I listened to *You Don’t Own Me* on the Libby app and really enjoyed it. The narration was good and made it easy to stay engaged with the story. I especially liked that the book featured multiple POVs and was fast-paced. Nothing felt unnecessarily dragged out to fill pages, which kept the momentum strong throughout.
That said, I felt the characters could have been a bit more fleshed out. However, this was my first read from the series, so it’s possible I missed some depth that might be clearer in earlier books. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves a quick, suspenseful mystery!

This book had potential but ultimately fell flat for me. While the premise promised a gripping exploration of artificial intelligence and its consequences, the story was disappointingly predictable. The narrative unfolded in a way that felt overly familiar, lacking the originality needed to truly captivate.
There is one massive twist at the end, but unfortunately, it didn’t make up for the rest of the book’s shortcomings. Rather than elevating the story, the twist felt like an attempt to salvage what had been a formulaic plot. Overall, while the book had a few moments of intrigue, it didn’t bring anything new to the table. Fans of psychological horror or AI-driven stories might find it passable, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression.
My rating is a 2.5 rounded up to 3

I am sitting here absolutely stunned, wondering what on earth I just read. This book is nothing short of mind-blowing.
After hearing so many rave reviews, I was hesitant to pick it up. I worried it couldn’t possibly live up to the hype. I delayed and delayed, but I finally caved and got it on Kindle. From the moment I started, I was hooked. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, even at work. Desperate to keep going while multitasking, I hunted down an audiobook version, and when I saw it on Audible, I used my last credit without hesitation.
And wow—what an experience. This story is a masterclass in tension, trauma, and the unexpected. The way it explores victims and survival is utterly haunting, and the twists had me gasping out loud. It’s gripping, unrelenting, and left me questioning everything by the end. I can’t stop thinking about it, even now. If you’re on the fence about this one, don’t wait—read it. You’ll be stunned too.

Hello, Juliet by Samantha M. Bailey is one of those books that grabs you from the first page, and you just know it’s going to be an insanely fun ride. Bailey always delivers on twisty, fast-paced thrillers, and wow—she really outdid herself here. The story follows a reunion of former co-stars from a hit TV show, but what should be a celebration quickly spirals into a web of secrets, betrayal, and danger. No one is trustworthy, and nothing is what it seems until the very last page.
One of the things I loved most about this book is how it dives into the dark side of Hollywood. It explores how the pressures of fame, the constant scrutiny, and the false promises of glitz and glam can shatter someone young and new to the industry. Bailey captures the allure and the cracks beneath the surface perfectly. The characters are layered, each hiding something—and the twists will have you questioning everyone’s motives. It’s the kind of book that keeps you guessing and gasping right up to the finale.
If you love a thriller with glamour, intrigue, and a hefty dose of betrayal, Hello, Juliet will not disappoint. It’s sharp, suspenseful, and deliciously deceptive—everything a great psychological thriller should be.

I really enjoyed this one. More than I had expected to. I loved the short bingeable chapters. The pacing is great, the characters empathetic it’s such a great blend of mystery, thrillers and family drama.
This book wrecked me in ways I wasn’t ready for. It’s gripping, emotional, and full of twists that kept me hooked till the last page. The story dives deep into trust, betrayal, and the weight of secrets, with characters so real they practically breathe. The suspense? Perfectly paced. The emotions? Gut-wrenching.

I had a great time reading The Vacancy in Room 10! This thriller takes place in The Sycamores, a rundown apartment complex where secrets lurk behind every door. Anna moves in, trying to uncover the truth about her husband’s hidden past, but she quickly butts heads with Cass, the no-nonsense property manager who has her own baggage.
For me, Cass’s arc was the standout—she felt layered and real, and I was way more invested in her journey than Anna’s. The setting was eerie, the twists kept me guessing, and the tension built up perfectly. Some moments felt a bit over the top, but honestly, I didn’t mind. If you love a moody, suspenseful thriller with flawed but fascinating characters, this one’s worth picking up!
As a fellow black sheep of the family (I wear it as a badge of honor now), I had to read this one—and it did not disappoint! Lisa Scottoline delivers a legal thriller packed with family drama, murder, and enough secrets to keep you flipping pages late into the night.
TJ Devlin is the outcast in his successful, lawyer-filled family. He’s trying to rebuild his life after past mistakes, but when he stumbles onto a murder tied to his family’s law firm, things take a wild turn. The deeper he digs, the messier things get—because in this family, the truth is a dangerous thing.
This book is so much fun. It’s fast-paced, full of juicy family tension, and had me hooked from the start. But I have to say—the ending? A little underwhelming for me. I wanted more of a punch. Still, it’s a solid, entertaining read that’s perfect if you love legal thrillers with complex family dynamics.
