Our Vicious Oaths by: N.E. Davenport
Publisher: Avon and Harper Voyaher Publication Date: October 28 2025 First, a thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC, all opinions are my own. I don’t really know how to start this review because I was so let down by the book. I was excited when I read the blurb and when I actually started reading it, things felt like they were going fine. Until I started to get a…

Don't Let The Forest In by: CG Drews
Publisher: Macmillian Publication Date: October 29 2024 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own. This is another DNF. I couldn’t get through this book not matter how hard I tried. I put it down, picked it up. Put it down, picked it up. You get the picture. We follow two boys who have been best friends for a long time. They’re at a boarding school, one is an artist…

The Haunting of Alejandra by: V. Castro
Published by: Random House Publication Date: April 18 2023 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC. All opinions are my own. So I wanted to love this book. A generation La Llorona story sounded amazing. Unfortunately, I was unable to get very far and had to DNF this book. I will always be a loud proponent of trigger warnings. And this book needed them. I will add them…

Darkly by: Marisha Pessl
Published by: Random House Publication Date: Dec 16 2024 For starter, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC. All opinions are my own. Now, onto the review! Trigger warning for child abuse and suicide. Please tread carefully. So, I finished Darkly a while ago. Like, a while while. And I put off doing the review because for once, I wanted to ruminate on the story.…

The Changing Man by: Tomi Oyemakinde
Published by: Macmillan Publication Date: 9/26/2023 Firstly, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC. All opinions are my own. Now, onto the review. I wanted to love this book. The Changing Man had an interesting premise and I absolutely love gothic mysteries and settings. I’ve read Jane Eyre so many times I essentially have it memorized. If it’s gothic, it’s for me.…

Mister Magic by: Kiersten White
Published by: Random House Publication Date: 8/09/2023 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC, all opinions are my own. Onto the review. I cried at the end of this book. Closed my e-reader and literally sobbed. Mister Magic is about a woman who’s father died recently and the lies and darkness that lurks in a past she can’t remember. But it comes back to her in the form…

Published by: Clarkson Potter Publication Date: 9/12/2023 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC. All opinions are my own. Onto the review. I read this a while ago and absolutely adored it. The art had some heavy lifting to do, keeping up with the story itself. Kiersten White is one of my favorite authors and this story did not disappoint. The art uplifted the story and…

Here Lies A Vengeful Bitch by: Codie Crowley
Published by: Disney Publishing Publication Date: 8/06/2024 Firstly, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC. All opinions are my own. Now, on to the review. I was super disappointed and DNF’d this book. The premise sounds phenomenal and I dove right it. Triger warning for parental abuse further in the review. I don’t recall if there was a warning in the book…

The Lost Story By: Meg Shaffer
Published by: Random House Publication Date: 7/16/2024 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. To start off this review: I have no idea why this was classified as women’s fiction. The woman character is, in my humble opinion, not who the story is about. She is more there to facilitate the story of the two male…

The Honey Witch by: Sydney J. Shields
Published by: Redhook Books Publication Date: 5/14/2024 First as always, thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC. All opinions are my own. Now, review time. This was another DNF for me. I know, the cover is stunning and the promise of the blurb drew me in but, in a word, it’s boring. I was bored the entire time. So we’ve got a 21 year old who’s not like other girls…

Love Letters To A Serial Killer By: Tasha Coryell
Published by: Berkley Publication Date: 6/25/2024 Alright, first off, thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to them . Next important note: I DNF’d this book. Not that deep in either. Around 10%. Now to the review. You’re telling me this woman is supposed to be in her 30s? She’s annoying and it reads like someone who is…

Voyage Of The Damned by: Frances White
Published by: Harlequin Publication Date: August 20 2024 Firstly, thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC. My opinion is my own. Alright, from the jump, I was leery of this book. Any book I’ve read in the last few years that said “Tik-Tok Sensation” or “BookTok Fave” has been absolutely awful. And this was not the exception to that. Where do I start? I didn’t even get…

In Nightfall by: Suzanne Young
Published by: Random House Publication Date: March 28 2023 As always a big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Let’s get into it. In Nightfall was marketed as The Lost Boys meets Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Yeah, this was not that. Now, I’ve only seen The Lost Boys once and even from that single watch, this was way too…
