Posted on July 2, 2020 by Jenn

I’ve been a fan of Sullivan’s work for some time. She excels at crafting dynamic, yet flawed characters and strong relationships. What she has crafted with Sam and Elisabeth is so real, so genuine. I quickly forgot they were fictional … Continue reading →

This is one of the books of the summer you cannot miss, the very kind of book I’ve been seeking. I love a good haunted house tale and this one certainly reeled me in.   Told in alternating time periods/points of … Continue reading →

Posted on April 20, 2020 by Jenn

No one does psychological thrillers like Hillier! This is the sixth title of hers I’ve read and loved!  She’s done it again; I think she can’t possibly top her last book but this one…this one most certainly tops them all. … Continue reading →
