Paul Doiron's Almost Midnight

Almost Midnight by Paul Doiron was given to me by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This book was released by St. Martin's Press Minotaur Books on July 2, 2019.

Warden Mike Bowditch is trying to figure out who attempted to kill his wolf hybrid when he learns that his best friend Billy is going to be released from prison after defending a female prison guard in an attack by another prisoner. Mike soon investigates and learns that the prison is filled with conspiracies and underground smuggling rings. Mike has to find a way to protect Billy's wife and children from the inevitable attacks on them before it's too late.

This was not the first book about Mike Bowditch, but it was for me. I really appreciated the fact that it didn't seem like I was behind or missing anything super important to the story by having not read the other books. I found myself really rooting for Billy. When it came to Shadow (Mike's wolf) I would find myself swearing I knew who did it. In the end I was somewhat right, but not 100%. I love when a book doesn't end up how I think it will.

Overall this was a good mystery. It had several aspects that all tied together. The characters were fun to follow and well thought out. I would definitely be interested in reading other Mike Bowditch books.

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 ...

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! 💙

The Lonely Hearts Crime Club

I obtained a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley. The Lonely Hearts Crime Club is scheduled to be released April 16th, 2019 by Blackbird Digital Books. Synopsis (from Goodreads): An elderly resident of an inner-city tower block is brutally attacked and left for dead. Her neighbours, a pregnant alcoholic, a vulnerable youth, a failed actress and a cameraman with a dark secret, are thrown together in their search for answers. Misfits and loners, they are forced to confront uncomfortable realities about themselves and each other, as their investigation leads them towards the shocking finale. The cast of characters for this book were very interesting in the fact that all of them are severely flawed. When combined they formed a group of misfits similar to those of The Breakfast Club or The Sandlot. Each person brought something different to the "team." The main characters are listed below Ella-pregnant, 3rd trimester, recovering alcoholic, on h...
