A review for the second book in the Layla Virtue cozy mystery series by Libby Klein. Gimme Shelter is just as fun as the first book in the series, Vice and Virtue. I love the characters and the mysteries are a lot of fun too.

ARC Review: When the World Drowns

ARC Review: A YA Thriller
A review for the new book by coauthors Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss. The Escape Game is a YA contemporary mystery thriller with very high stakes.
