Only One Survives: A Novel | 
pickIn this thriller we follow the story of a young woman's quest for fame and fortune as a drummer in a band. Her home was one of neglect and poverty and she sees her talent as a way out. It is a cautionary tale about that quest, but also an entertaining story with a great twist about midway that took me by surprise. While the plot was somewhat farfetched, I did enjoy it. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital advance reading copy . 3.75/5 stars!
pick“Only One Survives“ combines suspense, drama, and psychological twists in a way that feels fresh and thrilling. McKinnon's knack for creating believable characters and maintaining a sense of unease throughout makes this book a standout. If you‘re into psychological thrillers or stories about the dark side of fame, you‘ll find this one satisfying.
Another hit from one of my favorite authors. This was definitely an edge of your seat thriller. A who done it that I didn't see coming. I also didn't see the second big twist coming. While I do believe this to be geared more toward young adults I did enjoy it.
