March New Releases

IT'S TIME FOR MORE NEW RELEASES! Also I apologize I was MIA last month, but I am back.


The Flight Attendant- Chris Bohjalian
Release Date: 3.13.18
Genre: Mystery, Thriller

The protagonist is a flight attendant and a binge drinker. While she maybe used to the occasional blackouts, when she awakes in a Dubai hotel room and notices the man she was with the night before, lying in a pool of blood, she tries to piece together what exactly happened the night before and tries to figure out whether or not she killed him.


To Kill a Kingdom- Alexandra Christo
Release Date: 3.6.18
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy

This book is about Lira, who is siren loyalty as well as the most lethal siren. In a twist of events, Lira is forced to kill one of her own and as punishment the Sea Queen turns Lira into a human. In order for Lira to become a siren again, she must bring the Sea Queen the heart of Prince Elian. For some reason this is giving me some dark, twisty Little Mermaid vibes and I'm super excited.



Children of Blood and Bone- Tomi Adeyemi
Release Date: 3.6.18
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy

This story revolves around Zelie Adebola who remembers when her home used to be saturated with magic, but when a ruthless king takes over, the magic disappears. Zelie must work with a rogue princess to bring magic back to the land before the crown prince eradicates magic for good. I've heard people say that this is similar to the Harry Potter series, but I'm kinding of getting Throne of Glass vibes from the synopsis (maybe just because I'm currently reading the series.)


The Case for Jamie- Brittany Cavallaro
Release Date: 3.6.18
Genre: Young Adult, Mystery, Retellings

Now I don't want to say too much about this specific book (or even read the synopsis) because I haven't read the second book to this trilogy and I have (unfortunately) read the first sentence of the synopsis on goodreads and I feel like the book has been ruined (the 2nd book not this one.) But the premise of the series is that Sherlock and Watson were in fact real people and a few generations later Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson meet as if by destiny (not really but trying not to spoil). At the boarding school they both attend, they must find who killed their classmate, when it seems like they are the main suspects. I thought/ hoped there would be more books in this series and I'm slightly upset that this is the last book.

Lock Every Door Review

Image
 Okay, so I figured that everyone that wants to reads this book has already read it, but GUYS, this book was so good! As much as I want to talk to people about all the spoilery things that happened, I know that I need to make this review a push for people that are on the fence or people that insist they aren't going to read this book, to read it. So, the book is about a woman named Jules who, at the beginning of the book, was let go from her job and broke up with her cheating boyfriend in the same day or at least relatively close together, and finds a job listing that she can't turn down. Apartment sitting for 3 months accruing her a total of 12 thousand dollars at the prestigious Bartholomew, a glamorous and secretive apartment complex in Manhattan. While things seem a bit off, such as the rules that she's not allowed to have visitors or that she's not allowed to sleep away from the property, but Jules chalks it to the other tenants wanting their privacy, si

Microphones and Murders Review

    It's time for another ARC review. I did receive this book via Edelweiss, so shout out to them, but this is a cozy mystery centered around two sisters creating a true-crime podcast. There is representation for those that are hard of hearing since there is a character who is now completely deaf (I don't know how well this is done because I do not fit into this demographic and to my knowledge, this isn't own voices for it). But the book is about Liv Olson who used to work as a sound engineer in the #1 podcast series in the country, but now has given up that job to start her own podcast with her younger stepsister, Camry, called Missing or Murdered and the first season is surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Clark, a young woman who went missing after a Youtube video of her went viral that wasn't the most flattering. So Liv and Camry decide to head to Santa Maria to investigate.    Oh my gosh, is this so lighthearted and fun. It's very much a stereotypical c

Murder Monday #7 The Parachute Murder

    Okay, if there was ever a way to end the month of love it's with talking about the Parachute Murder, granted I never heard of it before I started researching for the blog, but oh boy are you guys in for a doozy.    So, everything started on November 18, 2006, when Els Van Doren, Els Clottemans, and Marcel Somers went skydiving together and it ended up with Van Doren's primary and reserve parachute failing to deploy, causing her to fall to her death from the height of over 2 miles. The police established that the cords of the parachute had been cut and Van Doren's video camera captured the dive (I have no idea if the video is out there, but I didn't really want to watch someone plummet to their death.) As the police continued the investigation and learned of a love triangle between the three of them, in which Clottemans was in love with Sommers and Sommers was in love with Van Doren AND Van Doren and Clottemans had a sexual relationship with Sommers. So Clotte
