Review: 
Loved it!!! This was very unique and I loved the whole aspect of everything!
This was a wild ride with all the magical elements that you love in a great fantasy book along with the murder mystery you crave! Soo Maya has this incredible gift of painting, and while that alone is a great gift but her paintings are soo much more! Maya's paintings have a way of coming alive, and while this is an amazing gift. If knowledge to the wrong people of her abilities it would definitely cause an upstir for people wanting to use her gift for power.
Now, this is where things get messy. Maya teams up with the governor's son and the governor's wife finds out her gift and basically blackmails her into painting her deceased son. To bring him back to life or the Governor's wife will expose her for everything she can do. While if Maya was only worried about herself this threat may not have done all it did but because Maya is taking care of her sickly sister because her parents disappeared Maya had to try to complete the painting or risk exposure of her gift! The setting and plot of this book were amazing! I loved the whole fantasy aspect mixed with the mystery, that was something unique and I loved it! Definitely an author I should check out to see if she has more books! If you loved the Jack the Ripper series then this is something right up your alley! Thank you Netgalley and  Inkyard Press for the extraordinary opportunity to read and review this book!

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

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
