Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane

 

Solid.

Read between the Lies by Jesse Q. Sutanto

 

So this was interesting. I'll be vague to avoid spoilers, but the main character is problematic -- but does that mean the book is? Definitely a lot here to talk and think about.

The Editor by Steven Rowley

 

So much fun.

Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood

 

Meh 

Silver State by Gabriel Urza

 

Interesting.

Chemistry by Weike Wang

 

Trailbreaker by Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare

 

I hate to be mean, but: this book reads as if you asked an LLM to generate a mystery novel. All the boxes are checked, but there is nothing, well, novel here.

The Great Shadow by Susan Wise Bauer

 

I have been a Susan Wise Bauer fangirl forever, but this book still completely exceeded by expectations. It was just so interesting. Highly recommended.

Rowley is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Woke Up This Morning by Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa

 

So much fun.

 Decent.
