Then, Sage try to know why Josef asked her to do that task. This story was a roller coaster of secrets and emotions⬇️

August 2025 Book #1
I enjoyed this book but I don‘t know, maybe I was expecting something different due to the hipped. But it has suspense. I found the story so sad at the end, a tragedy. For me was more a book about mental health and dysfunctional family dynamic. 3.75/3.8⭐️First book read by this author.
pickJuly 2025 Book #3
I read this book out of series order and didn‘t realize would be the author last novel☹️I didn‘t like much this novel. I found it a little bit rushed and forced. Maybe because I read it out of order?🤷🏽♀️Even though I like always the family drama in her novels. So sad that she retired. I loved Paradise trilogy and Winter series was my favorite. 3⭐️

This short, brutal novel hit me harder than I expected. Set in Brazil, in a remote penal colony where prisoners are released only to be hunted, it‘s stark and unsentimental, yet gripping. Maia writes violence without glorifying it. The bleakness is heavy, but the sharp writing kept me fully absorbed. So I am with you, Helen and Sarah!

so-soBook #13 of 2025: “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick
It presents an interesting question: if you could know when you‘d die, would you? And how would you live life differently? I enjoyed the premise and that Erlick didn‘t overlook the inevitable social problems that would come with a new way to discriminate. The writing wasn‘t my favorite. A bit too staccato with a few too many cliches.
pick#13 in the series. These books are so consistently good. The opening scene is the brutal murder of an ex-Amish woman, one that Kate knows from back when she used to be part of the Amish community.
I thought things were wrapping up when the investigation took a wild left turn, which kept me on my toes. I wish Kate didn‘t always put herself in dangerous circumstances-I think her propensity for danger gets a little old. But I do love this series.
