Nine Perfect Strangers | Liane Moriarty
post image
Pickpick

Even with the truly bizarre twist, Moriarty makes it work. She truly nails it – and I‘m not just saying that because I don‘t want to be the mean reviewer who meets a sticky end in her next book. (Whichever real-life reviewer inspired Helen Ihnat in Nine Perfect Strangers needs our thoughts and prayers). Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/nine-perfect-strangers-liane-moriarty/

The Burning: A Novel | Linda Castillo

Reread! I have now read all of the Kate Burkholder Series, except her new one, Rage. I listened to The Burning this time, the first time I read it. Still really enjoyed it. Castillo writes such good books.

Mean Streak | Sandra Brown
Pickpick

A story with lots of thrilling moments, some quite scary. Dr Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician disappeared on a run in the mountains. A man who won‘t give his name may be involved or the Dr‘s husband. Is it kidnapping or worse. The wrongness of actions may not matter depending on what happens next. 4.25/5⭐️

God of the Woods | Liz Moore

Unpopular opinion, but wasn‘t as big a fan of this one as everyone seems to be. I can see the appeal I guess, but it was long and a bit tedious at times. The jumping around the time line and different perspectives worked, and the last section was tough to put down. But for me didn‘t hit the mark. Two kids from the same well to do family go missing in a fifteen year span. It‘s quite the mystery, but the pay off didn‘t quite deliver for me.

Sargar114 This was my #doublespin for this month @TheAromaofBooks 22h
Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve tried this three times now (on audio) and I just can‘t get into it. It was my bookspin too and I‘m dnf‘ing. I decided yesterday. I love that other people love it, I have to let it go. (edited) 21h
Desha I had to bail halfway through after trying several times to keep reading. I wanted to know what happened but just couldn‘t get invested enough to care about the characters deeply. 21h
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 18h

The Murder House | James Patterson, David Ellis

Pickpick

Noah lives in the Hampton area working as carpenter and handy man for the elite who call this area their summer home.Noah gets arrested for a double-murder, the evidence seems indisputable until Detective Jenna Murphy starts questioning the suspiciously convenient case against Noah.The deeper she dives into the case more homicides old and new come to light.A twisty read written in signature Patterson style that misdirects you keeping you guessing.

After hearing about this book so many times and having it sitting on my TBR but never quite reaching for it out of fear that it wouldn't live up to my expectations. An addictive read,the kind where you just want to read one more chapter and then one more.I found myself reading it any chance I got, for me it was genuine page-turner.I loved all the little twists.Just when I thought I had it all it figured out,I realised I was not even close.⭐⭐⭐⭐

Does It Hurt? | H D Carlton
Pickpick

Though I first heard of Carlton from the thousands of “Haunting Adeline” reviews, this was the first book I read of hers. To say I loved this read is a massive understatement. Not only are the spicy parts to die for, but the plot is incredibly thrilling. Yes, it is certainly questionable and morally concerning. There is a lot you need to be aware of before reading. Though if you‘re into this type of read, and love sharks, it‘s a must!!

I was spoiled for this by watching the movie first. The book is slightly better, however the characters are incredibly stupid. The horror is well done though. 3⭐️
