This book writing was hard to get into but eventually it started flowing for me. The book constantly discusses brands of clothing and I feel its unnecessary the amount its done. Like its giving Gossip Girl vibe but too much explaining.
Magnolia and Baxter James aka BJ. Lots of back and forth relationship miscommunication. Just when you think they are going to be together something happens.
Magnolia grows on you, her sister Bridget, is my favorite. She's precious, protective, and blunt sister!
The group of friends grows on you too, there is a lot of names thrown at you but eventually you learn who is who. I look forward to the next books.

It's very long and starts out really good. Family friend group since they were kids. Very tight knit. Lots of drama, love triangle, no cheating.
I loved Noah, so much. He was the best, mature, moma's boy and beautiful. Best character in the book!
“I'm inlove with her and if Im right, which I hope to hell Ism, shes on her way to loving me right back.
If she could, I'd need nothing else.
Just her.”
Lots of chaos in the last 20% of the book. I really liked it till then. Just really long and then alot if crazy stuff happened at the end. But ending was good, and I love an epilogue.

I loved loved it. River and Jess. River is so sweet. I loved him. There first kiss was intense and in-front a room of people.
“Surely he could feel her heart scaling her windpipe. He didn't seem to remember there was anyone else in the room.”
I found Jess so relatable, worrying about missing out on experiences because of her age. Caring for her grandparents and daughter. Juno, her daughter is adorable and I love all the child interactions.
Lots of science talk but a great forced proximity romance.

Darcy is unpredictable, funny, and inlove with her twin brothers best friend Tom. Darcy has been distancing herself for years from Tom, until 8 years later he is single and ready to mingle.
I really liked it, her twin brother, Jamie, kind of annoyed me. He was so rude at times. I felt like alot of books have the miscommunication and back and forth drama. This book had it, slightly all over the place, but enjoyable.
Woah, what a read.
Dr. Connie Woolwine goes undercover, on a locked psychiatric hospital to find out who murdered a young pregnant worker and find the missing baby.
It was so good, interesting characters and great mystery. Who can you trust? Who murdered the kind pregnant worker? The chapters were long and lots of information.
It had good descriptions, very suspenseful and I felt claustrophobic at times during this book.
4/5 Stars.
King of Battle and Blood. This book was filled with action, spice, vampires, monsters, and a twist you kinda see coming. A cool world map included which always helps you picture things.
Isolde is a strong women, and Princess who is forced to marry the sexy vampire king Adrian. “I refuse to fall under the weight of these circumstances, not when I had so much at my fingertips.” Isolde doesn't give up and always does what she thinks is right. The entire book is through her point of view.
I look forward to the next one, I wasn't the biggest fan of the twist thats why I knocked it down a star!
5/5 star.
I loved it. Laurel Snow is a badass FBI agent who is smart, funny, and relatable. There was even interesting side characters Huck, Kate, Deidre, and Abigail.
It was a thrilling read, I couldn't put it down. There was mystery, spice, romance, funny moments and growth. This book really had it all. I can't wait to read the next one.
5 STARS!
Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.
“How Many wives and girlfriends need to disappear before your family notices?”
It was so good. Very thrilling, and you want to know more immediately. I'd read a second book about the aftermath. I really liked Elisa and felt so bad for her that everyone was gaslighting her. I actually cried when when she felt defeated after an argument with her husband. Elisa is a survivor of trauma, a good mom and friend.

This would of been a perfect fall read. Corn Mazes, haunted houses, candy apples, and mini donuts. It was thrilling and had many different perspectives. Felt like a slasher movie in a novel.
It didnt give me the heart pumping anxiety her other book did, Run On Red, or a scary movie did but overall a good read.
I liked this book, it was dark, thrilling, spicy, mild horror, and adventurous. The sharks were a huge bonus.
Lots of trigger warnings. The author tells you what they are in the beginning of the book.
Sawyer and Enzo. Kind of enemy lovers to a couple in love. Forced-Proximity.
“And that's exactly why I want to hate you. I was sleepwalking until I met you, and I wasn't fucking ready to wake up.”
3 stars
It had many moving pieces, some good and some bad. It came together in the end, FINALLY. Many slow parts and moments/descriptions we didn't need.
Robyn is back on the job, working a missing person case that turns into a murder case which turns into a serial killer. Another perspective Abigail is getting threatening messages and disturbing things are happening. She feels like she is losing her mind.
Zero spice. Dark. Triggering parts.
3.5 Stars
It was kind of slow in the beginning, but picked up at about 40%. The first 40% was a lot of abuse and what Mattie/Samantha has been going through.
Mattie/Samantha doesn't know how long she has been living with William in the woods in a small cabin but she is starting to remember some of her past. While all the abuse is going on inside the cabin, something is outside with sharp claws and teeth.
A good winter read filled with blood, ice cold snow, creepy noises, domestic abuse, and survivalist adventure. I wish there would of been an epilogue or more to the ending.

It was very fast paced. It draws you in, Heather, is a young women, suddenly a mother of 2 bratty teens on a vacation with her new husband. Things go wrong and it turns into a big survival adventure, with snakes, murder, ants, spiders, limited water, and food.
It was a great thriller. Im not visiting Australia ever.
4.5 Stars
It was very fast paced compared the first. Less world development and more character building. I liked being back in Rockton following Casey and Eric solve the mystery of finding a malnourished women in a cave. I wonder if there are places like this. Im looking forward to the next book.
Limited Spice
I think I liked it more than the first. The drama, the build up, the baby. I cried at the sweet moments. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book.
“Then here's another truth. I'm going to take them. I'm going to take all of your bests. Every damn one until you cant keep track of the top five anymore because there are so many bests that you'll need a hundred to capture them all.”
“Promise?” I whispered.
“I swear it.”
3/5 stars.
I expected “Love in the Time of Serial Killers” to be more interesting and about crime and mystery. It was more about her education, some serial killers histories, and overcoming childhood problems with her dad. I had a hard time relating to Phoebe and her distance with her brother.
There was some cute parts and it picked up at 60%.
