Book Review: Sadie

Sadie by Courtney Summers is a book that will stick with me for some time. It's a YA thriller/mystery, but it has loads of subjects and triggers that range from YA to adult: drug abuse, murder, sexual abuse, pedophilia, rape, rural issues and poverty, etc. It is not just your run of the mill easy …

Book Review: Girls’ Night Out

I immediately wanted to read Girls' Night Out once I saw the cover and then scampered over to Amazon and Goodreads to read the synopsis. A trip to Mexico that ends in a missing person? YES, PLEASE! At first I got a little confused with the narration - it is told in multiple POVs at …

Book Review: Before I Met Him

Before I Met You is the second book I have read by John Nicholl and it has some crazy, dark scenes.  On the surface, this book is about a young woman who was assaulted when she was just a little girl who grows up and decides to take justice and revenge into her own hands.  …

Book Review: Baby Teeth

Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage is one of the most-talked about books out right now!  From marketing campaigns, to seeing ARCs everywhere, to just now being published, and to seeing it discussed all over Instagram and Twitter, I knew I had to get in on this phenomena that was sweeping the book world. On the …

Book Review: Pretty Ugly Lies

What causes a woman to just murder her husband and kids? How could someone just snap like that? Pretty Ugly Lies is a psychological thriller that explores just this situation, but the twist is that it could be one of four different women. There are four women’s stories that weave together in this dark novel …

Book Review: Portraits of the Dead

Portraits of the Dead by John Nicholl is quite haunting and seriously freaked me out at times. But in the way that a true crime podcast or an episode of Law and Order: SVU would, ya know? The story focuses on a serial killer who has kidnapped a young 19-year-old girl and has her locked …

A Night Worms Book Review: Halcyon

“They used to burn girls like you at the stake.” Halcyon is the first book I have read by Rio Youers and it definitely did not let me down. I chose to not research this book before going into it because I have just started really enjoying going into books blind! I am sure this …

Book Review: The Last Time I Lied

The Last Time I Lied is the latest book by Riley Sager, famously known for the prior thriller, Final Girls. Sager’s newest book follows Emma Davis, a now-successful artist in the NYC scene who was involved in a terrible tragedy fifteen years ago at a summer camp. At one of her art shows, Emma runs …

A Night Worms Book Review: Glimpse

Glimpse, by Jonathan Mayberry, is a supernatural thriller sober addict who sees things when she puts on glasses borrowed from someone on a commuter train and keeps getting chunks of time taken from her.  It's like she blacking out but she hasn't been using drugs or alcohol.  Weird things start happening to her friends, too.  …

Book Review: Sins of the Father

Sins of the Father is one of those books you find yourself totally immersed in and never has a dull moment. There’s never a good “stopping point” to put your bookmark because it really is that fast-paced. You don’t want to stop turning those pages. I had pretty high expectations going into it based on …
