Buddy Read with : Alexis and Carissa.Ann

First off a big thanks to Hachette Audio for sending me the redeem code for it though play books , as well as thanks to Alexis and Carissa.Ann for doing this as a buddy read this month with me , because other wise it might have been a little while before I got to it. Not because it's nonfiction, but because if you know me you know that I tend to stay away from anything that deals with politics , I don't even watch about on TV or read about in any forum so this type of book was out of my comfort zone, but it was also part of our history I had no idea about and that I do like learning about. So you could say I was going into this book 100% blind. Which might be a good thing but at this moment looking back I'm glad I didn't know anything about what happened. And here's why : I was raised that you respect law officials and how they go out each and every day and risk their lives to protect people but as soon as I started this book and realized what the now president did back in 2021 , it upset me , and the only question that came to my mind was how can someone who says his for the people , send a group of crazies to storm the Capital without giving any thought to the men and women who police officers there , because though out this book you hear the text message he posted and not once did send out any concern or consideration for their safety, it wasn't until much later in the day that he finally did that and by then it was to late . With that thought in my mind ,maybe this wasn't the right book for ,but  it's still part of our history that need to be known, and I do have to say that the author and the others Mary Clare Jalonick, Lisa Flanagan, Soneela Nankani, Timothy Andrés Pabon​, Leon Nixon and Arthur Morey do bring the story to life , and the PDF especially helps with at. Also I want to say  that police officers who was there will all ways be in our hearts as well their families.

First off a big thank you to the publisher Bookouture, to the author Helen Phifer, as well as to Netgalley, for the invite to read book 17 of this series. Because reading this one has reminded me that even though I've missed quite a few of the books in this series ,there is a reason as to why I've read the few i have read and it's because of the characters, and the way the story keeps surprising you even when you think you have it figured out .

Thunder rattles the windows of the deserted hotel. Morgan spots the young girl on the floor, her dark hair fanned out and covered in shattered glass. Lightning strikes, illuminating the blood on every surface.

Following an emergency call in the middle of a fierce storm, Detective Morgan Brookes arrives at Keswick Manor, a crumbling, empty hotel in the Lake District, where she finds the dead body of a young woman. She recognises her bright blue eyes instantly. Lauren Williams’ body is still warm to the touch, a knife protruding out of her chest, just like the one that killed her sister, Lydia, one month ago. But the killer in that case is dead…

Morgan can’t imagine the horror Lauren went through as she combs the scene; a broken radio on the stairs suggest she was running from someone. Lauren knew her sister was murdered, did she know she was next? Grief-stricken, Morgan sets to work on Lydia’s case files and refuses to sleep until she’s uncovered any small clue she missed. But by the time she discovers they had another sister, the poor girl is reported missing, her pink car found abandoned in the local woods surrounded by overgrown brambles.

When Morgan spots a police identification number scribbled in the family’s old police files, she realises that one of her colleagues has been lying to her. The idea that someone at HQ is in league with a serial killer would send terrifying shockwaves through Rydal Falls, but Morgan can think of no other explanation. Can she save the final sister and catch this killer as a terrifying countdown begins? Or with evil closer than she thinks, watching Morgan’s every move, is she already in too much danger?

Now On to my thoughts :First off a big thank you to the publisher Second Sky , the author Kathryn Ann Kingsley , and to Netgalley for letting me read book 2 in the Bloodlines . All I can say is that I didn't think it would be able to top the first book but it did. Just by the story line itself as well as the world building became even more real, and the tension between our main characters also became more real to the point you was shout at them ,you together belong together.

To destroy the vampires who killed her family… She must become one of them.

Nadi is trapped in a deadly alliance with Raziel Nostrom. After a honeymoon soaked in blood and desire, they make a pact—to take down his criminal family together.

Now Nadi is at the heart of the Nostrom empire, pretending to be a vampire. If her act slips even for a moment, they will tear her apart.

Raziel holds Nadi’s life in his hands. And her heart… His wicked smile sets her body aflame, drawing her closer and closer. Still, he is a born killer—alluring and utterly ruthless. He could turn on her in an instant.

But Raziel is not the only one in his family with a taste for betrayal…

When his brother and sister approach her with proposals of their own, Nadi faces a desperate choice. Will she stand by Raziel, as the world turns against him? Or seize the perfect chance to destroy his family forever?

Would I read more of this author? Yes 

Now on to my thoughts: 

First off a big thank you to the publisher Bookouture,  the author Stacy Green, and to Netgalley, for letting me continue on with the Nikki Hunt series , because without them I would probably never have discovered it in the frist place which is sad to think of because one of the  things I absolutely love about this series besides the main character, is the atmosphere of the book, how your pulled into the story right away, and how the twist and turns keep you guessing with each turn of the page .

The girl’s heart races as she edges towards the bright yellow farmhouse where children’s toys lie carelessly in the overgrown grass. The air is too still. On the front porch, a woman takes her last breath and crumples to the ground…

Special Agent Nikki Hunt feels her chest tighten as she looks down at the body sprawled beside the lilac bushes. This morning, her ten-year-old daughter Lacey witnessed the murder of local mother Elle Harper. Out riding her bike, Lacey saw the killer escape from the house and rushed inside to protect Elle’s daughters Maisy and Maya.

Nikki promises Lacey she’ll do whatever it takes to help the poor innocent girls who now sit in her house clutching their teddies. But before she has a chance to return them to the safety of their stepfather Tim, he’s reported missing. Local gossip suggests that fights between Elle and Tim had been spilling out of the farmhouse, and Nikki soon wonders if Maisy and Maya were ever safe in their own home.

But just as Nikki zones in on her suspect, she realizes she’s too late. A body is pulled from the river, and Nikki’s heart shatters as Tim is pronounced dead. Nikki’s gut tells her that someone is targeting the whole family. But with this killer stalking her in the shadows, what sacrifices will she have to make to save them, and keep her promise to her daughter?

Part of a series : no ,its a standalone 

My thoughts: 

First off a big thank you to the publisher Bookouture, the author D.K Hood , and one to Netgalley for the invite to read His Next Wife. As soon as I saw this I couldn't or wouldn't say no, when I started to read D.K Hood it was because of her series Detectives Kane and Alton, then her next series Detective Beth Katz, and I was so happy to hear that she was going to also start writing standalones, so as you can tell going I was looking forward to this one as well as her other books. But I wasn't sure going in I it would have the same wow factor as her other books and I'm so glad it does. Just like her other books it pulled me in to the store and had me hooked and will these read as suspense or even maybe suspense romance ( because there is a bit of romance in

Detectives Kane and Alton, His Next Wife read more and played alone the lines as a psychological Thriller, because of the way it plays with your mind as your reading what happens to the main character and makes you ask yourself questions.

His first wife died in an accident, but I’m not so sure. Did he kill her? Am I next?

Handsome and charming, Jack swept me off my feet when we met, and now we’re married and I’m moving into his imposing old house. I’m bursting with excitement until I see a face staring down at me from an upstairs window. Before I can wave, the face vanishes from view. Jack says nobody else was home, so who is hiding in the shadows?

Taking in my new home, I’m startled to discover a long ivory wedding gown in one of the bedrooms. My heart pounds as I realise this was the room where I saw someone watching me. Jack tells me the dress belonged to his ex-wife, who died in an accident. He says he forgot the dress was there, but I can’t fail to notice the way he avoids eye contact as he quickly hurries me out of the room and locks the door behind us.

As the days go by, I see Jack less and less and I can’t help but think he’s avoiding me. Left in my new home alone, I begin to obsess about his ex-wife. Jack tells me to stop, that I’m imagining things, but I can’t help myself. Instead, I go back to the room where I thought I saw someone and nothing could have prepared me for what I find behind that locked door. Or what happens next…

First off a big thank you to the publisher,  to the author as well as to Netgalley for the invite to read Wildewood , it was the perfect read I needed and wanted on this cold winter day , especially with it's haunting, atmospheric tale that's wrapped in shadows, and secrets as well as  dark haunting whispers of ancient magic that come from them. Plus Jessica Thorne story lines always seem to pull me in right from the very start.Which means  I can't wait to read more by her . 

You don’t need to run, my beloved. Not anymore. It’s time to come home to Wildewood…

The last of the de Wildes, scientist Alex point-blank refuses to believe the family is cursed – even though all her relatives died in mysterious circumstances at their ancestral manor, Wildewood. Now her twin brother has passed away there too. All she wants is to finally sell the old place and move on.

But Nick, the brooding, dangerously hot groundskeeper and her brother’s best friend seems determined to stand in her way. He was a suspect in her brother’s death. And Alex can find no records of him before he came to Wildewood 15 years ago…

Yet, when Alex nearly falls to her death restlessly pacing the shadowy halls in the dead of night, it’s Nick that saves her life. Cradled in his arms at the bottom of the winding staircase, Alex is barely able to stop herself kissing him as a sultry voice from seemingly deep within the house whispers, just give in.

But this near-death experience isn’t the last. Increasingly strange and potentially fatal accidents mount – each with striking similarity to those that claimed her relatives. Alex is forced to dig into her family’s wretched history, with Nick’s help. But are they ready to face just how dark the heart of Wildewood truly is?
