New 📕 review + top rec: THIS IS WHY WE LIED

During their honeymoon at a remote lodge, Will and Sarah are thrust into a deadly mystery after discovering the brutal murder of a woman—in the latest Will Trent installment by one of my faves, @karinslaughterauthor.

I loved this book. WAS HOOKED. This is a tangled, taut, locked-room mystery teeming with red herrings (making the final revelation all the more shocking). The narrative expertly blends a procedural investigation with a harrowing exploration of a deeply malicious family and the emotional scars they’ve inflicted. If you have been a longtime Will Trent fan like I have, it just proves how amazing and fresh the series continues to be.

This is such a great book to pick up during all things spooky and thriller season! 5 🌟

NEW 📕 REVIEW: THE SEVENTH VEIL OF SALOME by @si

NEW 📕 REVIEW: THE SEVENTH VEIL OF SALOME by @silviamg.author! I have loved, gushed about, and obsessed over every single book of hers I’ve read and this one is no different. This latest is a sensuous exploration of 1950s Hollywood through the eyes of a budding Mexican starlet and a jealous, struggling actress. Moreno-Garcia once again proves her extraordinary prowess as a versatile storyteller and gifted prosaic writer. Her talent for crafting vivid, immersive worlds, building relentless suspense, and creating compelling characters is unparalleled. I loved every bit of it. If you loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, you’ll love this one too!

New review on the blog: THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE by @

New review on the blog: THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE by @debharkness! It’s my first 6 🌟 read of the year!

What happens? ➡️ On ominous message beckons Diana Bishop to the Proctor family home, where she confronts her past and wrestles with her desire for a higher power ✨

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know how much I love the All Souls world and characters. Harkness is such a gifted storyteller and writer, and I love the blend of science, magic, and history. THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE is a continuation of Diana and Matthew’s story, but this time, it focuses deeply on Diana’s magic and what she chooses for her future. It’s evocative, compelling, and propulsive. I loved it so much! More detail on what to expect in my full, spoiler-free review! ➡️ vilmairis.com

I’m on a recent good-book streak (always the best feeling) and this is one of the recent reads I loved! I’m such a fan of the Cyrus Haven series by @michaelrobotham and this fourth installment really delivered. Have you guys read these books???

In this latest, forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven investigates a mass murder, unlocking the forgotten past of Evie Cormac, the young woman he’s informally adopted. During a day at the beach, Cyrus and Evie see seventeen bodies wash ashore. Only a young boy survives, claiming the boat carrying Middle Eastern migrants was deliberately sunk. As Cyrus steps in to help, the incident triggers something in Evie—a connection to her forgotten past.

Cyrus and Evie together unravel the clues of the connection, and what really happened to the migrants, in this propulsive and gripping story. I loved seeing their relationship deepen, and of course their interplay is always so fantastic.

5/5 ⭐️ The full scoop is on the blog ➡️ vilmairis.com

☀️ SUMMER BOOK REC ☀️ MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

☀️ SUMMER BOOK REC ☀️ MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT by @riley.sager! It’s out tomorrow and I can’t recommend it enough!

In a haunting quest for closure, Ethan Marsh returns to the neighborhood of his youth to unravel the mystery of his childhood best friend’s disappearance. One summer morning, ten-year-old Ethan woke up alone in a backyard tent, his best friend Billy gone, taken in the night. Thirty years later, the memories still haunt him. As he delves into the past and his desperation spirals, long-buried secrets resurface, and he feels a sinister presence lurking.

Riley Sager’s thriller is tense, atmospheric, and full of twists. I loved the eerie contrast between the idyllic 90s suburbia and its dark, supernatural undercurrent. It’s a gripping coming-of-age tale that’s both creepy and surprisingly touching. It’s the perfect, addictive summer read.

SUMMER BOOK RECCOMENDATION: ONE PERFECT COUPLE by

SUMMER BOOK RECCOMENDATION: ONE PERFECT COUPLE by @ruthwarewriter ☀️🌴👩‍❤️‍👨

Stranded on a storm-swept island, five couples battle the elements—and each other—as they struggle to survive in this paradise-turned-nightmare thriller.

Out-of-work actor Nico pleads with his virologist girlfriend, Lyla, to join him on a couples reality TV show. Uncertain of their future together, Lyla use this as a test for their future, but from the very beginning, the show is all red flags 🚩 🚩🚩 It feels thrown together, falling short of the professional expectations of such a production. And sure enough, there is a massive storm the first night on the remote Indonesian island, and the couples are stranded with little water and food, and without any communication. As days turn into weeks, someone among them is picking them off one by one, and it’s unclear if anyone will make it out alive.

I loved the book, which was a fresh take on the lock-room mysteries Ruth Ware is known for. Cleverly told, it’s a fantastic summer thriller impossible not to devour.

If you know me, you know I have a whole packing + planning approach when I travel. Starts with a rolling rack, editing choices, and then finalizing easy-to-reference outfit pics! {linked original post in bio}. This helps me pack with more intention, better planning out re-use of certain pieces.

Fresh back from Vegas, thought I’d share what I planned vs how it looked in execution. I’m working on my next trip ‘fits already!

”What’s next is NOW.”

If there is any message I’m taking home with me as I leave Vegas and #DellTechWorld, it is those words from Michael Dell. It’s such an exciting time to re-imagine and re-invent, and with AI, we are “ushering a new age of expression,” as Gerri Tunnel noted.

My favorite session was probably the convo between Gerri, The Chainsmokers, and T-Pain, as they talked about how AI is already integrating into their music and process. As a creative myself, it was fascinating and exciting to think about how AI can enhance what we do, allowing us to re-imagine what is possible, and how we might make our unique and differentiated mark in our respective spaces.

Leaving Vegas inspired and excited for what’s to come! Thanks for following along with me this week!

I’ve been wanting to embellish sneakers for nearly a year (since I scored the Cecilie Bahnsen Asics) and finally decided to do it! Using the New Balance 530s, I used pearls, flowers, bows, lace, ribbon, charms, and rhinestones to dress up the sneakers. I wanted something super girly and over the top—layers of feminine jewelry on a dad sneaker 🤍 I’m obsessed with them, and how they flirt with the line of feeling like too much. I wore them for the first time today and thankfully they held up great!

Have you read The Familiar by @lbardugo yet? I abs

Have you read The Familiar by @lbardugo yet? I absolutely loved it. The story takes place in 16th century Madrid (during the Inquisition) where a scullion’s “milagritos” land her in a perilous magical tournament.

Luzia Cortado’s talent for little miracles catches the eye of some dangerous people, who seek to use her to rise in power. She soon finds herself under the tutelage of the notorious and secretive Guillén Santángel, whose equally sinister patron demands he train Luzia to compete in the tournament. But nothing goes as planned, as seers, racketeers, and the power-hungry elite endlessly scheme in their favor.

The Familiar is an intricately imagined historical fantasy shaped by themes of power, ambition, trust, betrayal and love. Bardugo’s storytelling is meticulous and lush, with richly drawn characters bringing it all to life. I tend to love books that marry fiction and history, and this one is incredibly well done. Cannot recommend enough.

📣 NEW BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS!!! 📣

Have you read any of these????

HEARTLESS HUNTER by @kristenciccarelli ➡️
In a world where no witch is safe as the Blood Guard hunts them, the Crimson Moth rescues them under the guise of night. This romantasy seriously became my entire personality as I was reading it! It’s deeply romantic, mesmerizing, and thrumming with forbidden magic, and so much more than I expected when I first picked up the book. Witch and witch hunter, enemies and lovers, romance and fantasty – the best of all worlds collide in this scintillating series starter I can’t recommend enought!

MURDER ROAD by @simonestjames ➡️
Absolutely obsessed with this book about a newlywed couple who gets lost, picks up a hitchhiker, and soon finds themselves suspects in a brutal murder. This is a chilling and deeply unsettling story from the very beginning, and one I couldn’t put down. With broken characters, well-hidden secrets, and high-stakes tension throughout, it’s an exhilarating, unrelenting, unpredictable serial killer thriller.

STILL SEE YOU EVERYWHERE by @lisagardnerbks ➡️
Hired by a serial killer on death row, missing persons expert Frankie Elkin tracks down a kidnapped woman on a remote Hawaiian atoll. There’s a lot more at play on this island with its nomadic crew of strangers, however, and soon everyone is in danger. This is the third installment in the Frankie Elkin series (but can be read as a standalone) and it’s a fantastic read. Part cat-and-mouse, part locked-room mystery, it’s an exciting, action-packed thriller full of the twists we’ve come to expect from Lisa.
