Review: Depraved Heart
Okay, so first off, this book is LONG. I don't mean "this took forever to read because it was lengthy", I mean "the first half nothing happened". I haven't read a Scarpetta novel before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew she was a leader in her literary niche with plenty of novels under her belt but I had no idea she's wrote 23 of this series! This knowledge still didn't prepare me for all the history and past experiences the characters have under gone during the previous novels although Cornwell did an excellent job of catching me up. Depraved Heart was easy ... Continue Reading...
Review: Crooked Little Lies
Crooked Little Lies is nothing like what I usually read and had a really hard time putting it down. It took while to get going, but once the novel found its rhythm it was easy to get lost in the tale. We meet Lauren, a recovered addict who struggles from day to day with her memory. She sees a man, Bo Laughlin, on the side of the road and stops to make sure he's okay. Lauren is the last person to see him before he goes missing. Annie Laughlin, Bo's sister, searches desperately for her missing brother. It's her desperate search that connects her and Lauren. Over ... Continue Reading...

A chilling psychological horror with plenty of darkness and disturbing situations. A killer lives among the residents of Suvikylä in northern Finland. She kills with a hatchet, buries their hearts in a potato field and eats them after they’ve rotted black. After generations of tales and ... Continue Reading...
Review: Cinder
Why did I put Cinder off for so long?! I remember reading the synopsis and being really unexcited but I kept hearing SUCH GOOD THINGS. I kept thinking "I'll probably like it, but I have all these other books that kind of seem more interesting so I'll read those instead." Time went on. I didn't read Cinder. Seriously, I regret that decision now because I loved Cinder to bits. It's unique, exciting and you don't see the twists coming. I read Cinder as part of The Lunar Chronicles Read Along hosted by @bookaddictsguide! The whole event is about reading the Lunar ... Continue Reading...
