A great read about the impact of war, generational trauma, and the importance of human connection. Alternating perspectives of individuals in Las Vegas, centering the war in Iraq and the aftermath on soldiers and their families, as well as an immigrant family. In-depth inner dialogue and emotional lives of the featured characters who all struggle, but do their best. A great audio as well!

BarbaraBB I loved those one! 7d

I‘ve got my May #Roll100 ready to go! So far I‘ve been finishing one of my picks each month, which will probably continue to be the case. @PuddleJumper

Rumoured | Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso
post image
Pickpick

Pop icon & Grammy winner Harlow Hayes is arrested for murder. Tabloid journalist Naomi Barnes, who still grieves the death of her sister, is to cover the story. Is Harlow Hayes a cold-blooded killer?
You could tell the fun Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso had writing Rumoured and the deep sisterly bond they share is palpable throughout the book in the MC and her relationship with her sister.
...

Yuki_Onna Continued:

I've got to admit that the direction the story took toward the end lost me a bit, and I don't necessarily think this is a thriller. #Rumoured feels more like a contemporary mixed-media kind of story with a bit of a mystery element (and many Easter Eggs!) mixed in. Oh, and the cover is stunning. A fast-paced, fun & addictive read.

Thanks to #Netgalley and Aria & Aries, for the chance to read a copy in exchange for an honest review!

My second weekend in a row at HPB ended in a massive book haul… so here goes:

Completely an impulse buy because…black cat. There are a lot of books in this series too so I hope I like them

Soft pick bc the parts where young Lily endured sexual abuse was a lot for me, and sad 😞. Otherwise compelling at times and I found myself rooting for Lily (who calls herself Ruby, as a showgirl), and hoping she‘d find her niche.

This was a charming YA heist of a group of all asexual friends!

While there are a lot of things I like about Las Vegas, the actual casinos are pretty low on the list. 🤣

#SundayFunday Hope you all have a great day and don‘t forget to tag me!
