This is book 2 in a series. I love the premise of Olivia be the daughter and survivor of a serial killer. Book 2 has Olivia aiding in an investigation once again and meeting new colleagues. Without giving too much away this was a new dimension for me regarding serial killer dynamics in method so not for the faint of heart be warned. I enjoy this writer and will continue to read this series I highly recommend him though the blood was a little much for me. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!! ]]> Review7428915051 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 16:16:28 -0700 <![CDATA[Carolyn added 'UnWorld']]> /review/show/7428915051 UnWorld by Jayson Greene Carolyn gave 4 stars to UnWorld (Hardcover) by Jayson Greene
loved the premise of this book- an upload of yourself in your consciousness. This is not an idea I’ve come across yet in the sci-fi genre but that could just be me. How successful was the author in getting his idea across?
The story is split between 4 different groups: Sam’s family whom we don’t spend much time with, Anna and husband Rick, Alex’s parents, Catherine, Alex and Aviva- Anna’s “upload, with Sam.

The main point of the story is Alex’s death and the effects of his death on all of the remaining characters, including Aviva, Anna’s upload.
The upload idea is unique to me and was well defined! Thank you NetGalley for this ARC! ]]> GiveawayRequest691100144 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:25:14 -0700 <![CDATA[<a href="/user/show/465806-carolyn">Carolyn</a> entered a giveaway]]> /giveaway/show/409204-she-didn-t-see-it-coming She Didn't See It Coming by Shari Lapena

This is my 2nd Starling book thanks to NetGalley ARC thank you!! True to form this is genre bending here are words that fought for space in my head while listening to: suffocating, anxiety inducing, claustrophobic, psychologically disturbing. Is Meg mentally unbalanced and imagining everything or is she being held against her will? I’m not sure if we ever know. Starling is masterful at her craft and this book needs handles to gang on to! ]]> ReadStatus9124050293 Thu, 27 Feb 2025 06:43:18 -0800 <![CDATA[Carolyn is currently reading 'Before I Met You']]> /review/show/7359600193 Before I Met You by Lisa Jewell Carolyn is currently reading Before I Met You by Lisa Jewell
