pickThree sister‘s parents were murdered one night, one sister was suspected, but never convicted. Years later, the suspected sister moves back to the childhood home where the crime was committed and pieces of that fateful evening start to connect from the shattered memories of all three sisters. This was a low pick for me. It was just kind of blah in plot and the ending somewhat confusing. 🫤
so-soI didn‘t like this one as much as her first one. I feel like I got lost in the varying view points. I had a hard time keeping track of everything and even caring about all of the characters. The twist at the end saved it a little bit for me, though and I would definitely read her next book when she writes something else!
pick4✨ There is quite a few characters, but only two POVs that we follow. We also start at present day and go back in time. This helps you ask the question: “What the heck happened?” It is really fast paced and even though it jumps from time and characters it‘s pretty easy to follow and helps to uncover the mysteries as it goes. Pretty dark and twisty on a few things, there is one mystery uncovered that is really messed up. #FableBR
pickThis novel merges the intensity of a thriller with the emotional resonance of a love story, delivering a reading experience that is compelling and emotionally rich. The fast pace and propulsive writing create tension. The slow burn on the reveals adds layers of intrigue and suspense without sacrificing emotional depth and an underlying sense of hopefulness. Walsh has created a story that is both suspenseful and moving. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
so-soThis is the anti-small town friends and family book. Many of the people were quietly cruel and the main character was extremely mealy mouthed. The quirky character was a bit too much and the story felt vague and drawn out.
pickA good, twisty book 2. Jennifer Lynn Barnes knows how to weave a story & wrote characters you either love or love to hate.
My June #ReadOrDonate book is complete. My daughter is reading this duology now.

pickGreat thriller. Emma returns to her family's house years after she and her two sisters found their parents murdered there. The murder was never solved, and Emma's life has been haunted by suspicion from the police and the townspeople. Her sisters, Daphne & JJ, don't like Emma sniffing around and trying to solve the old mystery. I really liked the theme of estranged sisters still having a strong camaraderie when they meet after years of no contact.
pickThis book should have come with some warnings. There's some pretty explicit descriptions of child sexual abuse in multiple parts throughout the book. I think it makes sense to the character development as it goes back and forth in time to show this woman's relationship with her mom, husband, and another man, but yeah...warning for those of you who haven't read it!
