Wilder Girls by Rory Power
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A mysterious island where everything is changing: the woods, the animals, the girls who call it home. All becoming... wilder. This book has some spooky vibes, some mystery, and Le Dollar Beans. There is violence and gore but little to no language and spice. Actually I think none really. Maybe I'm forgetting...

The Southern Book Club's Guide To Hunting Vampires - Review

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ahhh…. 😌 another great read by Grady Hendrix. I read My Best Friend’s Exorcism first. Which was a good choice. Both books are set in the same neighborhood years apart.



I know I reference Practical Magic a lot but I’m gonna do it again with this one. Mostly just the scene with the women coming together united against an evil man. Girl power!

There are some grotesque things that happen in this story. It’s a little explicit but could be much more. So check the trigger warnings. There’s assault, grooming etc.

My favorite character was Kitty. She’s a badass. You’ll see why.

I would definitely reading this book. I finished it within a few days. The character development is good and the pacing is very good. The 90s references were fantastic. And honestly I like books so reading about a book club with women my age, it just was such good fun 😊

I wanted to like this. I really really did. Colleen’s books are constantly recommended on my TikTok feed and this was my first read by her.

I am not a fan…. :/

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid - Review

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 ⭐️
Taylor Jenkins Reid is an expert at creating authentic and deep characters. Honestly there are so many characters in Malibu Rising, it can be overwhelming. Lots of little details about characters that don’t really matter, but after finishing I realize it was to further set the tone. This story has a lot of heart. Not overly plot driven, the focus is on the Riva kids and what makes them tick, along with all those around them and what makes them tick. If you enjoy settings near the ocean and beautiful but flawed families and the 80s, give it a read.
