Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice For Murderers
by Jesse Q. Sutanto

book cover


At first I thought this book was very silly but once I got about 1/2 way through it got better. I started to like Vera more and see her transform and develop.
Slow Dance

This was a very slow read. I wasn’t a huge fan of either Shiloh or Cary. I would have liked the back and forth timeline more if the past chapters didn’t keep jumping all around so much. I liked Shiloh’s kids more than I liked her.
Dream State
by Eric Puchner

book cover


A wedding, a group of college friends, a romance, a heartbreak, and choices that reverberate through generations. Also an ode to the state of Montana—and heartbreak for the impacts of a warming climate. (Not in a preachy way, but in a day-to-day impactful change kind of way: the lake when the characters were kids, vs. the lake now.) The pace was a little slow but I was engaged in the outcome of the characters.
The Paris Apartment

Slow to start, but because I’ve read books by this author before, I knew that the first bit of the book was for character building and that the suspense would come later (and it certainly did). Every time I thought I had all the pieces of the puzzle fit together, I was thrown a curveball and left completely stunned. Lisa Foley’s books are by far my favorite psychological thrillers and this one was great! A little bit of a darker, grittier read, but still very enjoyable and gripping.
The Midnight Feast

An amazing psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat and leaves you wanting to unearth more answers to the burning questions that pop up. I audibly gasped as secrets were unfolding with every twist and turn. And like the characters in the book, I felt a sense of closure as I turned the last page. Lucy Foley is a mastermind, and this might be her best one yet!

All The Way Gone

I think it was only an okay book, it wasn’t my favorite out of the whole series. I feel like the plot was slow and not much really happened compared to her other books.
Under the Stars
by Beatriz Williams

book cover


A blend of the modern day and the historical. Set on (fictional) Winthrop Island, the book flips back and forth between the present day lives of Audrey, her actress mother, and her bartender father, and a November night in 1846, when the steamship Atlantic gets caught in a storm, suffers a catastrophic disaster, and sinks in Long Island Sound. This book does have some characters from other books of Williams', but can be read as a stand-alone as well. Great summer vacation read: engaging story + historical substance.
The Wishing-Well Spell

book cover


This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7
Dead Money

Entertaining and twisty story about a lawyer-turned-venture capital investigator who is tasked as acting as a liaison to the FBI. They're investigating the murder of a tech company CEO. Layered, complicated, and suspenseful—keeps you guessing. Highly recommend.
