Book Review: The Black Queen by Jumata Emill

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 […]

Book Review: Eight Nights of Flirting by Hannah Reynolds

Thank you Penguin Teen for my review copy.

Book Review: I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney
