Self Help for Serial Killers by Asia Mackay Publishes 6/16


 The couple that kills togther, stays together, right? 


 In this follow up novel to, A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage, Haze and Fox are going through a rough patch. Fox is going to therapy but Hazel just wants him to help more with the kids and the household.  The two of them are going through typical trials that couples face when they have two small children except someone seems to be aware of their extra curricular activities.  Now their lives may be in danger if they can't find out who is spying on them. 


I am loving this series.  The first book was fantastic and this was a great second novel.  The action and mystery is spot on.  Plus, Haze and Fox are great characters.  There were even a couple of chapters that featured Jenny's perspective which I found really interesting.  This novel featured mom drama, typical issues that you find in a marriage, kid issues, but it also had problems that one would never expect unless you were used to killing people regularly.   I really enjoy the whole premise that yes, they are killers but, they only kill those that deserve it. Now throw in life with kids and it just makes for a fun yet thrilling novel.   


I definitely recommend this novel expecially if you love thrillers, are a parent, married, or are looking for something a little darker but fun. 

4 out of 5 stars

Where the Girls Were by Kate Schatz Publishes 3/3/26

 I wish that everyone who had an opinion about women's bodies and what they can do with them would take the time to read a book like this.  Reading is so powerful because you can truly have empathy and understanding of a situation that you might never be in yourself.  I don't know how anyone could read this story and not feel for Baker and all that she went through.  Baker has everything going for her.  She is the valedictorian of her 1968 class and has big dreams of becoming a writer and living in Paris after she attends Stanford University.  Everything is going her way until she goes out to a concert with her cousin and falls in love.  Like so many girls during this time, Baker has very little understanding of her own body and received no education about how to prevent pregnancies.  Baker becomes pregnant and has very few options of what she can do.  Being an unwed mother during this time is pure scandal and will completely destroy her futu...

Double Shadow by Andrew Ludington Publishes 4/21/26

  A great edition to this time traveling, action-packed series! In this novel Rabbit travels back in time to Jerusalem to help Helen.  She is being accused of being part of an illegal time traveling ring.  Only when he travels back he meets a younger Helen who has never met him before.  Helen is chasing after a man named Eshek who has stolen money and if Helen can get the money back she can help her sister.  The only problem is that there is also a killer on the loose who seems out to get Rabbit.   In this novel we learn a lot more about Helen and her back story.  We also get to see more of Rabbit and Helen's relationship.  This book has lots of action and adventure but the best part of the story for me is the time travel.  I love all of the historical detail and knowledge of the time periods they travel to.  I am excited to read more as I am really enjoying what is happening between Rabbit and Helen.  Thank you to Minotaur Boo...

The Shippers by Katherine Center Publishes 5/19/26

  A new Katherine Center novel is one of things I look forward to most in the year.  "The Shippers" did not disappoint and was a great way to start this year off.   In this novel JoJo has relationship issues.  In order to solve these issues, JoJo hatches a plan with her sister to win back the guy who was her first kiss and longtime crush, Finn Turner  He also happens to be on a cruise ship with her entire family and old neighborhood for her sister's wedding.  Also on that cruise ship is JoJo's best friend, Cooper.  They have been estranged for four years. At one time they were inseparable and have only now just started speaking again.  JoJo ends up roping in Cooper to try and help her win Finn, but as you can probably guess, things do not always go to plan.  I absolutely loved this book.  It was a great escape and a heart warming story.   I really enjoyed reading about all of the characters and seeing their growth especial...
