This book started off very interesting, slows down, then picks up again.
Mercer is a widow haunted by the passing of her husband and young daughter due to a car wreck. When her friend Katherine gives her a chance to write a true crime book about Ashlyn, a woman currently on trial for the murder of her two year old daughter.
What is the truth? What is a lie? Who murdered little Tasha? Who caused the car wreck? Is any of this real, or is it just made up?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

A group of friends go away to a Greek island to get away.  To confront an issue. To plot and carry out a murder. This book had a good many twist and turns. A quick read with a great ending. If you have the opportunity to listen to the audio book it takes it to another level.

I wanted to like it more, but I couldn't. A group of friends (frienemies) reunite at the old snow/ski resort where they once trained and competed. Minus two: one who suffered a life-altering injury, the other who went missing.
The reunion turns sour once the group realizes they didn't know who invited them. They don't know why. They don't even know if they will make it out alive.
Although it was a great story, I felt it played out flatly. Still worth a read, though.

I love a rich family drama! Three siblings and their partners go to their parents for Easter dinner. The next morning the parents are found brutally and violently murdered. Knowing that the siblings stand to inherit a lot of money from the death of their father, detectives chase whatever leads they can. Now the siblings come together to support each other as each are being questioned by police. But each of them is also blaming the other. 
adventurous slow-paced

Very slow. Very drawn out. But a good ending.

Are your parents home? No? Good, now obey your god. Extreme horror read at your own risk.

The Trap, by Cathrine Ryan Howard what a ride! Lucy is searching for her missing sister. One of many girls whom have gone missing in Ireland. Now in this game of who done it, the Garda has no answers. The families have no closer. And Lucy is searching for Nikki, and she will do anything to find her.

Book two of The Lost Boys series by Nikki St. Crowe. Peter Pan has gotten his shadow back. However someone else has a shadow as well. Someone who shouldn't.
The spice.... 🌶
dark mysterious fast-paced

Very good! Manipulation. Family secrets. Family lies. A father that will do anything to fund out the truth of the past and protect his daughter. A mother who lies and manipulates until she gets her way.
