Review: Hollow's Edge used to be the neighborhood everyone envied. There was a pool, a mixture of neighbors in various life stages and of course they had a chat to watch everyone's back and of course it was a quiet place. That was until two of the residents were murdered and one of the neighbors was charged with the murder, and then the people in the neighborhood were stuck there because of what happened they couldnt sell thier houses and move away. When Ruby's conviction was overturned she returned back to the house she used to share with Harper. Harper is stuck in between a tough spot where she can't turn her friend away because she has nowhere to go but she has to wonder why did Ruby return to the scene of the crime. But as time progresses and Harper starts receiving threatening notes it appears that not everyone has told the truth about the murders and now Harper has to figure out who the real murderer really is before another murder happens!
Okay so I've read a few by Megan Miranda and while this one was a bit more of a slow building burn I really enjoyed it. I could really feel for Harper because she is literally stuck in between a rock and a hard spot and then you have Ruby who is very manipulative but she is determined to be out and about to show she is still there even after several of the neighbors testified against her. I loved that this wasn't your typical whodunit type of book because the reader is pointed in several different directions so the reveal was not who I thought it was! I definitely enjoyed this novel and I am looking forward to more books by this author.

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
