The Wicked Hour by Alice Blanchard

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

4.0

The mystery aspect was done beautifully. I would have liked to hear more about the culprit, develop his character a little more. I didn’t like the ending. It didn’t fit the chemistry of the rest of the
Book.

While You Sleep by Stephanie Merritt
Did not finish book.

I am NOT interested in books that contain violent sex fantasies. There was nothing in the descriptions to indicate that the book contained that either.
