Review: Safe in my Arms - Sara Shepard - July 2021 As soon as I saw that this author had released a new book, I knew I wanted to read it and I would enjoy it as I love everything by Sara Shepard ever since as in my late teens to early 20s, I discovered her Pretty Little Liars series.

Now three years later, Evelyn is found murdered and the cause is a petal of Belladonna in her tea and the recipe left sitting on the kitchen counter. Raven is back and everything is messed up as Bella is sitti...

                                                Review: All Boy - Mia Kerick - June 2019 I have to be honest and say I wasn't sure what this book was about when I started reading it as I had agreed to do the tour as the cover looked amazing - yes, I am a cover crusher and judge the occasional book by its cover.
