Trigger Warning: This is not a spoiler as it's the how the book starts off, but there should be a trigger warning for suicide here. Why don't we have trigger warnings on books? This book is so well written and a fascinating concept. But I have so many feelings about this one...

3.5 rounded up

Peter Swanson does it again. Couldn't put this one down!

3.5 stars rounded up.

This was a creative short story. I was immediately engaged with the main character. If you go into this expecting a novel, you may be disappointed, but if you have delved into the short story genre before, give it a whirl.

Another great addition to this outstanding private detective procedural series. Kristen Lepionka's writing is smart and skilled, and her storytelling is engaging and current without being “ripped from the headlines” at all. Highly recommend this series.

Hmmmm... 3.5 I guess

Ahhh loved this one. Peter Swenson just gets better and better!

Hmmmm can't decide what to rate this... it was a little hard to follow and maybe too many characters/POVs? I don't know. The writing was really good. But I LOVED Station Eleven and I just didn't love this one.

I have to admit - it took me a while to get into this one, but I'm sooooo glad I stuck with it because it was so beautiful and heartbreaking and lovely. Wonderfully written first novel from this non-fiction author. So good!!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2

Ooooo... Chandler Baker!! This was so good!! And such an important topic!

⭐️ 3.5 stars ⭐️

4.5 ⭐️s - What a great debut novel! Hope there's more coming from John McMahon. 🤞🏻

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up

Wow. This was mesmerizing and haunting. I loved this author's first book so much and this one was equally well-written and engrossing. Definite book hangover commencing!!

Now that's stepping it up for the suspense/thriller genre!! So well written. Looking forward to more by Camilla Way!

3.5 stars ⭐️ This was pretty good - I've come to realize I just don't love YA. Read it for book club though. 📚 I also read so many suspense novels that I guessed what was going on about 1/4 way into the book, so others may be more surprised by the “twist” than I was. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Meh. Character development was good and interesting, but the overall story was plodding and predictable.

I loved this one. I'm such a sucker for an unreliable narrator!!

Whew! That was a wild ride that kept me up into the wee hours tonight! Loved it! Mike Omer is a new favorite in this genre. 🎉

Only 3 stars from me for this one... can't seem to figure out why! Great writing, intriguing story, interesting main character... just didn't connect for some reason. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
