A Killing Cold by Kate Alice Marshall
4.75
Thank you to NetGalley, Kate Alice Marshall and Macmillan audio for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This was definitely by far my favourite from Marshall! This was twisty and full of action. I love a good locked on an island in the winter type genre and also the rich people acting bad so this was perfect. Totally obsessed and listened as fast as I could.
The Spare Room by Andrea Bartz
4.0
This is my first Bartz and I’m so excited to meet her in May! This was such a fun and suspenseful novel that kept me guessing right until the very end. I’m so excited to dig more into Bartz’s backlist. This was so good.
The Murder Machine by Heather Graham
3.5
Thank you to NetGalley, Heather Graham and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This starts off with quite the bang and I throughly enjoyed the premise of this novel since it was so unique. I did find a few of the middle chapters were too long and because they were so long - it felt like it dragged. I did enjoy the twists and the bit of the love story.
I Would Die for You by Sandie Jones
3.75
Thank you to NetGalley, Sandie Jones and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This was quite a twisted tale and you think you know exactly where it is going for the author to throw a wrench into the mix every single time. I loved that I never knew what was going to happened next. Definitely a fun read for 2025!
The Monsters in our Shadows by Edward J. Cembal
0.75
Thank you to NetGalley, Edward J Cembal and Book Whisperer for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
I got 40-45% through and I felt like nothing really had happened yet so I couldn’t bring myself to finish it.
Bay of Evil by Bernadette Calonego
4.0
Might be my favourite one so far - this one is action packed and feels more like a locked in mystery with most of the aspects residing on a cruise ship. It definitely left me want more of this crew.
The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter
4.25
This was so fun! I was skeptical, but I was instantly addicted when the two characters started bantering. There were terrific twists, amazing main characters and secret passage ways! Who doesn’t want to read it a book with secret passage ways??
I Will Ruin You by Linwood Barclay
4.0
This was another stellar novel from Barclay! There was a million things going on, all intertwined and I didn’t know who did what and when. I couldn’t even imagine that ending and I loved it. Definitely recommend this binge read.
You Can Trust Me by Kiersten Modglin
4.0
Thank you at Libro.fm for my listening copy.
This was another easy listen! I am starting to really enjoy Modglin’s writing. She reminds me a bit of Frieda McFadden. I love the unique twists and how there is never a dull moment throughout the entire novel. And that last chapter was just amazing. Definitely recommend.
Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan
4.75
This has been on my TBR shelf forever but I didn’t want to read it while the hype was so high. I’m so glad I saved it because I needed something so good right now. It’s gorgeous and so heartfelt. I loved every moment with this family.
