Dark Corners
A note before I get into my review: while this is technically the second in a series, this can absolutely be read as a standalone. There are a few references to The Night Swim, and both stories feature Rachel Krall, but the stories themselves are separate. Honestly, I didn’t even realize this was technically a…

I just couldn’t sit down with anything and get further than a page or two. But when I started Megan Miranda’s upcoming release, I was hooked! 10 years ago, an accident…

Do I Know You?
Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka is out now. I really enjoyed the duo’s book The Roughest Draft last year, and really like that they’re a husband/wife romance writing team. I think the dynamic adds so much authenticity to their books and seriously hoping they continue writing together. The Roughest Draft…
