If you need something to make you giggle like a crazy person while grocery shopping, put this one in your ear holes.

This sinister, tension filled story had me captivated right up till the end when�.BAM…out of nowhere, we get answers we could NOT see coming! I can’t say that I love this ending yet since I’m still processing, but I won’t forget it…EVER!
And that’s what sets Feeney apart from the rest. Her endings are what I live for. I have read all of her books so now I wait, impatiently, for this author to write another book to blow my mind!...more

Kate Alice Marshall has brought us another twisty story to wile away a snowy afternoon.
Theo Scott has a troubled past. Adopted at four years old, she has scant memories in the years prior. She doesn’t even know her real name. She feels like a non person drifting through this big world. But when Conner Dalton enters her life, they enjoy a whirlwind romance and a quick proposal of marriage. Now Theo has love. Now she belongs to someone.
When they go to meet Dalton’s wealthy family at their isolated mountain retreat, Theo has every intention of trying to fit into her new family. But she is receiving sinister text messages discouraging her from attending. Who is sending them? When she arrives at Idlewood, she experiences some weird deja vu and pieces of memories start to come back. Why is this place familiar? And why do the members of the Dalton family seem to be holding dark secrets? Who can she trust in this remote snowy place?
I loved every word of this story! It has a complex plot and I did not know who to trust. I will read anything this author writes and can’t wait for her next book!

I knew, after a couple of pages, that I was about to read something really special. Pulitzer Prize worthy writing and storyline, and characters that leapt off the page and right into my heart.
This book will live rent free in my soul.
I thought about this book when I wasn’t reading it. I dreamed about these characters. I read six other books while reading this so this story would last longer in my head. I never wanted it to end. I wasn’t ready when it did end. I wanted more!
This novel encapsulates what it means to be human, on a visceral level, and that’s it. Everyone can relate to this story. We may not all be reaching for Olympic gold, but we all, at one time, have reached for the stars! Layne Fargo has richly captured everything we experience and evokes every single human emotion.
This is a saga about Katarina Shaw and Heath Rocha, spanning from the time they are 16 year old dreamers to 40 year old retired professional ice dancers. But it is So. Much. More! It is about all the ‘in between� years. We joyfully and agonizingly journey through the jungles of life where we watch them grow up. We grieve when they fall on their faces, when they experience the failures and betrayals. We celebrate over the wins and root for them when they overcome.
This book is EVERYTHING, and nothing will ever compare. I can’t wait to own a hard copy and read it again. It is so very, very good!

I have read a few “reality show� type thrillers this year and this one is my favorite. In fact the others were enough of a letdown that I spent the first few chapters kicking and screaming that I was going to be disappointed again. But, before I knew it, I was sailing away to Indonesia and watching as these contestants struggled to survive on a beautiful tropical island. Ruth Ware’s books are all so different, I can’t wait to read what she comes up with next!...more

And to complicate things even further, Stella’s ghosts from the past come back to haunt her, demanding she find the answers she has avoided her whole life. This was a great story!

Weird because I don’t even listen to podcasts! And before those people who hate podcasts in their stories write this one off, the podcast is NOT the main event. Lucy is lured back home for her quirky grandmother’s birthday. She hasn’t been back for 5 long years and returning means facing all the ghosts from her past; a failed marriage, a dead best friend, and a whole town who believes she killed her best friend. The reason Lucy isn’t currently doing hard time for this murder is because she was injured in whatever scuffle took place and she can’t remember a single thing from that horrible night. Enter Ben the podcast guy; he’s going to do what even the cops or therapists couldn’t do and solve that murder once and for all! This story is not perfect but it is FUN!

I can always count on Carola Lovering to sweep me away to a captivating and compelling place where I can escape the world for a time. I wouldn’t call this a thriller necessarily since nothing was really a shock, but I was never bored as I was drawn into the world of Billie and Cassie, two childhood friends, now navigating their adult lives. This story is about so many things; friendship, coming of age, starting a career after college, trying to find someone to marry, having children, social media and the world of influencers. It’s also about obsession, jealousy and finding peace. Well done Ms. Lovering, can’t wait for your next book!
