Review: 

Erin is a filmmaker, she is making a documentary about prison inmates when they are released. Mark is an investment banker with big plans for his future. They are passionately in love and are planning a wedding when the worst type of news hits them. Mark was let go at his work, so trying to fit into a budget the dream wedding and the dream honeymoon was not easy and did create tension between the two. But on their dream tropical vacation they are diving and they find a bag, a bag full of money and diamonds that can absolutely change their life for the better. They ultimately decide to keep the bag and they are in over their heads while trying to move forward and by keeping their eyes over their shoulders looking out for whom they stole from.
Okay, I really wanted to love this book. The beginning had so much promise and foundations, and I thought it was going to be a great thriller but, towards the end and the ending lacked so much!
When I first started reading it, I was hooked and the addiction was real. I even stayed up half the night leaving only 60 pages for this morning. I devoured it completely but it's like the last 100 pages did not live up to the beginning, the story just started lacking and then the ending I hated it. I really didn't feel as if there was closure, it's like it ended midpoint. Maybe my expectations were too high because I saw a lot of hype over this novel but, if you do not normally read a lot of thrillers then this one might be for you. I just felt kinda Meh about it at the end, the twist really didn't surprise me that much.

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
