ARC Review:  After We Burned by Marieke Nijkamp

ARC Review: After We Burned by Marieke Nijkamp

Blurb: She deserved more. They all did. A gripping and emotional new suspense novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This is Where it Ends. A terrible accident. A horrible loss. A regrettable tragedy. That’s all anyone in Fenix can talk about when a fire consumes the local high school, taking the life of a […]

ARC Review:  King’s Legacy (Tennessee Russo #2) by L.C. Rosen

ARC Review: King’s Legacy (Tennessee Russo #2) by L.C. Rosen

Blurb: Tennessee Russo has done more difficult things than this before. He’s evaded traps, found lost treasures, become kind of famous, gotten over a bad relationship, and survived all that. Filming a new season of his artifact-hunting reality show for a major international streaming service should be easy, right? His archeologist dad even said Tennessee […]
