Prompt: COLLEGE

Jordan's friend tells her something that she can't ignore, and she must return to Cambridge University.

The journey back to her college days is emotionally painful because she never wanted to have to re-live an experience that changed her entire life and up to now had almost been put out of her conscious thoughts.

Today‘s Prompt: ART GALLERY

Two women - Soline and Rory - one that owned a bridal salon who made magical wedding gowns that guaranteed happy endings and one who was starting an "art gallery."

Ms. Davis has outdone herself with this book…historical fiction, love, heartaches, forgiveness, secrets kept for years, but most of all hope in all of it.

Today‘s Prompt: GRAVEYARD

A body under the floorboards, a body in a freezer, a drugged niece in a graveyard. Those things were the start of it.

SUNDAY SILENCE will definitely appeal to psychological thriller fans and repeat readers of Nicci French‘s books.

FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/2x89pe4f

Did I cause Jamie‘s death?  

Was he that distraught after we broke up that he killed himself after seeing me at the party?

He didn‘t seem upset, and we had a brief, cordial chat.

A few minutes after Jamie left the party, a gunshot is heard, and then a blaring horn.  

THE LAST TIME SHE SAW HIM was told by Kiki, Jamie‘s ex-girlfriend, and was a bit slow, but a good mystery with  a few surprises.

A text from Drew?

How could that be - he left and has passed away.

Computer geeks and mystery fans will enjoy this book even though it‘s a bit frightening what can be found and hacked.

Lots of secrets, illegal transactions, shady characters, and a few unrealistic but good things that do happen.

This was my first book by this author, and I truly enjoyed it. 4/5

Today‘s Prompt: HAUNTED

“Haunted,” hunted, completed.

The Bakersville Burier definitely gave Evelyn Baine, an FBI profiler, a run for the money.

HUNTED kept me awake reading to find out what happened and also kept me awake with every light on because of the fright factor.

FULL REVIEW 6/6

1950‘s -1960‘s - North Carolina - things are changing, but also staying the same.

Three families - one rich tobacco farm owner and two sharecroppers.

Talmadge Farm kept me turning the pages with Mr. Daughtry‘s descriptive writing and wonderful characters.

In the end, you will be left with a warm feeling because of the closeness the families share and their hopefulness. 5/5

PROMPT: ATTIC

After her husband died, Merritt left their home in Maine and headed to South Carolina to Cal's grandmother's home that she had inherited.

Grandmother Edith's home is a huge mansion where she kept secrets locked up inside herself and in the “attic.” 

Suspense and mystery as well as addressing the issue of domestic violence.

When Ellie black came back after being missing for two years she shocked everyone and wouldn‘t tell anyone where she was.
