⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 ARC Courtesy of NetGalley via Thomas Mercer Publication Date: March 1, 2025 I don’t even know where to begin. Calling it “full of twists & turns” just doesn’t cover it. All the little details, the little things you KNOW are important are standing out like sore thumbs – you’re SCREAMING at Adria toContinue reading ““Gravewater Lake” by A.M Strong & Sonya Sargent”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 🎧Audible Only🎧 “Don’t Hang Up” is an Audible Original, so a short (3ish hours) story. Audible Originals oftentimes have sound effects that make the story feel more real ~ you’re more “transported” into it. A sinister plot to reveal the truth about a radio show host that’s been demoted to the lowest rungContinue reading ““Don’t Hang Up” by Benjamin Stevenson (Audible Original/Short Story)”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 The perfect man. The perfect victim. Sydney Shaw is back in the NYC dating game – and man, is it rough out there. Bad date after bad date after bad date – getting stuck with bill, won’t shut up about their moms, you name it – she’s been on a date with it.Continue reading ““The Boyfriend” by Freida McFadden”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 🛑 Trigger Warnings: mentions of sexual assault on a minor/rape A non-linear timeline, connecting sisters through time and sea. All-in-all, spanning centuries, 1800 through 2019. A wild tale, one that will have you reeling. A story of love, lies, coverups, fear, and abuse. Mary and Eliza, their parents… Jess and Lucy, their parents…Continue reading ““Sirens” by Emilia Hart”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 🛑 Trigger Warnings: Sexual Assault of Minor(s) and Rape A nice throwback to the 90s-00s as far the setting and minor details go. A great spooky season/fall read/listen. Jack, an all-girls’ school teacher and soccer team coach, is accused of having a sexual relationship with a student/team member. When he takes a pleaContinue reading ““Salem Falls” by Jodi Picoult”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 First, I just want to say Nana is a BADASS. I love Nana. I was literally hanging on every word, couldn’t stop. I HAD to know. What is going on?!? Nana’s 80th birthday was supposed to be a big production – and BOY, was it? The ending though — didn’t see that oneContinue reading ““Daisy Darker” by Alice Feeney”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Strong trigger warnings for: suicide and sexual assault/molestation Expectations can be too heavy to carry. For Emily that might have been the case. Or was it? Who do we trust? Who do we believe? A web of lies & secrets – all on display for everyone to see. When I first started thisContinue reading ““The Pact: A Love Story” by Jodi Picoult”

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 This one didn’t hit for me the way a lot of Freida’s books do. I was literally SCREAMING at the characters the entire time. Some of it fell a bit flat and felt pretty mundane. However, there was suspense building – true to Freida fashion – and the ending was DEFINITELY unexpected. ThisContinue reading ““The Perfect Son” by Freida McFadden”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 I’m only giving the 4⭐️ rating because the Audible narrator was REALLY hard to listen to for the first 20ish chapters. HOWEVER. I will say that the change of the voice/inflection put forward for Nora DID really assist in the development of her character over the course of the storyline. Which, I think,Continue reading ““The Locked Door” by Freida McFadden”
