From the first page, The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club is funny and charming. As a millennial I will say that I immediately was reminded of John Tucker Must Die, and seeing that connection in the publisher’s summary makes so much sense. First of all, I love the group of Kat, Olivia, and Elle. Each one of … More ARC Review: The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club by Gloria Chao

I loved Katharine McGee’s American Royals series, and I was excited to read A Queen’s Game. Both are full of escapist glitz, glamour, romance, and political drama. While the American Royals series envisions a fictional world in which America was founded as a monarchy, A Queen’s Game explores some real life European monarchies, which made … More ARC Review: A Queen’s Game Katharine McGee
