Alex Six by Vince Lee Taplin
4.0
This book was right up my alley and I loved every second of it.
•
Alex Six lost her husband before they were able to have a child. When she sees Vick in the grocery store, she can’t believe how much he looks like her late husband, and becomes determined to pay him for a sperm sample. Vick has to decide how much money is worth betraying his wife. The book takes a sinister turn when Alex’s true motives become apparent and deadly.
•
This type of thriller is one you can’t put down. Short chapters are always a bonus. The alternating timelines aren’t unique to thrillers, but the time lapse between the two was a fun feature! Highly recommend!

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
5.0
I don’t know when I started reading romcoms but I’m go thankful @woofs_and_words sent me this one!

Olive and Amy are identical twins. Amy is very lucky and about to marry the man of her dreams. Olive is unlucky... and single.
Ethan and Dane are brothers. Dane is marrying Amy and Ethan is the best man. The catch is that Ethan and Olive do not get along. After a series of unfortunate events, Ethan and Olive are forced to go on the Hawaiian honeymoon that Amy won. They plan on pretending they are in love but after running into a few people they know, they really have to sell that they are the real Mr. and Mrs. Torres.

I really enjoyed this book. Super quick read! Funny enough to make you laugh out loud while you read. My only issue with the book is the way Olive’s size is discussed. Is she plus sized or just has really great boobs? It was brought up too often and left me with an icky feeling. That being said, I still think this is a book I’ll recommend to friends

Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney
5.0
Amber is at risk of losing her job and doesn’t seem to have the best relationship with her husband or her sister. Or her parents for that matter. But it is important to know a few things. Amber is in a coma and Amber lies.

This mind twisting, page turning thriller kept me intrigued the entire time. I loved that I didn’t see any of the twists coming right up until the very end, but they all made perfect sense. This is one of those books you close when you finish and still think about for a long time. Definitely a fan of @alicewriterland and recommend this book to every thriller lover ✨

Stranger in the Lake by Kimberly Belle
2.0
My third audiobook and unfortunately, not one I’d recommend.
•
Charlotte married a (very) wealthy widower, Paul. His previous wife drowned in the lake behind their home years ago and rumors have been flying about him ever since. Charlotte finds another dead woman below their dock and calls the police. Paul is lying about knowing the girl and lying about his alibi. What else is he lying about? Turns out... quite a lot.
•
I had a really hard time with the narrator’s voice. I found it hard to get into the story and I found all of the characters unlikeable. I struggled to get to the ending of this one

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
Evelyn Hugo is a movie star, and a very beautiful one at that. She had 7 husbands, a beautiful daughter, and a lifetime of stories. She chooses a writer, Monique, to do a cover story on her but she has other intentions. Evelyn learned in her lifetime that there are numerous types of love and in the end, love is all that matters.

Needless to say, TJR is a very talented author. I loved Daisy Jones and was super excited to do a buddy read for this book! I had NO idea what to expect but it was amazing. Gripping, enticing, and even tear jerking.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

Y’all have raved about this book and when I saw the audio book on my Hoopla account (proud new library member!) I had to get it. Y’all did not warn me how risqué this book was
Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle
5.0
Dear Wife
One woman is on the run from her husband.
A husband is wondering where his wife is at, why he knows nothing about her life, and why is he the main suspect.
One detective is determined to prove that the husband is guilty even though there is evidence his wife is still alive.
I knew there had to be a twist coming in this book, but I did not see it coming. I loved the ending. I loved that I had to play detective for a portion of the book. I loved having three different narrators. I think multiple narrators really makes an audiobook come to life. Definitely recommend this to thriller lovers.

Rachel is recording season 3 of her podcast where she lets the listeners be the jury. This season she is investigating a rape- a difficult process because of reasonable doubt. While she is in the small town for the trial, she receives letters from Hannah Stills, a girl who claims her sister was murdered and the town never investigated. Rachel stretches herself thin to cover the trial and help Hannah, but does she go too far?
•
I think everyone loves this book and I am joining that bandwagon. WOW. I heard the audio is amazing. I don’t want to bore you with my thoughts- just read this book!

Warnings: rape, bullying, suicide
