Something to Remember: Prequel to Forget Me Not
Something to Remember: Prequel to Forget Me Not

Review:I will not restate the plot nor reveal any spoilers in this review.
Usually a prequel gives you an idea of whether the following book is of interest. In this case, Something To Remember (a prequel to Forget Me Not) is not a book to my taste. It is classified as a dark romance but its subject matter is too dark for me. Without giving away any spoilers, Something To Remember is a lead-in and, therefore, is not a stand-alone book. Unless you enjoy a dark romance and have intentions to read Forge... Read more

Remember Me This Way: A Novel
Remember Me This Way: A Novel

Review:The storyline was pretty slow with only a couple subpar twists. I purchased it because of all the Gone Girl comparisons but this book doesn't even come close. It's worth getting to help pass the time but by no means is it a thrilling "page turner." Read more

The gripping psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist.

Review:I think this was Lynda Renham's first psychological thriller and I was skeptical because I love her romantic comedies so much I wasn't sure she could Wrote another genre as well. I was proved wrong. I really enjoyed this book and the twists that came with it! Read more

Review:I really wanted to like this book. Loved the setting, the writing style, the characters and most of the plot. I say most, becauuse *SPOILERS AHEAD* that precognition thing made my brain hurt and I couldn't really follow the intricacies of its workings, or even understand what was not to understand and where the understanding ends... it just seemed messy to me, and the ether-thing really didn't make things better for me. Maybe it is that I am not a native english speaker, but at the end the book ... Read more

Review:Another excellent piece of work by John Irving. If your an oldie and retired like me and didn't have time to read Irvings work back in your working days, this is a good one to catch up on. You won't want to put it down. Read more

After You'd Gone

Review:I was very impressed with Maggie O'Farrell's writing style, being her debut novel. It is hard to pull off a storyline that jumps back and forth between different characters and time lines, and although some did not seem to care for it, I think she pulled it off wonderfully. I was so involved in these characters, particularly Alice and her mother. I truly cared about what happened to them and couldn't wait to read more. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the "shocking event" that Alice experi... Read more

After You (Ever After in Sapphire Falls)

Review:The next installment of Sapphire Falls: After Hours is finally HERE!!!! I have been waiting to sink my teeth into the unflappable story of Dr. Kyle Ames for some time now and boy-oh-boy Erin Nicholas did not disappoint. Kyle and Hannah's story is funny with plenty of LOL moments, super sexy with the HOT ALPHA Doc and a great book about second chances, there are also heartbreaking moments between these two when they realise just what they lost and maybe just what they should've fought harder for....
