I absolutely ate this up!
This book introduces Fate who happens to be deaths brother. They had a huge falling out about a century ago over Life (fates wife) and now fate, finding out that Death has a girlfriend and is happy wants to destroy him (emotionally Atleast).
A whole lot more happens throughout the book and it such a fun ride even though I had guessed the big twist at the end but I wasn’t mad about it at all because the ending was still so satisfying!!
I loved this more than the first book which I also really enjoyed and highly recommend!

I don’t think I have had such a tough time rating any book ever! I keep changing my mind from 5 stars to 4.5 stars. Even now I’m not sure.
I have not ever read anything like this. It has so many books within the book that I wonder how the author kept track of them.
It’s a must read if you want to explore a whole new world of prose!

Did I hate it? No but did I like it? Also No. do I regret reading it? Also No.
It starts off strong but then it drags on and on for way too long. Carly and Scarlett have to be the most conflicted characters ever written but not in a great way. I really wanted to care for them but I just couldn’t.
The writing is decent so it isn’t painful to get through.
Overall not for me.

Oh my goodness what an absolutely insane ride! This book is so messed up in the best way! The main character is the epitome of unreliable narrator with a huge helping of psychosis!
Go in to this book fully aware of the fact that this is a messed up story written to perfection.

Actual rating is 3.5 ⭐️
This was a fun read. The FMC is super complex and strong in a unique way. This is a domestic thriller so it did follow the usual domestic thriller tropes of how every character is imbued in suspicion for various reasons. The police is like a dog with a bone and will focus on the spouse of the missing person the most no matter what the evidence suggests.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not listing any of these tropes as a bad thing. I enjoy all of them. The only downside to tropes is that there is no ‘shock value’ added to the narrative.
I kept waiting for the book to blow me away but there was no point when I felt

I found The Jigsaw Man to be a solid read, though it didn’t quite capture my full enthusiasm. The writing style reminded me of the likes of John Grisham and Jeffrey Archer—fast-paced, with twists and turns that kept me engaged. The plot was gripping enough to hold my attention, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression.
One aspect that fell a bit short for me was the main protagonist. While their journey was interesting, I didn’t find myself rooting for them, which made it harder to fully invest in the story. That said, the book had its moments and was certainly entertaining, but it lacked that special spark to elevate it to a truly memorable read.
Overall, The Jigsaw Man is worth picking up if you enjoy thrillers in the vein of legal or suspense dramas, but it might not leave a lasting mark.

Megan Miranda’s Daughter of Mine delivers an intriguing mystery with an atmospheric setting that pulled me in right from the start. The drought affecting the town is a brilliant touch—it creates a palpable tension that mirrors the dry, cracking secrets the characters try to keep hidden.
While I appreciated several clever twists, there were moments where the pacing felt uneven. At times, I found myself wishing for a clearer direction as new mysteries kept piling on without resolution, making parts of the story feel a bit muddled. However, Miranda skillfully ties everything together in a satisfying and well-constructed ending.
Overall, despite some pacing issues, this was an enjoyable read with strong atmosphere and suspense. Fans of Megan Miranda’s signature style will likely enjoy the layers of secrets and suspense this book offers.
If I had one word to describe this book it would be ‘unhinged’! From the first page to the last this book is dark and gritty and completely unforgettable!
I practically inhaled it within a day of receiving it. When I had to step away from it to return to normal life, I found myself thinking of it and wanting to go back to finish it.
The characters in this book are all so delightfully grey and completely unaware of it. The moral compasses of these people is something I’m gonna think about for a long long time.

This was such an insane and unexpected ride! I enjoyed every minute of it and can’t rave enough about it!
Faiths writing is so so great that you can actually feel yourself in the world that she has created. As the story progresses and the sinister nature of the mirror house seeps out, you will feel like you are actually experiencing it with Winona.
Thankyou NetGalley and Mirror house Press for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review!
