Blog Tour: From Inside the House by WD Jackson-Smart

November 13, 2019 by Ann Marie 1 Comment

Blog Tour: From Inside the House by WD Jackson-Smart

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for From Inside the House by WD Jackson-Smart. When I heard that Emma at Damppebbles Blog Tours was organizing this one, I jumped on it! Who doesn't love a good serial killer story with seemingly innocent victims? I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint! There was a lot I loved about this book but first things first. I know... there's something to be said for ...

Blog Tour: The Stranger Inside by Lisa Unger

Okay, friends, I'm going to let you in on an embarrassing secret. This is my first Lisa Unger book. There is no good reason for this. It just happened to have worked out that way. I've always wanted to read one of her books. So when the opportunity came up for me to join the blog tour for The Stranger Inside, I jumped on it! Welcome to my stop. There was a lot to love about this book. I'm ...

Blog Tour: A Girl Named Anna by Lizzy Barber

Blog Tour: A Girl Named Anna by Lizzy Barber

Welcome to my stop on the bog tour for A Girl Named Anna. I knew upon reading the synopsis that this was going to be one I'd have to read. I have a bit of a thing for mysteries revolving around strange and powerful religious cults. Books involving child abductions almost always prove to be emotional and gripping reads. I went into it with fingers crossed that one with both would be a win-win. I ...

Blog Tour: Deserve to Die by Miranda Rijks

Blog Tour: Deserve to Die by Miranda Rijks

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Deserve to Die by Miranda Rijks! When Emma at Dampebbles Blog Tours sent out the synopsis for this one, I was immediately drawn to it. Who can resist a good domestic thriller that includes a couple with the perfect marriage living the perfect suburban life with a "patient, systematic, methodical" femme fatale thrown into the mix? NOT this girl! What did ...

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Layover by David Bell

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Layover by 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 Review: The Cold Cold Sea by @LindaHuber19 #LoveBooksGroupTours

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 ...

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, ...

Mini Review: The Storm King by Brendan Duffy

March 18, 2018 by Ann Marie 4 Comments

Mini Review: The Storm King by Brendan Duffy

The Good: Cover - It's one of the most beautiful covers I've seen in a long time. Atmosphere - Greystone Lake is the perfect setting for this book. The atmosphere is picturesque and immediately ominous. Writing - I found Brendan Duffy's writing style to be straightforward and easy to read. It was smart without being pretentious and very descriptive without being flowery. Pacing - For ...
