This woman is just amazing at what she does. 🤩 Totally underrated, IMO. Another great thriller under her belt!

Blew through this one in one day yesterday, since I didn‘t feel like doing much else. Another quick, yet terrifying, read by Kiersten Modglin.

Wow. Just, wow 🤯! I had never heard of this story, but what a crazy, hard to digest one that it is! This book is very well-written, and if you go into not knowing the story, like I did, pretty true-life mind blowing!

wanderinglynn Your tumbler! 😹😹😹❤️ 6d

While I‘m not thrilled with what went on before the publication date of this book, I must say that it was an excellent read. It‘s not for everyone, however. That‘s the fastest that I‘ve read a book in a long time!

Great twists in this one! *Almost* as good as Local Woman Missing. I, personally, think she‘s a phenomenal author! 🤩

My anxiety has been a real gem this week 😒, so interestingly enough, my next #bookishmonopoly roll took me to my ‘anxiety‘ prompt. I‘ve now started flipping this magazine that I‘ve had forever. 🙃

Does It Hurt? | H D Carlton

Not the bluest of covers, but I wanted to open this one..

The triggers warnings are real with this one. Sometimes I needed more to happen, but I thought her writing was phenomenal. Definitely worth it if you‘re into dark enemies-lovers books. #bookishmonopoly

Captivatedbybooks My fave was when she told Enzo (i believe his name was) “what hurts is you arent safe anymore” mannnnnn i felt that pain and understood her all to well 3mo

This was a fun, quirky, fast-paced read! The narrative of the main character was phenomenal, and she throws in some darkness that makes it even better.

Made a rough draft of my #bookishmonopoly board at work the other night, and I couldn‘t wait to try it today since I‘m ready for my next read! I landed on ‘person on cover‘, so The Surgeon it is! 🤩

AkashaVampie Ur board looks awesome. Glad u could join us. Hope u enjoy ur pick. also it is up to u on how many rolls u do. U can do 1 or 5 or 10 or 100. (edited) 3mo
guinsgirlreads Thank you! So fun! I‘ll post the whole board when I make it prettier lol. How does that work with multiple rolls?! 3mo
AkashaVampie @guinsgirlreads ur welcome hun. I will post a pic in a sec to show u what I do. 3mo
UwannaPublishme Beautiful board! I just joined #BookishMonopoly too. I‘m a slow reader, so I‘m rolling once each month-unless I finish the book sooner. 😊🎲 3mo
guinsgirlreads @UwannaPublishme thank you! It‘s still so fun, though, no matter how many rolls, I think! 3mo

Don't Let Her Stay | Nicola Sanders

Loved, loved, LOVED this book. A super quick read, and a glorious twisty ending. Another good one that keeps you guessing about who the crazy one is; my type of book. If is says 'an unputdownable psychological thriller', then it's for me.

This was definitely NOT The woman in the window. 😕 I liked the old-time mystery kind of feel, but this one just did not keep me engaged as much as I had hoped.

Nightwatching: A Novel | Tracy Sierra

This book was crazy good! The review on the cover does not lie. It was non-stop suspense, and non-stop 'is she crazy or not'?! The ending may be a touch rushed, but the ending isn't the point to this book at all. Good stuff!

I‘m pumped to say that between last night and this morning - 2 workouts, cooking dinner, and meal prepping - that I‘ve gotten through the most percentage of an audiobook than I ever have before! Am I finally going to be able to do it?! Or is it just because it‘s a Freida McFadden book?!

Kiersten Modglin thrillers are always fast reads, but the ending in this one felt extra rushed. I also wanted the happily ever after, but it didn‘t fully come. Still a fun read and a page-turner!

This book started off strong for me, and I had high hopes then poof- she lost me. I‘ve come to the conclusion that I‘m just not a fan or her writing. However, still an interesting idea in there somewhere.

Of course I loved this book, as I have been following these murders through and through so far. I needed him to elaborate on a couple of things more, but maybe he couldn‘t yet. Plus, of course, there‘s no trial outcome yet, 😒 but still written in clear investigative detail.

TheQuietQuill I was in shock when I found out that the killer lives 20 minutes from me in a small town PA. Very disturbing altogether, and so sorry for the lives lost. 8mo

I was bored through most of it one 😒.. IMO most of it hard more of a domestic drama flair, then psych thriller. Interesting ending, but it wasn‘t really put together enough before it for me.

This was a fascinating memoir by a local author about her suicide attempt, drug addictions and recovery. Short and quick read, but her writing is phenomenally expressive.

Becoming Mrs. Abbott | Kiersten Modglin
post image
Pickpick

There were some holes, but this may possibly be Kiersten Modglin‘s best book yet. It‘s definitely her longest, but there isn‘t a boring page in it! It‘s got Murder, twists (tons), turns (tons), and emotions and was amazingly written. Phenomenal read for me!
