Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Overkill by Vanda Symon. There were many things that attracted me to this book. First off, cover love!! Next, it's location. I don't recall ever having read a book set in New Zealand. I was also excited to be starting with the first book in a new-to-me series. Oh, and the synopsis sounded great as well! Overkill begins with a prologue that was very ...

Blog Tour and Review: The Cold Cold Sea by @LindaHuber19 #LoveBooksGroupTours
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Cold Cold Sea by Linda Huber. Though reliably disturbing, stories about missing children never fail to attract my attention. When I had the opportunity to join the blog tour for this one, I couldn't say anything but YES! The Cold Cold Sea is told in the third person but straightaway events and twists brought the phrase "unreliable narrator" to mind. I ...
Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Trailing Spouse by Jo Furniss
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Trailing Spouse by Jo Furniss. I'm very happy to be sharing my thoughts on this book as I thoroughly enjoyed it! I've been on a roll - in a good way - with thrillers lately and this book was no exception. And can I just say... COVER LOVE! The Trailing Spouse is original in a number of ways. The first is the setting. I don't think I've ever read a ...
Review: Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage and Giveaway
Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, right? Thats what Suzette thought too... If you're a fan of thrillers, you've undoubtedly seen BABY TEETH everywhere over the past couple of weeks. It certainly one of the most hyped of the summer. Ninety percent of Goodreads reviewers rate this book between three and five stars. It obviously has a lot going for it. I'm not ...
Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Boy at the Door by Alex Dahl
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Boy at the Door. If your summer reading list is lacking something suspenseful and disturbing, (c'mon they can't all be light and fluffy) I highly recommend adding this book to your TBR. If Bravo were casting for The Real Housewives of Sandefjord, they would most definitely want to contract with Cecelia Wilborg. Socialite, designer, day-drinking ...
Review: Every Single Secret by Emily Carpenter
Straight out of the shoot, I knew I was going to like this one. I immediately questioned the reliability of the narrator and I was intrigued by the secrets Daphne and Heath were keeping from one another. What engaged couple agrees to never bring up their past? Not just their relationship past, but ever-y-thing. Living for the present is one thing, but if your finance is telling you they don't want ...
Book Review: The Sandman by Lars Kepler
Despite never having read Lars Kepler's previous novels, I had high hopes for The Sandman. In the end, it simply didn't live up to my expectations. That's not say it was all bad but the issues I had, which I hope I can articulate, were pretty weighty ones and really impacted my overall experience with the book. Perhaps one of the reasons that I was so disappointed is because this book had such ...
Review: The Bird Tribunal by Agnes Ravatn
I'm off to Book Expo later this morning but wanted to sneak in one more post before I go. This one is long overdue owing, for the most part, to my lack of technical skills. There is really no excuse but, you see, this is the first time I have successfully installed a Mobi file onto my Kindle. I will not say how long it took.My previous attempts all ended in frustration and wine. This time, ...
Blog Tour and Giveaway: The House on Harbor Hill
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The House on Harbor Hill! I was immediately drawn to both the cover and the blurb for this book. It's my pleasure to share my thoughts with you today. The Good: Setting - What's not to love about a sprawling, old home overlooking the ocean? Characters - All of the characters in this book are very complex. They all have bear the weight of a past they are ...
Blog Tour and Giveaway: Why Kill the Innocent by C.S. Harris
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Why Kill the Innocent by C.S. Harris! Though I hadn't read any of the earlier books in this series, I was so drawn in by the cover and the blurb that I couldn't resist. There were a few obvious references to events that happened earlier in the series but I had no trouble reading this one as a stand-alone. Though the book is set in 1800's London (a ...
