'Wahala' by Nikki May

There was so much that I loved about this book. First of all, the main characters, a trio of biracial women in the UK--sweet Ronke,...

'What Have We Done' by Alex Finlay

I enjoyed this one; my first by this author. This book is a great illustration of why this genre is called 'thriller'. I wish I had a...

'The Angel Maker' by Alex North

Thanks for this read #NetGalley! Not sure how to classify this one, honestly. It has elements of mystery, thriller, horror and a smidge...

'On Rotation' by Shirlene Obuobi

A sweet, fun, well-rounded read. Angie Appiah has her hands full, trying to make it through med school, live up to the high expectations...

'Maame' by Jessica George

I loved this book. Sometimes books come at the right time, and this one did for me. But I'm not sure there would have been a wrong time....

'Tell Me Lies' by Carola Lovering

Remember that time you dated that guy who you later realized might be a sociopath? Well, that's basically what this book is about. It...

'The Suspect' by Fiona Barton

I didn't know when I started this book that it's part of a three-book series, but as it turned out, that didn't matter. Though there were...

'The Murder Rule' by Dervla McTiernan

I love this author. I really do. But I have no idea why she thought it would be a good idea to fix what wasn't broken. Her previous...

'Good Intentions' by Kasim Ali

So ... wow. This one was a gut punch. Nur is a good Pakistani son, one who agonizes over making his parents proud and setting a good...

'Post-Traumatic' by Chantal V. Johnson

Oh, Vivian. The main character in this book reminds me of the friend we all have---the one who is high-functioning and scarily smart, but...

'Nobody's Magic' by Destiny O. Birdsong
