⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Emily adores the new man in her life, Adam. Their courtship is fast and everything seems too good to be true. Until Emily meets another woman in Adam’s life who makes it clear that Emily has no welcome place in the family. As Emily plans a wedding, buys a home with her fiancé and tries her hardest to push the doubts away, her suspicions grow and soon she’s faced with devastating truths as nothing she has worked for is turning out as she hoped. As she puts more and more trust into Adam, little does she know, the closer to danger she gets.

I listened to most of this book on Audible, which was great because it’s very fast-paced. It was quick-witted and intriguing; not too “over the top” as far as violent thrillers go. I liked it because it was a good mix of a mystery/suspense with some romance mixed in. Not scary but lots of “what the hell?” moment that kept me guessing!

Do you think it sounds like something you’d like to read?

Book Review: The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware

Ruth Ware always delivers when it comes to interesting and layered characters. The Turn of the Key is a thrilling account of Rowan Caine's experience as a live-in nanny in a luxurious smart home unlike anything she has ever seen. This mystery is the epitome of the saying "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" because even though moving into the home of the Elincourts is an upgrade from her tiny apartment and dead-end job, it comes at a steep price. Every chapter, there is something suspicious that kept me wondering if anyone in this suspenseful book was telling the truth. Which, is obvious in the first page because Rowan is writing a letter to a lawyer, from jail, because she's being held for murder. Who is Rowan? Did she come into the Elincourt's lives for a reason? She should have known something was wrong on the day she interviewed, when one of the children warned her to never come back. With a house full of surveillance cameras and parents who ar

Book Review: The Reckless Oath Me Made by Bryn Greenwood

When a young woman is facing an unsteady future, layered on top of a very troubled past, the last thing she has time for is the strange young man who speaks in Middle English and is always following her around. Zee ignores him just fine until her sister goes missing and everything in her life is uncertain and she has no choice but to trust Gentry Frank. "Zee may not be a princess, but Gentry is an actual knight, complete with sword, armor and a code of honor. Two years ago the voices he hears in his head called him to be Zee's champion. Both shy and autistic, he's barely spoken to her since, but has kept watch, ready to come to her aid." The layers of this book are peeled away one by one, making it a deeply emotional and transient novel. Zee's character is complicated- she is sharp, deeply scarred but unabashedly brazen and brave. What I loved about her most was how trusted her gut even when she didn't have solid ground to stand on. Her mother is a hoard
