If you’re looking for a romance that feels realistic and relatable, this is one to pick up. Not that most of us are actresses like Marissa, but she is trying to navigate life after a humiliating public divorce, parent her children, and make sure her son with autism has the best resources he needs. That’s why she escapes to the Poconos, where she grew up, for the summer.  

Enter Jesse. He and his brother are the building contractors working on Marissa’s grandmother’s lake house. He is so kind and great with the kids.

While Marissa is plagued by her ex-husband and his antics, plus wracked with guilt about wanting to go back to work, she finds comfort in Jesse.

This was such a breath of fresh air! It’s warm, uplifting, and romantic, but it also shows the struggles many women face, especially losing themselves. It also offers a beautiful setting, funny and supportive friends, and the joy of finding someone who just gets you. As much as I loved Marissa and Jesse and watching their romance play out, Jesse’s older brother Toby and his wife Shelby were a hoot. I’d read their love story!

Last week I showed you the amazing package that @flatironbooks sent me for 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁, and now I’ve finished the book! The trilogy is done, wow! I will miss these characters. First, I should preface this by saying 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 probably got me into urban fantasy, so this trilogy is kind of special to me. 

Seriously though, when I closed the book, I sat there thinking: how do I possibly put this into words? It is dark academia, police procedural, paranormal horror, urban fantasy, and friendship fiction, but it’s also intellectual, historical, and bookish.Bardugo takes Yale’s secret societies and their rituals and explores just how far they might go: to hell and back, in fact.

In 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁, the gang is all here: Alex, Darlington, Dawes, Turner, Mercy, and Tripp. Many of them aren’t the same since their last adventure. And Alex and Darlington made one mistake escaping hell: they left the door open. Now they need all their friends’ help cleaning up the demons. 

This was the conclusion I needed. Demons, vampires, ghosts, and Alex is the ultimate kickbutt woman. I loved that the emotional element was ratcheted up too; amazing that you can have all the feels in a fantasy book about demons. 

If you haven’t started this trilogy, I highly recommend you start at the beginning. It is such an intricate and layered read; you will be amazed. 

🎧I used one of my credits from @librofm to try the audiobook. And while I love audiobooks, I imagined Darlington with a bit sexier voice. It was still a great listen for when I had to multitask and didn’t want to stop reading.

Thank you @flatironbooks and @lbardugo for this gifted book.

This book is aptly titled! I started thinking this might be a murder mystery based on a partner’s infidelity, and wow, the plot exploded into something much bigger and more sinister. 

The synopsis doesn’t reveal much, so I don’t want to spoil your read either. I can tell you Clare Mackintosh takes a domestic mystery, blends it with a police investigation, and weaves in timely, cultural, and societal issues happening today. And the characters, some, not all, have real shape. Not necessarily in deep backgrounds, but in hidden or psychological layers, grappling with ideologies or trying to traverse this world unscathed. I need that in a thriller.

The pace never lets you breathe, and you won’t be certain of people’s intentions, loyalties, or prejudices. It’s clever, it’s tense, and just when you think you have it figured out, it’s not what you think! 

🎧 Thank you @sourcebooks.audio for the gifted audio. The full cast of narrators did an excellent job, and it brought this twisty thriller to life. Hearing the characters added an even more emotional edge to this story about people’s intolerance and hatred.

Thank you @bookmarked for this gifted book.

I’ve had this book on my shelf for a few months, but the beginning of fall felt like the perfect time for a story about protecting the land and the forest. When I was young, I played in the trees behind our house; now much has been cleared for subdivisions. This book brought back memories. 

Three women, at different stages of their lives and carrying different pain and trauma, are brought together to save the last ancient oak as the forest is cleared for development. 

I was taken by how the author used these women, of various ages and having suffered loss and pain, to connect and even commune with nature. It explores environmentalism without being preachy, but in a more mystical way. It utilizes magical realism and our relationship with nature to appeal to your senses. While you do have to use your imagination, the ending was surprisingly emotional, and it painted a beautiful picture of healing and growth.

🎧 Thank you @macmillan.audio for the gifted audiobook. Having Alexandra Ryan, Jennifer Blom, and Mia Hutchinson-Shaw narrate the three women made it feel more personal and allowed me to connect with each of them and their journeys. 

Thank you @stmartinspress for this gifted book.

This is my third book by Lia Louis, and I always enjoy my time spent in her stories. What usually stands out in her books is the quirky but kind characters. I found that here in Milo, an actor, and Allie, a seabird scientist. 

This starts with a meet-cute or text-cute as Allie and Milo accidentally swap phones on a flight, which instantly sets up their awkward yet possibly romantic situation.

Okay, so miscommunication plays a part in their fallout, and I know some of you aren’t a fan. But what happens next is funny, emotional, adventurous, and you learn about baby puffins! I think it’s worth it. 

With supportive best friends and a scenic Arctic setting, you’ll be rooting for Milo and Allie, and you may be surprised by who set them up to fail in the first place.  

🎧 I grabbed the audiobook from @everand_us, and it was a great addition to the eBook. Do you use any audiobook services?

I admit I was curious about this because I had never heard of ayahuasca. 

As someone who has struggled with chronic pain and depression most of my life and who, after making a cross-country move, lost most of my support, I related to Shannon’s journey in several ways.

And here, she tells her story with such openness and humor that I felt like I had spent time with a friend by the end. 

She and her family moved to Hawaii, and while it seemed like Paradise, the kids weren’t happy, and she missed her friends; everything felt unsettled. So she decided to try an ayahuasca retreat. There, she partook in sacred ayahuasca plant-medicine healing rituals, a process that can help meet unprocessed pain and distorted energy you may be carrying, inspiring hope for growth. 

I have tried many holistic forms of medicine, and I believe they have their place. What I love about this book is that Shannon shares her journey with ayahuasca, but it’s also about life as a mother, wife, and woman. She’s funny, big-hearted, and relatable whether you try this jungle plant or not.

I’ve been waiting three years to learn what happened to Eden, Gen, and Amanda. I wanted justice for them, but I also wanted healing and peace. I don’t want to say too much for those who haven’t started the series, but I do want to voice a few things.  

These books may be considered young adult, following these young women over several years, but the topics are important and need to be discussed. They are not easy reads, and I’m certain they will be triggering for many. (If you have concerns, please reach out.)

Eden was brave enough to take a stand against her rapist, but she needed the support and the corroboration of his ex-girlfriend and even his sister! (Yes, you read that correctly.) And the legal proceedings were brutal. 

In this final book, we see that life doesn’t just move on for the victims. Amber Smith compassionately and realistically portrays how each woman’s life has been changed, whether it’s fractured relationships with friends and family (who don’t believe them), a loss of trust, anxiety attacks, or simply feeling helpless. 

Amber just kept pulling at my heart when she brought an abused dog into the mix, the voiceless and misunderstood. Okay, I better stop, or I’ll say too much. 

If you haven’t read any of the other books, you can pick this up; it does have flashbacks to help fill in the gaps. I recommend this series. It’s a powerful reminder that we need to lift our voices and not be silenced. Plus, as survivors, it is too painful to walk alone.

🎧 I was so thankful for the gifted audiobook from @simon.audio. Narrators Rebekkah Ross, Devon Sorvari, and Kimberly Woods truly brought these young women to life for me. Hearing their distinct voice helped me to connect with each of them.

Thank you @simonteen for this gifted book.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:

Artist Poppy Reed doesn’t care if others think her marriage to Celia Marie Fox, a wealthy art dealer, is impulsive. Sure, they’ve only known each other for six months, and Celia has an infamous romantic reputation, but Poppy is brimming with excitement when she moves across the country to Celia’s home: a formidable, isolated, and art-filled manor called Busirane.

As Poppy tries to celebrate her first weeks of marriage and enjoy her new home, Busirane seems intent on rebuffing her every attempt to settle in. Strange noises and confounding occurrences lead Poppy to believe the house is haunted, a suspicion worsened by Celia’s insistence that Poppy avoid the locked basement.

When Celia leaves for a work trip, Poppy is left alone in the house, then finds herself snowed in. Surrounded by secrets, stalked by faceless statues, and beset by bodiless whispers, she struggles to trust her wife—and her own mind. When Poppy is eventually drawn to the forbidden basement, dark truths shatter everything she thought she knew, throwing her into a desperate bid for survival.
