Recursion by Blake Crouch My rating: 5 of 5 stars Personal Rating: A+ AMAZING! This Book Absolutely BLEW MY MIND! and then the last line of the book just ended me, so completely! Blake Crouch is now officially one of my favorite authors and I can't wait to read more. What an introduction to an amazing mind. I don't want to give a single spoiler to this book. I was kept up nights working through the logic trying to find flaws in this story - it's flawless! It kept me in a whirlwind where I didn't know which way was up - in the best possible way. BRAVO - More Blake Crouch PLEASE!!! View all my reviews

The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon My rating: 4 of 5 stars Personal rating: B+ I was looking for Creepy, Scary, all the eerie vibes that I could find when I suggested this book as a buddy read with my friend. And although, the Creep factor never fully developed, there were some glimpses of it, and I thoroughly enjoyed this read without it. Especially the parts of the book that were from Sara and Martin starting in 1908. I could have read the whole book about them and Gertie - so good. This book was more supernatural and less scary than I thought going in, but still an excellent storyline with a great dark atmospheric vibe. There were a lot of characters in this book and I struggled at times to keep them all straight - i do think a couple of them could have been dropped from the story (Candace) and it would not have negatively affected the story. Jennifer McMahon is now a go-to author for me. I plan to read the Drowning Kind this year and I am so excited to read more by her. Vie...

Know My Name by Chanel Miller My rating: 3 of 5 stars My Personal Rating: C, Average My view of this book is not a popular one. I wanted to give my self some time to sit with it and see if my feelings have changed. While I do believe that Chanel Miller should absolutely be able to tell her story, and what happened to her is tragic and should happen to no one. I didn't feel that the quality of the story/writing or the inspirational value of the book itself was a 5 star experience. I felt it to be repetitive and not as inspirational as I had read in so many reviews. I also understand that this could be a generational thing, I know that many millenials found this to be very inspirational. View all my reviews

Home Before Dark by Riley Sager My goodreads rating: 4 of 5 stars My Personal rating: 3.5 Stars - 7/10 (B) ENJOYABLE This is my introduction to Riley Sager as an Author. I had heard so many good things about his writing and they are all true. He is an excellent writer - What I will say is that I adored this book until the ending. The ending just fell flat for me. There were too many red herrings that just made things confusing and then truth was disappointing. It was just not what I was hoping for in an ending but can appreciate what this book had to offer. I thought it was eerie and spooky and held my interest, wanting to know more. The story gives the right amount of intertwining of the scenes out of the book in the story along with the current timeline. It was engaging and exciting to read and unveil. I still very much enjoyed the ride and will definitely read more of Riley Sager. View all my reviews

Malorie by Josh Malerman My rating: 3 of 5 stars 6/10 (B-) Good I wanted the same creepy and exciting feelings I had during Bird Box to be present here, and they just weren’t there. I enjoyed the continued story and learning about Malorie, it was unique and held my interest but BiRD BOX was so much better. There was only one moment in the story where I felt creeps - this is what I want from a horror novel throughout. View all my reviews

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood My GoodReads rating: 4 of 5 stars My Personal rating: A-, Impressive As I finished this book - I wanted to both throw it against the wall and immediately pick up the next one. It only scratches the surface of what I want and NEED to know more deeply. Each time I got invested it shifted gears and I thought more was to come... it was and it wasn’t. I’m both in love with this book and sad that I don’t have my answers. Give me 200 more pages in this book with the details that I need and it would have been 5 stars for me. I have not seen the Hulu series but now I believe it is time - I’ve been told that this will help fill that itch I have to know more of the details behind EVERYTHING. And I will be reading THE TESTAMENTS very soon! View all my reviews
