One of my favorites, such a quick, thrilling read. Bonus points because there is a movie coming out soon! Cannot wait to see the comparison.
Verity
I was hesitant to pick this book up, as the cover seems like a type of book I would not enjoy. Let's just say I am glad I did. It is a longer book so it took me a bit to read, but I thought it was VERY good. It does cover some heavy topics and the au...
Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1) by H.D. Carlton
Love, love, love this book. I hear mixed review that it is a slow storyline, but I read it very fast and cried. There is a second book to this that needs to be read afterwards, that you can find in lower review category.
If He Had Been With Me
Good book.
The Boyfriend - McFadden, Freida: Books
This was a very thrilling book and kept me on the edge of my seat. Hulu also has a movie out of this and surprisingly did a decent job deciphering the novel.
No Exit (2022)
This book pleasantly surprised me and I read it very fast! Sometimes Colleen is pretty typical, but I thought it was an excellent, quick read!
Woman Down: A Novel
This book lived up to its ratings for me! I thought it was quite thrilling and kept me up at night wanting to read more!!
The Intruder
Thought this book was excellent and expressed such great character growth. I cannot wait to watch the movie!!
Reminders of Him: A Novel
LOVED this series! Read them all in less than week and watched the movie once it came out! The book was excellent and had me sucked in with every sentence. I also recommend watching the movie, because it was very relatable to the books. McFadden has ...
The Housemaid: Addictive Psychological Thriller
4/5 Stars
This was a cute read. Definitely more of a youn-adult style read, though.
Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover
This was the first Hoover book I read that made me fall in love with her writing! Such a good storyline. Recent movie came out as well, definitely does not do the book justice, but no movie ever does :)
It Ends with Us: A Novel by Colleen Hoover
Nothing negative to say on this book.
The Night Nanny: Addictive Psychological Thriller
THIS IS A SECOND BOOK IN A SERIES. In all honesty, there is also a third one in the series, but I cannot imagine myself reading i, at least anytime soon. I feel like this book closed the chapter that was left off in book one and gave an interesting s...
Hunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet 2)
Another good read
Don't Believe Her by Nicola Sanders
This is the second book to ‘If He Had Been With Me’ and this one was much slower than that of the first book. I still thoroughly enjoyed it, just as I did the first. It was interesting to see the different perspectives of two male characters rather t...
If Only I Had Told Her by Laura Nowlin
An interesting novel with a twist!
My Husband's Wife: A Novel
An estranged novel for sure! I was hesitant and nervous it would be a DNF for me, but ended up thinking it was an great book.
Pretty Girls: A Novel
This book got me out of such a deep reading slump. PLOT TWIST!!
The Things We Leave Unfinished
3/5 Stars
I love Collen Hoover! I always read her books very fast
Never Never - Colleenhoover.com
Disclaimer: Read ‘It Ends with Us’ FIRST! This book gets a lower rating as the book was a little bit more ‘boring’ in my opinion. But it does give readers more of their happy ending storyline.
It Starts with Us: A Novel by Colleen Hoover
I liked it, but didn't love it. It was a decent book.
Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas
Couldn't decide whether this one belongs in the 3 star category or the 4 star category. I thought it was a good book
The Teacher: McFadden, Freida
A young-adult novel that was kind of predictable.
Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas
This was…..interesting. I did not love it.
THE GIRLS IN THE CABIN Psychological Thriller
Very good book that dives into a deep topic, school shootings.
This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp
This was a VERY popular book recently, and in all honesty it was strange. I did not understand all the hype. There were steamy scenes that were very descriptive, however I just didn't like it as much as other books.
Credence by Penelope Douglas
Honestly, I was expecting much, much more.. I watched the television series and unfortunately, for the first time I thought that was better than the book. I read it very quickly, but did not care to read the rest of the series.
The Summer I Turned Pretty
This book was not definitely not what I was expecting. The plot was very abnormal to me.
Layla
I read the book and watched the movie and I thought it deserved a three star rating because it was very young-adult. Cute and heart-felt, however can see it being enjoyed by more of a younger audience.
Regretting You
2/5 Stars
I may be rating this book a little biased as it took me literally FOREVER to finish. I just did not enjoy the writing style and found it hard to follow. Since it took me so long to get through it, I feel like I cannot give it more than two stars as I...
Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow
1/5 Stars
HATED this book. I almost DNF'ed it. I had a free audible trial and this was one of the options it gave me. I think I would've liked it better if I didn't hear the voices of the audiobook because it ruined it for me. Took me a very long time to read....
