After Dark follows Tokyo’s night people from last train to first light. My review of Haruki Murakami’s one-night novel — pretty prose, good dialog, zero interest in being a page-turner.

This Is How You Lose the Time War is the prettiest aperitif in sci-fi — love letters between rival time agents. My honest review: gorgeous prose, blurred voices, and a story that needed more runway.

Three couples, one luxury cabin, a storm, and secrets that run deep. My review of Lisa Unger’s Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six — a totally solid thriller that could have used one more twist.

I finished Rain of Shadows and Endings unsure how I felt — and got the sequel anyway. My honest review of Melissa K. Roehrich’s Legacy series opener, verdict pending.

The Wolf King wears its ACOTAR inspiration openly: captive princess, wolf court, slow thaw. My honest review — solid twists, sketch-level characters, and who should actually read it.

One for the Money is a voice-y, funny 1994 page-turner that still works. My review of Janet Evanovich’s first Stephanie Plum book — and a toast to mysteries that like their characters.

The Inheritance Games has one of YA’s best premises: a stranger inherits a billionaire’s fortune and a mansion full of puzzles. My honest review of where it shines and where it telegraphs.

Keri Lake’s Nocticadia is a moody dark academia gothic with a twisty plot and an island university full of secrets. My spoiler-free review, one honest caveat included.

My Women Who Run With the Wolves review: of every book on my shelf, this is the one I physically press into people’s hands most often. Here’s why.

The Poet Empress is a beautiful, bleak fantasy that is not the romantasy its shelf placement suggests. My spoiler-free review of Shen Tao’s debut — poetry magic, palace knives, one slow middle act.
