Review This year I have decided to read more true crime books and after reading this blurb I wanted to check this book out. The story had a slow start and I felt it focused too much on the little things that weren’t really relevant to the story. Then as I kept reading the story picked up and I can’t […]
Review So I am not really a fan of historical fiction novels but the cover and blurb made me want to check this story out. This story was told in slavery time and freedom time and both parts were hard to read. I thank God I was born when I was because I wouldn’t have lasted as a slave. Certain […]
Review Nina is a grifter with a conscience and has a very good reason for why she does what she does. Vanessa is your typical privileged kid turned social media influencer or is she? I did enjoy the story especially how the two main characters are connected to one another but I felt the book was about 100 pages too […]
Review This book was nicely written, family focused and introduced me into a new culture filled with a rich history. While reading, I felt like I was in the story fighting along with the squad. Some but not many of the phrases are written in Spanish so I did have to break out Google translate but that made the story […]
Book Review: Wow. This book. What. A. Dark. Twisted. Thrilling. Ride. So we have Patty Watts who has just been released from prison after serving five years for child abuse against her daughter, Rose Gold. With nowhere else to go Patty ends up staying with her daughter and all I can say is let the games begin! This book […]
Review I wouldn’t classify this book as a suspense novel. We do have women being killed in this story but the book focuses heavily on how society views and treats women. I felt like the murders were secondary and the main focus was about Clara and Lily finding themselves and starting over. The story also details the decline of Atlantic […]
Review I’m all about diversity which is why I wanted to read this anthology. In my opinion I find that the young adult genre does a great job with providing diverse stories. So as far as the anthology goes I liked some stories more than others. Some stories were well written and some stopped just when things got interesting. A […]
Review: Phew. This book had a lot going on at times and it was intense. This book was a little depressing if I am being honest. It touched on a death in the family. Child abuse. Dealing with prejudice, closed minded and racist people. It also talked about how being gay in the black comminuty is such a big taboo. […]
Review * I received a review copy from Bookish First and voluntarily provided an honest review* So after reading the blurb I decided to give this book a chance. Not going to lie when I first started reading this book I struggled. I had a hard time connecting to the story. Even though the story is told in Sawyer and […]
Review This book has been one of my most anticipated books of the year. I have read several books by this author which I have enjoyed very much. With that being said, I really enjoyed the first half of the story. It was intriguing and suspenseful. The writing sucked me in and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen […]
