March 1st, 2026, 4:15 p.m. - Unimpressive

9. Paper Cut (Rachel Taff)
Not enough action. This should have been much more exciting. There was a cult! There was a murder! Why wasn't I excited??

Up next: Her Last Breath (Taylor Adams)


March 7th, 2026, 3:31 p.m. - I figured out the biggest twist! I'm so proud of myself!

10. Her Last Breath (Taylor Adams)
Adams needs to be a thousand times more famous than he is. He's a master of misdirection and surprises. He must have pored over the details while he was plotting this book, because there was a lot that needed to be obscured for it to work, and I don't think anything fell apart.

Up next: Anatomy of an Alibi (Ashley Elston)


March 14th, 2026, 4:01 p.m. - Why, hello, unnecessary romantic D-plot. How are you today?

11. Anatomy of an Alibi (Ashley Elston)
This had a lot of great twists, and I was admittedly surprised by the identity of Ben's killer, but...I don't know. There was something lacking. I didn't really connect with any of the characters. And Hank seemed tacked on.

Up next: How to Get Away with Murder (Rebecca Philipson)


March 19th, 2026, 6:19 p.m. - I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more from Philipson

12. How to Get Away with Murder (Rebecca Philipson)
This was an excellent elevation of the genre – very smart and complex without being overly complicated. I got lost in this book multiple times, reading more than I thought I would in one sitting. That's the sign of a great book.

Up next: Lost Lambs (Madeline Cash)


March 24th, 2026, 7:43 p.m. - That gnat stuff was weird

13. Lost Lambs (Madeline Cash)
Definitely entertaining, at least until it got really dark toward the end and I felt like I had whiplash. Also, it felt like Louise's character and sections were thin. There was too much going on and too many voices were highlighted for some of the characters to get the details they deserved.

Up next: Escape! (Stephen Fishbach)
