Can’t-Wait Wednesday – August 19, 2026

Can’t-Wait Wednesday  is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

I requested this one on NetGalley and was approved by the publisher (Atria Books). I love Steve Cavanagh’s Eddie Flynn series and cannot wait to read it more closer to publication!

One of them is married to a killer. But which one? The author of Kill for Me, Kill for You returns with a high-octane thriller that will keep you guessing from beginning to end.

Vanessa Vanderpool is waiting outside her husband’s secret apartment. She watches him walk in to meet his mistress. Vanessa has been betrayed before and cannot afford to be betrayed again. Patrick’s affair will throw away everything she’s built. Pain and anger courses through her as she enters the apartment building.

The perfect mix for murder.

Patrick Vanderpool is the son of a wealthy businessman forced by his father to run for office. But when he sleeps with Molly Green, for once he finally feels alive. As Molly takes a shower, he looks around her apartment and finds nothing personal. No pictures. No mementos. Only a diary. What he reads in Molly’s journal threatens everything. Betrayed by the woman he thought he loved, pain and anger make Patrick’s blood run cold.

The perfect mix for murder.

Husband and wife both have the perfect opportunity and motive for murder, but which one of them is married to a killer?

Final Check In: 20 Books of Summer 2025 #20booksofsummer25

This challenge is perfect for me, as it’s as low key as it can get. My goal was to read 20 books all summer long. I surpassed that goal at the end of July.

The #20BooksofSummer2025 challenge runs from Sunday June 1st to Monday September 1st every year.

I want to thank Annabel and Emma for taking the reigns and not letting Cathy’s challenge fall by the wayside.

Can’t Wait Wednesday – May 28, 2025

Can’t-Wait Wednesday  is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. Find out more here.

I received this hardcover copy in the mail and I cannot wait to read it! It’s going to be the first book I pick up in June, that’s for sure!

“From the New York Times bestselling author of The Kind Worth Killing and Eight Perfect Murders comes an inventive, utterly propulsive murder-mystery in reverse, tracing a marriage back in time to uncover the dark secret at its heart.”

This premise is giving me Memento vibes (who remembers that movie from 2000? I loved it!). This is why I am so pumped about this book!

Kill Your Darlings publishes on June 10, 2025.
