THE COFFIN MAKER by Breeann Allison


This is such a deliciously unusual book.  It grabs you from the first sentence.  I loved the mystery.  I loved Jesse!  It has the vibe of a classic Gothic, but with humor. 

If you’re looking for a dark, tantalizing tale, grab this book up.

THE THEORY OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER


I received a copy of THE THEORY OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER by Kristin Billerbeck from Revell in exchange for an honest review.  This is chick lit at its finest.  If you’re feeling sad or just need to unwind, pick up a copy.

This book was hysterical.  I was sad that a new job kept me from reading more than one chapter at a top.  From start to finish, you’ll become absorbed in the characters.  The writing is fluid and catchy; it really sucks you in.  The romance is a perfect supplement to the humor.

In a nutshell, Maggie is depressed after a break up, so her friends put her on a cruise.  I’ve never been a on a cruise, but I found the details well described and it made a wonderful setting for some quirky antics.

A solid four stars from me.  Some of the witty banter felt forced, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.
