ARC Review: This Weekend Doesn’t End Well for Anyone by Catherine Mack

Publication Date: April 28, 2026

This Weekend Doesn’t End Well for Anyone was an accidental foray of mine into the mystery genre, but once I got into the story, I couldn’t put it down! Eleanor, Oliver, and their whole crew are on quite an adventure from the very first chapter of this story. Eleanor lays out how to write a murder mystery while simultaneously living it, which made for a compelling way to look into a genre I don’t spend a lot of time reading.

While I did get hooked on this story, I suspect that if I had read the first two books beforehand I may have done so much sooner! There was definitely quite a bit of context that went over my head since I don’t know the backstory. I am deathly curious about the earlier stories now, so I may have to go back and read Eleanor’s first experiences with unexpected murder.

It’s hard to write a review for a mystery book since I don’t want to spoil any of the twists and turns! I can say this: I definitely didn’t want Eleanor to die, and I was deeply invested in who was the murderer as well as what their motive was. I’m probably going to regret finishing this book right before bed, but I just had to know the ending!!!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: You Won’t Forget Me by Mazey Eddings

Publication Date: June 8, 2026 MAZEY EDDINGS, WOW. This book is the slow burn trope at its absolute finest, and I am thoroughly wrecked. You Won’t Forget Me is peak pining and the dynamic between Cubby and Darcy is everything. The two bandmates falling in love story is always a good one, and this was…

ARC Review: Brighter than Before by Courtney Walsh

Publication Date: June 9, 2026 Brighter than Before was such a tender story about falling in love and finding oneself again. Claire and Miles are both older characters, and that maturity was beyond refreshing. I loved seeing Claire’s grown-up daughter, Minnie, interact with Claire and with Miles on a quest to find Claire a romantic…
