★★★★★ I just finished #EveryLastFear from #NetGalley, and I could not be more proud of my fellow Alabamian, Alex Finlay.

SUMMARY: Matt Pine's family is famous...for all the wrong reasons.… Continue reading Kayla’s Arc Review: EVERY LAST FEAR

Had I been more aware of the subject matter,… Continue reading Mystery Monday #7: NIGHT SWIM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-eSOOF7XMk The new movie looks so good. I'm not sure they can outdo the performances of David Suchet and Emily Blunt, but I'll take it. In honor of the fact that I've just watched this trailer (and because Death on the Nile is my favorite Poirot mystery), I will be spending this Mystery Monday reviewing… Continue reading Kayla’s Mystery Monday #6: Death on the Nile
Okay, gang, I might be preaching to the choir here, but I'm going to assume that not everyone knows what a "trope" is. Let me explain. According to tvtropes.org, a trope "is a storytelling device or convention, a shortcut for describing situations the storyteller can reasonably assume the audience will recognize.
