The Switch by Lily Samson

3.5

Thank you to NetGalley, Lily Sampson and Viking Publishing group for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

Well this was a wild and shocking ride. I was reading away thinking this was a bit predictable when the author starts bombarding you with the most shocking twists. I still found it a bit longer than necessary but overall, very well done.

This was good! I really thought I knew what was going to happen and man was I wrong. This was a wild ride that was totally unexpected and fast paced. I really enjoyed it and flew through it.

This was really good! I loved the twists and the characters. The premise was so interesting and I think I could relate to a mom who just wants what’s best for her daughter in this messed up world.

Thank you to Libro.FM for my copy. 

This was the second in a series and I didn’t realize that, but you don’t need to have read the first to jump into the series. It was easy to follow and I really enjoyed detective Prichard! I’ll definitely go back and read the first one after this.

Thank you to NetGalley, Katherine Center and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

This was so what I need to get over my reading slump. It is so adorable and I forgot how much I enjoyed Center’s writing! She really makes me feel all the feels and I adored the premise of this.

Thank you to NetGalley, Stephanie Wrobel and Simon and Schuster Canada for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

I didn’t know a ton about Hitchcock overall, but now I feel like I know a bit more. This felt dark but not quite as murdery as I thought it was going to be. Great idea with a great ending twist but was a bit slowly paced (on purpose for Hitchcock I believe) than I wanted.

I really enjoyed this novel - I love the vacation thrillers for the summer and this was good and twisty. Just paced perfectly to keep you guessing and flipping those pages.

Thank you NetGalley, Hildur Knutsdottir and Tor Publishing group for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

I’m not even sure what I just read. This book is a whopping 208 pages and it’s a super quick and easy read. This was a wild ride through those pages and I was left a little confused in the end.

Thank you to NetGalley, Kaira Rouda and Thomas & Mercer for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

Whoa. I wasn’t super pumped for this after reading the first Kingsley family novel, but it was entertaining and a good palate cleanser. BUT this one - wow! This was epic and I loved every minute. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next novel as this was left off with the mother of all cliff hangers!

Thank you to NetGalley, T.J. Newman and Little, Brown and Company for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

Newman has quickly become an auto buy author. This writes the best thrillers and allow us to feel all the emotions while reading. This was unputdownable and I flew through it. I was obsessed with the characters and the ending has me in tears. So beautiful and page turning.
