Rating: Will Tessa find the killer before another person falls victim to him? Deceitful, an all-new fantasy romance full of suspense from USA Today bestselling author Cora Reilly writing as C. Reilly is available now! Alex’s 4 Blush Review  Deceitful caught my attention for a few reasons, the first being that it was a mash-up of two of my two favorite genres: fantasy and thriller.  Reilly does a great job of combining the suspense and excitement of a thriller with the otherworldly-ness of a fantasy.

Review ~~ Girl One by Sara Flannery Murphy

Rating: Alex’s 4 Blush Review I thought that the premise of Girl One was super interesting. The concept of creating babies without male DNA and going against the natural order of things seemed like it would provide a suspenseful story with a lot of questions about morality and whether we could ever go too far with our scientific research. In addition to all the moral grayness, the missing person story and host of female characters are what initially drew me to this book.  Overall, I enjoyed it. I think it definitely delivered a suspenseful mystery that had a few pretty...
