Review: 
Now and then you just need a good spooky, eerie tale to chill your bones.
I love when spooky books incorporate eerie things from the past and bring them into the story, it adds that chilling factor! So many things happened soo long ago, along with soo many things that are happening in the present!
Let's start with Maddie. Maddie has always been artistic, even as a child she was always an artist. When she was a child she witnessed something most children shouldn't and then she began creating haunting sculptures that were inspired by what she witnessed.
Now Nate didn't have the best of relationship with his father, his father was more on the abusive side of parenting. With that being said when Nate's father passes away he is left the family home. Oliver is like a normal awkward 15-year-old kid. Now that he is new to the area he makes a friend with a kid named Jake and while this kid doesn't seem to be on the up and up he is very daring and not in a good way.  
So they decide to move into the family home and slowly things start to get strange.
All the members of the family start having eerie and creepy experiences. But, the family tries to explain these experiences by logical reasoning. Being tired or stressed about things like that.  Now there is so much going on in this story, serial killer, time loop type of deals, to all the creepy aspects involved. I wouldn't necessarily say the book was scary but it definitely had the macabre impression throughout the whole book! This author did a superb job and I would recommend it to anyone looking for that pre-Halloween spooky tale! 
Thank you Netgally and Random House for the honor of getting to read this one!

Title: His Secret Starlight Baby  Author: Michelle Major Expected Publication: February 23, 2021 Publisher: Harlequin Special Edition  Genre: Romance  Pages: 224 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  It's soo cute and I loved it! Cory has a secret, a secret that her grandmother's dying wish was for Cory to let her son meet his father. Jordan is a retired NFL player and he had a one night event with Cory and when she snuck out of his bed in the morning he went ahead and left Atlanta and started his new non-NFL life. 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
