Rules For Ruin
by Mimi Matthews
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was a major letdown. I went in expecting gothic romance and intrigue, but what I got was a painfully slow plot, flat characters, and a love story that felt forced and underdeveloped. The heroine lacked depth, the pacing dragged, and even the “ruin” part didn’t feel particularly high-stakes or emotionally compelling. Mimi Matthews usually delivers, but this felt like a rough draft compared to her other work. I kept waiting for the story to pick up or surprise me—but it never did. Disappointing from start to finish.

A fascinating and delightful discussion with Judi Dench following her career performing in Shakespeare’s works. Full of humor, anecdotes, and insights into The Bard’s plays.

Razorblade Tears
by SA Cosby

book cover


Razorblade Tears is a gut-wrenching, beautifully brutal masterpiece. S.A. Cosby crafts a storyline that’s as thrilling as it is emotionally profound. At its heart, this is more than a revenge tale—it’s a powerful exploration of grief, redemption, and the bonds between fathers and sons. The story follows two ex-cons, one Black and one white, brought together by the murder of their married sons. As they seek justice, they're also forced to confront their own prejudices, regrets, and the unconditional love they denied their children. Every chapter peels back layers of pain, loss, and humanity with raw intensity. Cosby's writing is electric—fast-paced yet poetic, violent yet tender. He pulls no punches in portraying the harsh realities of bigotry, masculinity, and forgiveness, but balances it with aching vulnerability. This book doesn’t just entertain—it cuts deep and lingers long after the final page. A gripping, heart-breaking, and unforgettable ride.

Not as good as his Thursday Murder Club series

Ocean Prey

Way too much testosterone. The way they talk about women was a huge turn off.

First book was the best, each one in the series is less compelling

Never After: The Thirteenth Fairy

This book might be one of the best fractured fairytales that l’ve ever read. I love how the author tied the magical world to the normal world. It was a nice book and it really filled my mind with all of the magic. It’s a great book for those who enjoy fractured fairytales. And it’s also a great book for anyone, if they wanted to read it.

Never gave it a thought about who created a dictionary. Amazing to know the process it took behind each and every word. Good parallel story line about women’s struggles . Enjoyable and educational!

This is the 4th book in the series of Red Rising. I wasn't as into this book as the first three. Still good thought once I got my mind around the narrating changes. Definitely can't wait to start the next book.
