Wow! Just wow! The story revolves around three families in a small town called Melville. When a gruesome murder takes place in the town, the families are forced to spill the dark secrets harboured in them. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers.

Another fantastic story by one of my favorite authors. T. Kinfisher creates such a fun world that you can get to be immersed in for 436 pages. A womderful combination of human wit and romance, this sotry keeps you on your toes the whole way.

The Alchemist

5 stars I’ve been in a reading slump for about a month or two, so I wanted to pick up a short book to start with. The Alchemist is a book full of wisdom. It is a book that is very direct in telling you to follow your heart and Personal Legend before it’s too late. It urges you to think of your dreams and what you wanted in life. It shows you that just because fate is written one way, your heart can lead you to the path of what you desire. It gives the sense of being and how everything happens for a reason and everyone has a purpose on this planet. And not only those lessons, but the people who can help bring you along, set you back or challenge you to prove yourself of these Personal Legends.

This Could Be Us

I loved this read. This book had me hooked from the first chapter. I can truly say that Kennedy Ryan has provided something so special and beautiful for women of color through this book and has further opened the door for the inclusion of neurodiverse/autistic characters. This story made me laugh, cry(multiple times), feel seen, understood and as a hopeless romantic, has opened my mind to being content with loving myself wholly without relying on love from others. I would love to see this story turned into a movie, it is amazing!

Millennium Series Book 7 I have read all of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. This book was the first by this author. It was not as good as they others.

I love every new character in this series! With every chapter comes a new question to be answered and a game to be played. Everything, from the plot, to the new characters, are impeccably written! Can't wait to see where this series goes next! Eagerly awaiting the next book.

Heartwarming and a great narrative by the amazing author. I had my goose bumps moment. I had also my tear filled moments. Everytime I think about this author’s writing it brings in me a sense calm and all rounded feeling which I find very difficult to explain iin totality for the fear of losing its genuinity. A must read for daughters out there who forever wished to have had a King in their lives.

Rules of Civility

I liked this novel, but I didn’t love it. I enjoyed the setting, NYC in the late 1930’s. I enjoyed the main characters, but felt there were too many minor characters to keep track of. I wasn’t a fan of the way the dialogue was presented, although the back and forth comments between the friends was witty and clever. It left me with a lot of questions. I thought the best quote of the book was Katey’s response to a friend’s comment . . . If the next thing you are about to say will make YOU feel good, you probably shouldn’t say it. She didn’t heed her own advice very often! Katey was quite the character. Whatever her motives were, she was a strong woman who understood what she wanted in life and didn’t stop until it was within her reach.
