Quick read with loads of twists and that ending. The action and twists just left me with my jaw on the floor. Loved it!

Big brother meets survivor for sure. Love how much action they packed into such a short read. Really enjoyed.

This is my first read by this author, but it most likely won’t be my last! I really enjoyed the entire idea behind it - especially since I love a good house flip challenge show! I hated and loved so many of the characters and it was a quick and easy read.

This made me feel seen as a woman who had two miscarriages. Some of the feelings and conversations the main character had with friends and her partner were so so similar to conversations I remember having. It just was an amazing story that got crazy twisted and thrilling!
An Unthinkable Thing by Nicole Lundrigan

Can’t wait to meet this author at the end of May. This was beautifully written but extremely depressing.

Thank you to NetGalley, Amber Cowie and Simon & Schuster Canada for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
Cowie is one of my favourite Canadian thriller authors out there! This was a very atmospheric novel with amazing twists and an action packed ending! This one kept me guessing who was guilty and I didn’t see the ending coming.

One of the faster paced Miranda novels that I have read and I really enjoyed the twists and characters. A bit over descriptive.

Thank you to NetGalley, Roz Nay and Penguin Random House Canada for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
Something about Nay’s writing just speaks to me and I’m always instantly immersed in her writing! This was no different, it’s fast paced and unique. I loved it all happening in a boat in a beautiful setting. Definitely recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley, Olivia Worely and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This was such an intense, thrilling and twisty read! I didn’t know what I was getting myself into with this, and I’m so glad that I didn’t. I think it made it all the more mysterious and thrilling. I love a lock room, murder game in any form!
Everything She Feared by Rick Mofina
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley, Eric Mofina and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This was an easy and quick read - the only problem is I instantly forgot most of the details of the book a few days later. It had a good ending is all I can say otherwise!
