I really like the authors brand of suspense, it’s super fast paced, there are always lots of secrets and the reveals are smart and shocking. Based on the synopsis you may think you’ve read similar books to this before but trust me, you haven’t. This one has a unique spin and nothing is as it seems, lots of betrayals and long buried secrets that I didn’t begin to guess. I love a domestic thriller where the characters are all awful and you can’t trust any of them and this delivered on that from as well. If you like revenge plots, dark and twisty stories and super fast pacing this was such an entertaining read! 

If you like your rom coms with a side of adventure this was so much fun! I instantly liked Emily and could relate to her aversion to the great outdoors and desire to stay home where it’s cozy and safe. Ryder was a charming goofball with a heart of gold and they balanced each other very well. The grief they were both working through made their bond so special and both narrators captured the emotions beautifully!


I just adore the authors books and up until now my favorite seasonal read from her was The Christmas Sisters but this may take the top spot for me now. It was SO good, it has a mix of romance, family drama, holiday festivities and second chances and I adored every single page. Parts were emotional and somewhat heavy but it was balanced by holiday activities and Christmas charm. It didn’t hurt that there were cute kids and animals too, definitely some levity for some of the heavier issues. There are bits set in London but the majority takes place in a quaint and charming village, a perfect wintery setting. I’ve been reading a ton of seasonal romances and this was one of the best I’ve read this year! 



This is the type of book with a pretty outrageous premise and you’ll have to be able to suspense your disbelief to enjoy it, but I liked the premise and I mostly enjoyed it! Peyton is a frustrating character, he makes terrible decisions and I was pretty annoyed by him for most of the book. Many people are describing this one as fast paced but I found it be on the slower side, yes the chapters are short and there are pacey moments but there are also plenty of slower sections making this one more steadily paced for me. Parts seemed almost repetitive and it definitely could’ve been a little shorter for me. Do I recommend this? Sure, to the right reader. You’ll like this if you don’t need a likable or reliable MC and if you like stories that go a little out there. ​


This is the second book in a romantic suspense series that I’m really liking and you could definitely read it as a standalone. Kirilee and Sawyer have a connection from the moment they meet but she’s engaged so they start off as friends. The author did an amazing job at developing a strong friendship which made such a solid foundation for a romantic relationship later on down the road. I adored the way they behaved with each other, so much thoughtfulness and care and I really believed in their union. The same narrators, Laura Horowitz and Robert Hatchet are back again and these two are such a great pair! If you like romantic suspense, emotional journeys, forbidden and friends to lovers this was great

I am obsessed with this book! From the very first page I was absolutely enthralled and totally caught up in Zoe’s life. Her voice was so strong, even if she was a little bit frustrating at times and I could feel her emotions throughout the book. The premise was fantastic as well, Zoe wrote a thriller about a stalker and suddenly scenes from the book are happening to her in real life. So creepy and unique. This was unhinged and twisty and very addictive, I did not want to put it down and found myself rushing to get back to it anytime I had a chance. The ending was totally unexpected for me, I never saw it coming and that’s always a great thing when I’m reading a thriller. If you like books about obsession, Hollywood fame, and stalkers this was excellent and I’ll be seeking out the authors previous books asap. 

3.75/5

This one was wild! It’s gaslighting galore and as the reader you have no idea who to believe or what to think and I always enjoy that feeling when I’m reading a psychological thriller. The pacing was pretty fast and I read it in just a couple of sittings because I really wanted to know what would happen next. It’s definitely a huge guessing game with twists and turns, sometimes verging on outlandish but I had a lot of fun with it and some of the twists were really great. Julie is a bit of a frustrating character and hard to sympathize with at times but overall this was engaging and entertaining.
