✨ SKINCARE UPDATE ✨ A long-overdue skincare

✨ SKINCARE UPDATE ✨

A long-overdue skincare post is #ontheblog this week! I’m sharing what I’m using and loving right now. I’ve been really focused on evening out skin tone and achieving that super glowy look, which is really all about hydration, and so important especially for women my age and older. I’ve been trying out lots of new product too, and sharing some of my favorite finds. Let me know what you think, if you have some of your own tried-and-trues to share, and as always if you have any questions.

New Review: HELL BENT by @lbardugo 5 ⭐️ {full

New Review: HELL BENT by @lbardugo
5 ⭐️ {full review linked in bio}

Have you read it??? Hell Bent was one of my most anticipated reads this year and it so delivered. If you’re not familiar with this series, Hell Bent is Leigh Bardugo’s second installment in her dark academia/fantasy series (the first book is Ninth House) about magical secret societies at Yale.

(Stop 🛑 here if you’ve not read book 1)

In this latest, Galaxy “Alex” Sterns descends into Hell to steal Darlington’s soul. Ill equipped and without resources and permission, Alex—now Virgil of Lethe—plots with Pamela Dawes (Oculus) to find a portal to Hell and conspire to save Darlington. As Alex and Dawes assemble tremulous allies for such a quest, Yale faculty begins to mysteriously die off, and Alex’s criminal past resurges.

There were so many aspects I loved about this novel. I loved the interplay between Alex’s street-crime underworld and Yale’s entitled secret-society magic. The just-right humor that effervesced the situational gravity. Alex’s willingness to do anything and everything for those she cares about, and how they too show up for her. But most of all, I loved Bardugo’s abundant imagination and vivid worldbuilding, and how these well-drawn, complex characters bring it all to life.

The stakes are high, the monsters, formidable, the magic, grisly, and the story, deeply human in this must-read sequel. And as with the first book, we end on a cliffhanger and I am already (desperately) clamoring for more.

New Review: The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by @

New Review: The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by @roshanichokshi ✨✨✨
5 ⭐️ {full review in bio}

This gothic fairy tale was a 2023 favorite before I even finished reading it. Beautifully written, haunting, and rippling with an otherworldly magic that kept me mesmerized, Roshani Chokshi once again delivers a story which will stay with me for awhile. The novel introduces us to a scholar and an enigmatic heiress, as their marriage begins to collapse under the weight of her dark secrets. When they married, the only stipulation was that he wouldn't pry into her past, but when they travel to her childhood home (the House of Dreams), he learns about her best friend that vanished when they were teens. Gradually, the house begins to whisper of transgressions past, unearthing what once transpired between two young girls who forged a world glimmering with magic, promises and play.

Reality and fantasy blur in this book that I loved so much and I can't recommend it enough. I've been a devoted fan of Roshani (and her poetic writing) since her debut (The Star-Touched Queen) and she continues surpass my every expectation with each novel she pens. This one is out Valentine's Day, so make sure to pre-order!

New Review: THE VILLA by @ladyhawkins ✨ 5 ⭐️

New Review: THE VILLA by @ladyhawkins ✨
5 ⭐️ {full review in bio}

In efforts to rekindle their friendship, estranged best friends venture to an infamous Italian villa where a brutal murder took place in the 1970s.

Hawkins pens a gothic thriller that’s provocative and haunting, brilliantly layered and utterly absorbing (I was seriously so hooked). We alternate between past and present storylines to understand what happened in 1974, as we ferret out what is happening in present day between these two best friends.

Themes of friendship, betrayal, jealously, suspicion, creation, and fame all tumble together in this extraordinary thriller “inspired by Fleetwood Mac, the Manson murders, and the infamous summer Percy and Mary Shelley spent with Lord Byron.”

This novel is one of my 2023 favorites already and you can get more of the spoiler-free scoop on what to expect #ontheblog {link in bio}. Have you read The Villa yet????

New Review: THE HOUSE IN THE PINES 🌲
4 ⭐️ {full review linked in bio}

Have you read it???

In this debut thriller by Ana Reyes, we meet Maya, who struggles to kick a drug habit that started seven years prior when her best friend, Aubrey, died unexpectedly—dropping dead while in conversation with her then boyfriend, Frank. Seven years later, the same happens to another woman, and she’s convinced Frank is behind their deaths somehow. Trouble is, when she recalls the past, there’s a lot of haziness and lost time.

This story (told through alternating past and present chapters) follows Maya, as she tries to figure out what really happened. If you love unreliable narrators, this one may be for you!

Have you read it???? It’s the @reesesbookclub pick this month too!

More than 9 months after we ordered our @hallmanusa range, it finally arrived and was installed this week and we couldn’t love it more. I wanted an oven that was a little more of a statement piece and loved the look of this Italian one. It’s a dual fuel range (gas stovetop + electric oven) in a matte graphite color with brass hardware, and it looks so pretty in our (small) space.

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄Today is my favorite day of the year. I love setting up a beautiful table for my family, cooking all day, seeing my boys open gifts, playing card games, and staying up way too late chatting with a glass of champagne. The day always feels a little magical ✨

This year’s tablescape is a little different than previous years. I wanted a wildflower, rustic, moodier sort of vibe with a gleam of elegance and I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. Can’t wait for tonight’s dinner, and wishing each of you a happy, warm, magical Christmas ♥️

New book review: The Family Game by @catsteadman 🖤

📖: A novelist discovers the deadly games at play within the wealthy family into which she’s marrying.

I loved the premise and was rapt from the start. The secrets of a powerful family, the façade of perfection, the macabre games and gothic atmosphere—Steadman expertly weaves these elements to construct a narrative that’s uniquely alluring and deeply unsettling. Reminiscent of the show Succession with eccentric characters who hunger for power and hide many a secret, this novel is one I couldn’t help but binge. Bonus, the whole thing takes place during the holiday season, so this is the perfect time to devour this addictive thriller.

NEW REVIEW: DAISY DARKER by @alicewriterland 🌊

NEW REVIEW: DAISY DARKER by @alicewriterland 🌊 Alice Feeney is one of my faves, and I couldn’t wait to read her latest when I learned it was inspired by Agatha Christie’s AND THEN THERE WERE NONE (the book that made me fall in love with mysteries & thrillers in middle school). This latest is superb—a ‘locked room’ mystery that takes place off the Cornish coast, in the eccentric home of the matriarch of the dysfunctional Darker family.

The whole story unfurls in the span of hours, as they gather to celebrate Nana’s 80th birthday—shortly after, however, Nana ends up dead, a poem written on the wall foreshadowing what’s to come. No one can leave the island during high tide, there’s no cell service, and bodies begin to pile as those who remain try to ferret out the killer among them.

The story, with it’s sinister, suffocating atmosphere kept me utterly rapt, up until the surprising end.

Feeney really did it again—I loved it! My full, spoiler-free review #ontheblog ➡️ vilmairis.com/daisy-darker

New 📚 Review: THE IT GIRL by #RuthWare Have yo

New 📚 Review: THE IT GIRL by #RuthWare

Have you guys read it? What did you think??

I’m such a big fan of Ruth’s books! They’re always so cleverly plotted with narratives and characters that really draw you in. Her latest—out now—takes places ten years after our main character, Hannah, finds her roommate murdered. After the man convicted dies in prison, Hannah begins to doubt what happened that night, and the role she played in sending a potentially innocent man to prison. She delves into the past as a result, to uncover the truth.

As always, I found the book immersive, a compulsively readable ‘whodunit’ thriller. But check out my full review {link in bio} to get the spoiler-free scoop on how it compared to other RW books 🖤

It’s one of my favorite books this year!

Happy book birthday to #Upgrade and @blakecrouch1!

Happy book birthday to #Upgrade and @blakecrouch1! This book is one of the best I've read all year... I really, really loved it! 🧬

After a raid goes wrong, government agent & former molecular geneticist Logan Ramsey gets a major upgrade to his genome. His upgrade, however, unravels a plan to wreak havoc on humanity and he's the only one who can stop it.

Upgrade is an immersive thriller rife with high-octane action, ratcheting tension, vivid worldbuilding and riveting science. It’s clear the work was meticulously researched, making the premise equal parts fascinating and frightening. Crouch probes the moral complexity and perceived boundaries of ‘playing God’ while buoying the science-heavy narrative (which I love) with surprisingly emotive moments.
