The Last Beekeeper by Julie Carrick Dalton | Book Review
I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up The Last Beekeeper. Maybe a story about bees, but from which angle, I wasn’t sure. This post-apocalyptic, eco-thriller was a pleasant surprise.
Book Review: How to Be a Better Adult by Jacque Aye | This is Not a How To Guide, It’s a Journey
How to Be a Better Adult is a book that expresses most, if not all feelings that many people experience while navigating their work and personal lives. It’s a quick read with a relatable main character trying to make sense of adulthood. Truthfully, most of us reside in a similar headspace (lol).

Book Review: Burn Down, Rise Up by Vincent Tirado | An Education of the Burning and Rebuilding of 1970s Bronx
Burn Down, Rise Up is a thrill of a book. The writing is informational, tense, and easy to digest. Set in the Bronx, New York, it’s observed that people are steadily disappearing without a trace. The disappearances command the attention of our main character Raquel, her best friend Aaron, his brother, Mario, and a friend ‘not a friend’, Charlize. Charlize’s cousin, Cisco is the most recent disappearance, and finding him requires Raquel and the others to play a dangerous game that could result in them disappearing too.
Book Review: You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron
The setting and atmosphere of You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight is isolated and creepy. Kalynn Bayron creates a work experience at Camp Mirror Lake for Charity Curtis with just as many perks as hiccups. Taking advantage of an unsupervised summer job, Charity is living her best life curating a full-contact horror experience for those who are brave enough to face Camp Mirror Lake. It’s tainted, but hidden history is the main attraction. What happens when hidden history is revealed and tries to repeat itself? Strange things start happening, and what a ride it was!
