She's Not Sorry by Mary Kubica (Review)







Thank you to Bookishfirst, and the publisher for a copy to read, and review.

I was super excited to read this, and you should be too. Mary Kubica never fails. This was a super fast paced thriller that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. Mary has a talent that will always keep you guessing what's going to happen next. Each chapter I read my mind switched on what I thought was going to happen didn't. With thrillers I always try and figure it out before the reveal. Well, I was wrong on this one, but it didn't disappoint. If you're a fan of thrillers, and somehow have yet to read a Mary Kubica book, I would say now is the time to start. Oh, and let me not forget the cover. The cover ( at least the US cover, apologies if it is different where you are.) is mostly a beautiful shade of purple, over a bridge. The purple although pretty looks mysterious, and sinister. The bright yellow title text shows nice too. I think it's really eye catching. Be sure to pick this one up for you sprint/summer reads.

Dear Hanna by Zoje Stage (Revew)





Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a chance to review this.

I've read all of Zoje Stage's books, and was very eager to read this one. This is a stand alone sequel to her debut 'Baby Teeth' If you've never read Zoje before, now would be a wonderful time to start. I started with 'Baby Teeth' being drawn in by the cover, and synopsis. When I found out a sequel was coming I squealed with excitement. This stand alone sequel is great, because it doesn't matter if you've read her debut or not. Read them in any order. I had actually planned on re-reading 'Baby Teeth' but I didn't. In 'Baby Teeth' Hanna is a child, in ' Dear Hanna' she's an adult. It was a thrilling slow burn, of terror, and horror. I kept reading, and didn't want to put the book down. If you like books on evil children, then I suggest you pick this one up. Sure, she's not a child anymore, but it shows that evil can still lurk.
Told mostly between letters of Hanna, and her brother Goose. You find out more of what goes on in her head, and the type of relationships she holds. Be ready for a fun thrill ride this summer, and don't leave this one behind.

William by Mason Coile (Review)





 Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read this.


I first heard about William from a friend on Facebook, and saw the cover, and read the description, and knew I had to read it. This book was right up my alley, and it was a wonderful thrill ride. This tech horror/thriller. I didn't want to put this down. It really makes you wonder, do we really control our machines, or do they have more power over us than we think? Pick this one up, and get locked in with William if you dare.

Incidents Around The House by Josh Malerman (Review)






 Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a copy to read, and review. 


This was incredible. I love how it was set in the mind of a child, and It was absolutely terrifying. I myself currently don't have any human children, but I love stories with creepy kids. Although Bela wasn't exactly creepy, what was happening was just that. The whole time I felt unsafe myself from the entity in this book. This will leave you screaming, and wanting to run, but also wanting more. As a horror fan, this was right up my ally. This one will leave you wanting to hide under the covers, and sleep with the light on.

The Patient by Teri Terry (Review)

 




Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a chance to review this.


This was an incredible fast paced thriller. It kept me guessing. So many times I thought I'd figured it out only to find out I was wrong. My own heart was pounding for Saphy. 


The cover itself really draws potential readers. The bright yellow background with the knitted pink heart I think is great. I enjoyed the craftiness of the twists, I didn't want to put my Kindle down. (if you're reading a physical copy, you wont want to put it down either.) It did make me think what would happen patients, and how much are they really connected to the organ's original owners? Sometimes, I think it can be more than we think. If you're looking for a quick fast paced thriller than I think this will be the book for you.

Butter by Asako Yuzuki (review)

 




Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a review copy. 

I'm torn on how to review this. I half liked it, half didn't. I love the idea of food, and murder. This I think did a good job at that. I do think it was a little too long. Some scenes dragged out for me, and I had to set it down. To me it wasn't as thrilling as I'd have hoped either, but that's my preference. I do like that it was inspired by a true crime though, and I do love true crime. I'll have to look into the actual case itself.

Rabbit Hole by Kate Brody (Review)








Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a chance to review this. 


I was really excited for this book. The whole idea is amazing. The execution for me wasn't the best. I guess I expected more. It had some really wonderful parts, then other parts were extremely slow, and I struggled to get through. If you don't like animal deaths, then pass on this book. There is a scene near the end that deals with it. It was a tough scene to read, and I read a lot of extreme horror. As a debut, I think this worked well, and look forward to what Kate Brody comes up with next.
