July 31, 2017

Dark Matter
liked it
Dark Matter
by Blake Crouch
What if you were able to go back in life and take the path not taken? It's a fascinating concept. It took a little while to get into, and I got bogged down by the heavy science in the middle but otherwise this is a pretty good book. It's...
The Silent Wife

The Silent Wife
by A. S. A. Harrison
This is a thriller that unravels gradually. The twists aren't sharp but they are there. Every single character is unlikable, their behavior deplorable, but I couldn't help rooting for them at times. I went back and forth between the audi...
