When I read the synopsis of this book I was hooked! A reader leaves a one-star review for a thriller author and he stalks her? Sold! After making sure that the dog doesn’t die (spoiler: he doesn’t!) I jumped right in to the audiobook. There aren’t many characters in this story but the twists… Keep Reading
Cutting Teeth by Chandler Baker
Wicked, sarcastic and so much fun! Chandler Baker always has a wry way of looking at parenthood, marriage and the inner life of working mothers. Her newest book CUTTING TEETH is no different.

The Only One Left by Riley Sager
WHAT. If you enjoy a thriller with a twisted ending (or two!), you’ll love THE ONLY ONE LEFT. Did I guess part of the big reveal very early on? Yes. Did it spoil my enjoyment of the book? Absolutely not! This fast-paced story is told through multiple perspectives. Kit is a caregiver… Keep Reading

The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
Full confession: I’m an Ashley Audrain super fan. When ‘The Push’ was released, I told every friend, co-worker and family member to read it. I also bought a signed copy for my bookshelf. So when ‘The Whispers’ was announced, it went to the top of my most anticipated books of the year. And I’m happy… Keep Reading
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
You don’t have to be a “book person” to love this thought-provoking and biting story about a plagiarist. But if you pore over 1-star Goodreads ratings, ever wondered what a “nice deal” meant in Publishers’ Weekly, or know what tip-in sheets are, you might obsess over this book like me! June Hayward is a… Keep Reading
DROWNING by T.J. NEWMAN
WOW. Literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. In what is sure to be THE thriller of the summer, TJ Newman has hit another electrifying note with Drowning, out on May 30th! If you grew up like I did with disaster movies like ‘Towering Inferno’ and ‘The Poseidon Adventure’, this story… Keep Reading
THE GUEST by EMMA CLINE
This spare, elegantly written novel is both a thriller and a brilliant feminist commentary on the lives of sex workers. Alex is a twenty-two year old woman who has found herself in the Hamptons with no money and no prospects. It’s fascinating that neither the Hamptons or the words sex worker are ever actually used… Keep Reading
THE VILLA by RACHEL HAWKINS
My favorite Rachel Hawkins book to date! A book within a book, two authors who are frenemies, an Italian villa, and Julia Whelan narrating. Loved it all. Emily and Chess are lifelong best friends but have grown apart as their lives have taken different paths. Emily is suffering from anxiety and writer’s block, so… Keep Reading
