This was an emotional & heartbreaking but also heartwarming read. Definitely not what I expected! I wouldn’t consider this a thriller, but more of a suspense/mystery book.
I felt for Abi, Olivia’s mom, but also didn’t understand why she struggled piecing together hints and clues that would have sped up finding out what exactly happened the night Olivia fell. I expected crazy plot twists, but there weren’t really any. Surprisingly, it didn’t make me like the book any less.
I didn’t predict who Olivia was with before she fell off the bridge, but if/when you read it, it makes perfect sense!
I also found that the epilogue finished the book off really well. Sad and happy at the same time. But all in all, a solid 4 star read

This police procedural read was super quick and easy! Louise Rick is trying to solve a crime that Eik, her partner and boyfriend, seems to be involved in somehow. Eik filed a missing person report 18 years ago when his girlfriend disappeared. Now, there is more information on her disappearance.
The book also focuses heavily on the topic of Assisted Suicide, which I found very interesting as it’s not a topic you typically come across! The book asks genuinely important questions about it and also explains the steps that are taken to conduct assisted suicide while still making the book a fun and intriguing read!
I enjoyed this fictional book a lot! While being very informative, it was still a great read. No crazy plot twists - simply just a good ol’ Scandinavian whodunit.

Emma In The Night has a captivating storyline - two sisters disappear one night but three years later, only one returns. There’s talk of a mysterious island and strangers who took the sisters in but ended up holding them there. One of the sisters escapes and finds her way home only to tell her family they need to go back and find the island.. find her sister.
The story is told in different POVs: Cass precisely explaining what happened, and FBI psychologist Dr. Winter trying to piece all of the information together - plus stories from the past.
I enjoyed this book, but there was a lot of information to take in and remember. The author intentionally threw in some false information which made the story a bit challenging to follow (considering I was listening to the audiobook). I thought the twists were good though!

Something I didn’t know: This book was inspired by the kidnapping of Sally Horner back in the 1940s. She was abducted by Frank La Salle, a 50-year-old serial child molester.
After learning that this was inspired by a true story -though still partially fictional- this book took a whole other turn. Rust & Stardust was an emotional and such a heartbreaking read. I could feel Sally’s fear, sadness, and pain. And I could feel my own anger towards Frank and what he did to Sally.
This book shows just how innocent but precious children are. Not knowing what harmful things or people there are in the world. It’s heartbreaking how children are easily taken advantage of and this book, sadly, is proof.
The book itself was informative, gripping, and well-written. What Sally went through was brutal and for anyone who plans on reading this, please check the trigger warnings!!

Ever had a book go from potentially DNFing to a solid 4 stars?!
You guys! What a fun read!! I don’t remember whose review I recently saw, but it made me want to give this book a shot! I did not know what to expect, but I really enjoyed it! It’s definitely different from the dark, gory thrillers I love reading
Man oh man. The audiobook narration COMPLETELY threw me off when the first big plot twist hit
