Review: The Wife's Baby

The Wife's Baby The Wife's Baby by Daniel Hurst
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, did not in a million years did I see that ending coming.  A simple story of an abduction and a frantic mother looking for her child.  She never gives up and despite the police wanting her to stop, she continues her search.

But there was many twists and turns in this story and the ending will blow your mind.  A different scene and an amazing ending to this great story.  I love Daniel Hurst books....

Review: The Teacher

The Teacher The Teacher by Freida McFadden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Husband and wife are teachers.  But what happens when one gets involved with their student?  Never a good thing, everything can go wrong.  But is it the students fault or the teachers?  But this is no usual student/teacher liaison.....this student will do anything to keep it quiet.

Another McFadden book you wont be able to put down...a real page turner and it wont disappoint you.  You again will be surprised by twists and turns.  Love all McFadden books.....

Review: The Dream Job

The Dream Job The Dream Job by Kiersten Modglin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have had many jobs in the past but this one would scare the heck out of me.  How can one even decided to go on an interview like this.  Well, Autumn did along with five other candidates interested in the job.  You dont know what the job is, but you will get paid a ridiculous amount of money if you get it.

Would you go?  Guess I am a scaredy cat because I would not, but reading this book had intrigued me to the point....well, maybe I would.  As usual a Modglin book is a "cant put down" book.  You need to read this one!!

Review: Talulah's Back in Town

Talulah's Back in Town Talulah's Back in Town by Brenda Novak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a three book series and written by Brenda Novak...so you know it will be good.  Her characters are down to earth and we find ourselves in Montana following Talulah when she returns to the town (Coyote Canyon) to attend her aunt funeral and clean out her house.  But we soon find out it wasnt so easy for the runaway bride.  

This book keeps you turning the pages to follow her life and see what she will do next.  A few surprises and definitely it leaves you wanting to read Book #2

Review: One Big Happy Family

One Big Happy Family One Big Happy Family by Jamie Day
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Received this one from Netgalley and boy oh boy, one big happy family is really one big crazy family.  If you think your family is nuts, then you must read this book.  Your family will look like pussy cats compared to this one.  At one point I didnt know who to trust or who to even believe. Trust no one because you will find a surprise hidden in this story.  But I guess everyone's family goes a bit crazy when a member dies and there is a will reading.  And the results of that will are not what one is expecting.  Well written and a real page turner.  Will be released July 16, 2024 - put it on your TBR list now!

Review: The Wrong Woman

The Wrong Woman The Wrong Woman by Daniel Hurst
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

And here we are again reading Daniel Hurst...cant get enough of him.  And now we read about Simone is a revenge seeker.  Yes, that is her job.  She exposes cheating men, and then gets her revenge on them.  But what happens when something goes wrong.  Well, we learn quickly that there are ways to get around that.  Loved the story - really something different.  And it keeps you turning the pages to be what else she gets into.  Great read.

Review: House of Glass

House of Glass House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Received this book through Netgalley and although a slow start it really got interesting as it went along.  They looked like the perfect family and rich but all was not well inside the house.  We follow little Rose Barclay and what her family is like.  You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Enters Stella who is catching on pretty quickly.  She is the attorney in a custody battle for Rose but there is more than meets the eye. Also, another like in this book - a surprise ending.  Didnt see that coming.  So place this one on your TBR list as it will be released in August.

Review: The Bride to Be

The Bride to Be The Bride to Be by Daniel Hurst
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just up my alley, another great book by this author.  We find ourselves following Kate who is about to get married.  But its not that simple, or at least Daniel Hurst doesnt make it so.  I love how Kate gets mixed up in the life of another couple who are also getting married.  But as usual nothing is as it seems.  So while you are wondering all about Kate, you also need to wonder about the other couple she is obsessed with.  This is definitely a page turner as with all of Daniel Hurst's books.

Review: The Night Island

The Night Island The Night Island by Jayne Ann Krentz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was read for a book club and was way out of my genre.  But though it started off slow, I did get into it.  If you like paranormal stuff then read this one because the journey involves a group of podcasters who are looking into an organization - hence Night Island - using enhancing drugs to give power to selected individuals.

Apparently this is a series and of course while the book ended, the story is not over.

Review: The Sawmill Book Club

The Sawmill Book Club The Sawmill Book Club by Carolyn Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading a Carolyn Brown book is like having a party. There's a lot of work to be done beforehand, but oh, what a good time was had by all.  I received this book through NetGalley and it will be released on July 9, 2024.  The story's main character, Libby goes through a lot in her life until she makes a change and moves where meets her new boss, Benny.  He's rich but comes from a small town where everyone knows your name.

If you need a feel-good book, then please put this one on your TBR list.  It makes you believe in fairy tales that do come true. It makes you believe that we can overcome obstacles with just a little bit of faith, good friends of some self-forgiveness.

Review: Becoming Mrs. Abbott

Becoming Mrs. Abbott Becoming Mrs. Abbott by Kiersten Modglin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nothing like a Modglin book.  And this one did not disappoint.  She writes great page turners and this story is amazing also.  Murder in a quiet community....and who is responsible?  Innocent or guilty?  You will have to decide...and you might just be surprised.....because they are liars....or are they?

Another great page turner by this author.  I am really hooked on her books.  Once you start you will want to read all of her books.
