I am not a very adventurous person, but Aces Wild made me want to be! Pulling off a heist to save the ones you love seems like a daunting task, but against the backdrop of the Vegas casinos our main characters aren't even old enough to enter, the stakes are that much higher! I lived for the shenanigans and even more, I relished in the friend group that grew to love and cherish each other.

I was so excited to see this next book by Janice Hallett was on its way. Told in the style of voice recordings and voicemail messages, The Twyford Code is one for those who love twisty puzzles and mysteries you solve right along with the characters!

When this mystery novel begins, the premise seems as if it is every writer's dream - to spend a month under the expertise of a talented, established, dedicated author - and 5 women embark on the adventure of a lifetime until it becomes something much darker than any of them could have ever imagined.

My fiancee read this book to me earlier this year. It has been one of her favorite series since it was published, and I can see why. This fantasy is packed with quirky, unique characters who share a world with the dead unlike anything I've read before.

This story about five friends getting lost in the woods will leave you feeling like you got lost along with them and wondering if you can ever truly know the ones you thought you held close.

It's difficult for me to put into words all that this book made me feel. Pinches of sadness and loss at all that Stevie forgot, hopefulness for what her life could be beyond her amnesia, the opportunities of a blank slate. The joy and safety in a found family squeezed at my heart, the relief in finally being able to be who you are and love who you love. The triumph of a queer love story coming out on top. I laughed, I cried my eyes out, I want to read it a million times over.
