Review of Tall Oaks by Chris Whitaker

December 19, 2016 by Ann Marie 6 Comments

Tall Oaks

My Review I was really looking forward to this book, based not only on the description, but the outstanding reviews; many of which came from trusted fellow bloggers and Goodreads friends. I'm always a little insecure when my opinion is so different but I suppose it's bound to happen now and then. After all, we can't be expected to agree on every book, right?? Tall Oakes started out well ...

Events, years after they've happened, leave faint fingerprints that linger and change the surface of places over time." A murdered clown. An unknown murder weapon. A surprise ID. A pregnant lead investigator. Her partner with questionable professional ethics. ...

Review of “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” by Iain Reid

November 8, 2016 by Ann Marie 2 Comments

I'm Thinking of Ending Things

I read I'm thinking of Ending Things a few weeks ago while my blog was being redesigned. As you will read below, I had a strong  negative reaction to it. I wrote this review for Goodreads and was hoping I might have warmed a little to this book with some time and a few good reads in between. This has not happened and so the review stands as originally written: This was a very quick read and it ...

Review of “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch

November 7, 2016 by Ann Marie 4 Comments

Holy weirdness! This book is as strange and compelling as a book can be! I wasn't sure what to expect when I began Dark Matter. It was much-hyped at BEA and I'd seen all of the rave reviews but still... I'm not even a sci-fi fan. Sure, I love a little Stephen King or Dean Koontz now and then. (Who doesn't??) But it has to be good. Really good. Weird enough to be interesting but not weird enough ...
