Seek the Traitor's Son by Veronica Roth My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm a Veronica Roth fan. I loved the Divergent series and loved having more of her voice and storytelling in this novel. For me, this was a much bigger undertaking and took a lot longer to connect to. I loved the intricacies and creativity of the world-building. Loved the strong and smart main character and loved the love interest, too and especially loved that neither the story nor the love interest were there as a token. The story in of itself was interesting and the characters were, too! I do assume there's more coming and it's a series. I am excited to read more of it! with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. View all my reviews

This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page My rating: 0 of 5 stars Another one that didn't keep my interest and I finally had to give up. This was fun for a while but also relatively formulaic :( View all my reviews

To Kill a Cook by W.M. Akers My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really enjoyed this one. I liked the narration, i liked the main character. It wasn't as funny as Finlay Donovan but it was interesting and i loved all the food details. View all my reviews

So Old, So Young by Grant Ginder My rating: 0 of 5 stars I am not rating this story because I had to walk away from it about halfway through.

107 Days by Kamala Harris My rating: 3 of 5 stars Read this for an assignment. It was interesting but not as deeply interesting as I was hoping it would be. Fast read and some thought-provoking bits. View all my reviews

That Night by Gillian McAllister My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love reading McAllister's books. Once I pick them up, I always know I will not be able to put them down. This was no exception. I was reading another story during vacation where I noticed that my attention kept wandering so I switched to this story and within seconds I was hooked and didn't want to stop reading until I was done. This is the story of what it means to be a family. A dysfunctional family that has become enmeshed through an early loss and now doesn't know how to untangle themselves. Then the unthinkable happens and they show up for each other. Of course, they show up for each other. But then. Then, they can't let it go. They start unraveling one by one, bit by bit. Their worst enemy is coming from within. The guilt eats at them. It colors everything and everyone they look at. And then they start questioning each other. And then it unravels even further.
