Stay Awake by Megan Goldin

Image
  Thank you to Netgalley and St.Martin's for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Liv is confused, she doesn't know where is she or what is going on. When she returns to her apartment she is shocked to find new people living there and clearly have been there for awhile. All she knows is that she leaves messages for herself on her arms and hands. Stay Awake, Wake Up, Don't trust anyone.  Every time she fall asleep she can't remember anything. But she knows someone is coming for her, if only she can figure it out before he catches her. Usually I would say a lot more, but I am being vague because there is so much going on and this one is better if you read it and unfold it one layer at a time. I had no clue what I was getting into when I started this. Soon I couldn't even put it down. I had to know what was going with Liv, what had happened to her and what was happening to her now. There were so many things unveiled piece by piece in this book. It added to...

 Thank you to Netgalley and Hodder and Stoughton for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Grace cleans up places after people have died and been there awhile. It is a lonely and quiet job that everyone wants someone to do, but doesn't actually want to know who does it. When she cleans Tommy's apartment she thinks there is a story there. She needs to find it out, so she attends his funeral and lies to friends that actually show up. Something happened between the men along time ago. Grace means to find out. When another of Tommy's friends passes away and Grace is called to clean his place up, she thinks there is something suspicious about it and so she goes to the police about it. She is drawn deeper and deeper into a mystery that involves Tommy and several of his friends. What will she find out? What is really going on? I didn't really look at the premise of this book before I said I would read it. So it really wasn't I thought it would be based on the n...

  Thank you to Netgalley and Bantam Australia for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. Celine thinks that today will be a normal day at work. They will watch the guards and the inmates will play a game of baseball, however when the Warden gets a phone call that is broadcasted throughout the prison everyone knows today will not be a normal day.

It's the End of the World but everything's fine!

Death by Laura Thalassa My rating: 5 of 5 stars It's the last horseman of the Apocalypse. Death rides on a pale horse and he has come to end humanity. If you've been reading along with this series you probably think you know how this final book in Laura Thalassa's Horsemen series is going to go, but you could not be more (pleasantly) wrong! Once again Laura Thalassa takes us readers on an emotional journey through an apocalyptic landscape and nothing that we've come to expect is the same. Each chapter is a new experience, each character dynamic is different and refreshing! Old friends from the previous three books will join forces to help our heroine. Lazarus is a heroine like none of the others in this series. That really struck me right out the gate and I was never disappointed in her! This a woman that does not give up, and does not give in. If you thought the women in this series had their work cut out for them you have seen nothing yet! Laz has greater fortitude...

The Harbor by Katrine Engberg

 I won a copy of the ARC in a Goodreads Giveaway. Thank you to GoodReads and Gallery/Scout Press for a copy of the ARC. First off I didn't realize until I just set up this post that this is the 4th book in the series... I will say I didn't feel like I was missing anything once I realized this. However, I do typically like to read all books in order so if you are like me please start with The Tenant which is on my to read list!  Korner and Werner are called in to investigate a missing teenager. He was supposed to stay with a friend, but never arrived there that night. Oscar has vanished, no one has seen him since shortly after school let out Friday afternoon. When his backpack is found down by the dock and the family boat is missing soon they begin to wonder did he leave on his own? Is he really missing or did he run away from something? The mystery deepens when a dead body turns up at the garbage dump. But all are shocked when they realize it isn't Oscar but his teacher Mal...

The Admirer's Secret by Pamela Crane

Image
 I won this in a Goodreads Giveway, so thank you to Goodreads and Amazon for a copy of this book. This book is told in first person with the majority of the chapters from Haley's POV, however Allen and Marc. It took me a minute what was going on and I will say this right off the bat, this wasn't my favorite. That being said it was interesting and it kept me reading. I just didn't love it. I don't always like first person especially if it has several different people because that can be confusing trying to figure out who is talking in that chapter. Haley has a secret and someone knows her secret, and she is starting to get worried about these letters. Who knows her like this, what do they want? Allen has secrets of his own and he really likes Haley, but he is hiding from his own past. The fact that his wife is missing doesn't stop him from fixating on Haley. Haley is in love, but Marc only has eyes for Julie or so we think, or does he?? So the one spoiler I will give...
