Goal

This one has that slow burn that simmers! It’s spicy, sweet, and rooted in deep emotional truths. The character growth, the passion, the unapologetic Black love—it all hits just right. A standout in the series for sure.

The Naturals

THIS BOOK IS A MUST-READ!! I can't believe that this book is not talked about more. I love the little blurbs between the chapters and the way they solve the case in the end. Can not believe the way that the psychology of the characters and the killer is ingrained in the book from the start. The characters are written beautifully and I will be continuing onto the next book.

Difficult Daughters

It's a powerful story about woman's search for independence, for finding an entity and desire to be educated. It is a gripping novel set in the days before the partition of India.

4 stars (originally 3.5 stars, but I changed my mind) As I said in my initial review, the author paints out scenes like laying paint on a canvas. I made sure to update my goodreads notes as I went along for this journey to know what to say. I originally rated this book 5 stars, it then went down to 3.5 for a few reasons: - Too many characters to keep track of, I felt it could’ve been slimed down a bit or instead make note of characters. (For example, not saying to take Morgana out, but mention her as Alex’s ex-wife and note some differences and reasons they divorced.) - The interrogations felt a bit like casual conversations, not so much as a police officer hard on getting information. Even at that it felt like Alex got too much credit at times even though it felt like surrounding characters did more work. - It felt that sometimes things were drawn out a bit or just slow, I felt that way with part 1. Other than those reasons I really did enjoy the book. The killer’s POV and life story really grabbed me. Honestly I felt that the story could’ve been from their POV the entire time or took up most of the book. At times I felt that there were things added for shock value, but the end (specifically part 4) tied it together for me and really made me like how this killer was written. This book as a whole is definitely differe from other thrillers. The characters are interesting and the motives are intriguing. I do plan on reading “The Rocks” by this author soon. Thank you to Celadon Books and Bookish First for an ARC of this book!

The Little Italian Hotel

Enjoyed reading the story of a woman who runs a radio talk show giving advice to people calling in. Unfortunately in real life, she doesn't think of herself and take her own advice. Especially liked the backdrop of some of the setting being in Italy and characters she met in Italy.

As usual Emily's books are light and enjoyable. Great summer read in addition to some serious issues.

OMG. this book is amazing. I can't believe that I haven't heard about this book more from other people who have recommended me mystery novels. The way the author keeps us guessing until the last turn of the book is a trait that I have not seen in many others

Endlewood

"Endlewood" is a wild ride that'll mess with your head in all the best ways. This book serves up a twisted blend of horror and fantasy that'll keep you guessing 'til the very last page, with characters so messed up you can't help but root for them.
