Here is my 4.02 rounded to 4 stars review of A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon

Here is my 4 star review of Good Dog, Bad Cop
by David Rosenfelt: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The story captivated me with the terrifying realism of the prologue. A twisty, deeply involved, and absorbing plot kept me engaged throughout this riveting mystery. With twists and turns, the investigation builds momentum until it peaks with an edge-of-your-seat finish.
I had the pleasure of reading an arc of Anni Taylor's coming release Birds in Flight. I became a fan of Taylor after reading One Last Child and am highly impressed with her ability to deliver a highly atmospheric thriller with heart. 5 Stars My Review.

January Red.
Welcome to The Experiment.
I've been very much enjoying this murder mystery series set in Oxford featuring DI Hillary Green. She's such a good detective and team leader and the cases are twisty and interesting.

Here's my 3.3 rounded to 3 stars review of Missing Clarissa
by Ripley Jones:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Young adult mystery
Overall, this was intriguing, entertaining, and had an action packed ending with diverse characters. However, some of the items revealed in the interviews seemed unrealistic for adults to divulge to teenagers.
I greatly enjoyed this romantic/suspense Forget What You Knowhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A classic that I somehow missed! A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle has everything I'd have loved as a young reader: kids on a quest, a mysterious missing father, magic spirits, time travel, and Evil to be overcome! I still enjoyed it now.
