Review: 
I kept seeing this book literally everywhere! So, I finally gave it a chance and I devoured it in one night!
In the beginning Kya's mother is gone, Kya keeps wishing and thinking she will come back but when she doesn't return soon her brothers and sisters leave her with her father. Between her father and her they had a brief father/daughter relationship but after a point her father disappeared too. Kya is ten years old and she is basically living off the land. Catching and smoking fish and catching mussels, this allowed her to get some people Mabel and Jumpin. Jumpin bought her mussels and fish and then Mabel took donations and gave her some clothes and things to help her along. While this little 10 year old girl is living on her own she soon makes a friend Tate. He doesn't call her the marsh girl or anything else he actually sees her and they become fast friends. Tate even teaches Kya how to read. Their relationship grows from there then, in 1969 Chase the other boy who Kya would see is found dead under suspicious circumstances. So of course everyone jumps on the band wagon accusing Kya of commiting his murder. Then this novel takes you through the murder trial.
This book is phenomenal, I absolutely feel for all of the characters! Kya is the marsh girl, the girl that everyone left the one who she had to take care of herself from age ten with some help from people in the area. Then Tate thought he wouldn't be able to handle her differences and he wanted to be more academic, so he left for a bit only to realize that she was the love of his life and he wanted to be with her. Then Jumper and Mabel are the ones when no one would take care of this girl by helping her out with selling her smoked fish and her mussels. This story goes through more than one heart break, love, fear, anger and everything a heartfilled book should. This is definitely one that I recommend to anyone. It's so good!

So now they are pretending to be in a relationship and they are going to Jordan's fathers funeral.

My Review of The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

Title: The Golden Couple  Author: Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: St. Martin's Press  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages: 336 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  OMG This is one that I was really enthusiastic to read because I have loved EVERYTHING that these two authors have written and just a little secret (they didn't let me down! I was glued to my kindle the last 40% of the book!) Marissa Bishop sought out Avery Chambers to help her with her marriage. Marissa had a fling and she wanted to tell her husband in a controlled environment, where she and he could work out their differences and heal their marriage. Avery is just the unorthodox therapist to do this, see she only takes clients that she can help in 10 visits because she has a system that works. So while they work through her program they can be in a different place than when they first came to see her. So, while it seems that the Bishops are getting through their

My Review of The Shadow Man by Helen Fields

Title: The Shadow Man  Author: Helen Fields  Expected Publishing Date: Feb. 4, 2021 Published by: Avon Books UK  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages 400 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5  Review:  This is a different kind of thriller/horror book. An American profiler and psychologist is called in to help aid when a high profile abduction of Elspeth occurs after a murder of a similiar woman. Along with Detective Baarda she and he follow the abductions of a 12 year old child and of a parapalegic man. Trying to figure out the end game is all they can try to do and the twist and the turns of the case is absolutely horrifying. Fergus abducts them all to try to create the family he never had, not long after his introduction the reader can realize that he is not only physically but also mentally sick. He is so sick and twisted it's not even funny. This book follows the investigation and also gives an insight into Fergus's mind, and what an adventure that was. I definitely recommend this b
