Happy Saturday! Today, I bring you reviews for two absolutely incredible new releases. I cannot praise either one of these enough. Both are so easy to give five stars to.

PIG WIFE By : Abbey Luck Release : 1/13/26 Page count : 542 KU : TBD      Hoopla : TBD Synopsis : A young girl goes missing and finds secrets that her stepdad’s aunt has had buried for decades. First line : “Just tell the office I won’t be in all week.” Favorite line:”… Police rabies.” Thoughts : How kidnapping, mental illness, and embezzlement can be funny at times, I will never understand.
