All The Missing Pieces.

 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sometimes the last thing you expect is exactly what you need, the final missing piece. And sometimes it comes in the form of a towering, broody sheriff, determined to get in your way at every step. 

 
Ridley Sawyer knows what it’s like to miss someone, to feel like a piece of her vanished—because it happened to her the night her twin sister disappeared.
Now, Ridley channels that loss into hope, traveling the country covering cold cases for her true crime podcast. She might not have found justice for her sister but that doesn’t stop her from finding it for others. 

Until Sheriff Colter Brooks gets in her way. 

Colt knows what it’s like to have reporters descend on his town in the wake of a tragedy, and he’s not about to let a fiery podcaster stir up trouble. It doesn’t matter that her haunting blue eyes tell him there’s more to Ridley’s story or that he can’t stop imagining what it would be like to touch her.
But when Ridley’s cold case turns hot and she’s thrust into the crosshairs, Colt has no choice but to step in. Suddenly, Ridley’s living at his house, drinking his whiskey, and stealing his dog’s affections. But she’s also proving that she’s so much more than his first impression. 

And as they get closer to the truth, the game they’ve been playing might just turn deadly…

I loved everything about this breathtaking story: the characters, the town, the suspense, and the pets.
All The Missing Pieces was chosen as the August book in my book club, and I’m so glad it did. When I first came across this book months ago, I was drawn to the cover; it has a mysterious look that makes you want to pick it up right away. Despite being my first book by Catherine Cowles, I had a strong feeling that I was going to enjoy it based on the synopsis; it sounded just like the type of books I love. It exceeded my expectations. All The Missing Pieces surprised me in so many ways, it has been hours since I finished reading it, and I still cannot get out of my head. I recommended it to a few of my friends, but I would like to recommend it to everyone. This is the book that will keep you turning pages for hours. I know that if it weren't for college and packing, I would have finished it the same day I started. It was so beautifully written and full of emotion that I could feel everything. I sensed Ridley's rage, fear, and hope. I felt the same fear as Colt did about Ridley. Just like Colt, I was afraid that one day Ridley would get herself in trouble she couldn’t get out of. 

I adored Ridley. I knew she'd be my favorite character as soon as I started reading the book. I loved her determination and strength. She did not let the tragedy of loss keep her in fear; instead, she used it to help others, which I admire about her. There was part of me that hoped, that helping other that maybe it would help her find her sister. Now Colt, that’s a character, you can’t help but get annoyed at times, but at the same time you can’t help but love him. I did feel that he was a bit overprotective over Ridley sometimes, but I understood his reasons behind it. I loved how the romance and suspense blended without overpowering each other. I loved the romance, but I loved the suspense part of the story even more. The mystery, when it picked up, I was glued to the pages, wanting to see what they would discover, who was responsible. Together with Ridley and Colt, I attempted to solve the mystery. The characters in this book, even the supporting characters, were amazing, and I related to most of them, but particularly to Colt, Ridley, Trey, and Emerson. 

I wish I could keep talking about this book, but I don’t want to give away too much to those who haven’t read it. One of the best romantic suspense that I have read. I’m so glad that I finally got a chance to check this author out. I cannot wait to check her other books out!

Thank you to publisher St.Martin's Press for providing me with E-ARC via  Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

 

 

Was it...
Bitter, all-consuming jealousy?
Pathological sibling rivalry?
Pure insanity?

 
Whatever the cause—and everyone has a theory—it's the Crime of the Decade when glamorous Georgia Cartwright, who was adopted as a newborn, is accused of killing the biological daughter of her wealthy, Southern family.
Georgia is locked in a psychiatric institution where the most violent offenders are held while she awaits trial. The only words she whispers when her estranged twin sister Amanda visits are, “I didn’t do it. You’ve got to get me out of here.” 

Amanda doesn't trust Georgia, but she can't abandon her in a place so eerie and menacing that it seems to exist in another dimension. Is Georgia the victim of a powerful family that's so depraved murder is the least of their crimes? Or is Amanda being led down a path of madness into the web of a master manipulator? 

Nothing is as it seems in Sarah Pekkanen’s The Locked Ward, a shocking psychological thriller about the complex bonds of sisterhood—and what happens when they are stretched to the breaking point. 

 

 🌷

A story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. 

I was captivated by the story from the first page. The way the author begins the book immediately hooks you and makes you wonder what happened to land her in a psychiatric institution. The Locked Ward 's dual perspective structure provides a different feel of the story from each character. I liked how each sister was written from a different point of view, Georgia in second person and Mandy in first person. I've read books in the second person, but I've never read one written in both first and second person. It was such a unique reading experience. Although I enjoyed reading from both Mandy's and Georgia's points of view, I liked Georgia's more because it was written in the second person, which made me feel as though I was experiencing both her mental state and everything she was going through while she was in the institution. The vivid and amazing descriptions made me picture myself there. My thoughts were conflicted about whether Georgia was being honest with Mandy because of her mental health. 

Mandy's perspective on the other end follows her as she searches for the truth and uncovers some secrets along the way. I could tell Mandy was hesitant about Georgia at the beginning, and I couldn't blame her given where Georgia was. I have a feeling that the reason she tried to uncover the truth was because she was curious what happened as much as Georgia was. I found myself trying to figure out what happened along with Mandy. I was concerned that Mandy was putting herself in danger by digging into the past. A few of the story's twists were predictable; at least, I figured them out before they were revealed. The ending was the most unexpected twist, which even I did not see coming. 

I've read Sarah Pekkanen's contemporary fiction, but it was years ago. I'm glad I got the chance to read this one. The story and characters kept me captivated for most of the book. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers. 

Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds.

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4.5★ 

Mia Crawford is responsible to a fault. She has to be. Between her high-demand job and taking care of her grandmother and her cats, she has little time for anything else. What time she does have, she pours into reading. Mysteries, romances, thrillers…books filled with women who are far more impulsive than she would ever dream of being. Now, forced into taking a long-overdue vacation, she finds herself on a luxurious private island where she just might have a chance to reinvent herself—for a little while, anyway. She can explore the island. Flirt shamelessly with a cute bartender. Have a vacation fling. Live like a heroine in one of her favorite novels. 

Or she can curl up with a good book on the beach. Turns out reinventing yourself is easier planned than done. But when gossipy notes written in the margins of an old book turn out to be clues to the disappearance of another guest, Mia finds herself diving headfirst into a dangerous adventure. With everyone at the resort hiding secrets of their own, she’ll have to solve this real-life mystery before she becomes the next target.

I've been hearing about Allison Brennan for some time. I've even got a few of her thrillers on my reading list. I came across Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds while getting a few books from the library. The title and cover were what drew my attention first. The book has a mysterious appearance based solely on its cover. Then I saw the author's name, and since I had wanted to read her for a while, I decided to check it out. I’m so glad that I did. I was captivated by the story and the characters within the first few pages of the book. I couldn’t put the book down; I didn’t want to because I needed to see what was going to happen next. I liked how this story took place on a resort during a vacation, which added a different feeling to the mystery. I loved how the author started the story, adding suspense and hooking the reader from the beginning. 

You can't help but admire Mia for her determination. However, there were times when I feared she was putting herself in danger. I knew someone wouldn't be pleased that she was looking into the past. I like how she teamed up with someone to figure out what happened. Bri and Mia made a great team, and no matter what was going on, the two of them always had each other's back. Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds was a fast-paced story that kept me turning pages and on the edge of my seat. I found myself trying to solve the mystery alongside Mia, and the suspense increased as the story progressed. 

I loved that at the beginning of each chapter there was a quote from a book, and there were even a few from the books that I had read. I enjoy reading books, especially mysteries with book-loving characters. I loved how the clues came from the book. There is so much more I could say about this book, but I don't want to give too much away. I recommend checking out the book to find out!

Murder By Cheesecake(Golden Girls,#1)

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When Dorothy’s obnoxious date is found dead in a hotel freezer, it not only ruins a gorgeous cheesecake but threatens the elaborate St. Olaf–themed wedding Rose is hosting.

 
Things are heating up, and not just because of Blanche’s hot flashes. Rose’s cousin is eloping to Miami, and Rose is playing host. If she can't balance the groom’s family’s snobbery against the traditional St. Olaf wedding week guidelines, her hometown may never accept her cousin again! 

Dorothy quickly realizes she needs a date with whom she can exchange wedding-related wisecracks. Turning to a newfangled VHS dating service, she believes she’s found the ideal conversationalist. Unfortunately, what looks good on TV can actually be a total jerk in real life. It seems she’ll just have to enjoy the company of Sophia, Blanche, and whomever Blanche has targeted for a hookup. 

As the Girls all pitch in, Rose is thrilled that the tea-and-fish-themed kickoff event is perfect, not a herring out of place. That is until Dorothy’s date is found dead—face-planted in an otherwise scrumptious-looking cheesecake. With every guest a suspect (especially Dorothy) and a marriage on the line, the four besties must ID the real killer, get the should-be-happy couple down the aisle, and make sure nobody from St. Olaf gets lost in the wilds of Miami. It’s up to the Golden Girls to sleuth out a way for friendship and love to win the day!

When I heard about this book, I knew I needed to read it. I loved The Golden Girls and watched the entire series with my mom. I was thrilled to learn that there would be a cozy mystery featuring Golden Girls. A part of me was hesitant to read the book because I adored The Golden Girls and wasn't sure if they'd be portrayed in the same way in the books. I'm glad I decided to give it a shot; the author did a fantastic job bringing The Golden Girls back to life, with a mystery in the mix. I think this would be a great spin-off show, if all the cast were still alive. I felt as I was transformed back into my favorite show. I did feel like the beginning was slow and there wasn't much going on, but as the story progressed, so did the pacing, and I had to force myself to put the book down. 

You can't help but love Rose, Dorothy, Sophia, and Blanche. I missed seeing all the girls together, and I found myself laughing at some of their banter that I enjoyed on show. Adding humor to the story made it much more difficult to pull away from it. I found myself turning the pages without realizing how much time had passed. From the moment the body was discovered, I was captivated by the story and wondered about the motive for the murder and who was responsible. I was curious about the title, Murder by Cheesecake. However, it became clear as I read the book. Considering how much the girls loved the cheesecake; it fit the story perfectly. 

I loved how the girls worked together to figure out what happened. They were there for each other, just like in the show, but this time it was to solve the murder. There were several twists that kept you on the edge of your seat. I felt like I was attempting to solve the mystery alongside Rose, Dorothy, Blanche, and Sophia. I also liked how we saw a slightly different side of Rose in this book. There was so much I loved about this book. A part of me wishes the next book was already out; I'm curious what adventures the girls will have next. I recommend this to Golden Girls fans, especially those who enjoy cozy mysteries.

The Crash.

 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 4.5★  

The nightmare she’s running from is nothing compared to where she’s headed.

 
Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn’t realize she’s heading straight into a blizzard. 

She never arrives at her destination. 

Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she’s made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears. 

But something isn’t right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn’t what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet. 

 
And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself—and her unborn child.

Another amazing story by Freida McFadden. Although, it wasn't as surprising as The Tenant, or at least I didn't feel like there were as many twists. However, it kept me on the edge of my seat, especially when I got to Part 2. I couldn't put the book down. A part of me was worried about how the story would end for Tegan. I hoped Tegan would find a way to get out of the situation that she was in, but given that she was pregnant and injured, I knew that it would be difficult. All through the book, I was rooting for Tegan. 

Although the book's pacing was slow at first, the rest of it was fast-paced, and I was so captivated by both the story and the characters that I couldn't stop turning the pages. It’s not surprising why she’s such a popular thriller writer. I loved how Freida set the tone for each chapter and character. I love her descriptions and the way she portrays the characters' emotions, making you feel them. I felt Tegan's fear as well as her anger while reading from her perspective. I adored Tegan; I admired how, despite everything she was going through, she kept trying and fighting. I felt that it changed Tegan in a few ways. 

I like how Freida writes her books from various perspectives; it helps you get to know each character and understand why they did what they did. However, in this book, I did question the characters' decisions several times. The ending was the most unexpected twist, and the few chapters leading up to it were when I couldn't put the book down. Even if you haven’t read any Freida books, I would highly recommend this book for any thriller fans.

The Tenant.

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

 

There’s no place like home… 

Blake Porter is riding high, until he's not. Fired abruptly from his job as a VP of marketing and unable to make the mortgage payments on the new brownstone that he shares with his fiancee, he's desperate to make ends meet. 

Enter Whitney. Beautiful, charming, down-to-earth, and looking for a room to rent. She's exactly what Blake's looking for. Or is she? 

Because something isn't quite right. The neighbors start treating Blake differently. The smell of decay permeates his home, no matter how hard he scrubs. Strange noises jar him awake in the middle of the night. And soon Blake fears someone knows his darkest secrets...
Danger lives right at home, and by the time Blake realizes it, it'll be far too late. The trap is already set.

 

 🌷

 
Wow! 

There are no words, at least right now; I'm still trying to comprehend what I read. The Tenant was one of the most intense and addictive thrillers that I have read. I've heard that Freida McFadden is known for the most unexpected twists. I read The Co-Worker earlier this year, but this one had a lot more unexpected twist. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen next, the twist had me on the edge of my seat, completely shocked. There wasn't a single page in this book that didn't keep me turning the pages, mostly because I knew things were going to get worse. Part of me was afraid that it wouldn’t end well for Blake. It was clear that something was setting him up. Of course, I couldn't help but wonder why they did it. It made me wonder if Blake was hiding anything. 

It was fascinating to read from Blake's point of view, and the descriptions were so vivid that I could imagine it happening to me. I was suspicious of Whitney from the start; there was something about her that I couldn't quite figure out. But the way she looked at Blake and the sneaky smile she gave him made me wonder if she was behind everything that was going on. I was always curious about what she was up to; I was as suspicious of her as Blake was. This book had so much going on at one point that I began to wonder when it would end. That's one of the things I enjoyed about it: it keeps you on the edge of your seat. 

The Tenant, my second book by Freida McFadden, is my favorite so far. Overall, it's one of the best thrillers I've read in a while. I understand why so many people rave about Freida. I’m even more excited to check out her other books now. I would highly recommend this to thriller fans. Be prepare for a wild ride!

Poison Sun(Star Touched:Vampire Bride,#2)

 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After a shocking betrayal, Amber Benson was forced to do the unthinkable: drink a potion that will bring shadow souls—the dark forces trying to take over the city—straight to her.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the potion is eating away her sun magic. Poisoning her. Weakening her with each passing day. 

Then, there’s Damien. The vampire king who abducted Amber and tricked her into living in his palace in a twisted attempt to make her his bride.
He’s furious with her for drinking the potion. 

Unfortunately, they’re going to have to figure out how to work together. Because after the downtown vampires kill humans on Damien’s territory, it means war between the clans. And Amber might be the tool they need to stop the downtown vampires from going totally feral. 

On top of all this? The potion’s doing one more thing Amber never expected. It opened a connection between her and the Shadow Lord. He’s appearing in her dreams, and she can’t resist the way he calls to her, mesmerizes her, and toys with her in the one place she should always be safe—her own mind.

A magical journey you won’t forget! 

I've been reading Michelle Madow for years and have most of her books on Kindle. I shouldn't be surprised by now, but this book completely took my breath away. I am still trying to process the story. I loved the first book, Vampire Bride, but I loved Poison Sun even more because there was much more action in this book. Every page had me so engrossed in the plot that I lost track of time. After the conclusion to the previous book, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen to Amber next, and how drinking the potion would affect her. I liked the way Madow expressed the characters' feelings; it made me experience them. I hoped Morgan could find a way to help her. 

One of my favorite aspects of Michelle Madow's books is the magical world she creates. She does it so wonderfully that it's obvious how much effort and commitment she puts into her writing. I enjoyed that Poison Sun was written from Amber and Morgan's perspective, and although I love Amber, I loved reading from Morgan's perspective; there is a way that she explains everything that you can't help but get captivated in her story. I’m hoping that the next book in the series will have her perspective as well. I understand that Damien is trying to protect Amber, but sometimes I feel that he is too harsh with her. I feel that he might push her away if he keeps doing it. 

Even though I sometimes doubt her judgments, I love Amber; she came a long way from the first book. There wasn’t a single page in this book that didn’t keep my attention, I found myself turning the pages, wanting to know what would happen next. I am eager to pick up the next book in series, and see what adventures and challenges await Amber, Damien, Morgan next! I would highly recommend this book to any fantasy fans.

A Resistance Of Witches.

 

 

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

 Thank you to publisher,Penguin Group|Viking for providing me with E-ARC via  Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

 

Stubborn, plain-spoken and from an unimpressive family, Lydia Polk never expected to be accepted into the Royal Academy of Witches. Eight years later, with Hitler’s army rampaging across Europe, the witches of Britain have joined the war effort, and Lydia is key to the she must use her magic to track down magical relics before Hitler—known to be obsessively seeking the artifacts himself—and his sycophants can. Then a Nazi witch infiltrates the Academy with heart-breaking consequences, leaving the coven shaken, exposed and the elder British witches have no interest in further loss of coven life in service of a government that has forced them into hiding for decades, no matter the consequences to the world. But with the discovery of the Grimorium Bellum, an ancient book that leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever it goes—one the Nazi coven is desperate to get their hands on—Lydia’s mission has never been more urgent. 

Alone and woefully outnumbered, Lydia makes her way to the heart of occupied France, where she finds allies in Rebecca Gagne—a fierce French resistance fighter chockful of secrets—and Henry Boudreaux—a handsome Haitian-American art historian with a little magic of his own. Together, they traverse the country, stalked by the natural and supernatural alike, in search of the grimoire. But, as Lydia soon discovers, finding the Grimorium Bellum is only half the the book has a dark agenda of its own. Lydia must subdue it before the witches of the Third Reich can use it—but she’ll have to survive the book herself, first.

What an intriguing and beautifully written debut! 

I had a feeling that I was going to love this, just from reading the synopsis of the book. I love historical fiction and books about witches, so I couldn't help but be captivated by this story. This story blew me away from the first to the last page, and when I got to the end, I wished there had been more. A Resistance of Witches affected me in so many ways; there is so much I can rave about this story. I've been reading books about witches since middle school, and I'd say this was the most unique one I've ever read. I loved the characters, their backgrounds, the action, and, particularly, the magical world created by Morgan Ryan. There wasn't a single page where I wasn't captivated by the story; every page had me wondering what would happen next to Lydia, Rebecca, and Henry, and whether they would all survive. 

A Resistance Of Witches is not a book you will be able to easily put down; I had trouble putting it down because I was so immersed in the story. There was so much going on that you couldn't help but turn the pages, and before you knew it, it was the middle of night. If it weren't for classes, I'd probably spend the whole night reading. I loved the way that author blended magic into the real world. The characters and their development throughout the story were amazing, especially Lydia, Rebecca, and Henry. Each of those characters had such depth, and the way they were written made them seem so real. I could say so much more what I loved about each of them, but I don’t want to give too much away. You will have to read for yourself to find out. 

A Resistance Of Witches is one of the best combinations of historical fiction and fantasy I've read. I loved how she described the book's characters and setting. The relationships in this book, particularly family relationships, were beautifully written. Morgan Ryan is an author to look out for! I’m eager to see what adventures she will take us on next. Highly recommended for fans of historical fantasy.

Maddie and her long-term boyfriend, Tom, dream of a life living and working abroad, though right now they’re settling for a lovely vacation in the sunny European beach town. 

When Maddie is befriended by a lovely-seeming couple, who are living the digital nomad lifestyle, they make her an offer that feels hard to refuse… 

Swap houses, swap lives – just for a couple of weeks - and see if living abroad is a lifestyle that would really suit them. 

But as soon as they’ve handed keys over to their home in London, it becomes clear the couple aren’t who they’d seemed to be. And Maddie and Tom’s dream getaway is about to become a nightmare they could never have imagined…

Wow, what a wild ride! Rona Halsall is a new author for me, so I was unsure what to expect from the story when I picked it up. I never know what to expect when I come across an author I've never read before. The Getaway surprised me in so many ways; I had trouble putting this book down at times. I was hooked from the first page until nearly the end of the book. There were a few pages in between that didn't capture my interest as much, but those didn't last long. One of my favorite aspects of this book was that there was always something happening on almost every page. One more page usually turned into hours because I couldn't seem to find a good stopping point. The best thriller/suspense books are those that keep you on the edge of your seat. 

I had conflicting feelings about some of the characters. I was suspicious of Tom from the moment his secret was revealed. If he kept that secret for so long, what else did he not tell Maddie? I was wary of him and wondered if what he told her was true, or if there was more. I loved the suspense; it was what kept me turning the pages, wanting to know what would happen next. Maddie, I liked her, but I had some conflicting feelings about her, mostly because of some of her decisions. For example, swapping houses with a couple she hardly knew? I knew nothing good would come of that decision. I liked how, despite everything that was going on, she never gave up. 

The cover and title are what drew me to the book. I'm extremely picky when it comes to thriller/suspense novels. I'm glad I had the opportunity to read this book; I enjoyed the pacing of the story and most of the characters. This is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, with quite a few unexpected twists. I'm excited to check out the other books by the author.

Olive has spent years managing Whiskey Jane’s- a local dive bar tucked in the Tennessee mountains, famous for its strong drinks, wild theme nights and walls covered in written memories. It might not technically be her bar, but it’s her home. 

When Jane, the bar’s elderly owner, is no longer able to run it, and her absentee son Tripp decides to show up with a plan to sell it off, Olive knows she must think fast. 

In walks Hunter, a skateboarding filmmaker with a YouTube channel and an eye for a good story. What starts as an awkward first encounter leads to an unexpected partnership as they hatch a plan to work as a pair and save the bar. Together, they uncover decades of love, loss, and unforgettable nights. 

In the process of saving a place full of memories, they might just create their own. 

 

 🌷

There are so many emotions that are going through me right now. This book made me feel every emotion felt by the main characters, Olive and Hunter. I loved both of those characters, even though I didn't always agree with Olive's choices. I adored their connection, and I liked how it took time to develop; it felt realistic. All the characters were realistic, and that was one of the things I admired about this book. There were only a few characters I didn't like, but that was because they were difficult to like; especially Tripp, if it were me, I would have lost patience long ago. I was rooting for Olive and Hunter, hoping that their plan would be enough to save Whiskey Jane's. 

I adored the community, particularly at Whiskey Jane's, and how they looked out for one another. When Hunter and Olive interviewed others, I enjoyed hearing about their experiences with Whiskey Jane's and how it affected them. I fell in love with the bar after listening to their stories. I was rooting from the moment I found out what Tripp intended to do with the bar. I liked how it was told from both Olive's and Hunter's perspectives, giving us a glimpse of each character and forming a connection with both. It was clear that Hunter fell first for Olive. I was rooting for two of them all through the book. 

I adored the friendship between Ivy and Olive. It reminded me of myself and my close friends. The two of them had a true friendship. The character development in this book was outstanding, particularly for Olive. She changed in so many ways from the beginning of the book. I'm so glad I got to read this book. I'm excited to read Ivy's story in 20206. I highly recommend checking this book out!
