When No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole ~ Book Review

 

When No One is WatchingWhen No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was quite a thriller. It really made me want to know more about gentrification and how it has been done in the past to present day. This is happening countrywide and now I'm noticing the signs in my city. Alyssa Cole, for me, weaved how she and Theo researched gentrification in the past and how the cycle was affecting their neighborhood presently. When No One is Watching gave me drama, romance, mystery, and thriller energy all at the same time. This was a real page turner for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix ~ Book Review

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn't really know what to expect starting this book. I was unfamiliar with Grady Hendrix as an author. Upon reading the synopsis I felt this was right up my alley. It starts off slow but trust me when you get through the first ten chapters it picks up tremendously. I found myself identifying slightly with the women of the book club. My favorite character seesaws between Kitty and Slick. All of the women had their strengths and definitely had some weaknesses they had to attempt to conquer. This book, once it got going, really held my attention and drove me to keep reading to find out what the heck a book club would do when confronted with vampires.
