Pretty Revenge? More like Petty Revenge. I really couldn't understand why these grown women were acting so childish and immature.

Pretty Revenge by Emily Liebert

Who hasn’t wanted to get revenge on someone at one point or another? Most of us don’t act out this desire, but we will get to watch as on one woman gets her revenge on a woman who she looked up to and wronged her. I am dying to know what happened and what Kerrie is going to get revenge on Jordana for!


Her Deadly Secret by Laura Griffin is intriguing, guile and a must read for anyone who loves murder with a side or romance when reading.

Her Deadly Secrets by Laura Griffin

Typically when I read a novel where the heroine is a private detective things lean more toward the comical side, but this new novel from Laura Griffin is definitely going to skew into the dark and gritty side and I for one am here for the ride and unraveling why someone wants to kill Kira!


Temper by Layne Fargo

I’m going to be frank with you, I’m not really sure what is going to happen in Temper, but it feels like it’s going to be a juicy, unsteady read that is going to keep me in hanging in limbo!


A Merciful Promise by Kendra Elliot

The final book in the Mercy Kilpatrick series, is sure to keep you on edge, with not one, but two cases. One case is leading up to a terrorist attack and the other is looking like a serial killer, with Mercy willing to risk her life to keep everyone safe.

One Night Gone by Tara Laskowski

I am so excited to read One Night Gone, the cover intrigued me, but the blurb for this one really got me! It’s like reading a ghost story in a way, the main character vacations in a house that a girl had been killed in years before! Goodness, this will be perfect for reading around a fire on summer evening.



I had so many questions right up until the end of Layover. It's such a riveting tale and like nothing else I have ever read before!

Layover by David Bell

The premise of Layover is FREAKY! Can you imagine have a great time and having a strong attraction to someone you just met on a plane and then the next thing you know you see that person had been reported missing? That is what’s happening in Layover and OMG! It gives me the creeps in the best way!


The Starter Wife by Nina Laurin

Just reading the blurb for this one sent chills down my spine! I don’t know what I would do if I found out that the woman my husband had married first had either disappeared or died, but then to get a phone call from her looking for something from me. I’m sitting here wanting to know what the first wife is looking for and wow. Give me this book now!


The Last Widow by Karin Slaughter

My step mom is constantly telling me that I need to read Karin Slaugher’s books and I am ready for this one! Romance. Death. Explosions. Kidnapping. Love. Undercover. Those are my trigger words. You put all of that in one book and I am freaking sold.
