This post contains affiliate links. My thoughts: As a seasoned thriller reader, I just knew I had this plot figured out and I was so wrong. I did kinda call one person as sketchy and I was slightly right. Give a dog a bone here. 🤣🥴 Duchess faced several challenges because her dad was the first Black Police Chief and […]

What I Liked: Found family. Fun banter. Good chemistry. Twist that caught me by surprise. The importance of trusting and letting people in after you’ve been hurt. Sports romance that featured football which is my favorite sport.
Thank you Penguin Teen for my review copy. What I Liked: Hanukkah and the breakdown of each night. The holiday’s are pretty low key for me so I enjoy reading about over the top holiday celebrations with lots of family and friends. Shira’s transformation throughout the story. About the Book: A sixteen-year-old girl is on a mission to find the perfect […]
My thoughts: Jackal started off strong and then it lost me. There was a lot going on at times and then nothing at all. The book did take on an unexpected angle towards the end and I’m not really sure what the author was trying to do. This book does discuss social themes, but I did have a hard time […]
My thoughts: This holiday romance wasn’t just fluff and at times it dealt with heavy trauma from both characters. There were some funny moments as well to balance out the heaviness at times.

Thank you Forge Books for my finished copy. My thoughts: When I first started this book I didn’t think I would be able to finish as it had a slow start. So I took a break and restarted it a few weeks later and I ended up really enjoying this story. I did call the killer, but the motive caught […]
Thank you Bookish First & First Second Books for my free book. My thoughts: “ I wonder why our best meant not ourselves and why adults always told me so many things that did add up.” “ Be yourself, honesty is the best policy, and then don’t be yourself, be what other people want.” Good hair = Straight hair. “All hair is […]
Thank you @EpicReads for my free book. This story tackles important such as racism, passing, complicity and white savior complex. Notable Quote: And instead of holding the community at large accountable for their actions, everyone has continued to place blame on the real victim, creating a monster out of a young girl and using her legacy as a scapegoat to […]
