Welcome to Dead House by R.L. Stine

Welcome to Dead House by R.L. Stine

As a 9-year-old I loved the Goosebumps series and now, as a 29-year-old several times over I decided to reread this favored series of old. Welcome to Dead House made me feel my actual age. What I Liked I recalled R.L. Stine having a tendency to play with my mind; working myself up to know […]

Clawback by J.A. Jance

Clawback by J.A. Jance

First Impressions Clawback by J.A. Jance felt like it had been ripped from a 48 hours episode. With a financial scandal that ends in murder the reader can only expect twists and turns. Impressions While Reading Like in 48 Hours, the viewer always has an inkling of the outcome as the suspect is only interviewed […]

Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll

Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll

First Impressions Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll has been compare to Gone Girl but I thought it is more along the lines of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult.

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

First Impressions The first sentence in The Grownups by Gillian Flynn includes the words “hand job”. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. What direction will the story take? To be frank, it was a turn-off. Impressions While Reading The Grownups was odd, to say the least. An unnamed psychic who knows how to […]

Impressions While Reading Her captures, Ebuka and Metunde, known as Master and Princess to Muna are hard, bitter, and down right mean. It is very hard to shake. Although, as the plot progresses, despite getting his […]

First Impressions The Berlin Package by Peter Rivatook a while to get into and is a little more espionage than my usual fare, but once I got in the groove it was a very enjoyable read. The novel had an interesting plot that was action packed and left the reader little time to breathe.  I […]

Cold Betrayal by J.A. Jance

Cold Betrayal by J.A. Jance

First Impressions Cold Betrayal by J.A. Jance is the second Ali Reynolds novel I have read and like a good wine the series gets better with age. Impressions While Reading I thought the subject matter of polygamy, while maybe not original, was well established with an intricate web of action. Certain aspects were a little […]

What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross

What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross

First Impressions Growing up reading the Janie Johnson series obviously left an impression on me as I gobble up any novel that has a kidnapped theme to it. Thus, the premise is what first attracted me to What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross. Clearly, this topic has been done before, from The Face on […]
