Welcome to Litsy!

Tess seems to have a problem remembering. Every morning she wakes up not knowing what is happening in her life. This reminds me of Groundhog Day in all ways. Not the best Freida McFadden book. 3.5/5⭐️

I was totally bought into this neighborhood drama and the characters. I loved trying to figure out who died and who was the killer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Can this woman write a bad book? Although, The Inmate starts a bit slower than her other novels, it gains stream in the middle and doesn‘t let off. McFadden always surprises me with something in her endings and this one did not disappoint ☺️

The Crash exceeded my expectations. As the story unfolded, it became increasingly suspenseful. I particularly enjoy Freida‘s writing style, which allows the reader to experience the story from each character‘s perspective. The ending was perfect—very sweet and tender. It wasn‘t what I‘ve come to expect from Freida, so I thoroughly enjoyed this unexpected twist to her creativity.

So many great memories in April 📚🌷 Favorites are on the top two shelves.

This was a very fun, cozy mystery about a mom who maybe witnesses a crime and the chaos ensues. A fun collection of characters, some nice surprises and a little bit of romance. I look forward to more books with Mavis! 4.5⭐️

4 Stars • The Inmate by Freida McFadden is a gripping psychological thriller that I couldn‘t put down. Brooke Sullivan, a nurse at a maximum-security prison, faces her ex, Shane, a convicted murderer she helped put away. ⬇️

•I tried this while knowing it probably wouldn‘t work for me, despite really liking Kill For Me, Kill For You. Inevitably, it was a combination of the narration and the storyline that didn‘t work for me. It wasn‘t my style of book, I believe. When it comes to thrillers, I‘m more new-school than old-school, and this felt old-school to me, which more than likely translates to it being liked by many others.

Every time I pick up a novel by Gregg Hurwitz, I can‘t help but feel confident that it‘s going to be an excellent read. His first novel, “The Tower,” is a fast-paced and suspenseful story that perfectly captures the essence of the genre I love. It features a high-security prison, a sadistic serial killer, and an ex-FBI agent, all elements that make for a thrilling and engaging read.
