I usually don't read romance. But this book has such great reviews, so I fell down the rabbit hole.
This was great! Totally grab it and read for a break between genres.

I read this on my kindle. It was a Facebook recommendation. Glad I gave it a try, it kept you suspenseful and shocked at the characters' turn of events.
Definitely will try another novel by this author.

This is a first of Freida's novels. I usually don't like to follow popular books right away, yet glad I grabbed this. I was told that most of her books are fast paced, and this didn't disappoint.
This is quick, vivid and intriguing. I was blown away.

This was a BookTok recommendation I found. They claimed you could finish in 24-48hrs. Sure did!!!
So if you've found yourself in a reading slump, take this book!! You will be equally happy!!

This was a slower Patterson coauthored novel. The main character Emily, you wanted to like but made continuous bad decisions. Unfortunately I DNF after about 200 pgs in. I couldn't wait for the other 200 🙈.

This sequel is a fast read. Each chapter is a cliffhanger and can't stop.

Being on a Memoir kick, this one is ok. I guess for adding a lot of detail to understand each achievement, made this a bit long winded.
Still a great read.

A few reviews on Goodreads gave this 1 star. It does start off slow. But as you get through it, as much as you'd want to stop reading. You are still curious as to what happens.

Near Miss | Stuart Woods, Brett Battles

Stone never disappoints, still fast to be hunted. Equally as quick to acquire a female to hop in his bed.
Although a different author is continuing this popular series, I can't tell the difference between writing styles. Now that is talent.
Most times, you can tell when a novel is co-authored. This you cannot.

This series is just a great diversion.

Robbie Jordan, owner of Pans 'N' Pancakes finds herself in another situation. Her Aunt Adele, former mayor of South Lick, has started something. Not too nefarious, as she knows the limits.
South Lick, as well as her restaurant have become popular to tourists and not the good popular.
The Question remains: will this new resort be built? Or will it be turned down?

The Malta Escape | Chris Kuzneski

My first introduction to this series was The Einstein Pursuit and loved it! Bought this book a few years ago, and it kept taunting me on my TBR.
As History is not my strong suit, this took me the first 100pgs to get hooked. I really enjoy the Banter between the characters, and Jarrko is an awesome edition.

The hype is correct for this novel. By all means, be cautious as it is mentally straining, and may be triggering due to content.
This started off as a fast read, but then I became confused. Edy's behavior is typical teen, until it's not.

Stumbled across this title from a Goodreads list. If you haven't indulged in the Goodreads app, I recommend that you do.

Each book in this series continues to keep you on edge. I had the pleasure of seeing the author this year on his book tour of one his other novels. He is so down to earth, funny, and honest.

This was an interesting read. Brave of himself to put his whole life in a book. Not everyone can air their faults and be comfortable doing so.
With his humor aside, he went through A LOT.
May he rest in comfortable peace.

I enjoy this series so much. If you are looking for a quick read. This is the route to go.
Stone never fails to get into the strangest predicaments, but his choice of company keeps surprising him as well. 🤦‍♀️

I enjoy this series. This particular story will have you annoyed with the enemy. But grateful for the ending.

I wish I enjoyed the Teddy Fay series equally as much, but I find they don't go as fast.

This series is turning out to be just the right cozy mystery. Maddie Day has you continually guessing the "who done it"

As always, this series is the best fast paced to read. Although the plot is becoming redundant, it's still enjoyable. Each Barrington book.

The 2nd book starts off slow as well. I don't know if this is an intentional trend of this author or not.
I struggled to finish, but still intrigued for the 3rd in this series.

I'm not usually a thriller reader. I couldn't put it down as it did keep me guessing. Was a little lengthy and I skipped about the last 30 pages.
Maybe if I found a faster paced author in the same genre, I'd like this one better 🤷‍♀️

It's amazing how sometimes when you want a fast read, you finish it in 2 days. This was fast paced, and a great Stone Barrington novel. Knowing you don't have to start this series from Book 1, helps. Recommend reading.
