I did read the first one and I’m one of those who cannot remember many books once I’ve read them. So with that being said, I loved this latest by Frieda and had a hard time putting it down. Per Freida’s own words “This is a remake of Suicide Med. I changed 25% of the book and cut the length of the book by 20% and eliminated a strange plot point.” So I loved it! But then I am a huge fan of Freida McFadden and I love everything she writes!...more

I’ve never read any books by this author but I look forward to many more. The book starts out at Chase and Alex’s father’s estranged father and it just gets better and better from there.

Hang on, it’s a wild ride and we are back in Painters Mill, Chief Kate Burkholder is back with book #16 in this series and it starts out with a bang! Hang on, it’s a wild ride and we are back in Painters Mill, Ohio in Amish country. I’ve been waiting for her next book as I’ve read all 15 books before this one!

This USA debut by Ruth MaA woman falls to her untimely death from a 25th floor terrace. Someone’s arrested for murder but were they guilty? Innocent?
This USA debut by Ruth Mancini is a phenomenal turn-paging, intense thriller that I could not put down!!! The whole story was gripping how she told it in different parts even though there is repetition but it had to be done that way for it to be as great as it was. This is one of my favorites of 2024!

Thea and Rem get to stay atMy 7th book by Nora Roberts and it was pure delight from the very first page. I could not put it down and I just loved it! Thea and Rem get to stay at their Grammies house for 2 weeks while their parents have some “alone time”. Grammie loves her grandkids and loves it when they come visit every summer. I immediately thought back to my grandparents in Ohio who we would drive to see from FL for 2 weeks every July 4th. My parents didn’t leave us kids there but some of my fondest memories from my childhood were shucking corn with my grandma, walking the trails with my grandpa, walking to the corner ice cream store from their house, catching lightning bugs and putting them in a jar we didn’t have lightning bugs in FL … so long ago now. Back to the book, along comes Ray .. the bad guy! Both Grammie and Thea seem to have a six sense about things and they dreamed the same dream and it actually was real. (I can’t give anything away) Wow! This was so clever and the story was outstanding! My new fave of 2024. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review. To be published May 21, 2024. Looking forward to seeing what Nora comes up with next. ...more
