Skeletons in the Attic: A Marketville Mystery

Skeletons in the Attic follows the storyline of Callie’s investigation into her past after her father passes away suddenly and leaves a note telling Callie that her mother was murdered when Callie was a child. The concept of this book was intriguing. Initially, there were a lot of twists and turns that kept me flippingContinue reading “Skeletons in the Attic: A Marketville Mystery”

To Have or to Hoax

“He knew that she knew. Or rather, he knew that she knew that he knew. It was enough to give any man a headache, truly.” To Have and to Hoax is predictably loveable and entertaining. The storyline is essentially written out in the summary of the book, and it naturally follows the stereotypical “man andContinue reading “To Have or to Hoax”

The Wicked Redhead

This is the second installment in the Wicked City series by Williams. I’ve read that the majority of her books are written to be in series but you don’t have to read the series to understand each book – that’s NOT the case with this series. I enjoyed this book a lot more than TheContinue reading “The Wicked Redhead”

Cruella

Cruella is now streaming on Disney+ for all subscribers! If you haven’t watched this yet, I highly recommend it. I’ve consistently enjoyed every backstory for the infamous villains Disney produces (i.e. Maleficent), but Cruella lived up to my expectations as well. It starts off a bit more fantastical than one may expect from this typeContinue reading “Cruella”

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Wow. When I first opened this book, I couldn’t figure out how this pathetic, woe-is-me, weak, yet slightly likeable character ever turned in to the horrid, evil, awful President Snow in the original Hunger Games trilogy. This book follows the story of young Criolanus Snow mentoring the District 12 girl in the 10th Hunger GamesContinue reading “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”

The Wicked City

Yes. That’s right. This book received a 3.75/5 stars. This was the first book I’ve ever read by Beatriz Willaims, but certainly not the last. I enjoyed her style of writing, which was descriptive, but not overly so. The two main characters, Ella and Gin, had depth and the idea of a dual storyline wasContinue reading “The Wicked City”

The Secret, Book & Scone Society

ADVANCE APOLOGIES FOR THE LONG RANT POST- Lots to unpack…if you don’t want to read the full review, scroll to the last paragraph to see why I gave this 2 stars! I so badly wanted to like this book. The ‘cozy mystery’ genre is one that I have recently discovered and occasionally use to cleanseContinue reading “The Secret, Book & Scone Society”

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

 This book has intrigued me for the past several years. I’ve never gotten around to actually adding it to my “want to read” list, since I had never really bothered to learn too much about it. However, my local library had it available as an audiobook, so I started listening to it during work/chores. TheContinue reading “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”
