The Au Pair | Emma Rous
Pickpick

My fourth psychological thriller for the new year and I can honestly say they all have been 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Murder, suspense, intrigue help to get you in a trance and you won‘t want to stop until you have devoured the whole book.

She Lies in Wait | Gytha Lodge

Thirty years ago six teens go on a camp out but only five come out. This, for me, was a page turner, I just couldn‘t put it down. I give high praise to the author Gytha Lodge for her development of each character so that you felt like you knew them. Looking forward to reading her next book. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Silent Patient | Alex Michaelides

Pickpick

For a new publishing house they selected one of the best psychological thrillers to start their company off with a bang. I will admit it took me just a little bit to get into the book but once I did, I couldn‘t put it down. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn‘t have it all figured out til the end. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Looking forward to Alex Michaelides next novel.

This little gem packs an emotional wallop . 💥💥💥💥💥 Leah Carroll writes and emotional memoir about her mother‘s murder and her dad‘s death. She quickly captured my attention and I did not put the book down unless it was to take Truman (my dog) potty.

Then She Was Gone | Lisa Jewell
Pickpick

💥💥💥💥⭐️. Easily give it four big blasts and a half. This book brought me out of my current reading slump. Even though I eventually figured all the twists out and in my imagination I had written a different twist for the book. I have always liked Jewels writing style.

Took a break from the psychological thriller to read this. Now, for me it didn‘t live up to the 💥💥💥💥💥hype but I can give it 💥💥💥💥. I liked the memoir feel, the not-so overly romantic scenes. The bond of friendship Evelyn had with Harry. Kept my attention and was a good book to purge the darkness away.

💥💥💥💥⭐️ Rix blends enough mystery and historical facts to keep me page turning to the very end. I honestly wasn‘t really in a mood for a “romance” but this one didn‘t feel like a syrupy romantic tale. I feel in love with Rachael. Thanks to @Bookouture and NetGalley for my ARC copy for an honest review. #thephotograph

The Beach House | Mary Alice Monroe

Has anyone seen the movie on Hallmark? I finally watched it. I am in the middle of Beach House Reunion and thought what a great time to see the movie. WRONG!!! I have disappointed. I feel they left out some of the major and necessary parts that would have endured the movie it my heart like the book is.

💥💥💥💥💥 The reason for the five 💥 because this authors main character captured my heart. I felt her emotions as if they were my own.

Forgotten Ones | Steena Holmes
Pickpick

💥💥💥💥💥 Holmes takes her readers on a journey into one families strange and twisted history. The old saying every family has their skeletons?!? Well, Holmes takes us to an elderly man‘s death bed, are his stories hallucinations or are they spin-chilling truth?!? Once again, Holmes brought me to tears and will remember this one for a long time coming.

The Glass Castle: A Memoir | Jeannette Walls

We selected this as our Thanksgiving movie to watch. I am so glad that we did. Even my 80 yr old mother became throughly entranced by it. What a difficult and challenging childhood the children had. Really woke my children up on how many privileges they have. Now I need to read the book.

OMG!!! I cannot express how much this book kept me intrigued and invested in the stories of three broken souls who through the journey of the book they become whole. Narrated in 1947 by Charlotte(Charlie) St. Clair and in 1915 by Eve. Quinn has weaved a fantastic historical story using facts regarding true people and events. The outcome a read that at times had me emotionally invested.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I will say if I had read any of Randall Silvia work before but I will make I read anymore that he has in the series. This book caught me within the first 50 pages and held me til the end. One that anyone who loves a police procedural, suspense, and deep character this is one for them to read.

Hands down 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. DI Robyn Carter is getting bored at the desk job she has been assigned too. Tricia, her fellow gym rat, asks for her help. Join Robyn and her team for this fast paced thriller. Wyer has done it again in this 2nd book in a series. Pick it up in a bookstore near you.

A Negro and an Ofay | Danny Gardner

Pickpick

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. I have to give it the five stars because the writing was an excellent departure from the style I have been reading of late. With some Mississippi slang thrown, which to be honest threw me at first, the writing incorporated slang and proper English. I can see this becoming a different type of detective series. Gardner makes Elliot to become a friend I want to read more of.

Giving this. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I usually do not read the romance novels as a norm. Preferring the psychological thrillers, mystery, suspense, historical fiction etc. Now I will say the sex scenes are very steamy. ☺️😅 Dakota Hale is a self-made business woman and Max Carr is a Wall Street financial wiz. When Max buys the Hale Home he hires Dakota to redo the house. The chemistry is SIZZLING but Dakota doesn't mix business with pleasure...UNTIL

Girls in the Garden | Lisa Jewell

Pickpick

Pip, Grace and their mother, Clare move into one of the flats in a complex that has a communal private park off the backside of the buildings. In the park is a Rose garden, Pip finds her sister Grace in the garden with her clothes in disheveled state. As the story unfolds the mystery of the garden and what happened to Grace is told. The book moves quickly but comes to a disappointing thud. Would recommend it but caution the thud.

The latest book in the his DCI Erika Foster series. I fell in love with Erika in the first book The Girl In The Ice. With her two DI'S Moss and Petersen. Girls have gone missing, discarded in the rubbish bins. Discover that social media is involved. After reading this you might discover you hesitate before posting on social media again. Recommend reading the series in order as this is book. Hands down 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a page turner for me. Hadley Dixon comes from a family that is different. The summer of her tenth year everything changes. Hadley returns with her daughter. As we bounce from past to present the family secrets all come to light. This leaves Hadley questioning everything she ever knew. Subject matter maybe sensitive for some readers. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
