Kindle: One Day With You, Shari Low

 

Oh my goodness, I had no idea what to expect from this book. I took a break from reading thrillers, so decided on this one in my Kindle Unlimited library. I didn't have a clue about the premise of the book.

The story follows a day with:

Tress who is married to Max and highly pregnant with their first child. 

Max's best friend since their first day of school is Noah, who is a paediatric doctor. He is married to Anya, who he and Max met on the first day of Varsity. So they have all been friends for many years.

Max and Anya now work at the same company. On this day that we meet them, they are off to a conference in London. Just as they've left, Tress' water breaks! Baby is early!

I am surprised how sad this book made me and how much it made me cry!

5/5

The Village, Caroline Mitchell

Such a fan of Caroline Mitchell! 

Audiobook: Elizabeth Knowelden

Ten years ago, the Harper family (mom, dad and Gracie) just disappeared, what happened to them? Were they murdered? Suicide pact? Moved (although their passports weren't taken with). Aliens?? The mystery was never solved.

We then meet Naomi, investigative journalist, married to Ed Ward, a movie producer and his daughter, Morgan. They have bought the house that the family had disappeared in.

Bit by bit the mystery gets solved.

Some of it made me think a bit of Hot Fuzz (fabulous movie with and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost). This is isn't a comedy at all, but the closely knit Village; vibes of everyone that is hiding a secret and does not let new people feel welcome.

When the mystery was pretty much solved and I thought the book was finished, I thought ah, I did enjoy it, but was surprised that it wasn't quite as twisty as the other Caroline Mitchell's I had read. But then I saw that I still had an hour left to listen, bonus!

And then the real puzzle pieces fell into place, and of course there were a few delicious twists!

What Lies Between Us, John Marrs

This has been the audiobook I have been listening to during errands and running.

The premise is a Nina, is keeping her mom, Maggie, locked up in an attic because of what she believes happened in her past that she can't forgive her for.

Some of it was a bit predictable, some twists were, what the actual!

Very good, a little bit long in places, but all in all, am still a John Marrs fan.

4/5

Kindle: Ask for Andrea, Noelle W. Ihli

Flip! This was bone chilling, heart stopping, suspenseful... (insert all the possible adjectives that are more descriptive than 'scary'). 

It is also, heartbreaking.

The premise of the story is about a serial killer, he hangs out on dating apps to find his victims and is the last guy anyone would think of hurting anyone. BUT, what makes the story really interesting, is that it is from th perspective of a serial killer's victims!

It gave me nightmares! It even made me cry! The afterlife and connecting with all those you have lost, is so beautifully written.

At the end there is also a bonus short story, tying up April's story.

It's a 5/5

Audiobook: The One, John Marrs

 

Absolutely LOVED this book! So many twists and turns. What if there is an app that matches your DNA genetically to the one person that you are destined to? What happens if you get matched to a psychopath?? So many twists and turns. . 

5/5
