PROMPT: FALL IN THE TITLE

Allison by her own choice had no contact with her mother for two years, and then her mother found out that Allison had been killed in a plane crash.

Keeps you rapidly turning the pages, has good writing, great detail, and enough suspense that you won‘t want to put the book down.

Today‘s Prompt: SENSE OF FALLING

FREEFALL keeps you rapidly turning the pages, has good writing, great detail, and enough suspense that you won‘t want to put the book down.

Through bits and pieces everything slowly came together, the mystery unraveled, and the intensity of the situations increased.

If you enjoy suspense, secrets, and twists, FREEFALL fits the bill.

Previously known as Freefall, which I actually prefer to the trope-tastic Look For Me, this was a pacey & engaging thriller, well plotted & written yet fun & undemanding enough to make it a perfect pool-side read. Took a while to hook me but when it did it just got better & better & I got more gripped & invested as it hurtled towards a nail-biting conclusion. Not hugely original but it entertained with inducing cynicism in this hard nosed reader.

Nute Wonder why they changed the title? 4y

Excellent. I really liked this one about a woman who survives a plane crash BUT she‘s hiding something. Told in alternating chapters from the perspective of the crash survivor and her estranged mother. It was fun and kept me engaged during this pandemic 😬 I‘ll be sure to check out her new book!

Cinfhen This was a smart thriller that had me enraptured!!! 4y

Well I keep buying kobo books and I just got a ridiculous Book Outlet order so I‘m reading! Nothing new in print, I‘ve had this around for some time but pretty good so far. And I was getting a bit stuck with Above All Things (George Mallory is a bit of a tool) so started Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roper. Phew! I‘m reading less because of no commute, anyone else? Also, unnecessary cat photo. This is black cat #2 of 4, Whiskers

Maggie‘s daughter Alison is presumed dead when a small aircraft she was traveling in crashes. But Alison has survived and now she‘s desperate to reach her mom, a woman she hasn‘t spoken to in two years. Maggie determined to unravel the last few years of her daughter‘s life begins her own investigation into the plane crash. Parts implausible but it‘s easy to forgive as this book is a total page turner. Addictive and full of genuine twists❣️🙌🏻

Freefall was a great debut crime novel with an interesting premise. The main character survives a plane crash and we learn all that led up to it through her and her mother, who doesn‘t know her daughter survived.

My Lovely Wife not so much. Not a single likable character, though the narrator seems to absolve himself of any responsibility for heinous crimes by the end. Almost threw it across the room.

Allison and her mother have not spoken in a year. And now Allison has been in a plane crash, assumed dead. What follows is a tale told from both Allison and her mother's perspective as we learn about the strength of these two women - to survive, to believe, to love, to search for truth - and the lengths that they would go to for family. Tense, moving, and vividly brought to life.

#MarchReads: I read 11 books in March!
1 audiobook (The Outsider)
Except The Outsider and Sang Famille all books were written by women.
My favorite read: Verity, for sure. Although The Outsider was awesome as well.

This is told from two voices, Ally and her mother each tell their story. I like this idea as it gives you both perspectives. This was a really interesting read with some very clever twists. The plot is steady and builds the suspense up well. The ending is really good and finishes the story off perfectly. Theres so much to this story that it kept me turning the pages especially towards the end.

A fine example of the genre.

The tale is told from the two perspectives of Allison and Maggie, giving background to both their stories......bleak at times but utterly compelling.

This is a slow burn, with the tension gradually building and building right to the truly heart thumping end...

An exceptional debut novel from Jessica Barry and I will be waiting impatiently for her next endeavour.....

I have to admit that I was underwhelmed with the selection for the Barnes and Noble #bookhaul today, but I still spent $100 there so the joke is on me I guess.

The Stephen King was full price. I‘m collecting these gorgeous editions for my shelves. Underground Airlines was a bargain buy, but I heard Anne Bogel recommend it recently and I had to have it.

AbbiJack I recently read Watching You and really enjoyed! 5y
BookNAround I took my son and spent a ton of money on books for him, not a single one of which was included in the book haul. I didn‘t end up getting anything for myself because I was spending so much on him and I either already had or wasn‘t interested in their selections. 5y

I read this thriller (written pseudonymously by romance writer Melissa Pimentel) in one sitting! Told in the alternating voices of mother and daughter, this is really a novel about how family ties can fray but never quite snap. Fast paced and enjoyable, with a satisfying ending. #TrickyCat #CatsofLitsy

Currently listening/reading Freefall.

Do any of you switch back and forth between listening and reading the same book? I do this pretty regularly. I‘m loving this book!

Thanks to Harper Books #partner for sending me a free review copy. #freefall #freefallbook #harperbooks #jessicabarry

BillBlume I have only ever done that with DoG&M, because it helped me get through what was a dreadfully awful book. Side note: this is the book that made me realize an advantage of audiobooks is that you don‘t have to pause the story to roll your eyes. 5y

Snow day for me today!! ❄️❄️ First order of business was finishing up this one! Allison survives a plane crash and has to run to keep her secrets hidden and stay safe. The premise of this book drew me and it didn‘t disappoint! I loved the writing style, the suspense, trying to figure out what would happen and how you slowly learn more background on the story until everything comes together. Check this one out!!

Thank you @HarperBooks for the complimentary review copy! I have been disappointed by a lot of thrillers over the last couple of years, and haven‘t read one for a while. The buzz around this book was too interesting to ignore, and I‘m so glad I read it - a tantalizing fast paced plot with some heft. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Full review: http://www.bornandreadinchicago.com/2019/01/freefall-by-jessica-barry-arc-review...

I‘m clearly the only one so far to make a negative review about this one. I found it to be predictable and far fetched (not in a good way). The only positive I can say is that it was well written. The story just didn‘t do it for me. 🙁
