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 ...

Wine or Lose by Amanda Chaperon

I was so freaking disappointed by this book. I bought the alternate covers (which are absolutely stunning) at Romance Con and I expected to read about (PER THE AUTHOR) small town charm, office rivals to lovers, and a happily ever after. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel like I got any of that. The first problem lies within the setup of the relationship. Amara and Cal meet in a club, fall in love after like 2 hours, and go back to his place before Amara realizes that Cal is the new CFO that her dad just hired for their family’s winery. He calls her a party princess, she storms out, and fast forward to five years later, when they’re both still holding onto that. How have you seriously not gotten over that one interaction in the span of FIVE YEARS? Second, Cal hates women. You can’t convince me otherwise. When he was trying to prevent Amara’s father from giving her the company, he ONLY talked to her father, shook his hand, and plead his case with him. He paid no attention to ...

Twisted by Emily McIntire

Man, I’m obsessed with these books. The Never After series is probably my favorite series of all time because each story is just SO 👏 GOOD 👏 This one is an Aladdin reimagining, where the Aladdin character is a whiney little bitch, the Jafar character, Julian Faraci is a snack, and poor little Yasmin Karam has no choice but to marry him and suffer under the weight of his muscles and good looks. I devoured this one. If there was one thing I could ask for in my life, it’s that Emily McIntire write more of these stories because I’m almost at the end of the series and I’m not ready. 😭 If you’re into dark romance and alternative views to the fairytales we grew up with, run, don’t walk to these. If you don’t like them, read them anyway. She just might surprise you.
