cozy horror but make it a feminine time-loop slasher? yes please 🙋🏻‍♀️

@rachelharrisonsghost is an auto-read author for me, and she never disappoints! kiss slay replay was no exception!

the time-loop aspect was incredibly unique and not to mention our resilient FMC, willa. shes already navigating a breakup, only to be forced to relive the most deadly day of her life over and over again—and somehow, she keeps finding the strength to fight her way through it.

despite the slasher chaos, i loved the larger message of learning to let go, new beginnings, and finding the strength to move forward when life doesn’t turn out the way you expected. willa’s journey felt like so much more than simply trying to survive the night.

the mix of wedding vibes, romance, slasher horror, and supernatural elements was so much fun! rachel harrison has done it again. 🖤 check this one out!

if bk writes it, im reading it. its really that simple. 🫶🏻

Grim Tidings was whimsical, heartbreaking, bittersweet, with the overarching mix of grief and love. ✨

i loved the unique world of the department of hauntings and spirits, all of the characters (especially Frank😭), the romance, and all the little magical pieces that came together to make this story feel so special.

but what really stuck with me was the takeaway. there is something so beautiful about new beginnings, letting go of the things we think are supposed to define us, and realizing that fate doesn’t necessarily have to dictate our lives. sometimes, we get to choose our own path.

a little spooky, a little magical, a whole lot of heart, and a romance that completely stole mine. 🥹💜

just so. so. good. ✨

our perfect storm is one of those stories that gives you warm and fuzzy feelings while somehow making you miss a place you’ve never been with people you’ve never met [fictional or not!]

frankie & george’s story is filled with friendship, loyalty, longing, tension, heartbreak, and ultimately finding their way back to each other. every emotion felt raw and anchored, and i became more invested in their journey with each page. @carleyfortune has a remarkable talent for writing characters who feel so real- i genuinely felt like i grew up along side frankie and george.

i wouldn’t change a thing about this book. the canadian summer setting was beautiful, the romance was nostalgic, and the emotional payoff was everything i expected from a carley fortune novel. the tie-in with francesca the whale had me bawling by the end, and this is one of those books that will be living rent-free in my head this summer.

I’m immersive reading 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐖𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐬 and I’m completely hooked. It’s one of those stories that feels impossible to put down. The mystery gets deeper, the characters feel real (I appreciate @aeskens representation and authenticity of neurodivergent characters) and not to mention the narrator makes it even more compelling.

This is my second book by Allen Eskens and I’m a fan. For a deep layered story with suspense, complexity and with a captivating plot, I definitely recommend this one!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧

There are a few stories that stay with you long after the final page, and after how In An Instant moved me, I knew I had to get my hands on Suzanne Redfearn’s newest novel. 💛

📖 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐧𝐞 releases September 15, and it sounds like another powerful, heart-tugging story from an author who knows how to capture the resilience of the human spirit.

Set against the world of figure skating, this story follows Vivien as she navigates prejudice, heartbreak, loss, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of her dreams. Through every trial and tribulation, she discovers something we need to be reminded of: the incredible power that exists within each of us to persevere, rise, and overcome.

If Suzanne Redfearn’s ability to make me feel everything in In An Instant is any indication, I have a feeling this is going to leave a mark on my heart too. ❤️

Thank you to @suzanneredfearn for an ARC of this title. I can’t wait to read it.

September 1 can’t come fast enough for this one. 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐲 @andrehardybooks is bringing grit, heart, and high-stakes drama—and I am already hooked from this description and cover alone. The bold red skyline with the haunting eyes? It’s giving raw, powerful and unhinged.

This story promises a complex anti-hero, a tangled web of crime and loyalty, and a city teeming with secrets. Add in themes of family, redemption, and the cost of walking away from a dangerous life… yeah, I already know this is going to be hitting hard.

David Ellis never disappoints. If you’re looking for a thriller that grabs you by the throat from page one and never lets go, Keep Them Close by David Ellis is IT.

Starting off with a bang and immediately throwing you into the chaos—no slow build, no easing in, just pure tension from the jump. I was instantly hooked.

What I loved about this was how all of our characters are crafty and wickedly clever. You’re constantly trying to read between the lines, second-guessing motives, and questioning everything they say and do. Allison is a complete bad ass!

Also, the toxic sibling dynamic! the tension, the loyalty, the buried resentment—it adds l an emotional edge to the story that makes you feel the rivalry simmering, ready to explode.

And the twists… just WOW. totally shocking in the best way. At one point I was like WHAT?! Just when I thought I had it figured out, the story flipped everything upside down. I was genuinely reeling.

I’m a legal professional so nothing keeps me intrigued more than a legal procedural thriller - and this was excellent! The investigation unfolded in such a smart, layered way that you’re piecing things together—but never quite fast enough. It kept me guessing until the very end, and I could not stop reading.

Dark, clever, and completely addictive—this is a must-read for thriller lovers who crave family and legal drama with razor-sharp twists.

Publishing June 30! You don’t want to miss this one.

i received this amazing goodie box for 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐲 𝐚.𝐦. 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 and the vibes perfectly match the story—dark, moody, and full of creeping tension. also peep the bumblebee! my fav.

i devoured this book! it was so good! a slow-burn atmospheric thriller that builds suspense piece by piece. add in a serial killer POV, immersive boston setting, and slow tightening tension until the twist will leave you reeling.

if you love thrillers that feel uneasy, immersive, and quietly chilling, this is one to add to your list.

✨OUT TOMORROW!✨

this sounds like one of those quiet-but-devastating reads—the kind that builds atmosphere, slowly peels back secrets, and leaves you thinking long after the final page. [swipe for a summary]

serial killer legacy, found friendship, ghosts of the past (literally), and a woman forced to confront everything she’s buried? immediately yes.

thank you to @slwoeppelbooks for the complimentary copy. can’t wait to get lost in this story!

what an impressive debut! i went into this expecting a thriller and came out with a layered, character-driven mystery that completely pulled me in. i listened on audio, and it elevated the entire experience. the podcast elements felt immersive and natural, making it feel like i was right there as everything unraveled.

this was a perfect mashup of mystery, thriller with a love story tied in, it was captivating and i was glued the entire time. the story unfolds in quiet, deliberate ways- with subtle twists and emotional revelations that kept me guessing without relying on shock value. every new detail added another layer, and i genuinely had no idea where it was heading.

what stood out to me was the survivor theme threaded throughout the book— not just part of the podcast storyline—but woven into joy as a character. she is resilient and i loved watching her strength emerge in unexpected ways. her journey gave the story real emotional weight beyond the central mystery.

this was well paced, thoughtfully written, and surprisingly heartfelt at times. hard to believe this is a debut! can’t wait to read more from this author.

high recommend—especially on audio! releasing march 10!

thank you to @flatiron_books @netgalley and @bytiffanycrum for an advanced listeners copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review!

i finished this book in only a few sittings, and all i can say is how profoundly it affected me. unlike anything you’ll likely read, this is one of those stories that quietly burrows into your heart and refuses to leave. i couldn’t put it down — it completely consumed my thoughts and is taking up residence in my brain.

the story follows finn, the ghost of a girl who died in a tragic car accident, as she watches over her family and the other survivors left behind. through finn’s eyes, we witness the ripple effects of loss — the guilt, trauma, despair, and unanswered questions that linger in the aftermath of tragedy. its a haunting perspective that feels intimate and raw, pulling you directly into the emotional wreckage of everyone involved.

i experienced every possible emotion while reading this: happiness, sadness, anger, grief, despair, even moments of vindication. finn’s introspection is heartbreakingly beautiful as she reflects on her life, her regrets, and love for her family, all while slowly coming to terms with her fate. watching her grapple with what’s been lost — and what can never be reclaimed — was both devastating and comforting.

this book is so much more than a story about a car accident or survival. its a deeply human exploration of grief, regret, and resilience. its about the messy complexity of love, the weight of what we carry, and how people find ways to keep living even when their worlds have been shattered.

wow. just wow. this one stayed with me — and i don’t think it’s leaving anytime soon.
