Review: Exit

Exit by Belinda Bauer My rating: 4 of 5 stars My favorite mystery novels are character-driven stories where there happens to be a mystery in the novel. This story by Belinda Bauer accomplishes the rare feat of being an interesting plot and character driven story. There's a reasonably convoluted plot that unravels in pieces but there's also deep and interesting character studies in this story. It's also really fast paced. Accomplishing all that in a single novel is quite hard. I really enjoyed this one. View all my reviews

Review: Heartbreak for Hire

Heartbreak for Hire by Sonia Hartl My rating: 3 of 5 stars 2.5 stars, rounded up. I have a lot of thoughts about this story. On the one hand, I will say that it was a quick and light read in that I read it in one sitting, and enjoyed the time I spent with it. On the other hand, I felt like most of the characters were not as layered as actual people are and this left the novel feeling not as enjoyable because everyone was playing a part in some ways. The really cold and distant mom (though she has a reason she's that way, don't we all?) to the point of cruelty.

The side characters were fun, light, interesting and added the color the story enjoyed. But th...

Review: The People We Keep

The People We Keep by Allison Larkin My rating: 5 of 5 stars What an absolute joy of a book to read. This is the story of April Sawicki who finally manages to run away from her hometown where she lives practically alone in a motorhome as her dad moves in with his new wife. She gets on the road with a car, a few trash bags of belongings and a little money. Her journey is hard, long, harrowing, uplifting, and joyous in parts. Each time she meets people and gets attached, she ends up feeling like she has to move on for one reason or another. She's always on the run, always untrusting, never wanting to let her guard down. But along the way, she can't help but collect some people who love her for exactly who she is. This is a wonderful story of friendship, the families we make and the people we keep. I've enjoyed every single minute I spent with it. with gratitude to edelweiss and Gallery books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest re...
