August Reading Wrap-Up

I’ve never done wrap-up posts. Frankly, it’s because I can never remember what I read last week, much less all month! But I’m giving it a go. You guys let me know if this is a post you want to continue seeing! The list below consists of both read and listened-to books, and is missing one more book I pre-read that hasn’t been announced just yet 🙂

Reading now

New 6-star read, epic second-chance romance

Fierce, bloody and badass, great follow up

No big thrills, but really absorbing

Think fun, NKOTB inspired swoony romance

Scary, chilling thriller, loved it

Twisty, good Audible listen

Sexy, funny and fast paced

Obsessed with this book, high stakes, high octane

Twisty, divertive thriller

Couldn't get into it, wasn't in the mood, coming back to it

So great, can't wait for the next book

✨ New Review: INHERITANCE by @norarobertsauthor ✨

I anxiously anticipate every Nora release, but this story sounded particularly exciting and I’m happy to say it did not disappoint! In this latest coming November 21st, a woman inherits a haunted mansion and is mired by a generational curse she’s intent to break. Seven “lost brides” killed on their wedding day haunt the sprawling mansion in coastal Maine. Ferreting clues from her dreams, and with her group of friends, Sonya delves into a world of ghosts and one vengeful witch, intent to break the curse that takes one bride a generation.

This is the first in a series and is quintessential Nora Roberts. I loved the otherworldly aspect to it, the heroine’s close ties to family, friends, and community, and the sinister machinations at play that she must untangle. It’s an absolutely fantastic read and a must pre-order! My full, spoiler-free review on the blog ➡️ vilmairis.com

Guys, I live for Fall and Winter fashion. I love it so much. The layering. The coats. The cozy sweaters.

This week #ontheblog I curated a list of essential faves you can layer together, or style differently to give you different looks (like some of these options here), plus how I incorporate seasonal trends into what I wear.

Fighting the Pull by one of my faves, @kristenashleybooks is out tomorrow and I’m sharing a sneak peek on the blog today! 🩷 vilmairis.com or link in bio

Synopsis ⬇️

Hale Wheeler inherited billions from his father. He’s decided to take those resources and change the world for the better. He’s married to his mission, so he doesn’t have time for love.

There’s more lurking behind this decision. He hasn’t faced the tragic loss of his father, or the bitterness of his parents’ divorce. He doesn’t intend to follow in his father’s footsteps, breaking a woman’s heart in a way it will never mend. So he vows he’ll never marry.

But Hale is intrigued when he meets Elsa Cohen, the ambitious celebrity news journalist who has been reporting on his famous family. He warns her off, but she makes him a deal. She’ll pull back in exchange for an exclusive interview.

Elsa Cohen is married to her career, but she wants love, marriage, children. She also wants the impossibly handsome, fiercely loyal, tenderhearted Hale Wheeler.

They go head-to-head, both denying why there are fireworks every time they meet. But once they understand their undeniable attraction, Elsa can’t help but fall for the dynamic do-gooder.

As for Hale, he knows he needs to fight the pull of the beautiful, bold, loving Elsa Cohen, because breaking her would crush him.

New review + top rec: AFTER THAT NIGHT by @karinsl

New review + top rec: AFTER THAT NIGHT by @karinslaughterauthor 🖤

I’m a longtime reader of the Will Trent series and this latest was sooo good. I could not put it down—which is to be expected in any Karin Slaughter thriller! This can be read as a standalone, but of course knowing the history makes the story so much richer.

What’s it about? A harrowing new crime dredges up Dr. Sarah Linton’s traumatic past. As Sarah, along with Will and Faith, dig into what happened to the latest young woman, echoes of what happened to her become increasingly apparent. Not only that, but more women are in danger if they don’t figure it all out.

It’s a new favorite in the series, underscored by the unshakable bonds between the characters we love, which buoy the weight of a narrative steeped in the violence and horror of its crimes. If you’re looking for a one-weekend binge read, look no further!

New Review: NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by @lisajewelluk

New Review: NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by @lisajewelluk

I’ve been reading (and loving) Lisa Jewell for years and this latest is a new fave! It’s a dark, twisty, unsetting thriller about two women whose paths cross in ways that ultimately upend both their lives. Podcaster Alix Summer and Josie Fair meet at a pub the night of their 45th birthday. Josie, a seemingly unassuming mother of two, is immediately drawn to Alix, whose life appears to shimmer in a way hers does not. Days later, they bump into each other again at Alix’s children’s school. In what feels like fate, Josie decides Alix is exactly the person she needs at this crossroads in her life. After binging Alix’s podcasts, Josie brazenly suggests she consider recording a podcast about her—someone at the cusp of great changes. With every dark secret Josie shares, Alix realizes she should sever ties and walk away, but she can’t—needing to know the whole story which would inevitably leave a trail of deaths in its wake.

Lisa Jewell delivers such an addictive read teeming with surprises. Unreliable characters call into question everything you read, especially as the story crescendos to a shocking climax. I binged this in a couple days and absolutely loved it. My full review on the blog, but definitely pick this up if you’re in the mood for a dark, addictive, twisty read! {linked in bio}

🚨 NEW FAVORITE BOOK ALERT 🚨 I finished this $🚨 NEW FAVORITE BOOK ALERT 🚨 I finished this book a few days ago and I loved it so much! You all probably remember how much I gushed and gushed about THE HACIENDA last year and I had sky-high expectations for VAMPIRES OF EL NORTE. @isabelcanas_ totally delivered once again! This one felt particularly cool to read as it takes place in 1940s Rio Grande Valley, specifically Matamoros, where I grew up. Having an anchor into the narrative, with language you’re familiar with, really helped immerse me immediately. The story is about two childhood sweethearts—Nena and Néstor—who are separated after Néstor believes Nena to be dead. Nena was attacked by a monster in the night, and crushed by the weight of her death, Néstor (a vaquero) flees the ranch owned by Nena’s family. Nine years later, fate, and the invasion of Mexico by the ‘Yanquis,’ brings them back together to fight both soldier and beasts alike. Richly imagined and chillingly suspenseful, Cañas forges a story that’s unrelentingly captivating. Smart, authentic, lush, detailed, and wholly original, this is a perfect blend of history and horror, romance and suspense. One of my favorite books this year. My full review coming, but can’t recommend it enough! {link in bio} #bookstagram #bookish #bookrecommendations #thrillerbooks #bookstagrammer #vilmairisblog #igbooks$

NEW REVIEW: SILVER NITRATE by @silviamg.author T

NEW REVIEW: SILVER NITRATE by @silviamg.author

Two friends revive a decades-old curse in this latest dark thriller from the author of other personal faves—MEXICAN GOTHIC and VELVET WAS THE NIGHT. I loved it, and love her ability to immerse you in a world, in a time, so vividly and meticulously wrought. It's a visceral, almost textural layer to her storytelling which is instantly transportive.

The story takes place in early 1990s Mexico City with main characters Montserrat (a reclusive sound editor) and Tristán (an aging actor from Matamoros - shout out to where I grew up!) meeting a once-famous horror film director who convinces them to reverse a curse. The trio, however, unleashes something far more terrifying, awaking dormant magic that wreaks havoc for those involved once again.

Moreno-Garcia delivers a sinister story of sorcery, suspense and history. Well-drawn characters, vivid worldbuilding and references to real films, actors and occultists help steep us in the narrative and the result is a riveting, spine-chilling must read. 5 🌟 !!!

Two new book reviews and recommendations on the blog this week: ZERO DAYS by Ruth Ware + HELLO STRANGER by Katherine Center (out today!) 📚

Here’s the scoop on each:

➖ZERO DAYS: A security expert goes on the run after she’s wanted for her husband’s murder in this exhilarating, high-stakes thriller (in the vein of the movie, The Fugitive). While it felt like a bit of a departure from Ware’s usual style, she kept me on the edge of my seat to see just how it all would end. It’s a great one-weekend binge.

➖THE STRANGER: A portrait artist struggles with temporary face blindness after an accident, in this heartwarming and funny romance. This is such an endearing, feel-good story about hope, friendship, and found family. Have been loving Katherine Center’s books (check out THE BODYGUARD too)!

Some exciting new thriller 📚 releases today including THE ONLY ONE LEFT by @riley.sager! I’m such a big fan of Riley’s books and this gothic thriller didn’t disappoint! In this latest, a caregiver digs into a past murder when she’s assigned to the town’s own Lizzie Borden.

After her own controversy, home health aide Kit McDeere moves into Hope’s End—the crumbling mansion at the edge of a cliff. There, she must look after the elderly Lenora Hope, who was once accused of murdering her entire family. Curiosity over what transpired consumes Kit, especially as Lenora and she begin to communicate via an old typewriter. Her time at Hope’s End takes an inescapable turn one night when Lenora offers, “I want to tell you everything.”

The vibe of the book is akin to Sager’s HOME BEFORE DARK (which I loved)—the derelict house of horrors dripping with decades-old secrets of murder, greed, envy, and forbidden romance. It’s rife with twists and turns you won’t see coming!

#walmartpartner #walmartfashion ☀️👗

To me, summer style means cool and comfortable wherever I go, and I’m loving some of the essentials I’ve found on Walmart. Whether it’s finding on-trend looks like boho crochet, summer stripes, or eyelet details, it’s about curating the right pieces you can build from. My own closet consists of high/low items that work together seamlessly, and this time of year I love flowy dresses (like this #FreeAssembly yellow one) paired with structured denim jackets (like this one from #TimeandTru). Right now #Walmart has so many on-trend looks, and #ontheblog I’m sharing some of my favorite finds. Head to the link in bio, or check out the LTK app for some of these checklist essentials.

New book delivery!!! So excited about this book from one of my faves @jrwardauthor! Starting it immediately! Out July 11th ➡️ pre-order via link in bio, synopsis ⬇️

Heathers meets The Secret History in this thrilling coming-of-age novel set in a boarding school where the secrets are devastating—and deadly.

When Sarah Taylor arrives at the exclusive St. Ambrose School, she’s carrying more baggage than just what fits in her suitcase. She knows she’s not like the other girls—if the shabby, all-black, non-designer clothes don’t give that away, the bottle of lithium hidden in her desk drawer sure does.

St. Ambrose’s queen bee, Greta Stanhope, picks Sarah as a target from day one and the most popular, powerful, horrible girl at school is relentless in making sure Sarah knows what the pecking order is. Thankfully, Sarah makes an ally out of her roommate Ellen “Strots” Strotsberry, a cigarette-huffing, devil-may-care athlete who takes no bullshit. Also down the hall is Nick Hollis, the devastatingly handsome RA, and the object of more than one St. Ambrose student’s fantasies. Between Strots and Nick, Sarah hopes she can make it through the semester, dealing with not only her schoolwork and a recent bipolar diagnosis, but Greta’s increasingly malicious pranks.

Sarah is determined not to give Greta the satisfaction of breaking her. But when scandal unfolds, and someone ends up dead, her world threatens to unravel in ways she could never have imagined. The St. Ambrose School for Girls is a dangerous, delicious, twisty coming-of-age tale that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Thank you @gallerybooks 🩷

New rec ➡️ YELLOWFACE by @kuangrf This was s $New rec ➡️ YELLOWFACE by @kuangrf This was such a sharp and riveting satire—super addictive and awash with the kind of drama from which you can’t look away. The story centers on a struggling author, who in a moment of shocking desperation, steals the manuscript of a “literary darling” friend (who dies in a freak accident) and claims it as her own. The story is brutal, a relentless, horrifying, spiraling chain of events. Kuang brilliantly tackles controversial issues: appropriation, authenticity & identity, greed, cancel culture, plus the dark side of the publishing industry and social media. I devoured it as I clamored to see how it all would end. Highly recommend 👏🏼 {link in bio} ____________________________________________________ White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.$

I am such a huge @emilyhenrywrites fan (have been since her debut) and her latest, HAPPY PLACE, totally delivers in every way!

This heartwarming story centers on close-knit friends facing the growing pains of their relationships, and is explored through the perspective of two of those friends breaking up ahead of their annual vacation in Maine. It’s replete with funny banter, nostalgia, emotion and so much more. Highly recommend you pick this one up, stat!!!
