The Matchmaker: A Spy in Berlin by Paul Vidich – Review

Because I had never read a novel by Paul Vidich before, I started reading this novel with no idea of what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the brilliant mystery within The Matchmaker: A Spy in Berlin‘s pages that ended with an epic demonstration of a woman’s determination.

Such a Pretty Smile by Kristi DeMeester – Review

Such a Pretty Smile is a chill-inducing novel that examines the patriarchy and sexism through a terrifying tale of death and mystery. Oozing horror at every flip of the page, I could not put this electrifying novel down until I read it cover to cover. Filled with relatable characters and emotion, Such a Pretty Smile was overtly thrilling, blood-curdling, and above all, powerful.

Quicksilver by Dean Koontz – Review

5/5 Stars

// Quick Review //

From start to finish, Quicksilver is unpredictable. Full of lovable characters, constant peril, and a plethora of mystery, Koontz’s newest novel is dark, addictive, and thrilling. With every novel released, Dean Koontz proves that he is a master of storytelling. Quicksilver is the latest in a line of masterpieces.  Mysterious from the start, Quicksilver sucked me in and didn’t spit me out until I had been thoroughly ingrained in the world of Quinn Quicksilver.

At The End of Everything by Marieke Nijkamp – Review

2/5 Stars

// Quick Review //

While I wish I could say that this novel lived up to my expectations, but I unfortunately cannot. Just like This Is Where It Ends, the novel falls short on its diversity, plot, and realness. I ended up not finishing the novel after being stuck at 55% for a long time.

This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp – Review

3/5 Stars

// Quick Review //

I’ve been wanting to read this novel for well over two years, but never got around to it. I had heard great things and was looking forward to reading a novel with diversity that also deals well with heavy topics. However, I found that instead of the 5 star read I expected, I was fairly disappointed.
