Gin's husband maintains it is to a wonderful school for kids like her (Lucy has Down Syndrome) and says that they can't visit for the first 30 days.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Caroline is at her beach house when she notices the guy standing on the beach just staring at her house. Little does she know that everything is about to go horribly wrong with her life. He talks her when she is running on the beach and introduces himself. Later, without realizing it he as the house when she that party. The party when the Russian woman shows up and everyone knows that her marriage is over. So Caroline is more than shocked when she runs into him at the bar and he acts like he knows her, but the next time she goes to the bar in complete shock after she finds out Jason took all of their money she gets wildly drunk and goes home with him. I am not going to say anything else and I am so frustrated because I have so much to say, but the twists would be spoiled. So I can't even mention how mind blown or the other things I want to say because they could give away...

I won this in a goodreads giveaway. Thank you to St.Martin's Press and Goodreads for a copy of the ARC in exchange for a fair review. This is available for pre-order, release date Sept 3rd. Tova can't remember her people she knows that the tried to sacrifice her, because that is what Jorrand has always told her. But when one of the chieftains commits an act of war behind the main chieftains back she knows things are about to change. Especially when she sees destruction in the runes, and the runes never lie to her. Halvard is advocate for peace, but his people know that war is coming. So when the meeting for reparations goes horribly wrong he is not surprised. Except for the girl, the one with all the Kyrr markings. I am going to leave that there I probably gave away too much anyway. I adored Sky in the Deep and when I originally marked this to read I thought it would be in the same vein. It is similar with Vikings and runes and myths, but I just didn't love this o...

Thank you to Minotaur Books and Netgalley for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Disclaimer this is Book 4 in the Brigid Quinn series. This is a total What if book? It is based on two real killings the Cutter family made famous the book In Cold Blood and the Walker killed just two months later in Florida. Of course we all know that the Cutter murders were solved or were they? Brigid is blissfully unaware that in Carlo's days as a priest he was a chaplain at a prison and he has something in his possession that someone wants to ensure remains not found. When the new neighbor moves in Brigid's spidey sense tingles, but she thinks he is after her. She begins to investigate him, and the old murders both the solved and unsolved one. Soon Brigid stumbles on to the possibility of a third person who was there when the Cutter's were murdered and that person might just be responsible for what happened to the Walkers. Can she find out who he really is and what ...

Thank you St.Martin's Press and Netgalley for a copy of the eARC in exchange for fair review. This starts off with a security guard alone on a weekend shift noticing something strange is going on in the building. At first he things he is imagining things, but when he hears gunshots he calls 911. When the police arrive they think he has gone crazy, until the elevator starts coming down. When it opens none of them are prepared for what follows. Told from alternating viewpoints and with one being told from the past moving towards the present. We slowly learn about Vincent and his team and the Friday evening they all come together in the elevator to go to the Escape Room. They think this is a simple team building event until the message says you have one simple goal to get out alive. I am going to leave it that vague, I will say it took me awhile to figure it out. This isn't your normal thriller. To some degree from the first chapter you know that things don't quite end...

I won this in a goodreads giveaway! So Millicent and her husband have secrets.. Everyone has secrets right... But not everyone has their kind of secrets.. So normally I say quite a bit more about what goes on in the basic story, but literally that would spoil everything so I have to be super vague. Like super vague.. However, I could not put this down. I started it and finished it in one afternoon. I was pulled in and on the edge of my seat. Some of the things that happened I was not super shocked about. Others blew my mind. From the outside looking in, they seem like a normal power couple. They have a nice house, nice life, and two great kids. But what they do to keep the marriage spicy is not normal, not at all. I also realized that the husband's name is legit never mentioned in the entire book. There are instances when he uses other names, but no one says his name at all. What is really horrifying is that I found myself rooting for him. I am also slightly horrified that ...
