Secrets: A Shy Habor Novella by Brooke De Lira

 56548308. sy475

 I absolutely loved this book! I was drawn to the mystery, the characters and the setting right away. Shy Harbor was described in such a way that it made me want to be there with Cora and Jess. The adventure that Jess and Cora went on was both disturbing and exciting. The finale was one I could never have predicted. This novella was very well done.

Kill Her GoodNight: A Short Novel Of Suspense by Tracy Sharp

 42791832. sy475

I really enjoyed this short thriller. The action was non stop and I had no idea what would happen next. My only complaint is that I wish that spelling mistakes, word omissions and grammar mistakes had been caught before the finished novel as it would have improved readability.

A Dark And Secret Place by Jen Williams

Wow, what an excellent read! A very unsettling atmosphere was present throughout this book. I had a visceral reaction to reading about the gruesome murders.  I loved how the author effortlessly weaved together past and present. It was nice to see such a strong female main character. The ending was both surprising and satisfying.

Edwina by Willow Rose

I loved this very creepy book! Edwina was described in such a way that it was easy to vividly picture the destruction and pain she rained down on other characters throughout the story. This won't be my last book by Willow Rose.

 I adored this book! It dealt with a world of which I knew very little but one which I delighted in exploring.  This conclusion of this story had elements of the Stepford Wives which I loved! Extremely well done!

Don't Let Go By Harlan Coben

 I really enjoyed this book! The small town where this story is set is like a character in its own right.  I loved how Nap put the pieces together and finally solved the mystery of what happened to his brother and his girlfriend. There were a few surprises along the way which made the story more interesting.
