It’s been a whirlwind of reading lately—full of high-stakes mysteries, atmospheric settings, complex characters, and even a few haunting chills. Here’s what I’ve been diving into over the past week. The Break-In by Katherine Faulkner ★★★★☆ Smart, twisty, and tense, The Break-In kept me turning pages late into the night. Set in London, it follows Alice, a mother who kills an intruder in self-defense—only to realize not everything about that night adds up....

Summer reading is my happy place that I got to do in my happy place at the beach. This June and July were packed with stories that took me from dark forests to magical universities to sun-drenched beaches with a mystery or two. I've grouped everything by genre for easy browsing, and each book gets its moment in the sun with a quick two-paragraph review....

It’s been a week of twisty thrillers, slow-burn fantasy, and seaside second chances—and I’m loving every minute of it. Here’s a look at the books I devoured and what made them stand out (or stumble).

a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer It’s been two weeks since I officially became a short-term rental (beach villa) homeowner (!!), and I finally feel like I can breathe a little. Don’t get me wrong—I’m still juggling a million little tasks, but I’m no longer in that mode where every five minutes is spoken for. The villa is starting to feel more settled, the systems are slowly falling into place, and I’m starting to think maybe—...

Thank you, The Write Reads, for my spot on this blog tour. Ultimate Blog Tour My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love a story that plays with quantum physics, alternate realities, and the looming threat of global catastrophe—plus throws in some AI bees and biodomes for good measure—then this wild ride from D.L. Orton might just be your next obsession. I was immediately drawn in by the unique mix of science and survival....
