Wow! What a compelling debut novel by Joanne Tompkins. This story touched my heart and I‘m certain I will be thinking of these characters for a long time. This is a truly wonderful story about life after a horrific tragedy that deals with loss, grief, hope, forgiveness, family, personal growth and perseverance.

I‘ve been in reading slump for a couple months and this fast paced, suspenseful book did the trick of getting me back on track with my reading! Fun read about suburban moms behaving badly and murder. Highly recommend!

I love TJRs books. This was a fast read with a tragic love story and a coming of age story about four siblings. Although this isn‘t one of my favorites it was still an enjoyable reading experience and I do recommend it.

I‘ve read all of Riley Sagers books. Survive the Night isn‘t my favorite of his but it was definitely really good. For me it was a page turner and I really enjoyed my time reading it. Can‘t wait to see what he writes next!!

This book is intriguing, sad and a bit unsettling.
Don‘t read spoilers just dive right in. As you read you might think you have it all figured out but you‘re gonna be wrong. Definitely worth the read!

Grady Hendrix has become an “automatic buy” author for me. I loved My Best friends Exorcism and The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. We Sold Our Souls was just okay. I truly wanted to love it.

I was hooked from the first page and completely engrossed until the very end. It‘s an addictive novel with alternating timelines, points-of-view and plenty of twists. A great combination of suspense and emotional depth.

A dark gothic thriller with a claustrophobic setting.
I liked that I was intrigued by the first chapter and wanted to keep reading to figure out how it was going to end. I enjoyed the characters and the descriptive writing. A pretty solid read. I recommend it!

I was hooked from the first page to the last. I felt sad, angry, hopeful and happy. I felt all the feelings at one point or another while reading about Janes journey. This story takes place on an isolated farm in the UK and we follow Jane who is being held captive by a monster. This book is dark & intense and definitely worth the read.

It took me more time than usual to finish this book. I wasn‘t completely captivated and found myself struggling to pick it back up. However, I pushed through and was pleasantly surprised that I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. Although it‘s not a favorite I‘m still glad I read.

I received this ARC in the mail today.

I love when I start a new book and get hooked from the beginning. I didn‘t want to put this book down. I needed to know what was going to happen next. I‘ve heard people say this book is like Baby Teeth?!? I‘ve never read it but now I‘m definitely planning on picking it up this year.

I took my time reading this book. It was a little slow in spots but it kept my attention. It‘s a lovely book.

3.5/5 stars
I liked it but didn‘t love it. The small cliffhanger at the end does have me anticipating the next book in the series. I feel like this book set up a lot of ground work for the rest of the series and I know that was necessary but it made the book move a little slow for me.

5/5 stars
I love this book. I love the cover design. I stayed up until 2am to finish it because I didn‘t want to put it down. I highly recommend it. A perfect book to read in October 👻

A fantastic psychological thriller. Once I started this book I didn‘t want to put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next and right when I thought I had it all figured out....plot twist! SO GOOD!!

I read this book in two days. Easily could have read in one day if I didn‘t have responsibilities. It had some pretty twisted stuff going on but I was fascinated as to how it would all play out. I loved it!

I LOVE this book! I love January and Gus!
Such a great reading experience. I laughed a lot. My heart hurt at times. I can‘t say enough good things about about Beach Reads. This is possibly my favorite book of 2020!! I suggest reading this book right now!

Starting book #28 🙌🏻

This book is twisted. I was hooked from beginning to end. If you‘re looking for a thriller that‘s truly messed up and fast paced this is the one for you.

**In this chilling, twisty thriller, D.J. Palmer takes you into the depths of obsession, showing the lengths people will go to keep their family together.....or tear it apart**

I devoured this book in one day. So good!!! Highly recommend.

Release date 4/14/20

Starting today. I‘ve heard nothing but great things about this book!!

#springbreak #snowing #quarantine

I really wanted to love this book. Maybe my expectations were to high. However, I did like it and I‘m glad I read it.
What are your opinions?

A great read! I was intrigued by the premise of this horror novella and my attention was held throughout. It had some creepy stuff going on and I loved it!

Release date 5/26/20
Thanks to Tor and NetGalley for my early copy

I liked this book. It had a few slow spots and at times I felt my attention slipping away but I stuck with it and ended up liking the story overall.
It‘s the first book in a new series by Mary Burton and I will be continuing with this series.

Siblings, a fortune, murder, a road trip and Samantha Downing.....need I say more?!?! I truly enjoyed it. It‘s a 4.5/5 star book. I will admit I have a love/hate relationship with the last three sentences of this book.
At this point I will read anything Samantha Downing writes.

Thanks to NetGalley for my chance to read early. Release date 4/28/20
