Review: 
OMG! This is epic! I loved it!  
Soo Jennifer McMahon is becoming a favorite author! Her methods of spooky, scary, and creepy have me hooked from beginning to the end! Everything that I have read by her I have loved!
This is one of those Netgalleys when I requested I felt like I had won the lottery when I was approved!
I loved how we were given the perspectives of two different times from Vi or Violet's perspective in 1978 and then Lizzy Shelly in 2019. Vi lives with her grandmother and her brother in the country next to the inn. The inn is basically an asylum, and Vi's grandmother, Gran, is one of the psychologists that work at the Inn. As far as Vi and Eric remember it's always been them and Gran after their parent's wreck that killed both of them.  While Vi remembers being in the hospital for a while she sometimes remembers little snippets about the car crash. Then one day Gran brings home Iris, and while Iris is a bit strange she is around the same age as Vi. They soon become fast sisters and start working on a monster-hunting book together with Eric.
In 2019 Lizzy Shelly is a well-known monster hunter, she has her own podcast about hunting monsters as well as she was on a tv show about hunting the monsters. After reviewing some of her forums and checking out some news she starts to head to Vermont, her home state in search of a monster that has evaded her time and time again except this time she is determined to stop this monster and save the girl that has gone missing after the monster sighting will she be too late?
Now with Vi, things start to take a more sinister turn when she starts digging around Gran's offices and the Inn trying to help Iris find out who she was and where she came from. Although once she starts digging she starts to uncover things that are much more sinister in nature and she knows she has to find a way to stop Gran!
Omg, this one was sooo good! Sitting on the edge of my seat the last half, I had to know what happened! I also loved that between the chapters there are little journal articles along with chapters from the monster book the kids were writing. If you love chilling sinister mysteries with a twist of shock then this should be your next read! Thank you Netgalley and Gallery Books for the opportunity to read and review 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
