I liked this one. You have Cassie and Billie, who were childhood friends and started growing apart as their lives have led them in different directions. Billie hopes and tries to cling to the relationship, while Cassie is going where life takes her.
I don’t quite know how to explain how I feel. I feel like it went fast but at the same time nothing really happened. The ending just ended. With what happens through the book and the ending. I was just left thinking “huh?” But I also see how the ending ended that way.

I started this book as an advanced copy and about halfway continued with audio. The narrator for this audio has a nice voice and does a great job.

For the story itself, I feel like I lost connection and slight interest somewhere in the middle of the book. The beginning and the end kept my attention, but somewhere in the middle it seemed to lose the story....more

I chuckled through the whole thing. He had me from the first poem of the book, then hit it out of the park when talking about serial killers and Backstreet Boys within the same poem.
Listen to “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely,” what many consider their crowning achievement.
If that song doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, you’re as much of a monster as Ted Bundy.

Mystery/thriller books are always hard for me to review, because you have to review without giving anything away.
When I see serial Ki!!er in the blurb typically it's an automatic add. I will say Andy made me guess and then second guess who I thought was the bad guy. Which in a mystery/ thriller is always a plus, when you don't figure it out early.
Kat was a great FMC, as it shows the struggles of juggling police work, being a mom and a wife. She has a sense of humor which was nice to have a few chuckle moments.
There was one plot lineI liked, but I'm not sure it was tied up in a bow. Or squared away.
BUT all in all. This was a great read! I can't wait to continue and see the characters again in Book 2!

HE is the v!grin of the story and she helps him learn the ropes. And she shows him where that spot that the majority of men can’t seem to find. She’s a queen.
The characters banter was fun. Like I said the MMC is the v!rgin, which is rare, so that made a fun dynamic. There were times that had me cackling at work. Not laughing. Cackling.
I will start this review out with 2 things: 1. Sandra Brown is one of my “auto-buy” authors. 2. TRIGGER WARNING: Mass in public shooting w/ the 3.5 ⭐️
I will start this review out with 2 things: 1. Sandra Brown is one of my “auto-buy” authors. 2. TRIGGER WARNING: Mass in public shooting w/ the death of a child * the author does address this in the Author’s Note at the beginning*
With that being said, was this in my opinion Sandra’s strongest novel? No. Not particularly. I usually thoroughly enjoy the characters.
(view spoiler)[ But now being a mother, I couldn’t see myself in her shoes with how quickly she was functioning after Charlie’s death. Granted the investigation pulled her out in having to go to the station and then the safe house. It also felt like she went 0 to 60 real quick with Calder, especially under the circumstances. (hide spoiler)]
I didn’t start seeing the twist until the MCs started putting it together, which was towards the end so that’s always a plus in my book.
Will I continue to read SB books, yes. 100%. One book will not change my mind....more
Jenny & Jesse go missing after breaking into the home of Emmett Burr. You find out real quick, like most, he does not approve of people breaking3.5⭐️
Jenny & Jesse go missing after breaking into the home of Emmett Burr. You find out real quick, like most, he does not approve of people breaking into his home and trying to steal his property. You follow sheriff’s deputy Ben Packard follow the clues around this small town to find out what happened to these 2 teenagers.
This Detective/Mystery Fiction is one of the stories that start from the ending and works it’s way back to the ‘why?’ Are these my favorite? Not normally. But Joshua Moehling did a good job for his debut novel. I did like how Ben followed the clues and how he worked the case and followed the clues. Dual POV between the Ben Packard (Sheriff’s Deputy) and Emmett Burr (Bad Guy). Did it slow at times? Did I find myself drifting? Yes, but I feel like sometimes is with the territory when you start with the outcome.
I want to say thank you to Joshua Moehling, Poisoned Pen Press, & sourcebooks for the chance to read And There He Kept Her. ...more

I am not sure what Lisa Matlin put in this book, but WOW. This was such a great DEBUT novel.

I am not sure what Lisa Matlin put in this book, but WOW. This was such a great DEBUT novel.
I love a book when I get chills and there were a few times I was laying in bed thinking “ummm I need to watch something before I go to bed, because I can’t after reading that!” SO GOOD.
When it got to the twist I was like “oh okay” but then WHAM! another one and wait for it…. ANOTHER.
You should definitely pick this one up when it releases!

This is the 4th Novella in the Movie Magic Novella series. It was a super quick read (ignore the start and finish dates). The pacing 3.5⭐️ rounded up.
This is the 4th Novella in the Movie Magic Novella series. It was a super quick read (ignore the start and finish dates). The pacing of this novella was done well, I feel like sometimes novellas end up having to rush in the end to get to the HEA (if a romance). At times I did get annoyed with Indy, because as obsessed with fate as she was she sure avoided the path it was trying to get her to take like the plague. And everyone around her could see where it was taking her EXCEPT HER. Ethan for sure carried it. Oh Ethan. “He was the wet dream other wet dreams had.” And it for sure wasn’t lying… looks, personality, good with comebacks and holy moly the sweetness. Loved him. Can I find one of him out in the wild?
All in all, super cute novella. Really enjoyed it!
Thanks NetGalley and Dani McLean for the ARC of It Has To Be You. These are my true thoughts and opinions.
* Quotes * (so many good and relatable ones!) “The future is a tricky thing. Only you can make your destiny real, but you have to trust your instincts.”
“I don’t bite,” he said, his smile brightening his eyes. “Unless you ask me to.”
“He was the wet dream other wet dreams had.”
“Going after what you want isn’t foolish. Wanting what you can’t have might be.”
“She liked safe. Secure. Predictable. Taking a risk in real life was nothing like what her writing had led her to believe. Why didn’t anyone mention the nausea or the overwhelming urge to cry?”

I can’t even imagine accidentally attaching the story that I based off me and the dreamy editor I have a crush on at my publishing company, but that’s what happened to Brooke Baker!
It took me extremely too long to finish this one! I hate that it did! Sleep regression of a 4 year old is no joke.
The girls did fantastic with Accidental Attachment. The banter so good. The MFC’s thoughts were thoughts that felt like they came straight from me. Chase Dawson is so much the dream guy!

Which I'm not surprised, since it is Meghan Quinn. The story follows Caleb and Nova, both not thrilled with the Christmas holiday even though being in a little Hallmark movie town. But little did they know by the end their attitude for the season would change by finding what they needed in the end.
I really enjoyed the main & side characters in this story. They were a hoot!
Thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Original Stories for the opportunity to read and review this book.
