I didn’t realize that while it’s not a part of a series per say, The Professor is the second book featuring Marlitt Kaplan. If you’d like to read the books in order than pick up Lauren Nossett’s The Resemblance first than more on to The Professor. However, I have yet to read The Resemblance, and…

Playing the Witch Card
I love Tarot and books filled with magic. I also completely enjoyed KJ Dell’Antonia’s previous books In Her Boots and The Chicken Sisters. Add in that Playing the Witch Card is being touted as Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls, of course I was excited for Dell’Antonia to be putting out a witchy book this month!…

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…

A Little Ray of Sunshine
Welp Kristan Higgins did it again, she made me cry, and I’m pretty upset by it. People told me this one would be lighter, so I read it on my flight up to New York last week. It’s a good thing I had a window seat and nobody next to be because I was bawling…
The Only Survivors
This was exactly what I needed! I finished the queen of crime’s Will Trent series, aka Karin Slaughter, and have been majorly slumping lately. 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…

What the Hex
I so enjoyed the first book Go Hex Yourself in the Hex series last year, so I was excited to jump into the sequel What the Hex. But I always find the second book in romance series to be iffy. I think it’s a ‘me’ problem and I get to attached to the first set…
