The 3rd book in the original trilogy. This book had me on the edge of my seat!! It was so good with lots of twists! I‘m excited to see what the next three books bring 🥰 I‘m hoping it will be the same characters, I‘ll find out soon 📖

This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! It‘s rare but I may have like this one more than the first? Hard to say since they were both so good 🥰 I can‘t wait to see what happens in the next book 😬📖

This book was a little slow to start but the last 100 pages were pretty good. I‘m going to read the next one in the series and hope it‘s got more going on 😂

A family is murdered, when the man convicted for the murders escapes and takes another family hostage.. what could possibly go wrong? 😅 I was gripped and really enjoyed this one! It probably could have been a bit shorter but that‘s okay 🥰

I think it‘s time to switch up authors. I‘m finding it slightly predictable and repetitive when reading so many in a row 😅 Still really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone that enjoys a psychological thriller 😁

These books are perfect to listen to while I do this huge project! Only 750 pictures to scrapbook from my trip 🤣❤️ So much fun looking back, I miss Scotland so much 😭❤️ it will always have a piece of my heart 💙

janeycanuck That‘s always the most overwhelming part of a trip! An audio is a good idea but I always seem to get lost in the photos and miss big chunks of the book. 3mo
michellelav @janeycanuck understandable 😅 I couldn‘t listen while I organized the photos by date cause i was missing chunks Forsure.. but now that I know I have everything for each date in specific envelopes, I finally feel like I can multitask 😂 3mo
janeycanuck @michellelav oh, smart! Happy scrapbooking ❤️ 3mo

This book was a fast and fun listen. I was hooked from the very start.. A murder has everyone on edge. I questioned everyone but was also not surprised with the twist.

This one if free on audible!

This book is so so because I found myself wanting to finish for the plot but hating all the characters 😅 I felt more annoyed at how long everything was taking to develop but I did finish it in 2 days and needed to find out the end 📖

It was a fun book to follow but I found it definitely dragged out at some points. Abby and her husband move to a new town and she makes fast friends with Sienna. After a dinner party one night, Sienna suggests swapping husbands (like wife swap the show) but what happens that night will haunt all of them from that point forward…

This was a really good book but I felt like besides the end, it didn‘t play into the Narnia landscape as much as the others. I really wish they wouldn‘t have canceled the movie cause it would have been so fun to watch!! Onto the last book in the series!

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage There‘s an old BBC tv version of this series that was on PBS, I think. The 1988 version? My sister and I watched it growing up. Maybe it‘s on prime? I just remember Tom Baker (of Dr. Who fame) played Puddleglum (edited) 4mo

Harlan Coben does it again.. Although this one felt more predictable it still had some twists I didn‘t see coming. What happens when the love of your life vanishes on your honeymoon? Not only that but one of the biggest celebrity couples out there. 📖

Simba was sleeping soundly so obviously had to get him in the pic 🥹

I enjoyed this book but found it lacked lustre for a thriller or suspense. The book takes place through 5 perspectives, we know one of the is dead but not who or why. The end was pretty good but I wish it was that exciting throughout 📖 Side note, everytime I look at the cover I think she‘s cutting her dress strap 😂

Guyyyssss, I tried SO hard to get through this book but I‘m 9hrs in out of 42 and I just can‘t do it 😭 it‘s on my scratch off poster so I was trying so hard to get it done but I‘m so lost, bored and just keep zoning out.

This was a good book that was easy to enjoy. Allan is 100 and sneaks out to have an adventure. The book goes back in time to his wild life and back to his current adventures with new friends along the way. Thanks @Jemmygem for the book recommendation!
