This is a crazy science concept that may or may not be too far off. But is it ethical? 
Claire wanted so desperately to have another (this time healthy) child after her son's death that she really didn't think about the consequences or ethics of what she asked Dr. Rob to do. She barely knew him or Jillian, his postdoc! Myself, I didn't agree with this methid to get a healthy child. I would have just tried again the natural way and see what happened. I did admire Rob though (except for the skipping the trial and having an arrest water) 
I figured a few things out along the way, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book. I'm surprised it took so long for Jillian to find them.... All because of Abby and her school project. A good thriller and very satisfying ending I thought!

I kept hearing how creepy this book was and I didn't get that at all, but I also don't get scared. I still enjoyed the story as more of a police procedural though. Jake may have seemed like a weird little boy that talked to himself/imaginary friend but it was actually very sweet-the rain that he was that way. Tom is a good dad just trying to get through raising a son on his own. Pete is a very good cop that takes his job seriously and can't forget the one case he still needs to solve. It turned out as a surprise to me as to who he actually was.

Wow! Every character in this is psychotic but I still felt that I couldn't pull my eyes away! I don't know what to say any more than that because I want people to experience it for themselves. All I do want to say is that, I think, one character for sure knew what they were doing and how this play would play out. Really dark, really good psychological thriller.

This book starts with a bang and just goes rolling along with a fast speed!
A whole bunch of corrupt cops in a small town. The police chief's own daughter wakes up in a nightmare which proceeds to send the chief to the hospital. That leaves JoJo, the daughter, and Laurie, her mother and a 911 dispatcher , to figure out what in the world is going on!
My heart broke for JoJo and her friend Harper... Who is no where to be found. Harper is a girl that has a lot of trauma happen to her and it got worse as the book went on.

This book had me hooked right away. For being a #4 book in the Eddie Flynn series, it stoid well on its own. Great courtroom drama and I loved getting to know quite a bit about our serial killer! I was enthralled with how smart he was and the things he could imitate. I was thrown for a loop near the end of the book.... Great ending full of surprise.

Georgie and Travis' relationship was total fire! I loved these two. They both just really needed someone in their lives to make them seen and heard and to know they are worth something. Georgie is a little spitfire and I love the first few moments (as meeting again as adults) with Travis especially! She is hilarious and knows she'll take no crap from him. I love that Travis finally makes her family see her worth and I love that Georgie showed Travis that he doesn't have to be his dad- that he's a good person.

3.5

The Chain is a crazy, creepy concept. At times I felt like something like this would never even happen and other times I felt that there is such evil in this world that it's plausible.
Once we start getting the backstory of The Chain, I felt disturbed by the (sorry... pun) chain of events that led to this chain thing becoming real. I felt that some of the middle parts of the book dragged on and that made me not read this as fast as I might other thrillers.

I liked this second book by T.M. Logan. This is very much a nod to the #metoo movement in recent news. It even mentions big players in the entertainment industry caught in it. Hawthorne is a major pig! It's unreal how much he got away with see all the people that turned away from it all. Poor Sarah. She's just trying to do the best for her kids and she has such a horrible boss. I can't believe her friend Marie and what she did behind Sarah's back. I was slightly disappointed in the end. But the book was written well and I did get through it easily.

Prepare to fall in love with Colin and Molly!
I enjoyed hearing all about the cases that were in this book. Molly, a sweet little rescue dog, is so amazing. Colin, dubbed the "pet detective" affectionately and not so affectionately sometimes, is a wonderful human being. He has a pure love of all animals but especially has a big place in his heart for rescues. Things don't always turn out well, there are multiple times where a cat just isn't found and a small brush with death for Molly, but Molly is a very highly successful finder of lost pets.
I love that most people that they encounter while trying to locate these cats and such are such nice people! Restores your faith in humanity a bit.

What an amazing debut!
Devon is dealing with a lot. A new baby and post-partum depression, a death of a friend- Belina with another friend-Alec accused of her murder and hearing voices. But she still has the know how from her life before motherhood and decides to investigate.
I liked trying to figure out the mystery of Belina's death, but more than that I enjoyed getting to know the real Devon and what's she's dealt with in her life. As we learn more about Devon and why she is hearing the voices, you really start to feel so bad for her.
I didn't expect the end to make me cry but it did. You find out something big that is just heartbreaking!
