Thanks to Minotaur Books for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 3rd in a series but I haven't read the first 2.

Set in historical New York in 1913, we follow lady's maid, Jane Prescott. She lives with her uncle who runs a refuge for women. A young lady staying there is killed and her uncle brought under suspicion. Jane sets out to prove his innocence.

I didn't feel I needed to read the first two to get a grip of who Jane is. It reads well as a standalone. As to the book, it was good but maybe drug a little in the middle and I found myself skipping some paragraphs of descriptions. My favorites parts included a man, Leo, who sets out to court Jane.

A story of when someone is stalked on the internet. Audrey is a social media influencer that just got a job in DC. She moved from New York-the same city as a college friend and her stalker. While Cat asks Audrey to stay at her place, Audrey gets an apartment withouy looking into it first. There are many men that come into Audrey's life (some new, some not seen for years) and my suspicions of who might be her stalker changed a bit. There is one scene in the novel when I went "that HAS to be who the stalker is" and it turned it to be right. The ending was what brought my rating from a 4 to a 3.... If one tragedy had happened, I would have had this at 4 stars but the ending just didn't quite make sense.

Emmie Blue, at age 16, releases a balloon with a note, her secret and her email.
An ocean away, Lucas finds the balloon/note.
14 years of being best friends and feeling like she belongs in Lucas's and his half brother, Elliot's family; Emmie is sure Lucas is going to propose and she knows she'll say yes... After all, she's secretly in love with him and he just has to be with her.

Fate has other plans for Emmie. She has to watch her friend marry someone else. Now all Emmie has planned and hoped for is taken away and she has to navigate a new future.

This story was so cute, warm and uplifting. It was also very sad as to how Emmie's life took a turn at 16 for her to release that balloon. I loved the way it all turns out in the end, how it should have been all along.

Eliot is a rock and wonderful human being. I'm glad he could be there for Emmie when Lucas couldn't. I wish her mom had been a better part of her life.

Sienna comes back home 10 years after she discovered a murdered girl at her college campus. A girl that very well could have been mistaken for Sienna! Her Mom suffers from delusions, certain everyone is out to get her and her family.
Sienna has always worried she might be like her mother and being home with these memories being drudged up, it might seem that way.
Could the killer be ready to get Sienna when he didn't kill her all those years ago?

Though I guessed who the killer had been pretty quickly, I was still intrigued by the thought that I might be wrong. This was so compulsively readable, I read over 200 pages in a day. I'm usually lucky to get 100 a day.

I love T.M.'s way of totally drawing you into the story with so many twists and turns. You never know what to expect.

4 best friends and their families go on vacation together. There will be many lies, secrets, and a suspected affair. The adults aren't the only one with secrets. The teenagers have their own but this isn't brought into the story until later in the book.

None of the friends husband's were likeable to me. They should have been better men and stood up for themselves.

Totally readable and great for fans of Logan's previous books.

Wilde was found in the woods as a young boy. Now it's 30 years later and he's helping his friend, criminal attorney Hester, find some missing teens. What I love about this is that it's only the surface of a bigger problem.

Now I just love Hester. She is a whip smart woman who doesn't take no for an answer. She genuinely cares about her clients and her family.

Wilde knows how to be invisible but he's really good at his investigations. He is still a mystery all these years later with not knowing why he was left in the woods. But he got really good skills having to survive in the woods by himself.

This book was so good and I loved the tiny glimpses we got of Hester helping out Simon from Run Away.

This book was really fun and enjoyable (as much as a story surrounding a murder can be).

We get story, interviews, and a capstone project from Pippa. She decided she wanted to solve the murder of Andie Bell from 5 years ago.
She never believed Sal Singh, the accused who seemingly killed himself, was responsible. He was always so nice to her.

I really liked Pippa. She's so determined and really a good little detective. She did some things that even I wouldn't have dared do.

The ending was a little crazy and the murderer turned out to be someone I never suspected! I'm excited for the next books!

April is great and she is an everyday Mom. I've been in her shoes... Being a full time mom is hard!
This book was so funny. I laughed many times at the absurdity of her life but felt in many ways like she did. As a mom, you are always on the go and it's usually for the little people... Not yourself.
I really liked that she found a friend in her therapist, June, and that she was able to help June out.

Also-small side with Snoop Dogg in here.

This character driven novel centers on Angel, a very promising young woman on a Philadelphia swim team. But the story is told through the eyes of her younger sister Jeannine and best friend/teammate Alex.

Angel is the main care taker for her family... Her mom, Pic, is always turning to drugs/drinking and is not a good adult for her kids to have in their lives. Their stepdad (dad to one of the younger girls) is not much better. Angel is working toward a better future for herself.
Then one day, Angel disappears.

This was a very sad book. These kids have to live in a rough neighborhood and tough town. They needed better adults in their lives.

Thanks to Booksparks and She Writes Press for the free book.

I love Katherine's books and her writing!

Sam is our MC, who loses her beloved by all boss, elementary school principal at their Galveston school. His replacement is none other than Duncan who Sam worked with at another school. But the Duncan that appears take the guy she remembers.... This Duncan is too serious! Though as we find out why he seemed to have changed from the fun loving guy Sam knew, it's very understandable!

I loved all (save one) characters! I love that the theme of this book is to choose joy, even in hard circumstances. I empathized with Sam and her struggle as I have seen a little bit of what she goes through with my daughter. Clay is such a special little kid and what he does near the end of the book is such an inspiring moment!

I am a huge fan of Katherine's, definitely an auto buy author for me!
