All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ALL THE SINNERS BLEED by S.A. Cosby is a gripping and gritty novel that delves into the reckoning of sins, both personal and societal. Titus Crowne, the first Black sheriff in Charon County, serves as the book's compelling moral center. The story takes off after a tragic school shooting, revealing the presence of a brutal serial killer in their midst who threatens everything Titus holds dear.

The author skillfully weaves together the complexities of Titus's personal traumas with the challenges of navigating the politics of a Southern small town. The nonstop action keeps readers engaged, while Titus's character shines with depth and authenticity. However, the rushed ending and some undeveloped plot points leave the reader wanting more, particularly regarding the young man involved in the school shooting.

Despite these minor flaws, "All the Sinners Bleed" is an awesome and layered novel that captures the dark realities of the American South. It is a compelling exploration of justice, identity, and the complexities of wearing a police uniform as a Black man.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note by Emma Grey My rating: 3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Review: A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean

A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean My rating: 3 of 5 stars A STORM OF INFINITE BEAUTY by Julianne MacLean left me with mixed feelings. While the premise of Scarlett Fontaine's mysterious life and the connection to Gwen Hollingsworth promised intrigue, the execution fell short. The dual timelines, spanning from Valdez, Alaska in 1963 to Nova Scotia in 2017, lacked a seamless transition, leaving me more captivated by the historical narrative. The portrayal of Gwen and Peter's relationship felt awkward, particularly in discussing Gwen's past with Eric. The narrative, resembling women's fiction, could have thrived as a focused exploration of the Valdez earthquake, bypassing the disjointed present-day plot. Despite its shortcomings, Maclean's descriptive prose crafts vivid settings, from a lush vineyard to a rustic Alaska lodge, making it a worthwhile read for those seeking a scenic journey with a touch of family mystery. ✏ Favourite quote: "I mean, w...
