title: Let Me Go (Archie & Gretchen #6)

author: Chelsea Cain

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
genre(s): Fiction, Mystery, Thriller

my thoughts: under the cut, no spoilers.

Okay sooo I love these characters and I love reading this series. It would have been cool to have a conclusion but I’m also looking forward to more (I hope we get more anyway). I can see why some people would be tired of Gretchen getting away yet again but eh I didn’t mind. I was also able to handle Susan a little better in this book than in the other ones. Anyway I recommend this series to everyone but maybe #5 & #6 for die hard Archie and Gretchen fans.

title: Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park #1)

author: Michael Crichton

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
genre(s): Science Fiction, Fiction, Thriller, Adventure

my thoughts: under the cut, no spoilers.

This was such a fun read and imo far better than the movie. Okay don’t get me wrong I still love the movie and I always try my hardest not to compare books and movies but I love that this book gave me so much more about the concept and the characters. It grabbed right in the first paragraph and I didn’t want to stop reading. I needed to find out how it ended and I’m really looking forward to the sequel. Some of the science and math went over my head (two of my worst subjects in school) but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the book.

title: Behind Closed Doors

author: B.A. Paris

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
genre(s): Mystery, Thriller, Fiction

my thoughts: under the cut for spoilers.

This book is definitely a thriller and a very easy read that kept me interested. I wouldn’t say it’s a mystery, pretty much everything is right there in the beginning as well as in the summary but that didn’t make the story any less intriguing. You want to find out what’s going to happen next and I was rooting for Grace to escape. Jack was terrible! The main characters were wonderfully written.

A5. A book with a fruit or vegetable in the title – Tangerine by Christine Mangan

Finished 09/28/18

I was immediately sucked into this story and it was a very quick read. The ending did leave me wanting. I wanted something more final but I guess that’s life and this story was true to that. This is the author’s first novel and I hope she has plans for more books in the future because I enjoyed her writing.

A1. A bestseller from the year you graduated high school – The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly

Finished 09/21/18

I read The Poet by Michael Connelly back when I was in high school and I didn’t know there was a second Jack McEvoy book until I went searching for a book to fit this prompt. It was fun to read about McEvoy and Walling once again. I like their dynamic and how realistic Connelly portrays these characters. They’re human and humans are not perfect and that was one of my favorite things about The Poet. I’m glad I came across this book and that I was able to read it. I plan to check out more of Connelly’s books.
