Review: One Step Behind by Lauren North

I read Lauren North’s debut novel, The Perfect Son, when it came out and I absolutely loved it. I thought she was an exciting author with so much promise and I have been looking forward to this book for quite some time.

Plus it features a stalker and nothing raises the hair on the back of my neck quite like a stalker story. I immediately fast tracked this book as a perfect introduction to my creepier fall reading.

I had such high hopes for this one. The author, the story and don’t even get me started on that gorgeous cover! But I have to admit, I don’t know that I loved it in the way that I was hoping for. Continue reading “Review: One Step Behind by Lauren North”

Review: The Whisper Man by Alex North (Audible Edition)

My book club pick for August was The Whisper Man and I was so excited for it because I have had the book from my Book of the Month box for over a year.

I often find myself looking at it on my shelves and think, ‘this is the month I am going to read it’ and then something else catches my eye and I forget until the next time my eye wanders that way.

This month though I was determined to read it and was thrilled that my book club selected it for August! Continue reading “Review: The Whisper Man by Alex North (Audible Edition)”

Review: Killer Kung Pao (A Noodle Shop Mystery #6) by Vivien Chien

How is it that we are already on the 6th book in this series? It feels like I just started reading it a few months ago….but I haven’t. I read the very first book before it came out and fell in love with this series.

I adore Lana Lee and all the murdery goodness of the Asia Village not to mention every book I read leaves me craving Chinese food and I don’t even like Chinese food but I would kill for some noodles about three chapters in to every single book!

Every time I see that Vivien Chien has a new Lana book coming out, I just automatically add it to my TBR and my review calendar because they are quick easy reads with a good mystery and a fun heroine, how could I not read them?

Special Feature: Love Sold Separately by Ellen Meister

When I first saw this cover, the first things that came to mind were definitely NOT murder mystery. The cover says rom-com or chick lit and the title implies romance so when I saw that it contained a murder mystery, I was like—-say what?!

It sounds like the story itself is more of a rom-com—but there is a murder mystery tied in and I think that sounds like such a fun read! I love when genres cross over and I am really excited to see if that works in this one. Sometimes it does, while others it doesn’t but I think either way this one sounds fun.

I couldn’t get it on my review calendar this month but I have all the fun details here for you guys to check out and see if this one might be for you! I love the sound of it and I think others might too! It’s on sale tomorrow so if this sounds like something you might enjoy, click the link below to get a copy for yourself!
