This year I have really been kicking it up a notch when it comes to reading more thrillers. I have a number of new thrillers lined up that I am looking forward to reading and this one sounds like it’s going to be fast paced and exciting.

Today I have an excerpt for you guys and if it sounds like something you might enjoy then you will want to pick up a copy now!

It’s been getting great reviews and sounds so twisty and fast paced that I’m afraid to read the excerpt because I know I am going to want to read it cover to cover! Continue reading “Special Feature and Excerpt: Lies Lies Lies by Adele Parks” →

Review: Pretty Things by Janelle Brown (Audible Edition)

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Pretty Things by Janelle Brown (Audible Edition)

This book was all over my Instagram and was a pretty hyped book when it was released back in April. Not to mention the cover is pretty memorable and eye catching right?

My murder mystery picked it as our July read and we were all eager to start it because it sounded like it held so much promise.

I went with the Audible edition because both narrators had soothing voices in the sample I tried and I will admit, the Audible edition is a great listen. I loved the narrators! But what about the story itself? Continue reading “Review: Pretty Things by Janelle Brown (Audible Edition)” →

Review: The Sight of You (The Sight of You #1) by Holly Miller

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Sight of You (The Sight of You #1) by Holly Miller

At first glance, I almost passed on this book. It just didn’t stand out to me as unique when I was looking at the cover. Don’t get me wrong I love the colors in the cover, but it just seemed generic and I just didn’t find it that memorable.

But the summary convinced me otherwise. As soon as I read the summary I was eager to crack it open and get lost in a romantic story.

I liked to idea of the two characters falling in love and one of them having prophetic dreams, that combo sounded interesting and new. So needless to say it took little convincing for me to pick this one up! Continue reading “Review: The Sight of You (The Sight of You #1) by Holly Miller” →

Special Feature and Excerpt: The Woman Before Wallis by Bryn Turnbull

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature and Excerpt: The Woman Before Wallis by Bryn Turnbull

Wallis Simpson is the woman that I love to hate. Having read some books about her over the years (non fiction and fiction), I have jut formulated my opinion of her and I came to the conclusion that I just don’t like her—she seemed like an opportunist.

But at the same time there is something terribly romantic about a king giving up his throne—the thing he had devoted his entire life to—just to marry the woman he loves. There is power in that story for sure.

This novel isn’t just another Wallis Simpson story though. Before Wallis there were surely women that caught the future king’s eye and this is the story of that woman. I am so excited to share about this book and an excerpt with you guys today! I can’t wait to start reading this one!

Review: The End of Her by Shari Lapena

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The End of Her by Shari Lapena

I have only recently discovered Shari Lapena and I have enjoyed the last couple of books I have read by her.

When I saw this one was coming out, I initially couldn’t fit it on my calendar for review but then COVID happened and a lot of my summer releases got moved to fall by the publishers so summer opened up and I was able to squeeze this one in!

I am so glad that it worked out because I would have hated to miss another book by Lapena! Continue reading “Review: The End of Her by Shari Lapena” →
