Subbing in the school library today. Bittersweet because this is the library where I‘d hoped to work. They still haven‘t hired a permanent person. Makes me feel kind of put out. They didn‘t even interview me.

pickAs a new nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan is taught three crucial rules:
Treat all prisoners with respect.
Never reveal any personal information.
Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.
But nobody knows that Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary's most notorious and dangerous inmates
pick4.75⭐
I flew through this story and was genuinely moved by it. Although many readers share my positive reaction, I have noticed that there are quite a few who disliked it. I saw common complaints about disliking the MC, her repetitiveness, and believability issues. I'll admit the MC's thoughts were repetitive, and some story elements strained credibility, but neither bothered me much—I was too invested in the story for it to diminish my enjoyment.
Haven‘t been around much because we are moving. This is our first morning in the new place. It was warm for most of the moving process, but yesterday the weather returned to our usual mild coastal weather. Hopefully it will stay that way since now we have to clean the old place. I hope to reign in the chaos before I have to go back to work in October. 😊

Another Freida that did not disappoint…even though this one didn‘t have a huge twist as her other books, it was still a great fast-paced thrilling read to me😱🩷

so-soWhat can I say about this book? 😬
I didn‘t like Tegan or the other “main” characters, in fact they irritated me a lot 🤪😒🫢😬- considering I had only read The Housemaid series by this author, this wasn‘t a great start to the rest of her books, it was readable and kept me gripped just enough to get to the end
Read for reading challenges
3.75/5
pickReally good thriller! 4 out of 5 stars
