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 Giveaway: Vox by Christina Dalcher
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Vox, one of the most hyped and anticipated books of 2018. I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to join this blog tour and I'm equally excited to share my thoughts with you! "Monsters aren't born, ever. They're made, piece by piece and limb by limb, artificial creations of madmen who, like the misguided Frankenstein, always think they know better." If ...
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 ...

Blog Tour: You All Grow Up and Leave Me by Piper Weiss
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for You All Grow Up and Leave Me. I was immediately drawn in by the blurb and cover. The true crime buff in me couldn't resist this book about a young women's experience with Gary Wilensky, a child predator who preyed on the young of Manhattan's elite families in the 1990's. I have to be honest. This book is a tough one for me to review. There were many ...

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: In Every Moment We Are Still Alive
"On the middle shelf in the bathroom cabinet lies Karin's hairbrush. Her hairs are still snagged in its plastic teeth. She didn't have time to prise them out and throw them away as she usually did. The brush is thick with hair, I smell it, I press it to my mouth." In Every Moment We Are Still Alive is full of beautiful, poignant passages. Tom Malmquist's grief upon suddenly losing his wife ...
Blog Tour: Girl Unknown
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Girl Unknown! This book is unique in many ways. The first is that Karen Perry is actually a pen name for two writers collaborating on this book. This is the first book, to the best of my knowledge, that I've read penned by two authors and it definitely worked here. Most of the book is told in the alternating first person points of view of Caroline and ...
Blog Tour and Giveaway: Odd Child Out
Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for Odd Child Out! This is another book that first caught my attention at Book Expo 2017. Though I hadn't read What She Knew, the first DI Jim Clemo book, I had absolutely no problem at all reading this book as a stand-alone. Odd Child Out drew me in straightaway. It is a very steady page-turner. There are several reasons for this but the first is that this ...
Blog Tour and Giveaway: The Way to London: A Novel of World War II
I'm very pleased to welcome you to my stop on the blog tour of The Way to London. As many of you know, I'm always up for what's new in WWII fiction and books set in England so I was very pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the tour. The Way to London is very much a character driven novel that provided a fresh and somewhat lighter read than many WWII novels already on my shelf. The ...
