Thank you at @PRHAudio and @BerkleyPub for the #gifted audiobook! #PRHAudioPartner 📕 Somebody Worth Killing by Jessica Payne 📕 Pub day: June 16, 2026 This one grabbed me from the start. A darkly funny and very fun spin on a cat and mouse thriller! A suburban mom who is secretly an assassin. But, she has a strict code. She only kills truly evil bad guys. Nadia is a compelling character who will grow on you well before the end of the book. She’s a functional psychopath and contract killer, yet still a loving and involved mom. She is morally gray, sarcastic, and witty. She finds out her handler has “mommy tracked” her and sidelined her career with smaller, less exciting assignments because she has children. So, she requests a big target and finds out careful what you wish for. This was my f

🏒 5/5 ❄️ I somehow accidentally ended up on a sports romance kick - and even like specialized in hockey somehow (early last year). When I read a book, I tend to take notes so that way this part comes easier (writing the review) especially if I’m working through 4 books at once, it helps me keep them straight. Going through those notes currently has me cackling: “Aiden Crawford has me full swooning.” “And that group chat with some of the hockey boys titled Sunny’s Angels. Crying.” “No third act breakup!!!” And if you’re a romance reader like me, you know third act breakups are very prominent in this genre - so the genuine happiness I had - just superb 🤣 This follows Aiden and Summer. He’s captain of the hockey team. She needs a hockey player to study to write her psychology paper to get i

Thank you, @berkleypub for the free copy of the ARC! #berkleypartner 📖 The Open Era by @edwardschmit 📖 This book hit very close to home for me- and I think it all stems from my own journey with anxiety and how much I related to Austin. A lot of the time, people with anxiety get in their own way and I saw myself in Austin’s struggles with managing his relationship with Diego and navigating his career/life in general. Just hit me really hard. Yes, the romance was very sweet and very instalove- which typically isn’t my thing, but also I have to remember that the MCs are MUCH younger than I am! Haha. Overall, fantastic book. I really loved this one solely for how much I related to Austin’s struggles. ❤️ #lgbtqbooks #gaystagram #queerbooks #gaybooks

🦁 Book Review 🦁 • Thank you again to @berkleypub for the gifted early copy of SAFARI MURDER PARTY. I grabbed this adventurous read when I sat poolside a couple weekends ago and it was the perfect vibe to get caught up in. 👏🏼 • 📝 Review: 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A cheeky, and bloody, corporate satire. Ambition and greed fuel an island trapped game of survival with a little enemies to lovers side-plot thrown in for fun. It’s non-stop action with horrible people, but they’re also totally entertaining in their horrible-ness, and a leading lady who just wanted a reasonable promotion and didn’t sign up for this shit. It’s campy, and occasionally silly, but thoroughly wild and engaging with great pacing and a colorful setting. Overall, it was a thrilling read. 🦁 • • • #safarimurderparty #rachelmoor

After nearly 6 years on here, I’m sure you know... I LIVE FOR SUMMER. The sun is out. The weather is warm. The days are nice and long. This is my season to THRIVE. And this weekend, the pool opens! I have my towel and sunscreen ready. And I’m loaded up with great pool reads. Truth be told, I haven’t read many purely uplifting reads this year.

✨Audiobook Review✨ 📖 A Sprinkle of Sweet Serendipity ✍🏻 Rachel Linden 🗣️ Sarah Naughton 📆 May 19, 2026 Thank you @uplitreads @rachellinden_writer for this gifted copy and including me on this tour. #giftedbyuplit Thank you @berkleypub @prhaudio @librofm for advanced copies in exchange for my honest review. #PRHAudioPartner SYNOPSIS: Single mom and chocolatier Emmie has spent years putting everyone else first, but when a long-awaited vision of her future finally arrives, she’s forced to decide whether following destiny—or her heart—will lead to the sweetest ending. MY THOUGHTS: Rachel Linden always delivers the perfect mix of romance, small-town charm, foodie vibes, and a touch of magical realism—and A Sprinkle of Sweet Serendipity was such a delightful escape. Between the family-run fu

Thriller book meets survivalist vibes in this wildly entertaining mystery story! 🐅🐒 🔑 Think locked room mystery meets dark humor. ‼️ AKA: plan to stay up late reading just one more chapter. The vibes: 🎞️ Did you enjoy the movie Send Help? 🌴 Do you like thriller books that also have a survival element to them? 💸 Do you enjoy books about the rich doing over-the-top things? ❤️ Do you like a bit of romance with your thrills? 🎭 Do you like when comedy meets action? 🏢 Do corporate retreats give you the chills? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you might just need to add Safari Murder Party to your TBR! From the moment this story started I knew I was going to love our witty main character, Fletcher Spence. She’s got a plan for everything, but maybe not the chaotic life-or

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Inevitable Ruin (Dungeon Crawler Carl 7) by Matt Dinniman Thank you @berkleypub and @acebookspub for the free book! #berkley #berkleypartner #berkleybookstagram I can’t lie, I was disappointed with this book. I liked it, it wasn’t bad, but after LOVING the first six books, This Inevitable Ruin was a let down. I think my biggest issue with it is that the plot has taken over the story. With these books I don’t want much plot, I mostly just want Carl and Donut in the Dungeon. I want absurd antics and shenanigans and sticky situations. I don’t care very much about the wider story, and because of the nature of this floor, the wider story took center stage. And on top of that (or maybe because of that) this book wasn’t much fun. It wasn’t as crazy as the other books, it didn’t shock

📘🎊 Pub Week Spotlight 🎊📘 Rachel West and the Fallen Starlet by Emma Mills @elmify . 🎊 Happy Pub Day and thank you to @berkleypub for the 《gifted》ebook, and partner @prhaudio for the 《gifted》audiobook 🎊 ... Description from Amazon: Baby doll top, gladiator sandals, and fully loaded iPod at the ready: it’s 2008 in Los Angeles, and Rachel West is a little less starry-eyed than your average ingenue. Copyediting a celeb gossip rag isn't the glossy entertainment journalism Rachel thought she would be doing but hey, it pays the bills. Some of them, anyway. Rachel’s life changes overnight after meeting Molly Byrne, a former child star and current tabloid fave for her drunken escapades and rotating cast of boyfriends, and what begins as a chance encounter in a nightclub bathroom quickly grows

game. set. match 🎾 ⁣ ⁣ MM tennis romance is the new MM hockey romance. First Thirty Love and now The Open Era—I’m sold! Thank you @berkleypub and @prhaudio for my gifted copy and ALC of Edward Schmit’s THE OPEN ERA!⁣ ⁣ Austin Hardy has worked tirelessly to reach the U.S. Open, becoming the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam, but the intense media attention surrounding his sexuality sends his anxiety spiraling.

Tofino - the darling spot on Vancouver Island and star of our perfect storm. It is a place I’ve been going since I was a kid, a beautiful west coast, moody and desolate escape from mainland life. As a non romance reader, Carley’s ability to craft Canadian locations as characters themselves is what continues to resonate with me. Her latest book is utterly stuffed with memories of Tofino - the sights, the sounds, the smells. The relationships that are explored alongside it are certainly an added plus! What a treat it was to attend @vancouverwritersfest event yesterday and listen to Carley & Meredith discuss all the book anecdotes & exciting adaptation news. Inspired by this book & evening, swipe to see some of my favourite Tofino itinerary spots I continue to go back to 🫶🏼 thank you to @be

obsessed with him, always Book: Irresistible Urge To Fall For Your Enemy I love this book so freaking muchhhh 🥹 I reread it back in March so I could binge read book 2 (Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy) & loved it even more the second time!!! Whimsical. Silly. Lighthearted. Action packed & fast paced. I’ve been really loving more lighthearted and whimsical stories lately (blame it on the sunny weather) bc they leave me feeling lighter every time I sit down to read. I’ve gotta keep my lips sealed about book 2 - but know that I absolutely devoured it and have over a hundred highlights on my kindle 😛😛😛 thank you Berkley for this finished copy!! #berkleypartner

New Thriller Mini Reviews 1️⃣NOT QUITE DEAD YET 4⭐️ (Paperback Pub 5/5): #gifted @bantambooks Great on audio and fast paced, this follows 27 year old Jet after she is attacked in her home on Halloween night. She knows she will die in 7 days and teams up with the police to investigate who tried to kill her. The race against the clock really drove the suspense in this story. There were plenty of twists that are hard to predict and will keep you guessing. Definitely perfect for summer if you love a whodunit with some family drama and a great main character. 2️⃣SUMMER’S NEVER OVER 4⭐️ (Pub 6/9): #gifted @berkleypub @prhaudio This debut was a great slow burn mystery, with shocking twists, and perfect to binge poolside or beachside. Even better, it takes place at a summer camp, making so much of

Safari Murder Party by Rachel Moore Pub Date: May 19, 2026 Thank you @berkleypub for the ARC! 🔹Description: Fletcher Spence is dying for a promotion. And her colleagues are more than happy to oblige.
