Samantha Lytle | 17 comments Title: "The Last One At The Wedding"
Author: Jason Rekulak
Date Finished: 1/2/25

Rating: 4/5
Would recommend: Yes

Review: I originally wanted to read this because I saw it all over my feed. While I really loved the authors ability to tell the story and develop the characters, there were parts that were a little similar to another book I read last year.

Overall I would recommend this as there were several twists that I did not expect! I also enjoyed the message of no matter how well you raise your children, they make their own decisions in life whether we agree with them or not.

Samantha Lytle | 17 comments Title: "Everyone Here is Lying"
Author: Shari Lapena
Date finished: 1/5/25.

Rating: 3/5
Would recommend: Yes

Review: Although I loved the authors writing style, some of the adjectives used throughout the book were a bit odd and I had to re-read several sections in order to understand what the author meant.

Other than that, the story was very well written, I just wish the ending wasn’t so abrupt.

Rating: 3/5
Would recommend: Yes

Review: This is the second book I’ve read by this author and I enjoyed it. I really like their writing style and the development of this story. I only gave it 3 stars because I suspected early on how the book would end and I was correct� I was hoping to be surprised

Review: This story was very intriguing! The author told it from multiple different character views (which I love) and the overall lesson was one that I think resonates with a lot of people. There were a few twists that I didn't expect and overall I would recommend this book!

Samantha Lytle | 17 comments Title: "Iron Flame "
Author: Rebecca Yarros
Date finished: 1/24/25.

Rating: 5/5
Would recommend: Yes

Review: Before this series, I never considered myself into fantasy, however im completely obsessed with Rebecca Yarros's ability to tell this story. The twists and turns she weaves throughout the book constantly kept me on my toes. It does take me a little longer to read than normal due to the level of detail, but its appreciated since I can picture everything more vividly in my head.

The ending is definitely a cliff hanger so I'm glad I can get started on Onyx Storm!
