I absolutely loved this. A psychopathic serial killer governess in Victorian times. Rich, gluttonous, awful people. This book is brilliant. Winnifred, the governess and narrator, is (unintentionally?) hilarious in her blunt way of describing the horrors she has inflicted and her observations of the horrendous family she works for. I love her. 

Man, I love Jason Pargin. This is a thrilling adventure through a toxic landscape (America) with lots of violence and vitriol and it’s a blast. 💥 

They are, in fact, in love. 5/5 on the Steam scale (lots of sex on the page, hot hot chemistry, lots of good consent and communication). Ali Hazelwood remains one of my faves. Also the male narrator on the audiobook sounded a little bit like Joe Goldberg, but without the stalker serial killer vibes, and it was very hot. 

Insidious insomnia. Drug trials. Rats. Side effects. This novella accomplishes a lot in just a few pages. 

A worthy sequel! This one has a government battle and more powers and another magical child alongside our faves from the first, and so so much more. It’s lovely and fierce. 

I’m so grateful to my bookstore customer who told me to read this. It’s an incredible possession story from the perspective of the woman being possessed. Absolutely phenomenal, scary, unsettling. I couldn’t put it down. 

That was unbearable. I could go into all of the details that made me hate this book, but I’d rather just forget I read it. 

This series is a blast. If you like the others, you’ll like this one! I love The Minotaur so much. So gruff, so violent, but he loves Ariadne so much. Beauty and the beast. 

Crime Horror! A bank heist gone wrong, a buzzing shapeshifter, and long-buried memories resurfacing. This is a supernatural romp. 

Grief. Pain. Sorrow. A father grappling with the unknowns surrounding the murder of his son takes a fiction-writing course to try to write himself some closure. Sometimes in writing you have to kill your darling.
