The third book in the Forbidden Iceland series was finally released in the US!

I loved this! It definitely lives up to the hype. The illustrations totally made the story even better and I was thrown by the ending. Very fast paced and a good one to pick up if you need to get out of a reading slump! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can't wait to start this! I have heard nothing but good things and that it is SUPER creepy 👀👻😈

Gothic horror mixed with historical fiction, featuring a haunted house, a priest who is also a witch, forbidden romance, and a young wife brought to the Hacienda by her new husband whose family knows the dark secrets of the house. I absolutely LOVED this story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Currently reading and loving so far. And this cover 😍

I loved this book so much, I tore through it in 2 sittings. An intriguing mystery and absolutely incredible characters. Anna's backstory being woven into this mystery really made the story very emotional and I could not put it down. Definitely one of my favorites so far this year. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Started this last night. Absolutely in love with this cover.

My last two reads- thoroughly enjoyed them both! Proceed with caution with both, a lot of very dark, disturbing moments. But both very well done with lots of twists and turns.

VERY excited to start this!

I started this last night and it is INTENSE, but very good so far!

I love a good Karin Slaughter book!

The Island is book 2 in the Hidden Iceland series- I really enjoy Hulda's character and I look forward to reading the final book soon!

I did enjoy The Murder Rule but it was VERY different from her Cormac McCarthy series. A little far-fetched but a good fast paced read!

Definitely needing this escape right now. I just can't stop thinking of those 19 babies in Texas 😔

Very excited to start this one. I absolutely love her Cormac Reilly series so I am really looking forward to this standalone story!

I enjoyed this! Good plot with a lot of action and twists. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Books and Baseball- my two favorites 😉

I had not read this since high school and forgot how wonderful this story is! 12 year old Jack is on a quest between worlds to reach the Talisman to save his mom's life. A lot of adventure and action, and Jack's character is one of my favorites by King! Definitely check this out!

Next up on the #stephenkinglonghaul re-read journey. One of my favorites!

Another truly stunning novel by Don Winslow. First in a trilogy, this centers around Italian and Irish crime families who go to war in the 80s. Danny Ryan is a perfect lead character and the tension and action that builds throughout just draws you in. Book 2 doesn't come out until next April, but I am sure it will be worth the wait!

Happy publication day to one of my most highly anticipated books of the year. This is the first in a trilogy. Don Winslow is an absolute favorite author of mine. Can't wait to dive into this tonight!

This was the latest stop on my Stephen King re-read journey. I have not read this one since high school and I truly forgot how great this story is. It has some very clear Dark Tower ties (i.e., the evil magician, Flagg) but is definitely it's own wonderful story. Absolutely add this to your list, especially if you're looking to try Stephen King for the first time!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The next stop on the #stephenkinglonghaul

I really enjoyed this intriguing mystery, set in east Texas in the 1930's. The atmosphere and setting were perfect for this story. Harry is a great protagonist and I just loved getting to know him and his family. His relationship with his grandmother was just 🥺🥺😍
4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

The newest addition to my reading nook!

This book gets me every time. It is both scary and heartbreaking. The story is a slow build to what is definitely one of King's most tense and terrifying endings. Definitely one of my favorites and still, for me, the one that scared me the most. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Next up, one of my most anticipated books of the year!

This was the perfect end to this trilogy. I randomly picked up book 1 a couple weeks ago and couldn't believe I had never heard of it before. A fantastic, fast paced thriller with great characters that you will love. If you are in a reading rut, check out this series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The last of the Fawkes & Baxter trilogy!

An engaging and atmospheric mystery combined with great character development! I really enjoyed this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow. This book was just jam packed with so much action. I am absolutely loving this trilogy! Baxter and Rouche are a fantastic pair in this story... and the ending... 🤯🤯
Can't wait to see how this trilogy finishes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was so fun. I loved the premise and all of the extremely unreliable characters- including Chloe, our narrator. It kept me guessing till the end! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spending my birthday the best way possible!

This was excellent. Full of action with great characters. I felt myself rooting for Luke and Kitty from page 1. I loved the setting- from LA to the Mojave Desert- which made the action that much more gripping. The last 50 pages or so kicked my ass 🤣 Check this one out for sure, this will end up being one of my top reads of the year! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So excited for this one. I read Lola on Fire last year and it blew me away!

WOW. I loved this so much. This is Book 3 in the Shana Merchant series and each book is even better than the last. Great action combined with police procedural and a great female protagonist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another highly anticipated read for this year. I love this series so much!

This is a very quick read, and there is a lot of great art work in here that really adds to the story! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Time to rejoin my #stephenkinglonghaul journey!

I am absolutely loving this series. This is Book 2 in the Kørner and Werner series. Set in Copenhagen, a body is found in fountain, drained of all its blood 🤯 Fast-paced with a compelling mystery to solve. Definitely check this series out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Fighting off the Sunday scaries 😬

I bought this book on a Kindle deal after seeing it recommended by Crime By The Book on IG (if you are a crime fiction fan, go follow her immediately!)

I was so impressed by this serial killer thriller. Great characters and fast moving plot. I tore through this and stayed up way too late last night to finish it. This is first in a series and will definitely be checking out the others. 4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

What a twisty, fast-paced thriller. This was EXCELLENT. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
