💙📚BOOK REVIEW 📚💙

⭐️THE STORM BY RACHEL HAWKINS⭐️

⭐️QUICK THOUGHTS ⭐️

⭐️I loved the setting of the Alabama Gulf Coast

⭐️The mystery slowly builds around great characters.

A true crime writer investigates an old case involving a young mistress who was suspected but never proven to have murdered her lover during a hurricane. This is by far my favourite Rachel Hawkins novel to date. Run don‘t walk. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin‘s Press for the ARC.

3.5⭐️

This was an entertaining read, had some interesting twists, but it still left me wanting more…Or maybe less.

Everyone in the story seems to be carrying a secret, and as those were revealed, I found myself thinking: Well, this was convenient…

Also, one of the main events that happen in the story was heavily hinted at, so that took the shock out of it.

Overall, happy I read it, but expected more.

4.5⭐️

A murder from 40 years ago, a family that has a legacy, and a hotel, Rosalie, that has withstood years of hurricanes. Sounds interesting, right? Well, I had a little trouble getting into it. I think because I couldn't figure out, in some parts, who was actually telling the story. But, once I got that figured out, I got into the book, and by the 60% mark, I was flying through it.

There comes a point when the twists and turns become a tangled mess instead of an intricately plotted story. The shifting points of view and timelines and the soapy drama were just too much. The ending was not a surprise at all. Due to be released 1/6/26. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy.

Felt like reading a thriller and found this on my January ARCs…

I loved this book. It kept my interest all the way to the very end. A storm is coming. Both literally and figuratively. Set in Southern Alabama. Along the coast. Right where hurricanes hit...

Three best friends and a hurricane... What could possibly go wrong??

This is an atmospheric thriller set in Alabama. It has several flashbacks and deals with the destruction caused by several hurricanes that have hit the small-town setting. The action takes place primarily at an historic beach hotel and features some strong women and some less than wonderful men, so it does have a feminist feel that I enjoyed. There were a few surprise twists, and I quite enjoyed the book. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the ARC. 4/5

Considering that I live on the coast of Florida, I really shouldn‘t like books that feature hurricanes, but I do. This one is about a murder that uses the Hurricane as cover/reason someone dies.

Rachel Hawkins's new book, "THE STORM," will officially be released on January 6, 2026!
