The Murder List - Hank Phillippi Ryan

This was my second book by author Hank Phillippi Ryan. The Murder List was released by Macmillan/Forge books on August 20th 2019. I received a copy of the book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book follows Rachel North-a smart, hard working, beautiful woman married to her dream husband and about to launch her career as a super successful lawyer in Boston. All she has to do is hit it out of the park during her internship with the Boston DA. The only thing is--she's wrong. What happens to Rachel will put her entire future in jeopardy. Will she survive the twists?

Fans of John Grisham-esque legal thrillers will no doubt want to dive in to this book. This book is a little bit thriller, a little bit political, and everything in between. Be prepared for all of the courtoom drama Rachel brings. She can be a little childish and over dramatic, but it's not anything that stopped me from finishing the book. I can however, see where people who aren't 100% sold on these types of books would find it hard to get through.

For me it was a little slow to start. I'm also currently reading Thirteen, so it could have just been a combination of the two books that threw me off my game at times. This is a run of the mill "whodunnit," and I was here for all of it. The ending was my favorite part. I love a good crazy. Hot messes are always fun to watch when they don't involve you, right?

Worth a read if you're into these types of books. Huge thank you to Hank Phillippi Ryan for taking me on another wild ride.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living i

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me. Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog! What if I'm not interesting? What if my reviews are terrible? What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out. Follow me. Be patient with me. Grow with me. Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review." What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough. Arthur Less is a failure. He's a failed novelist. He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail. The love of his life has found someone else to love. What does he do, as a functioning adult? He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials. Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief. This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right? This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them. I trudged through this book with all the grac
