This is the first book in a new series and my first by the author and I have to say, I was pretty impressed! I’m always on the lookout for romantic suspense and this definitely had some high stakes and great moments of action. It also had plenty of swoony and sexy romance with a couple I was rooting for. Robert Hatchet and Laura Horowitz both gave fantastic emotional performances that fit the characters so well. I’m really looking forward to the second book. 

I loved the sound of this, a vigilante serial killer with plenty of female rage sounded too good to pass up for me. Cordelia was a fascinating character, sometimes you can understand why she is the way that she is and others you’re like ok this bitch is just unhinged but I thought that was fun. This is darkly comedic, Cordelia is acerbic and sharp but when she’s around her best friend Diane and Diane’s daughter there is a softer side to her. While I felt this was a little long and rambling at times the suspense was solid and the tension kept amping up as the book went along. The ending was a bit anticlimactic and there were some loose ends but overall I had fun with this one and think it will be popular once it’s released. 

This one was super cute and even though I wasn’t a theater kid, I enjoyed all the behind the scenes action here. Noah was a bit hard to like but I did eventually enjoy his sarcasm and wit and Luke was pretty dreamy, so that helped. I always forget how great Michael Crouch is until I listen to his narration again, he’s just fabulous and so engaging. 

As the titles says this is a follow up to The Plot and you should definitely read that one first. It was fun being back with Anna and learning more about her and this answered some questions I had after the first book ended. If you like books about books and publishing this was pretty fun and Julia Whelan narrates so it’s a no brainer, she’s 👑

Give me all the holiday romance, yes even in September, I’m always a sucker for a Hallmark style read and this one delivered exactly that vibe. I loved the Cape Cod setting which was primarily at an inn and I really enjoyed the cast of characters. Riley and her mom interact with a sweet group of characters who are staying at the inn and I liked them all but Franny the most, she was such a sweet woman. There were lots of food descriptions, I feel like people either love or hate that and I enjoy it so heads up there but overall this was a delightful little holiday romance that was fantastic on audio and provided me with such a sweet escape. The narrator is a longtime favorite for me and she was so engaging and entertaining.
