You're It! by Mona Almoalla, Mona Almoalla
Shoutout to @booktasters_ for giving me a chance to review this ebook!
To start off, this book was all over the place. I didn’t have a chance to get attached to any of the characters because page 4 immediately reveals the plot. It was a nice fast read but I wasn’t a huge fan of this book.

The Wife's Mistake: An absolutely addictive psychological thriller full of shocking twists by Lorna Dounaeva, Lorna Dounaeva

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read an ARC of the #TheWifesMistake #NetGalley
Lots of twists and turns with this novel! Unfortunately, the pace was slow throughout the book and some of the characters actions are some I don't agree with! Our main character has won the lottery but quickly after finding out about this amazing opportunity, she realizes her husband is cheating on her. In my opinion, I would of kicked him out and enjoyed the lottery prize with myself and loved ones! With this in mind, it was interesting enough to find out how she was going to confront them but with the story being slow, I became a bit disinterested. Overall, I believe the last few chapters were the best part of this novel!

The Split by S. E. Lynes
3.0
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review! #TheSplit #NetGalley
The day following their wedding anniversary, Jessica discovers images on her phone from an anonymous number about her husband with another woman, engaging in meetings at hotels, and so on.
When Will remains tight-lipped about the situation, Jessica decides to kick him out. As they adopt a silent stance, matters start to take a turn for the worse...
The narrative revolves around manipulation, hidden truths, and deceit. The story unfolds with intensity and certain segments induce an eerie feeling. This psychological thriller is exceptionally crafted with unexpected turns that keep readers on the edge of their seat!
My feelings about this book are somewhat mixed. While it was engaging and well-written, I found certain aspects to be a bit repetitive, and some of the plot twists were not as surprising as expected. Despite these minor drawbacks, I do recommend giving this book a try for its overall quality and suspenseful elements.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC! #TheTeachersSecret
Cate is a teacher and has a son named Archie that attends to the same school . One day after school, the two disappear. Oliver, Cate's spouse, is acting suspiciously. Why? What secrets is he hiding?
This book kept me guessing! I enjoyed the multiple POV's and finding out secrets of each person along the way. It was very entertaining and it had me guessing until the end!

A Man Downstairs: A Novel by Nicole Lundrigan
3.0
Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC from Penguin Random House Canada!
I enjoy how Lundrigan changed the tone of her writing to suit her "then" and "now" perspectives, giving the "then" narrative and conversation a 1970s feel. I was piqued of who "he" was because of the story's nameless point of view. The plot was interesting but the pace of the book was pretty slow. The ending was wrapped up nicely but I was hoping for a bigger twist!

I went into this book blind! I'm a sucker for old crime mystery books and this blew me away. This is a fast paced murder mystery thriller and it has multiple POV's that go along with the story. This is based on a true story which makes it even better! Honestly I barely give books 5 stars but this one checked every box for me. I'm so grateful to have discovered this author and I can't wait to read more of her books
