Review: 
Something is soo wrong, so very wrong in Snakebite, Oregon.
The teenagers are disappearing.
The weather is abnormal.
Some of the teenagers are being found dead.
The whole town is on edge and they love to blame a local who has turned into a popular to a TV's most popular ghost hunter who has recently returned to the town with his family.
Ashley's boyfriend was the first one to disappear and she has been seeing his ghost and feeling his presence around her. Her friends worry about her and do not really understand everything that Ashley says she teams up with the ghost hunter's daughter Logan.
Since Logan and her fathers have returned to Snakebite, she feels that something has been wrong since they got there and has a feeling there are many more secrets than what she originally thought!
This was an amazing read! This is definitely a creepier read and for the fans of LGBTQIA+ friendly.
This may be a trigger for some because this book deals with some serious issues like homophobia, depression/loneliness, and grief.
But, do not let that deter you from picking up this book! I absolutely adored the relationships that were made especially with Logan and Ashley! I loved the spooky/mysterious aspect! This is perfect for a weekend spooky read! For this being this author's debut, I am really excited to see her next work!
I listened to the audiobook, the narrator was awesome for this book! I would definitely listen to other books by the narrator! thanks to Netgalley & Macmillian Audio for the opportunity 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!

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

Title: Daughter  Author: Kate McLaughlin  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: Wednesday Books  Genre: Young Adult/ Thriller/ Mystery  Pages: 336 pages Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  This was definitely a different type of book, it has a very unique storyline. I don't think that I have ever read a book quite like this one but, it was worth a read! Scarlet is your atypical teenager, she is being raised by her really helicopter/overprotective mom. While Scarlet seems to be your regular teenager with regular problems her mother has been keeping a very big secret away from her! Scarlet finds out the reason for her mother's overprotectiveness when the FBI shows up at her house, and Scarlet finds out her father is a notorious serial killer and he is losing his battle with cancer. To make things more challenging about turning the life of Scarlet, since her father is losing his battle with cancer he has agreed to tell the names of his victims only to his daughter. Her fath
