Hi! I’m Jenn, a Canadian who recently moved to Bologna, Italy with my husband and our son. I’ve always been a big reader and love to share my reviews with the online world.

Hi, I’m Sherry from Fairfield, Ohio, which is just North of Cincinnati. Mystery/thriller/crime with the unexpected in them are my favorite books.

I’m Joanna, a Londoner who has lived in Wellington, New Zealand since 2001. I have three spoiled cats and a lovely husband. As well as reading/reviewing, I love kayaking and the Outdoors, travel and entertaining. I mostly read action thrillers, crime/mystery and contemporary fiction, but also enjoy occasional historical fiction, urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic and soft sci-fi as the mood takes me. I’ve been reviewing for NetGalley since 2018 and also have a group of authors I review for directly. I’m excited to join The Crew for my first blogging experience! You can find me on GoodReads as The Cats’ Mother. See my reviews.

Hi! I’m Kristin! I was born on Long Island, NY and I currently live in North Carolina with my husband, 2 sons, and our dog, Gizmo. I am an avid book reader, reading mostly any type of thriller or murder mystery. However, occasionally, I do enjoy a cheese romance or rom-com book. I participate in two book clubs, one in person, and one virtual and have met some great people and read some really great books that I would have never picked up otherwise. Make sure to follow me on my Instagram and Goodreads. See my reviews.

Hi I’m Shelley and I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, I am an avid reader and just love a good book and am usually found with my nose in one. I have a never-ending to-be-read pile and am rarely seen without an eBook or a paperback (sometimes both). Some of my favorite genres are thrillers, horror, contemporary, historical, southern fiction, and chick-lit…I also enjoy some science fiction, especially if it contains time travel! My favourite author is Jane Austen and my favourite book of all time is Sense and Sensibility. Follow me on Goodreads here.

Hi, I’m Kristie! I live in the greater Milwaukee area (WI) with my husband, kitties Anna and Elsa, and our 2 children. I’m currently a stay at home mom of our 2 boys, and previously taught middle and high school science, and still work on Climate Change Education for NAAEE. I’ve always loved to read, and I also love board games and hiking, and the occasional video game. I read mostly romantasy, fantasy, romance, and dark academia/gothic mysteries. I throw in the occasional standard mystery/thriller as well, and of course lots and lots of kids books! I love supporting indie authors, and do a lot of ARCs through indie authors and netgalley. I also do freelance editing, which I love! Make sure to follow me on my Instagram and Goodreads. See my reviews.

Our Rating system

We like to have a little fun around here, below you find an outline for our rating system, everything is out of 5. Also you”ll often see we replace the star emoji for something that reflects the read.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐= Knocked my socks off. Will not stop talking about it. Have lost friends because I won’t shut up about it. Will take it personally if you do not stop what you’re doing and start reading it. Would actually read it again. A hot guy who is smart AND so pretty. A perfect cloudless 75 degree day.

⭐⭐⭐⭐= Knocked only one sock off. Will more than likely follow/read everything by the author and will keep a copy on my bookshelf. Chai tea on a cool crisp autumn afternoon.

⭐⭐⭐= Neutral; did not lose any socks over this book and will be wishing I got it at the library instead of purchasing. An average piece of work. If it were an ice cream flavor, it would be vanilla.

⭐⭐= Wouldn’t recommend to someone I like. Overall meh feeling on this one.

⭐ = Waste of time, VERY close to not finishing it but my parents didn’t raise a quitter. Will mourn the loss of time that could’ve been spent reading something else. Kissing someone with bad breath.
