What’s this one with the gnomes? It looks familiar but I don’t remember what it’s called!

Today I'm reviewing ALL SOULS LOST by Dan Moren! 💙📚

"A fun, quick listen. The mystery was engaging, and everything about the book felt familiar because it did a good job with the genre conventions. I just wish there'd been a bit more depth and originality." 3.5⭐

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC!

All Souls Lost – Audiobook Review

Hello, everyone! Today I'm reviewing a VERY long overdue ARC, All Souls Lost by Dan Moren. It's so long overdue that I decided to borrow the audiobook for my Amazon music monthly pick to give the book/author a little extra support and help me get it reviewed ASAP. So, I'll be reviewing the audiobook rather than the eARC I received via NetGalley.

All of Us Murderers – ARC Review

Hello, everyone! It has been quite longer than usual since my last post. I just haven't much been in the mood for blogging. Most of my time has been spent on my pets, including three new 6-week-old kittens, and harvesting and processing vegetables from my garden. I hope to be a little more present on the blog in the coming week, though, because I've got a few reviews to get caught up on.
