Reviews with content warning for Blood - Finlay Donovan Is Killing It

If you need a book to get you out of a reading slump, this is it. It’s not pretentious or intimidating in anyway. It’s easy and fast paced and once you pick it up you’ll want to keep reading forever. This is a story that will have you slapping your forehead for how perfectly imperfect the journey is for the main characters. Even the last paragraph leaves you with a sharp intake of breath that has me begging for the next (?) book to come out literally immediately. Yeah this was great. Plus little bits of hot make outs and butterflies in stomachs really put the cherry on top.

This book is extremely memorable. Finlay feels stuck in her life. She is financially reliant upon newly engaged ex-husband, who is a perpetual liar and cheater. When he threatens to sue for full custody of their who chaotic children, Finlay is feeling desperate. She is entirely unable to write the romantic suspense novels that have previously earned her modest advances and self respect. When an opportunity to earn $50,000 appears, Finlay knows she can't take it, not if she has to kill someone... or can she?

Along the way, Finlay finds herself leaning on her children's ex-nanny, her cop sister, and a handsome bartender, as she finds her way to who she is meant to be.

"Finlay Donovan is Killing It" is absolutely charming. The frustrating family members set the stakes without us harping on their terrible natures for too long. Finlay grows throughout the story as she learns to believe in and value herself. Also, the nanny is definitely my favorite character, hands down.

Twisty and turn-y, logical and zany, an armload of fun!
