Don't Let Her Stay | Nicola Sanders

Loved, loved, LOVED this book. A super quick read, and a glorious twisty ending. Another good one that keeps you guessing about who the crazy one is; my type of book. If is says 'an unputdownable psychological thriller', then it's for me.

End of Story | A. J. Finn

This was definitely NOT The woman in the window. 😕 I liked the old-time mystery kind of feel, but this one just did not keep me engaged as much as I had hoped.

Nightwatching: A Novel | Tracy Sierra

This book was crazy good! The review on the cover does not lie. It was non-stop suspense, and non-stop 'is she crazy or not'?! The ending may be a touch rushed, but the ending isn't the point to this book at all. Good stuff!

I‘m pumped to say that between last night and this morning - 2 workouts, cooking dinner, and meal prepping - that I‘ve gotten through the most percentage of an audiobook than I ever have before! Am I finally going to be able to do it?! Or is it just because it‘s a Freida McFadden book?!

You'll Never Know I'm Here | Kiersten Modglin

Kiersten Modglin thrillers are always fast reads, but the ending in this one felt extra rushed. I also wanted the happily ever after, but it didn‘t fully come. Still a fun read and a page-turner!

So much head shaking and eye-rolling while reading what those horrific people did to Britney. The cost of fame is just too much. I‘m glad she wrote this. 🩷

This book started off strong for me, and I had high hopes then poof- she lost me. I‘ve come to the conclusion that I‘m just not a fan or her writing. However, still an interesting idea in there somewhere.

Of course I loved this book, as I have been following these murders through and through so far. I needed him to elaborate on a couple of things more, but maybe he couldn‘t yet. Plus, of course, there‘s no trial outcome yet, 😒 but still written in clear investigative detail.

TheQuietQuill I was in shock when I found out that the killer lives 20 minutes from me in a small town PA. Very disturbing altogether, and so sorry for the lives lost. 5mo
guinsgirlreads @TheQuietQuill OMG, I bet! 😳 Such a shame, for sure. 💔 5mo

Not exactly what I expected from Alice Feeney, but still great twists. More emotionally heavy than thriller.

I was bored through most of it one 😒.. IMO most of it hard more of a domestic drama flair, then psych thriller. Interesting ending, but it wasn‘t really put together enough before it for me.

This was a fascinating memoir by a local author about her suicide attempt, drug addictions and recovery. Short and quick read, but her writing is phenomenally expressive.

There were some holes, but this may possibly be Kiersten Modglin‘s best book yet. It‘s definitely her longest, but there isn‘t a boring page in it! It‘s got Murder, twists (tons), turns (tons), and emotions and was amazingly written. Phenomenal read for me!

Another good one for me from Jaime Lynn Hendricks! Yes, it was a little clichéd, and the ending may have been guessable, but I personally think that she‘s underrated. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next one!

Big book club picks constantly make me skeptical about how I‘m going to feel about them.. but I must say this was quite the pick for GMA (adultery, kinks, and all 😂), and i enjoyed it!

At first it seems like just another petty, the neighbors all hate each other, book, but she made it quite fun to read! 4.5 ⭐️

This book was a phenomenal read. It‘s not only about Hadley Freeman‘s own personal battle and hospital stays, but it‘s a detailed and study-backed narrative of while young girls develop anorexia, and what is really is and entails. I learned a lot and I think this is a great read for all women!

I‘ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on this book, and I think the people that DNF is are missing out! It‘s a slowwww burn, yes, but it was totally worth it for me. With her characters, I wasn‘t bored at all, and the ending was fast, but it gets the point across.
