My thoughts:

I've been on a really good streak lately of good books and I'm so happy about it. I know this one in particular is kind of hit or miss for some people but it was definitely a hit for me! To me, I got Law & Order: SVU vibes from it. I read it and it felt like reading an SVU episode and that's one of my favorite shows. There was a huge plot twist at the end that I definitely did not expect. I was trying to predict the ending and still didn't get it right in the end! I literally stayed up hours past when I definitely should've gone to sleep just to finish this book. I finished almost the whole thing in one day. It was addicting once I got hooked into it a few chapters in.

This book was split perspective between a husband and wife. The husband, Adam, was accused of murdering his mistress. His wife, Sarah, one of the top criminal defense lawyers in Washington D.C. was the only person believed to be capable of proving his innocence in the case. On Adam's side of the book, he described his plans to prove his innocence from the inside, whether it was in jail or on house arrest. On Sarah's side of the book, she described her hard work to show his innocence in court. Many people are guilty of different things throughout, but who is actually guilty of the murder?

This book may be for you if you like:

Split perspective
Who-dun-it murder mysteries
Short chapters

I definitely recommend this one if you're a fellow true crime or murder mystery lover like me.

Spice-o-meter: My Spice Rating System

Hello, fellow bookworms! I decided that since I recently posted a review of The Spanish Love Deception (which I rated a 2 of 5 for spice), I should probably make a post about my "spice" ratings, which I have now named my "Spice-o-meter". I want to make it clear that the Spice-o-meter does NOT effect the overall rating of the book! I am okay with no spice and I'm okay with spice, I just know that some people have other preferences for the books they read. Spice-free: Nothing beyond some kisses, hugging, etc. If one of my reviews doesn't have a "spice-o-meter" listed in it, it's safe to assume that it is spice-free. 1 of 5: May include hands, more kissing, "fade to black" scenes. No in-detail spice. Any books that have discussion of spice will be included in this category, even if no spice actually happens. I will write a disclaimer in my review if this is the case, because I know some people prefer books with actual spice. 2 of 5

Powerless

Powerless by Lauren Roberts Title: Powerless Author: Lauren Roberts Genre: Fantasy Published in: 2023 Age suggestion: Young adult and up Spice-o-meter: No spice My rating: 4 out of 5 My thoughts: This book I thought was pretty good. The first half of it, I got major Hunger Games vibes from it and I was a bit nervous about how the story was going to turn out, but it got so good! Don't get me wrong, I like The Hunger Games , I just was nervous that it was going to be too similar of a storyline. There were definitely parts of it that were inspired by them, but the story took a very different turn. I got addicted to this book. It took me a while to get into (I've been reading it off and on again for a month) but I finished over half of it in a couple of days. The end had a lot of action and ended on a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next books to come out. I am definitely going to be continuing this series as it comes out. In this book, it is split perspective between a g

What About Me

What About Me by Tiara Vazquez This post will contain spoilers! Title: What About Me Author: Tiara Vazquez Genre: Paranormal Romance Published in: 2022 Age suggestion: 18+ Spice-o-meter: 2 out of 5 My rating: 5 out of 5 My thoughts: I really loved this book! It was another Kindle read that I found because I'm in a Facebook reading group with the author and she was promoting her book. I downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited and I absolutely loved it. It isn't my normal read because I normally don't read paranormal stuff, but I wanted to read something from another undiscovered, new author. This one has probably been my favorite undiscovered book I've read. This book had a big plot twist at the end that I honestly didn't expect, and a beautiful ending in my opinion. This book was about a girl named Ivy who believed that a new woman at her fiancé's company (where she also worked) was trying to steal him from her. She had very bad anxiety and a past with infidelity,
