Review: 

Georgia, a 16-year-old girl,  tells the story and while she is trying to escape poverty she believes her beauty is the way out of poverty. She has the dream to be an Aspera Girl, the gorgeous young woman who works at a wealthy exclusive resort. Georgia lives with her brother after her mother passed away from cancer. Now, things take a different turn when she discovers a  body of a 13-year-old girl along the side of the road. Georgia joins forces with Nora, the sister of the girl whose body she found, to solve the murder and find out what actually happened. But, there is more than meets the eye about the tale.  When this happens she is bedazzled with a world filled with wealth, privilege, and power. While she is very naive, she is beautiful, and while she knows she can use her power of beauty she does not know exactly how much influence she has. 
Now, this book should definitely have some trigger warnings because this does include grooming and sexual assault. However, this book is definitely thought-provoking and intense. This author has a way of not shying away from hard topics, but she has a way of covering the hard stuff and writing it in a way that is soo thought-provoking. Now, this is a raw edgy kind of story and at times it was hard to read. But, it was well worth the read! 
Thank you Netgalley and Wednesday Books for the opportunity to read and review this one! It definitely was a thought-provoking read! I definitely recommend it if you enjoyed her other book Sadie or if you enjoy thought-provoking books!

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

My Review of The Shadow Man by Helen Fields

Image
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
