A wilderness sequel to A Simple Wild , K.A. Tucker wows her reader's again with a heart-swelling romance between an unlikely duo: a Toronto city-girl and an Alaskan-bush pilot. Calla and Jonah were introduced as a quarreling duo in Tucker's first novel, brought together by Calla's terminally-ill father, Wren. Calla ventured into the Alaskan wilderness with hope to spend her father's last days on building a relationship with him that would stick with her well after his passing. Fortunately, it wasn't just Wren's memory that Calla clung to, but Jonah's as well. Wild at Heart  opens with Calla's decision upon returning to Alaska to reunite with Jonah, for good . Not as jarring as last time, but all the same, Calla has to upend her usual city-flare lifestyle and acclimate to the Alaskan wilderness: open acres, outhouses, and roaming, curious animals. How different could things be? For most of the novel, Calla attempts (or so it seems) to morph herself i...

This was a quick weekend read! Suspenseful thrillers are a must-read in my TBR pile, but I wasn't expecting this one to be haunting compared to others. This story takes place in a small town (I'm assuming). The main character, Jo, lives next door to the Marwick House--a haunted establishment with it's own gruesome story. Jo's been living next door for about four years and there has not been a single tenant/family who have stayed for longer than two.

Anna is a recluse young woman just like Jo who is running from a man who ruined her past. Jo finds it fitting to befriend Anna, seeing as she's similar to Jo--a young woman with a broken past, living alone, attempting to live her life as comfortably (and alone) as possible. When Jo has a presence around Anna's house, thing...

I'll never pass up a chance to read another Ruth Ware novel and once again, this choice didn't disappoint. Ruth Ware has a writing style that both lures the reader into the setting of the story and keeps them there throughout the pages. It's difficult to have to ever set a Ware novel down, but when it happens, minutes are counted down until the reader can reunite with it once more. The Lying Game follows main character, Isa, and her three friends, Fatima, Thea, and Kate. All four ladies went to boarding school together for a short amount of time, wreaking havoc by smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and lying to others for points among each other. All four girls underwent a tragic accident in which their relationship between each of them changed for years to come. Lying and secrets became a constant lifestyle choice for each of them. Over a decade later, this story takes place in which all four women come together in a time of need--when their secret is uncovered and ...
