The Turn of The Key
If The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware were to be adapted, I hope it’s for the small screen. You can’t fit this mystery/horror into a two hour movie.

Gotta love a good mystery…
Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica will keep you on your toes. A must-read for any mystery/thriller junkie! I’ll say no more!

Project Hail Mary
Quick question to ponder: What happens when our sun starts to dim? And that solar dimming is being caused by material, aptly named Astrophage, literally sucking the life out of it? And it’s happening at such a rate, Earth will find itself in an ice age and all the fun disaster that comes with itContinue reading “Project Hail Mary”
