Wow. There are lots of triggers in this story, if you need to know. One of Our Own was suspenseful. I can’t imagine trying to help a young girl who is so distraught she wants to kill herself. Especially when you have lost a sister to suicide. Felicia could really relate to the girl and […]
I saw this one and couldn’t resist listening to it myself. The setting is one I like and the narration would match that location. The Search Party had a bit of the old friends go away and they start losing people. It wasn’t quite like that though. The timeline is a bit of back and […]
I was excited to listen to this shorter story which I thought was about a crime podcast. #CrimeTime is the tag of the crime podcast created by Nadiya’s half brother, Chase. Nadiya is a successful mystery writer and has been estranged from her father, who went to prison for his crimes. She has refused to […]
Trigger warning: Suicide I grabbed this book after realizing that there were more Holly Gibney books after reading Holly (book 3). After reading this, I’m not sure I would call it a Holly Gibney book, but it does have her as a character in the second half of the story. The Outsider follows a small […]
I’m Glad My Mom Died is not a book I’d typically pick up. I normally avoid anything with legitimate dysfunction. At the recommendation of my sister, I gave it a try. I’m Glad My Mom Died is an emotionally evocative memoir by Jenette McCurdy, a child actor who rose to fame as a primary cast […]
I completely missed that there was a Holly Gibney series. She worked with Bill Hodges in the series of the same name. I read that series a long time ago, and loved Holly. She’s a very quirky and easy to love character. The fact that she had three books out after the Bill Hodges series […]
I have come to appreciate this author’s work greatly. He has a long running series which is a police / investigator procedural that seems current time. His independent books like this one seem more a look at historical times and attitudes. The setting is a rural community of Jewel, Minnesota in Blue Earth county, starting […]
I have just started to listen to this author. None of This is True is definitely a psychological thriller. That means it is just all about messing with your head. The main characters, as well as the main two points of view, are two women who are birthday twins. They meet when they are out […]
What a great follow up to The Unhoneymooners! We get a novella which is audio only right now. As a recap, in the first book Ami was marrying Dean. She was enjoying planning the wedding and getting everything possible for a deal. Her sister, Olive and Dean’s brother, Ethan, weren’t well acquainted until they ended […]
For this author, I don’t even read the blurb; I just auto read her books. That said, Zero Days was in line with my interests with security, tech, IT and modern computer jobs. There was suspense and a mystery to solve throughout with a deep worry for Jack. Jack and her husband, Gabe are testers […]
