Daylight by David Baldacci is coming out next month. 
I was lucky enough to receive a review copy from the publisher @panmacmillan through @netgalley and I couldn’t be more grateful and happy. 
I loved it so much. There are always things in one’s past that stay hidden forever, but there are resilience and faith that someone knows what truly transpired and how and most of all, why everything had to happen like that.
It’s darker, it touches some topics that can be triggering for certain people but it’s a great thriller series that has its own voice and wants to be heard. 
Twists after twists, the story progresses from a criminal investigation to a personal interest, to discover what happened with her estranged twin sister and who was the real kidnapper. Atlee discovers secrets carefully kept for so many years and finding the truth is not always easy to digest, but I love how strong and human she is portrayed. 
It’s captivating and so striking that I’ve read it in one go. I highly recommend it. 

A beautiful love story with two characters that grow so much on me throughout the book.
Two different worlds collide, two different personalities that are brought one to each other just like a magnet.
It’s beautiful written, very steamy and interesting banter and family drama and relationships. Each one has their own secrets and a past to overcome as well as a future full of opportunity.
I loved it and couldn’t stop reading from the first to the last page.
Highly recommend it for any romance lovers.

Fifty fifty by @sscav is the second story that I’ve read and I must admit that I was even more intrigued by it because I have a sister and there was a time when only me, my sister and my father lived together.
I absolutely love the book. From the first chapter to the last, the author has a gift in making up wonder what’s coming up next and even when you know it, it turns out it’s not that! All these twists and turns, all the lies and hidden truths, everything adds up to a great story that I highly recommend for the thriller lovers.

I was looking forward to this third book in the series and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a fake engagement story?

There are many things I liked about this one, from the characters and the fact they come from different worlds, a more unusual job for our heroine, chemistry and great banter and Italy, one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

While hyped up about everything, many parts of the story just felt flat or not exactly what I was expecting. I mean, rich family, Inheritance and many hidden secrets, all the drama and danger that comes with it, everything altogether, unfortunately, didn’t add up for my expectations, it just felt like a very steamy and tame love story.

I recommend it for romance lovers of nice and quick reads.

One of my favourite authors and one of my favourite books by her now.
I promise you is such a great love story with two beautiful characters that are at the beginning of their adult life and have to overcome so much from their past and future. But there’s always hope and good decisions taken.
Love it and can’t recommend it enough.

This book is very different from the previous one I loved it much more.
Yes, it’s darker and everything you can expect from a dark romance but it’s more interesting and beautiful written. The characters are stronger and more opinionated and the chemistry and banter will make you flipping the pages fast and faster.
Another great love story from the author.

There are so many great thrillers lately that I’ve been reading but most of them seem to be the same in plot and how everything evolves.
I’m so glad that First Date is an exception of the rule because while being very reliable has also touches topics that many can feel uncomfortable or find them triggering.
I couldn’t get close to any of the characters really because our heroine seems to be to willing to be with someone even if he’s not exactly what he pretends to be. But I kept reading and while I had to roll my eyes at their antics, I was waiting for the last twist to show up and it did in big time.
It involves cheating but you’ll have to read it as not everything is what it seems.
Great writing and a must read book.

I’m literally speechless because I finished this book earlier today and I can’t stop thinking about it. And I’ve got a feeling that this will keep on for a long time.
If you follow me you know how much I love to read thrillers and if you add a romance side story in it I’m just in heaven.
This book is just so brilliant and amazing and all the words you want to say because it’s so well done, great characters development and so many layers upon layers, so many secrets and mystery and heck,I had goosebumps almost all time and couldn’t stop reading. I was like hiding my face but kept an eye open

Dead Perfect is my first book by the author and although it’s the third in the series, I don’t think I’ve missed much because the author has made a good job in the character development throughout this book and we can easily see what kind of person is our main heroine, DC Maggie Jamieson.

A smart and quirky detective, very determined to catch the killer’s and also very sympathetic friend, especially with her long-time partner in crime, Kate.

The book starts off slow for me but it picks up quick and it’s interesting to see how such a gruesome incident is becoming more than her job to put an end but it gets personal as her past and present are challenged and there are moments when she doubts herself .

There are many twists, some predictable, some a bit unrealistically for me and some unexpected moments that kept me guessing and wanting to know more and see how everything will unfold.

Because of the way the crimes were committed, my mind was immediately transported to an older CIS episode that I remember so vividly after over ten years since I’ve seen it first because it felt creepy and to read something similar gave me goosebumps.

Overall, it’s a good mystery and crime story that many people will enjoy.

After seeing it all over the places and highly recommended, I thought I’ll give it a try and I must admit that for me it really deserved its praises.
An incredible incident brings people from all backgrounds together and we get a glimpse into each one of their life, very reliable characters and quite on point thoughts at any given time.
I laughed so much, I felt so many emotions and empathy towards each one of them and honestly, I would love to see this book made into a movie because it’s worth it.
