Accidental Witness, from the title alone, was my first hint this story would be up my alley. I bookmarked the book I was reading to just take a peek at Accidental Witness. Before I knew it, I had stayed up reading into the early hours of the morning. My respect for the next day demanded… Read more »

Menace by JM Darhower
Wow! The heightened suspense began early on, then at 84% the suspense level was knocked out of the park and continued right through until the final chapter. Initially, I regretted not having read this book earlier, then I hit the cliffy at the end and was glad I had waited so I could dive straight… Read more »
Kept From You by Nashoda Rose
A sweet Nashoda Rose? I didn’t know there was such a thing. Kept From You had its dark bits but I found myself smiling at the end which was a complete surprise. Things were not going well for Savvy, our heroine. She put her trust in the wrong man and got seriously screwed. After losing… Read more »
Red by SM West
Smoothly lured into a false sense of security by a fun and warm start I was a tad disappointed imagining I was embarking on a sweet romance. Then the drama hit, I saw Red beyond what I had first imagined. It set a rhythm for what lay ahead, a blend of drama, suspense and stolen moments… Read more »

Blood & Lies by Bella J
Wow, Blood & Lies is a challenging story. The opening paragraph began with a dramatic funeral scene that introduces us to Castello as he says his farewells to his father and brother. The momentum of the story slowed down a little after the start, and I settled into getting to know the other characters. I… Read more »
Taunting Destiny by Amelia Hutchins
I’m going to let my inner geek run loose for a minute. For me, Taunting Destiny is the Empire Strikes Back of the Fae Chronicles. The dark and emotional overtones that just settle on top of you while watching that movie is the same feeling I had while reading this. There was a hopelessness to… Read more »
Taking Turns by J.A Huss
“No girl with her shit together says yes to this kind of offer.” Well at least one girl does, or otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this review! I rarely consider beginning a review with a quote, but it echoed my thoughts after reading the synopsis and what went through my head prior to key revelations…. Read more »
Preppy Part Two: The Life and Death of Samuel Clearwater by T.M. Frazier

The trouble is, he has everyone worried, and it takes a lot to worry this crew, so that’s a concern in… Read more »
