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 ...

Thanks to Atria/Emily Bestler Books for providing me with a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After all, ...

Review of “Summit Lake” by Charlie Donlea

November 18, 2015 by Ann Marie Leave a Comment

Thanks to Kensington Books via NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The murder of law student Becca Eckersley is brutal. Clearly a crime of passion committed by someone who either loved or hated her very much. Beautiful and smart, she was not lacking for male attention. But finding out who is responsible will require some creative and ...

Review of “Lost Girls, DI Kim Stone #3)” by Angela Marsons

November 16, 2015 by Ann Marie Leave a Comment

Thanks to Bookouture via NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Though I hadn't read the first to novels in this series, I had great hopes for this book based on the description and the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. While the basic plot was intriguing - plotting the parents of two kidnapped girls against ...

“Hanover House” by Brenda Novak

October 23, 2015 by Ann Marie Leave a Comment

Thanks to the Author, Brenda Novak, for providing me with a free copy of this book via NetGalley. Okay, I admit that Investigation Discovery is my favorite TV channel. I love true crime books and great crime fiction. I had really, really high hopes for this book. Sadly, they didn't pan out. Reading previous reviews, I had come to expect some really heavy, psychologically thrilling content ...
