Book Review – First Lie Wins: A Novel by Ashley Elston

By Leave a Comment

First Lie Wins: Reese’s Book Club: A Novel by Ashley Elston <— Okay… this one was a fun one!! Psych-thriller and all of the exciting (and scary!!) elements that goes with it, and what I loved, is that we’re following the story through the eyes of one of the villain (or I should say villainess – which I love!). AND it kept me guessing, AND I was wrong at the end, and I loved that!

I was told to go in blind and I totally did, so if any of you like twists and turns and surprises and having NO clue what’s coming, then yes, go in blind and consider this part, my mini review. —> 4.5 STARS!! read more

By Leave a Comment

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO READ? MY BOOK TWIN Tasha J absolutely loved this one and couldn’t put it down!

Tasha J: I picked up The Thrashers, which I bought in early summer, and my daughter inhaled it. And had me looking up lists for more of it and wishing for a tv show/movie. Told me to read it.

Well, my tbr is insane. But, it automatically marked it as read on my goodreads and that counts as my personal challenge book so I thought, now is the time, it’ll be quick, I’ll read and rate it.  Well, I stayed up way too late last night and am also inhaling it. read more

By 2 Comments

Jessica (in our Facebook crew) needs our book help! Oooooooh I think I already know which one she’s looking for and it ROCKED OUR VERY DARK BOOK WORLDS right around that exact time!!!

There was a time when I read a BUNCH in this trope ’cause I was shocked and appalled and absolutely couldn’t put this kind of crazy story down. So it could be at least 3 or 4 of the books I’ve read but I’m pretty sure it’s…

She asks:
