WOW!! What an awesome, action packed mystery!!
Several timelines of different characters to lead up to an outstandingly twisted ending!
I was not able to put this book down, at first I couldn’t keep up with all the characters due to the timelines but it quickly moved on in year 2015.

Mary just lost her job in New York and her brother is in jail for murder. She comess back to Cocoa beach to stay with her father to try to help her brother. She is separated from Joey, but quickly starts to confide in him for comfort while trying to piece together her brother's prison sentence and the ongoing murders of a group of friends who went to her high school decades ago.

There’s a serial killer who’s picking off one by one that her close friends from high school knew. Mary and Joey’s friends join up surfing and supporting one another through the murders when it becomes dangerous for all of them.

Cruise Ship vacation gone a-rye. Mix in conspiracy theory lover, a killer, an affair, kidnapping, and the FBI. Good crime and sick passions of the heart mystery.

The book starts off in the present with Mateo, a thirty something year old Chef at a fancy NYC restaurant. He is mysteriously, having dizzy spells, passing out. As his beautiful doctor tries to figure out what the cause is, the story then jumps back to the late 80’s in Columbia where his grandparents had a bakery. Something scary happens having his family flee to Mexico fearing their lives are in danger.. Great read!

Sarah, a social media influencer and her bartender husband buy a spooky murder house to renovate.

Sarah starts noticing strange things happening. She’s hearing footsteps up in the attic, someone is leaving her notes about things only she would know about. She quickly becomes a psychological disaster. As her pathological fears grow they bring out redundant flashbacks and secrets from her past.

The heart pounding sinister vibes had me spooked and curious to figure out the who, what, how’s going on. I do love some creepy gothic and sinister vibes that this amazing book provides.

Thank you so much Bantam via Netgalley for the ARC!

Thank you so much to book sirens for this free ebook in exchange for my honest review, I loved this book.

It’s so refreshing to get something that's so unexpected and suspenseful.

Ella’s father just died.
She inherits her childhood home.
David is her on and off again boyfriend, which in my opinion they’re more like roommates as they suddenly decide to move into her family home a few months after his passing.
For some like myself, you’ll be a bit annoyed and frustrated with Ella for some of her actions regarding their relationship. Also, some of her emotions and thoughts brought me to tears as I related to them.
This suspenseful drama does have some mystery which unfolds as you would not expect it to.

Alex has always wanted to be a published author, so has Wren, her ex-bestie.
They both received an invitation to attend a month-long writer’s retreat at the home of Alex’s Idol, best selling feminist horror writer, Roza Vallo.

As the attendees arrive, they are told that they will be required to write an entire novel from scratch during the month. The prize is 1 million dollars and Roza will have their book published and they will go on tour together.

The Blackbriar Estate, pouring with secrets from its past. It’s an amazing old gothic mansion that becomes claustrophobic from being secluded during a snowstorm.

For a moment I thought of Narnia, but WOW I was wrong!. It was filled with who done it’s, murder, suspense and a true psychological thriller.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about the final few chapters, because it felt a bit rushed and somewhat unrealistic.

Thank you so much to the publisher, author and Netgalley for this free ARC in exchange for a review. I really did enjoy reading this.
3.5 Stars

This is my 1st read by Willow Rose and I could not put it down.

FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas and her children just moved back to her hometown.
Matt Miller, her old flame, is on the local law enforcement team.

Only days into her move back, Eva Rae nearly hits a Woman running down the street screaming with her child. The story begins, it’s full of mystery, crime, and so much more that you will not be able to put this book down.

It’s a fast paced, action thriller, full of suspense and who dun it’s to make you want to know more!

The characters are very relatable and even loveable. I’ve got to read this entire series. This can be read on its own.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Willow Rose for allowing me to read in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed it immensely.

What a great mystery book!!

Clair Scott is murdered, who did it?
Was it her husband? Was it someone from the Church? A friend?

There’s so many suspects, and answers that go through Detective. Becca Ellis and Detective McAllister. This was so hard to put down that I read it in one day dying to know what was going on and what they would find. I racked my brain and I was still wrong in the end.

If you love a good mystery this will keep you guessing with very little clues.

A great book! Thank you to Net Galley, the Publisher and Robin Mahle for this ARC in exchange for a review, it was amazing

A short sad story about family. It was suspenseful and will be a rude awakening to many.
I didn't expect this ending but it was well worth the read.

Madison inherits her grandfathers home in Alaska. After losing her job, her fiancee and a fall out with her parents Maddie packs up and goes to this small town in Alaska.

She meets a stranger on her way who she asked to kiss her.

This gorgeous novel has all the swoons, and beauty that you could hope for. A quick read that romance lovers will dive into and enjoy every moment of.
