pickFreida McFadden didn‘t disappoint with this novel. There were so many twists I wasn‘t sure how it would end. Sam and Abby have been married for years and have been unsuccessful in having a baby. Monica, Abby‘s assistant volunteers to be a surrogate for them. Lots of things go wrong, of course. The characters were wrapped up some I liked and others were not good humans. 4/5
pickI saw the end coming with this 🤣 I think I've read that much Freida McFadden books that I actually have her mindset going in now.
Still an enjoyable read which is perfectly paced. I always find FM's epilogues are wild. Just when you think everything is sorted.....BAM... epilogue... all goes west 🤣
pickI groaned through most of this book and its cliches, but I did not see the culprit coming!!! I saw the red herring and still think he‘s a creeper. Man, Frida got me again in the end. Book #102 in 2024
so-soDark Corners is a fast-paced thriller with a few twists and turns. While there are some twists and turns in the novel, there are also a lot of parts that were rather predictable but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the narrative. The audiobook was simply ok and did not do the novel justice. At times I felt like the narration was too monotone and flat, although I did like that there were different narrators.
pickThis fast paced novel had many flawed but interesting characters. There was sex, adultery, theft, murder and multiple twists and turns. There were a couple of sweet nieces, con men, a sexy socialite and a law professor. Most of the action takes place in Chicago with a bit of traveling. Simon and Vicky seem like a normal married couple in a stale relationship. Be prepared to ask yourself again and again if you know what is happening. 4.25/5
pick4 Stars • The Coworker by Freida McFadden is a psychological thriller centered around two women, Dawn Schiff and Natalie Farrell, who work at Vixed, a nutritional supplement company. The story begins when Dawn doesn't show up for work one morning, prompting concern from Natalie. ⬇️
pickThis audiobook was so much fun! It…was…all…over…the…place!! The twists and turns were epic and it was really fun trying to guess where it was going and what each perspective was actually trying to tell you (I‘m pretty good at guessing and I couldn‘t keep up 🤣). Fast paced, exciting, and definitely entertaining. A 5🌟 thriller for sure!
so-soKaren has a car accident that erases her memory of the hours before. Her husband is worried, her neighbor supportive, and everyone is keeping secrets. The plot has potential but the execution misses the mark. The writing is repetitive, lacks subtlety and there is too much 'tell' and not enough ‘show'. Still, the idea behind the plot is decent. If you pick this one up, I recommend going in blind to let the suspense unfold. ⭐️⭐️💫 2.5/5 ❤️📚
