Their house has a creepy doll, a cemetery in the basement, and voices in the walls. Joe has trouble falling asleep that first night.

I'd like to extend a huge thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for approving my request for an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this middle grade novel.

Product Review: Absolute New York Velvet Lippie, Buttery Matte Lip Cream, Flamenco

-

velvet lippie absolute new york

Over the weekend, I went to my local Macy's Department Store and meandered over to the Backstage department. I found so many great deals, especially on makeup. One of the items I picked up was a product package by Absolute New York that included four different lip products.

The first lip product I tried out was the Velvet Lippie, Buttery Matte Lip Cream. The color is called Flamenco. What I liked about this product is how smooth and evenly I was able to apply it to my lips. The velvet lippie kept my lips moist and kept me from licking my lips as much as I usually do. As far as the color goes, it went well with my skin tones and brighten up my face.

Other great things about the Velvet Lippie by Absolute New York are that I was able to eat food without any of it coming off, and very little came off when I was drinking a can of Mountain Dew. With that being said, when I wiped it off my lips with a Kleenex, the Velvet Lippie came off without any trouble and didn't stain my lips.

There isn't anything about the Velvet Lippie that I can complain about. And, that's saying a lot as I don't typically wear lipstick because I hate how it usually comes off when I eat or drink something, and this product doesn't do any of that!

Five out of five stars is what I get Absolute New York Velvet Lippie, Buttery Matte Lip Cream in Flamenco because it is long lasting. I can't wait to try out the other products that were included with this product. I will definitely be buying this particular brand and product again.

Book Review: The Dare by Natasha Preston

-
Image
The Dare by Natasha Preston is a young adult horror novel centered on Marley and her friends Atlas, Lucia, and Jesse, all seniors in high school. What begins as harmless, lighthearted senior pranks quickly takes a dark turn when Rhett starts assigning dares that are far more serious and dangerous. As the stakes rise, the question becomes whether Marley and her friends will survive the consequences of playing along. A huge thank you to NetGalley for providing an advanced readers copy of The Dare by Natasha Preston. The last book I read by this author was well written and engaging, so I was excited to dive into her latest young adult horror story. From the start, the novel feels reminiscent of R.L. Stine’s Fear Street series, which instantly brought back a wave of childhood nostalgia. Unfortunately, that initial excitement didn’t last. Before long, the plot shifts into territory that felt eerily similar to the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer . At that point, my interest started ...

Book Review: The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker

The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker  was published on March 17, 2025. It opens with Detective Declan Shaw at a closed subway station trying to work up the nerve to commit suicide when he receives a call from his partner about a break in and homicide at the home of a true crime author. Shaw makes his way to the crime scene to work the case, and in a turn of events, Declan comes under scrutiny in another case loosely connected to this new case. I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of The Writer  from NetGalley and Little , Brown, and Company for free in exchange for my honest review. I'm appreciative that my request for this book was approved. With this story opening with the main character trying to commit suicide, I almost didn't go any further with the book. However, I am glad I stuck with it as it took me on a fantastic ride and had my emotions all over the place. There were so many twists and turns that just when I thought I had it all figured out, there was ...

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich is the latest installment in the long-running and beloved Stephanie Plum series, and it opens with Joe Morelli asking Stephanie to dog-sit his famously quirky dog, Bob, while he’s out of town testifying at a trial. As expected, things quickly spiral into chaos when Stephanie has to bring Bob along while attempting to apprehend her usual lineup of FTAs. Between chasing fugitives, dodging danger, and juggling her complicated personal life, Stephanie also finds herself seriously questioning whether marriage is something she truly wants. Each book in the Stephanie Plum series tends to follow a familiar and comforting formula, with everything wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow by the end. That predictability is actually one of the main reasons I keep coming back to these books. I always know Stephanie will get herself into trouble, Ranger or Morelli will step in to help,...
