Preview - The Anniversary by Alex Finlay
The Anniversary Alex Finlay Copyright 2026 322 Pages We’ve got ourselves a small‑town serial killer, folks. I know — statistically this should never happen, but here we are, clutching our mugs of lukewarm diner coffee and whispering theories like we’re auditioning for a true‑crime podcast no one asked for. In this delightfully horrifying tale, we follow Jules and Quinn through their post‑high‑school “we survived but at what cost” era as they try to cope with the crimes that h

Full Rating and Review - Yesterday by Caro Claire Burke
Yesteryear Caro Claire Burke Copyright 2026 391 pages Alrighty, this one did not stroll down the path I thought we were taking. I expected a gentle wander through influencer drama, maybe a little light chaos, and instead we took a hard left into what in the farmhouse fever dream is happening. Tradwife influencer turned actual tradwife turned… well, someone who’s cracked under pressure like a farm‑fresh egg dropped on a hot skillet. We open with Natalie filming her “perfect fa

Preview - Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Yesteryear Caro Claire Burke Copyright 2026 391 pages Well, well, well… the universe delivered us the most practically perfect momfluencer to ever grace a ring light. According to herself — and only herself — Natalie has crafted a faith‑soaked, hand‑embroidered, ethically sourced childhood for her family. “Perfect,” she says. Repeatedly. So repeatedly it stops sounding like a descriptor and starts sounding like a nervous tic. The kind of tic you hear right before a time bomb

Full Rating and Review - Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh
Kill for Me Kill for You Steve Cavanagh Copyright 2023 338 Pages Okay, 4 stars for this one. Maybe even 4 and a half. I’d read it again — which, if you know me, means this book basically crawled out of the pages, slapped me across the face, and said “respect me.” This story had me spinning in circles going “wut??” like a toddler who just discovered dizziness. The twisty‑tangly who’s‑who of it all? Art. Ruth = Wendy = Naomi = possibly your neighbor’s cousin wearing a metapho

Preview - Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh
Kill for Me Kill for You Steve Cavanagh Copyright 2023 338 Pages This book gets me on board with murder in record time — like, “didn’t even stretch first” record time. And here’s my usual disclaimer: it’s fiction, therefore I am legally, morally, and spiritually allowed to say unhinged things. Step right up, folks, today’s special is Murder Swap. Honestly? New theme unlocked for your next white elephant party. Granny might clutch her pearls so hard they snap, though. Maybe ke

Rating and Review - The Club by Ellery Lloyd
The Club Ellery Lloyd Copyright 2022 305 Pages I’m kicking the door down with spoilers because… obviously Ned is dead. You knew by the end of chapter 1 that this man was not surviving Launch Weekend. He had the energy of someone who confidently walks into a lion enclosure holding a steak. Did he really think he could blackmail a bunch of rich people and then just… vibe? Absolutely no shot. That’s not bravery — that’s natural selection doing its job. Honestly? Deserved. RIP to

Preview - The Club by Ellery Lloyd
The Club Ellery Lloyd Copyright 2022 305 Pages We open with a dead body before chapter 1 even shows up to work. The author didn’t just drop us into the story — they shoved us face‑first into a murder scene like, “Surprise, babe!” And listen… this murder? Art. An underwater restaurant? The vibes must’ve been immaculate if you could ignore the corpses doing a slow‑motion interpretive dance overhead. Imagine paying for a luxury dining experience and getting a side of floating de

Full Rating and Review - Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth
Mad Mabel By Sally Hepworth Copyright 2026 344 Pages Five stars and a bouquet of roses for Mad Mabel — and honestly, someone go ahead and embroider her name on the June Hall of Fame because I somehow stumbled into three five‑star reads this month. The bar is rising, the stakes are high, and Mabel is hanging off the top rung upside down like a feral acrobat who refuses to age gracefully. Spoilers incoming. If you haven’t read it yet, avert your eyes and go peek at my preview i

Preview - Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth
Mad Mabel By Sally Hepworth Copyright 2026 344 Pages I’m only on page one, and I’ve already decided that if I don’t grow up to have the personality of Mabel, I’ll simply pack my things and go live in the woods as a failure. She is hilarious. Not “exhale slightly through your nose” funny — I mean full‑volume, unattractive cackling. And I’m barely past the opening chapters. I’ve said it before, but spicy old ladies are my Roman Empire. My comfort genre. My emotional support dem
