Review: The Finalists by David Bell

July 5, 2022 by Ann Marie Leave a Comment

3.25/5 stars Wow! I really struggled with rating THE FINALISTS. I'm a huge David Bell fan and had high expectations for this book. In some ways, my expectations were met or exceeded. Here's what I liked: 1)Pacing - This book was a page-turner. I read it in about 2 sittings. Short, cliff-hanging chapters for the win!2)Writing style - The Writing style was typical David Bell — smart while ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Passengers by John Marrs

August 27, 2019 by Ann Marie 1 Comment

Passangers John Marrs

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Passengers by John Marrs. I'd been seeing this one getting a lot of attention for weeks prior to being asked to join the tour so how could I possibly say no? Aside from that, I also found myself drawn to the futuristic plot which may or may not have anything to do with my childhood fascination with The Jetsons. Have you ever been in your kitchen and ...

Blog Tour Review: The Heart Keeper by Alex Dahl

July 16, 2019 by Ann Marie 2 Comments

Heart Keeper Alex Dahl

I'll first start by saying that I loved Alex Dahl's debut, The Boy at the Door. Therefore, it was an absolute no-brainer when I was asked to join the blog tour for her sophomore novel, The Heart Keeper. It would have been an immediate yes regardless of what she'd written. When I found out that this book was centered around a greiving mother who had chosen to donate her daughter's organs after her ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Layover by David Bell

Layover David Bell

Greetings, fellow readers! It's great to be back from my hiatus with a blog tour stop and giveaway for Layover by David Bell. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit this but, for whatever reason, I hadn't read any of his previous books. On the brighter side, that only made me more excited to read this one so I could see for myself what all the fuss is about. And see, I do! We start off with our ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: The French Girl by Lexie Elliott

February 27, 2018 by Ann Marie 17 Comments

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The French Girl by Lexie Elliott! I love an unreliable narrator and one that come with a whole host of suspect friends is even better! Add an old missing persons case and a newly found body and we have the makings of an engaging read, indeed! This book is somewhat unique in that there are several suspects and they all know one another. They're Oxford ...

Blog Tour & Giveaway – The Child by Fiona Barton

July 11, 2017 by Ann Marie 12 Comments

The Child by Fiona Barton

I'm excited and honored to be posting today as a stop on the blog tour of Fiona Barton's latest book, The Child. The Child was a quick and enjoyable read from start to finish. It's told from the perspective of four different woman and differs somewhat from many multiple-perspective books in that only one is narrated in the first person. This gives the book a bit of an unreliable narrator feel, ...
