Jennie's Review Dark fantasy can wander down so many paths, and this one doesn’t follow a straight line so much as it spins a web. Character lives unfold at various times and ages, yet the author never lets the reader get lost. Through subtle clues and smart chapter openings, you’re given just enough of a … Continue reading After the Sky Falls by Arden Fang
Body Man: A Thriller by Al Pessin
Jennie's Review This one leans in hard—and I mean hard—to the “what if things really spiral?” question. Al Pressin delivers a deep dive into both sides of the American political divide without playing favorites. It’s a cautionary tale that feels a little too close to reality for comfort. Told from two points of view—both adult … Continue reading Body Man: A Thriller by Al Pessin
The Winter Verdict (Book 2) by Dan Buzzetta
Jennie's Review I’d barely caught my breath from book one when this sequel popped onto my radar—and honestly, I was ready for it. Familiar faces are back, but the setting? Total shift. We go from the high-powered buzz of D.C. to a small town wrapped around a ski resort, which definitely made me pause. Would … Continue reading The Winter Verdict (Book 2) by Dan Buzzetta

Travers Bend (The Newcome Family Saga Book 1) by Richard S. Brown
Jennie's Review This was such a lovely, settle-in-and-sigh kind of read. There’s just enough drama and adventure to keep things moving as one family sets out to build a new life in a brand-new community in the 1850s—but what really shines is the heart of it all: the family itself. No matter the time period … Continue reading Travers Bend (The Newcome Family Saga Book 1) by Richard S. Brown
Three-Sided Heart by Lisa Reifsnider
My Review Full disclosure—I’ve had a front-row seat for this one. This author is not only a dear friend but also a client, and I’ve watched her journey from that first spark of an idea through learning the craft, tackling revisions (and more revisions), and navigating all the starts and stops that come with bringing … Continue reading Three-Sided Heart by Lisa Reifsnider
The Cardboard King by Chris Atkin
My Review Wait…you mean to tell me this author—who has absolutely mastered the memoir space—is casually stepping into historical fiction now? Color me intrigued…and yes, a tiny bit skeptical at first. I’ll admit, it took me a beat to reset my expectations. I’m so used to that warm, personal, “come sit by me and let … Continue reading The Cardboard King by Chris Atkin
The Hunted by Steven Max Russo
Jennie's Review Okay, full disclosure: the chores did not get done this weekend—but I read a great book, so priorities were clearly in order. From the very first scene, The Hunted had me hooked. The pacing moves fast and never lets up, making this one of those “just one more chapter” reads… until sleep finally … Continue reading The Hunted by Steven Max Russo
RELEASE DAY – Shattered Links (Cari Turnlyle #8) By Leslie Piggott
Jennie's Review This is the kind of series that keeps pulling me back in, because I genuinely want to know what happens next in Cari’s life. Leslie Piggott has a real knack for setting a scene and then patiently letting all the pieces unfold—not just the mystery itself, but the thoughtful, sometimes messy process it … Continue reading RELEASE DAY – Shattered Links (Cari Turnlyle #8) By Leslie Piggott
The Manipulator By Dan Buzzetta
Jennie's Review Let’s start with the good stuff. The Manipulator delivers plenty of drama, some delicious behind-the-scenes maneuvering (yes, the title absolutely earns its keep), and a steady dose of action. Dan Buzzetta clearly knows his craft—this is a professionally written book that moves smoothly and keeps the pages turning. Now for the not-so-great. The … Continue reading The Manipulator By Dan Buzzetta
