The Mrs. Astor by Deanna Lynn Sletten

Women's Sagas, 295 pages

Published October 6, 2026 by Deanna Lynn Sletten

Inspired by true events, this richly researched novel offers an intimate portrait of the woman who reigned over America's Gilded Age—and the unforgettable night that tested her power, her convictions, and her heart.

New York City, 1896

On the eve of her annual January ball, Caroline Schermerhorn Astor reflects on her life and all that has led up to this moment. She is about to reintroduce her daughter, Charlotte, into society after a scandalous divorce. Society dictates that divorced women simply disappear, but Caroline refuses to ban her daughter from her rightful place. After all, Caroline is the woman who runs New York City society. If anyone can break the rules, it’s her.

From her privileged childhood among the families of the oldest Dutch settlement in New York to her marriage to William Backhouse Astor, Jr., one of the richest men in the country, Caroline has done everything expected of a proper society wife. With elegance, determination, and an unwavering belief in tradition, she raised the Astor name to even greater heights and created an exclusive world where only the most distinguished families belonged. But now, all that could disappear if New York society rejects her because of her daughter’s scandal.

Whatever the consequences, Caroline will hold her head high, because she is The Mrs. Astor, and no one can take from her what she values the most—her precious family.

My thoughts about The Mrs. Astor ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First lines—"Caroline Webster Schermerhorn Astor sat in front of her dressing table mirror, contemplating the face that stared back at her, reflecting on her life and the decisions she'd made up until now."

While reading The Mrs. Astor, I was transported to a different time and place. Honesty, I found myself still there long after I finished the book, that's how enthralled I was by this story. I literally was thinking about the people I met and the setting of this book for days after I was done.

Deanna Lynn Sletten has always produced amazing historical fiction stories and this one is another stellar example of her thorough researching skills. I found myself completely swept up in the lifestyles and events of this time period that she wrote about. I admire Mrs. Astor and respect the strength and resilience she had in a time when women didn't have much power in their lives. Thanks to this book, I now have a better understanding of the life that women survived back then. 

I loved everything about The Mrs. Astor and highly recommend it. If you read historical fiction, you are going to love it too.

I received an ARC of The Mrs. Astor and this is my honest opinion.

Congratulations Ashley

on the release today of

Dark Current Redemption!

Dark Current Redemption by Ashley Farley

(Sutherlin Files Series #4)

Women's Crime Stories, 216 pages

Published October 6, 2026 by AHF Publishing

Some sins refuse to stay buried. Some wounds refuse to heal.

Newly elected sheriff Lane Sutherlin thought the worst was finally behind her.

She was wrong.

As Tidewell struggles to recover from decades of corruption, Lane finds herself facing the greatest challenge of her career. Old enemies remain at large, dangerous secrets are still buried beneath the town's carefully polished surface, and powerful forces are determined to protect the past at any cost.

With danger closing in from every direction, Lane must fight for the future she's worked so hard to build. But justice isn't the only thing at stake. As long-buried truths come to light, she is forced to confront the choices that have shaped her life, the betrayals that still haunt her, and the people she has spent years trying to forgive—including herself.

The battle for Tidewell isn't over.

Neither is Lane's search for peace.

Because redemption comes at a price.

And this time, the cost may be everything.

Dark Current Redemption is the unforgettable conclusion to the bestselling Tidewell series—a gripping story of family, forgiveness, justice, resilience, and the enduring power of love.

 

   

My thoughts about Dark Current Redemption ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First lines—"I return to work the day after getting shot. Every rib protests as I push through the front door, but I've endured worse."

What a satisfying conclusion to this fabulous series. As satisfying as it was, I am also a little sad that my journey into the world of Lane Sutherlin and Tidewell is over. I enjoyed this series so, so much!

Things are finally going in Lane's favor but not before there's a lot of danger and drama. Things land where they should but not before she and everyone around her are tested. This one was definitely a page-turner, edge-of-my-seat kind of read. I loved it!

I highly recommend this series, where you'll get it all—Ashley's wonderful storytelling, amazing characters, plenty of drama, and the feeling that the bad guys should not win. Dark Current Redemption was an exciting read and the perfect conclusion to this series. 

I received an eARC of Dark Current Redemption and this is my honest opinion.

Congratulation Audrey

Life Out of Order!

 

Life Out of Order by Audrey Niffenegger

(The Time Traveler's Wife #2)

Time Travel, Fiction, 560 pages

Published October 6, 2026 by Knopf Canada

Alba DeTamble has never lived a life in order. Born with the same rare Chrono-Displacement Disorder as her father, Henry DeTamble, Alba is an involuntary time traveler: She slips unpredictably through decades, carrying the weight of a future she can witness but cannot change. Yet she strives to maintain a normal life: As a gifted violinist, Alba finds refuge in her music, as well as in her tight-knit community of artists and activists who fight to take care of each other in an increasingly unstable world. 

As she dips in and out of time, Alba is haunted by secrets she must keep from those she loves most, including Zach, her safe, supportive anchor in the chaos. Her journey takes her from the riot-torn Chicago streets to the eerie, timeless “Yellow House” to the digital corridors of the Museum of Lost Souls, a virtual sanctuary of forgotten memories and lost artifacts.

With every leap through the years, Alba is forced to reckon with the choices that define her, the people she cannot bear to lose, and the question that haunts every time traveler: Can you ever truly belong to the present?

My thoughts about Life Out of Order ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First lines—"All revolutions go down in history, yet history does not fill up; the rivers of revolution return from whence they came, only to flow again."

The Time Traveler's Wife is one of my all-time favorite books, if not my favorite. It's one of only a few books that I have read multiple times, which is rare for me. I can't believe it was first published in 2003. That's twenty-three years ago! I was so excited when I saw that Ms. Niffenegger was coming out with a sequel. 

Life Out of Order is the story of Alba, the time traveling daughter of Henry and Clare. Through the jumps in time like her father experienced, we get to catch up with the family and get a little peek into what the future might be like. Time traveling has become a known and accepted thing but Alba still runs into issues with the past, the present, and the future. 

I loved that we were able to visit this family again and go through the emotional turmoil, and the love, that they experienced. Scenes that made me tear up in TTTW also made me tear up again in LOOO, even though I knew they were coming. 

Like I said, I absolutely loved The Time Traveler's Wife and I now I love Life Out of Order. Both books will have special places on my bookshelf. I highly recommend them both.

I received an eARC of Life Out of Order and this is my honest opinion.

Happy Release Day!

Congratulations Gail

on the release today of

Class Reunion!

Class Reunion: Keep Your FRIENDS Closer by Gail Ward Olmsted 

(Raising the Bar #2)

Women's Crime Fiction, 264 pages

Published October 1, 2026 by Black Rose Writing

She befriended me. She betrayed me. Now, she needs me.

A phone call from jail pulls attorney Lennon Gallagher back into a past she's spent years trying to escape. Complicated doesn't begin to describe the bond between Lennon and the caller, a former law school classmate. Now, Erin stands accused of the very violence Lennon has spent her career fighting against. It's a conflict of interest, but isn't everyone entitled to competent and effective legal defense?

What starts as a plea for help spirals into a murder trial that threatens to incinerate Lennon's professional reputation as well as her upcoming marriage. Guided by her best friend, seasoned lawyer Miranda Quinn, Lennon digs for the truth, only to find a mountain of evidence that points to Erin's guilt. The cost of loyalty is high, and the stakes are even higher as Lennon questions if Erin was ever truly her friend.

But does that make her guilty of murder?

A story of friendships, true and false, and going the extra mile for the ones we love.

My thoughts about Class Reunion ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First lines—"I was the last one to leave the office on Friday afternoon. My co-workers had all bailed early to get a head start on the long holiday weekend."

I first met Lennon in book one of this series, Class Action, when she was a law student trying to navigate a tough situation. Now in this book, she once again finds herself in a predicament that she has little control over. 

Her former law school classmate calls her for help and the circumstances go against all that Lennon is fighting for in her practice. Can she set all that aside and help out a friend in need? And then when it becomes a murder case, Lennon is even more conflicted. This is not her area of expertise. 

I really enjoyed Class Reunion. I loved reconnecting with Lennon and seeing how she has grown since law school. I loved being a part of her life and loved the character development that the author brought to the table. I hope there are more stories about Lennon and her life as a lawyer. 

I highly recommend Class Reunion: Keep Your FRIENDS Closer for anyone who loves legal drama with a side of personal satisfaction.

I received an ARC of Class Reunion and this is my honest opinion.

The Novelists!

The Novelists by Joanne DeMaio

Series: The Seaside Saga #28

Women's Saga, 260 pages

Published September 2, 2026, by Joanne DeMaio

From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes The Novelists, Book 28 of The Seaside Saga.

Maris and Neil. To many, they’re known as the novelists of Stony Point. But while Maris is tasked with completing Neil Barlow’s unfinished manuscript, there’s a problem. She’s stymied by the ending. It’s clear her old friend had something in mind—but what? In this New England beach town, Neil’s ghost is ever elusive.

Or is it? Because after a startling confession one evening, Neil unexpectedly returns to Maris—and Jason especially—in an entirely new way. A way that brings a stunning plot twist to Maris and Neil’s manuscript, as well as to Jason Barlow’s life.

And The Seaside Saga continues.

My thoughts about The Novelists ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"Night fills the barn. Long, dark shadows stretch across Jason's studio."

The Novelists continues right where the previous book ended, dropping me into the world of Maris and Neil, as she continues writing Neil's story. Life goes on in Stony Point, as people are living their best lives as love, friendship, and drama continue. I love this community and all of the people who live there. I find myself completely wrapped up in their lives and enjoy each moment I get to spend with them. 

And like always with this series, the ending leaves me wanting more and wondering where the story is going to go from here. I'm love getting the newest story in the Seaside Saga and quickly devour it, anxious for the next installment. I highly recommend this series and this author. 

Book #29, Driftline, is set to be published on March 2, 2027.

It's Only Love!

It's Only Love by Kay Bratt

(Hart's Ridge #17)

Saga Fiction, 398 pages

Published September 29, 2026 by Red Thread Publishing Group

Wade Barrett's dog came home but he didn't. Everyone believes Wade drowned.

Walker Barrett never has.

Eight months after his brother vanished off Florida's Gulf Coast, the discovery of a single piece of evidence reopens a case everyone else has long since closed. Determined to uncover the truth, Walker follows a trail of secrets that leads far deeper than he ever imagined.

When private investigator Sam Gray agrees to take the case, it quickly becomes clear that someone has worked very hard to keep the past buried, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to keep it that way. With Sheriff Taylor Gray helping uncover the truth, the investigation soon exposes hidden betrayals, broken loyalties, and secrets someone would kill to protect.

Josie Colburn likes her life simple. Running the marina keeps her busy, and keeping people at arm's length keeps her safe.

Then Walker arrives.

Grieving, stubborn, and searching for answers, he's the last complication she needs. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them and the danger closing in around them.

Someone knows exactly what happened to Wade Barrett. And when the truth finally surfaces, Walker and Josie may lose more than either of them is prepared to give.

It's Only Love is the seventeenth novel in the bestselling Hart's Ridge series—a gripping blend of mystery, romance, family secrets, and the unforgettable characters readers have come to call friends.

Loosely inspired by a real Florida disappearance that captured national attention, It's Only Love explores the secrets we keep, the lies we tell, and the lengths we'll go for the people we love.

My thoughts about It's Only Love ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First lines—"The smell of grilled fish drifted through the open windows of Daniel and Tula's home, mixing with the familiar scents of saltwater, sunscreen, and whatever tropical candle Tula was obsessed with this month."

I don't know how Kay Bratt does it but she just keeps creating amazing stories, with each one more exciting than the last. It's Only Love is over the top! She really outdid herself this time. And the cliffhanger at the end? OMG!

A missing man, declared dead, get Taylor and Sam to drop everything to help solve the case. Walker, the man's brother, doesn't believe the story about his missing brother and wants it investigated further. Secrets are uncovered and people's lives are in danger. 

One of the many things I love about this series are the multiple storylines that the reader gets to enjoy. Not only is there the crime in each book that needs to be solved, but then there are also all the other storylines in the story. We get to know all of the characters better and learn about their lives and what they are going through. I've come to think of these people as my friends. 

The Hart's Ridge series is an amazing set of stories, with memorable characters and interesting plotlines. I highly recommend It's Only Love. I love this whole series—it just keeps getting better and better. 

And the author just keeps writing this series. Yay for us!! 

Book #18, I'm Losing You, is expected to be released on January 26, 2027!

I received an ARC of It's Only Love from the author and this is my honest opinion.

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

When I Kill You by B.A. Paris ~ My Thoughts #WhenIKillYou

When I Kill You by B.A. Paris

Thriller, Mystery, 304 pages

Published February 17, 2026 by St. Martin's Press

Who is watching Nell Masters?

Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own.

Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . .

Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?

    

My thoughts about When I Kill You ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First lines—"It's the lamp going out in the living room that alerts me the electricity has been cut."

I'm a huge, huge fan of B.A Paris and have read all of her books. No one writes a thriller like she does! When I Kill You did not disappoint. What a roller coaster ride. 

Nell Masters has secrets and is hiding from her past but does someone know about her past? And is someone stalking her? This is a suspenseful look into the world of secrets and drama. 

Once again, B.A Paris has created a story that kept me on the edge of my seat, one that I couldn't read fast enough, but one that I didn't want to end. I love when an author can do that.

I highly recommend When I Kill You if you are a thriller lover like I am.
