Book Review: The Velvet Knife by Maureen Johnson
As usual when reading the Truly Devious series, after reading book five, I needed to know how the cliffhanger ends up being resolved. I was fortunate to have read it earlier this year, so it was still fairly fresh in my mind…

Book Review: We Are Never Ever Solving This Murder by Sarah Fox
I’d had the chance to read the first book in this series when it came out, but I passed on it because it seemed to tread too much into romance (I like my mysteries/thrillers to be very focused on the mystery). I didn’t realize this was part of the same series, although I should have…

Book Review: Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson
I figured I’d go ahead and pick up this book after I finished The Box in the Woods. After realizing my reading tastes have changed, I didn’t go into this one expecting the same enthusiasm as I did returning to the series after the original trilogy…

Book Review: The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson
t’s been a few years since I binged the first three books in the Truly Devious series. I remember being so hooked that I read them over the span of two days. When the third book didn’t end on a cliffhanger, I wanted to be sure that when I picked up book four, I was prepared for…

Book Review: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Because of this, I was kind of nervous going into it, but since I was reading it with a book club, I figured it would be a good opportunity to read outside of my comfort zone…
