There was alot to this story, the life of Brynhild- or Belle. A true terror, her true number of victims unknown, and I want to know why she isn't talked about more. She basically made her money via murder, and didnt really try to hide much. I was amazed reading, but several times I ended up confused. So many victims stories being told, and facts to help connect all the dots, left me rereading several sections trying to make it all make sense.
I especially enjoyed the endings section where it talks about the different potential theories, and how the author gave her thoughts on what she believed happened.
*Some pictures in the book are pretty gruesome.

This book was okay, but I don't feel there was anything special about it. Felt repetitive with the characters will-they-wont-they actions. I thought it lacked in conflict; once they got together I felt it was mostly Gabby being a brat and them having sex. Pretty predictable.

Woah. This story is heartbreaking. When i started the book the mom was very shifty to me and I had a feeling she'd be behind the identity theft. What I didn't realize was how deep her lies went, I couldn't put the book down once everything started coming to light. A very enjoyable read.

I found this book a bit boring and confusing. Not a fan of the writing style. Its very much 'I'm going to tell you this information but its important so I'm going to repeat it multiple times' to get the point across. The main character also had several moments where she said/thought something without giving any indication to how she got there to begin with.
The most interesting part is her sister is missing, but it goes between the original murder case the book opened with.
I got frustrated feeling like I'm missing something and looked to reviews to give me motivation to finish this book, unfortunately that's not what I found. The main murder case get solved but the sisters case ends on a cliffhanger of sorts (that last multiple books). I'm only interested in what happened with the sister and can't read multiple books in this writing style, to get the one answer I want.

I knew very little when I started this book, and holy sh*t, I wasn't prepared for everything I was about to read. Several times I had to put the book down to give my mind a minute to process.
This book was very informative, and I feel laid out in a good way. It covers alot of heavy topics but in a respectful way. It wasn't extremely graphic, covering what needed to be said while not giving some more horrible details.

This is a cute short Christmas story. It can always put me in a Christmas mood.
It does have a few grammar errors and wrong names used, but it's easy enough to figure out what's being said.

A few good ideas. I don't like how it uses box mixes for ingredients a few times. Several recipes / ingredients don't match

When I started this book I was prepared for something entirely different than what I read. It was okay, I enjoyed it, but its not something I would read more than once. The characters were all pretty bad, whiney and rude. I couldn't really care for some of the characters problems, and i never got the sense that her family actually respected her. Even with my dislike of the characters this book was a easy read,I really enjoyed the writing.
Edited to add - This book is marked as funny, I personally disagree with that label. I didnt find it funny at any point.

I was excited to get a book about Luke. I really liked him in the previous books and he didn't disappoint in this one. Violet was also enjoyable, and I really enjoyed their story. I thought their banter was cute and flowed better than the previous books.
I will say something about this book just felt a little slow, a lot of unnecessary details to build up scenes.

I struggled through this book. I feel like it had lots of unnecessary details, and very repetitive.
The main focus was Kaydens redemption, learning to be loved, and how to love. But it was mostly a repetitive him pushing Callie away and refusing to listen to her, then him being sad because he actually wants her. If it had been explored correctly and not been repeated several times through the book it would've been a better book in my opinion.
