Review: 

This was one wild ride of a book!
Patricia has always wanted a more adventurous life, but most of her time is dedicated to being an at home mother. So she joins a book club where they read a lot of romance novels lol and they also read a lot of true crime novels too. Patricia was walking home from her book club when she noticed that her son had not taken out the trash, so she goes to take out the trash and she ends up being attacked by one of her elderly neighbors. With this attack  the elderly neighbor that attacked her ended up passing away so Patricia being the southernly neighbor felt terrible about the whole incident and decided to take a casserole to her nephew. With that whole situation there was something wrong with it, but Patricia just couldn't put her finger on it. The new neighbor always seemed to be around, and originally she liked him and she even invited him to her book club but something more sinister was going on there. With the help of her book club friends they work hard to find out what is really going on and then once they do it is more sinister than what they originally thought. I enjoyed that this novel wasn't a I love vampires type of book. I think this book was very unique and interesting.  One thing that bothered me about the novel was that the attacks had to happen within the group, like one was raped and attacked before they had the courage to go do something about it.
My favorite character was Mary, while it did seem like she was out of it most of the time she knew exactly what she was saying and she came back and said what needed to be said to protect her grandchildren.

So later when Cory goes to see Jordan he is surprised but not as surprised as he is when Cory tells him he has a son. So now they are pretending to be in a relationship and they are going to Jordan's fathers funeral. Now, this game gets too serious when Cory starts to actually get feelings for Jordan and Jordan is too stubborn to tell Cory he has the same feelings. This is a cute quick read and I loved it and binged it in one night!

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
