Review: Hanover House – Brenda Novak

Hanover House is really, really creepy! And well written with an amazing main character who has been through hell, and now wants to help figure out what it is that makes a psychopath. Filled with suspense and a little romance, this prequel definitely made me want more! My Hanover House review: From the very start of Hanover House, I was in awe of Evelyn! Instead of hiding and not confronting her fears after she was brutally attacked by her boyfriend when she was only sixteen, she went on to become a psychiatrist to try to find out what exactly it is that makes some people psychopaths. And she wanted to further her research to see if there was any possibility […]

Review: Forever Grace – Linda Poitevin

Review: Forever Grace – Linda Poitevin

I needed quite a bit of tissues while reading Forever Grace, because while this is a romance, it was also filled with sadness and fear. Beautifully written, with strong characters, it will stay with me a while. My Forever Grace review: Forever Grace is set in the same universe as Gwynne Ever After, and there are some short appearances of the characters that inhabited that story. A part from them, there are only a few characters present during most of the story, Grace and her three nieces and nephews, and Sean. At the beginning of the story, it was clear that both Grace and the children were afraid, and their fear didn’t have anything to do with being in a […]

Review: Made for You – Melissa Marr

Review: Made for You – Melissa Marr

Made for You is a chilling psychological thriller / murder mystery made all the more chilling because it’s YA, with young characters involved. My Made for You review: Made for You have so many things going for it! One is that it’s not that easy to find a psychological thriller in the young adult category that actually is a thrilling ride! And there are parents who are involved in their children’s lives – not all in equal parts, and some not so much in the beginning, but then they are working on it! There is a very creepy stalker with a God-complex, a best friend who is a very good friend, and the main character is smart and hard-working, and […]

Review: Monday’s Lie – Jamie Mason

Review: Monday’s Lie – Jamie Mason

Monday’s Lie is a finely woven psychological thriller, where all the action happens through Dee’s eyes, the chilling, the doubting, the spying… My Monday’s Lie review: What was the most enjoyable to me in Monday’s Lie wasn’t the suspense, the waiting, the spying or Dee’s brilliant deductive mind, it was the writing! It’s so vivid, using different metaphors, daring to go a little outside the conventional boundaries of a psychological thriller to simply show the readers the changes in Dee’s life, through her own eyes. From the very start, I was captivated by Dee’s inner musing and recollections of various encounters, dialogues and places. Riveted to the screen of my kindle by the mystery unfolding, even when Dee didn’t want […]

Review: Escaping Reality (The Secret Life of Amy Bensen #1) – Lisa Renee Jones

*I received a free ARC of Escaping Reality from Julie Patra Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* I am completely blown away by Escaping Reality! A red-hot thriller/suspense novel with a great main character in Amy. She has no idea if there is anyone she can trust, and a secretive handler has just made her leave New York and her new life behind. At the airport, she finds the right locker, with a small carry-on, new ID and an address in Denver. Shockingly fast paced, there is never a dull moment, as Amy runs, and finds herself next to a very sexy and hot man on the plane. Escaping Reality has Amy on the run, a mysterious […]
