: 4 of 5 stars For reasons I don't know, I kept postponing reading this novel. But when i was in a slump this week i finally picked it up and i am so so glad I did. It's excellent. Grimy like crosby tends to do but also excellent, well-developed characters, fantastic writing and a great story. View all my reviews
