#30 of 2025! D.D. Warren No. 7!
Started: 9/7/25

I liked the idea of this offshoot series featuring Tessa Leoni, from one of the previous DD Warren books, but I wish she were featured more heavily. Overall I struggled to connect with the kidnapped characters for some reason. Well constructed and tense as per usual, but I suspected the ending early on and (without being able to say too much without spoilers) the twist, while crazy, kind of irked me when I was right. 3.5��

Lisa Gardner is one of my go to thriller authors. Even if I have a good guess at what‘s happening the characters and story are so good and compelling that I keep going and am super engaged. I put two other reads aside this weekend to finish this because I NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

A fun, fast moving novel with a few fun twists. Who was behind the kidnapping of the wealthy contractor & his family & why?

Another great read from Gardner. I am up to date on her books ���

Reading instead of cleaning... what is your first book of the year?

I can't even begin to explain how much I loved this book. I was hooked from page one. It has everything a thriller could have and more. Kiddnapping. Addiction. Infidelity. Pregnancy. Betrayal. Hope. A budding flame. And more betrayal. I gasped. I cried. I had hope, and then my hope died.

This afternoons agenda: patiently wait for my dinner that's filling the house with a delicious aroma(lemon pepper chicken in the slow cooker) while lightly munching on chips & salsa. And of course, getting some much needed reading time in before my Cowboys game.

What is your plan for this afternoon & evening?

Now on to the next book... a nice little mental get away before I clock in for my second job. #readingbeforwork

A family becomes kidnapped. A rich family, will the kidnappers get the money the family said they could have in time before getting killed? Another great thriller by one of my favorite Authors Lisa Gardner.

The Beverly Library was having a huge book sale so the husband and I took the kids. They got a few books, he got a book or two and I got these. We filled up a bag for only $3.00! We plan on going next time on the first day to see what treasures we can find! #bookhaul

Beginning book #19 of the year! Lisa Gardner is always a win.

I'm addicted to Lisa Gardner's stories. I love the way she weaves on sub plots. You know the query has done a really good job when you are grateful for the boys two of course the b bad guys.

Went to Barnes & Noble b/c I had a 15% off coupon for ONE book. Ended up talking to an employee there and then this happened. So much for my book buying ban. 🤦�♀�
