Summer Thrillers: Mini-Reviews
Summer is a great time for thrillers. Hot weather, vacation, and short attention spans are all made for engaging reading that moves fast. Of course, my expectations are higher, because humidity makes me cranky and we have plenty of it in Michigan.

She’s back with Where the Grass is Green and the Girls Are Pretty and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a world where entitled white ... Read More...

The book’s sequel, Majesty came out in September and I had it on hold at the library, but I finally gave up and bought it (gasp!) because I couldn’t wait any longer. Also, I’m really trying to support my local book store. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ AMERICAN ROYALS AND THINK YOU WILL(I highly recommend ... Read More...
