The Girl in the Painting by Caleb Crowe
2.0
I definitely think I may be in a minority with this review considering the rating this book does have. Ultimately I felt this novel was too drawn out. I skimmed the last 20% because it was obvious what was going to happen and I wanted to finish the book and move on. The beginning set the stage nicely for a small town mystery thriller, and I enjoyed the first parts of the book until the FMC made an unbelievable and honestly downright unrealistic move towards the main male love interest. The whole time she was saying how she would never do a thing like what she did... and 99% of women would wholeheartedly agree that she would not have done it. It was needlessly putting the character in a position to be wrapped up in the circumstances of the book. This could have all reasonably happened without the DV as an excuse to drive the 'Thriller' component of the story.
Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison
4.5
Loved this novel! Such a cute friends to lovers romance and the relative lack of a couple drama made it so much more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend if you want something cute, funny and cosy for the holidays.
Magic, Lies, and Deadly Pies by Misha Popp
2.5
I enjoyed it, but I wasn't keen on the story overall. I felt that it was too long for what it was, and the sentiment for me died pretty quickly. It was also heavy-handed with feminism which cheapened the experience

A thriller for the 5☆ archives! Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had the layers and twists I was hoping it would have. I loved the writing, and I felt like it gave nothing away until the very end.
