Review: 
This is the second novel that I have read by this author and she has a way of making slow creepy thrillers that are soo close to horror it's not even funny!
When Eleanor walked in on her grandmother's murder she came face to face with her killer but, she has prosopagnosia, so she couldn't recognize the killer. (Prosopagnosia is a disorder where a person can not recognize faces) Knowing she came face to face with the killer or whether the killer would return haunts her dreams and makes her kind of paranoid. So when the lawyer calls telling Eleanor that her grandmother had left her a house a house tucked away in the woods.
When they first arrive at the house while all the furniture is antique the house is in pristine condition, clean, and everything. Slowly while they are going through the house Eleanor is convinced she sees someone outside but when she goes outside she and Sebastian do not see anyone so she chalks it up to nerves.  That's only the beginning of things.
As Eleanor gets closer to the truth and figuring out what happened there, she realizes there is so much more than she imagined and they are trapped there because of a snowstorm.
This novel is a great spooky read for October and if you love spine-tingling thrillers that border doesn't the side of horror then this should be your next read! Thank you Minotaur Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this one!

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
