Tainted Toys by Melinda Dawson

4.0

Creepy but hooked you in!

Whoa! What a great read even though I was beyond scared at points and had to stop reading lol. There were some misspelling throughout but didn’t take away from the story line for me and it didn’t really bother me. Great story line that kept you hooked from the beginning… kind of like how the box hooked onto the families. Super creepy but amazing read, definitely recommend!

The Rooms We Hide by J.S. Mercier

5.0

Wow! I just have to start with wow! This was so much more than what I was expecting. It was my first dark romance book and I couldn’t put it down. I finished it in a day and being a longer read (495 pages) shows that it was THAT GOOD! The way the author brought in humor along with steamy romance and thrilling dark suspense was just amazing! I loved the writing and how the plot twists continued to pop up when I least expected them to. The story line was so well played out and the characters are ones I definitely won’t forget. The ending was perfect (no spoilers) I didn’t see it coming and it was a perfect way to “end” the story line for this one! I can’t wait until her other books come out in the future because they will for sure be on my bookshelf! This is definitely a must read!

The Life We Dream Of by Jennifer Leigh Pezzano

5.0

I don’t even know where to start but just a phenomenal story. It’s so beautifully written from the very start and never dulls out in the slightest of ways. The author completely brought me into the story as if I was in every scene. The emotions that came along were just beautiful. Between all of the lessons, the heartache and love but being done in such a effortless flow took me over the edge. This author is going to do big things and I can’t wait to read more of her work in the future. Such a beautiful story. Well done!
