Dead Girls Don't Cry (Staycation Series Book 1.5) by RJ Clark

 

A crazy, gory, and fun short story in the Staycation universe! The girls in this story were so twisted. I can't wait to read the final book in the trilogy!

From an Umbrian Farmhouse to Como's Quiet Shores( Book 3 in the Someday Travels series) by EJ Bauer

 

Another excellent book in the Someday Travels series! I love how Bauer's descriptions help me to really gain a sense of the character of each place she visits. I really enjoy finding out about the people she meets, the food she eats and all she experiences. I eagerly look forward to each new addition to this wonderful series!

Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder by Kerryn Mayne

 

 It was impossible not to fall in love with Lenny! I was easily drawn into her world. The sad parts were well balanced with the humorous. I couldn't put this book down.

The Midnight Club by Margot Harrison

 

 I loved everything about this book from the characters, to the setting and the idea of being able to relive past memories. The alternating viewpoints shifting from past to present helped the story keep its momentum. A must read!

Counting Miracles by Nicholas Sparks

 

I loved this moving story of tragedy, connection, hope and love. A beautiful story with sympathetic and engaging characters. I couldn't put this book down! I would love to see a movie adaptation of this book!

Who Haunts You by Mark Wheaton

 

I loved this book from start to finish! The main character was very endearing and I really enjoyed the deep dive into her psyche. The twists surprises me in the most delightful way. Very well done.

The Night Guest by Hildur Knutsdottir, translated by Mary Robinette Kowal

 

 I loved this book all the way through up until the ending. The final few pages did nothing to explain exactly what was going on. I was left with so many unanswered questions and felt very disappointed.
