3.5 stars too bad the book only picks up around the 85% mark. The twist really took me by surprise, but there's nothing special about the writing and at times the story really drags.
5 stars I was so pleased to learn that Cari Hunter is releasing a new book this year and it comes out on the day of my birthday no less! I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and I'm so grateful to Bold Stokes Books for the eARC! I started it as soon as I was approved for it on Netgalley, and even though I tried to make it last, I just couldn't stop reading. Hunter never disappoints. Her books have pretty much all been 5-star reads for me, and that includes Unbreakable.In Hunter's new romantic thriller, Elin's 4-year-old has been kidnapped and she's on the clock to gather and deliver the ransom money. When the drop-off goes to shit and she's injured, Elin sees no other option but to, in turn, kidnap Grace, a HEMS doctor, to keep her alive and to help her get her daughter back.In parallel to their story line, we follow the investigation lead by Detective Sergent Safia Faris. What appears like an easy murder case at first quickly spiral into a complicated chase. With her job on the line, Safia hopes she can find Elin and Grace before it's too late.Hunter writes amazing, strong female leads who are flawed and who show just the right amount of vulnerability. They all feel like real people I'd love to befriend and hang out with. Unbreakable is a real page-turner. The story is broken into perfect-length chapters that switch between 3 POVs and the pacing is just right. I read this books over the course of two nights and I found myself saying “Oh, just one more chapter” more than once
5 stars This was so beautiful. Bryan Lee O'Malley never disappoints.“Smiling is something other people do.”
3.5 stars This was pretty good, though I thought it read more like YA than adult most of the time. Will definitely be reading the next one! YAY for sapphic witches!
3.5 stars this was a good easy read. Not too much drama and a little bit of angst.
4.25 stars I loved this. Ivy <3 also, I need the third one now (there will be a third one. I'm requesting one? Please?) and I need it to be about Stevie and Angie. I'm so curious about Angie's backstory.
