The Last House On the Street by Diane Chamberlain

 57895028. sy475

 What a beautiful, poignant and heartbreaking read! I loved how this book shifted between narrators and time periods. The setting really came alive thanks to the author's wonderfully descriptive prose. I felt drawn to both main characters and I really enjoyed how their friendship developed. The ending came together well and didn't feel rushed.

Such a Pretty Smile by Kristi Demeester

  I really enjoyed the creepy atmosphere of this book but I found that it took too long to explain what was actually happening. I like how the story was told from the dual perspectives of mother and daughter.  I feel disappointed after reading this book.

My Darling Husband by Kimberly Belle

 55855788. sy475

 Wow, this was such a tense and exciting read! I like how the narrative switched back and forth between the armed intruder,  Cam and Jade because it was interesting to see how their perspectives differed. Jade is such a likable character because of her protectiveness towards her children and her tenacity. This is a book which was impossible to put down.

Smile and Look Pretty by Amanda Pellegrino

 57676365

  What an excellent read! I always enjoy novels which are told from multiple perspectives. It was shocking to read how the four main characters were treated while working as assistants. I found it exciting to read about the creation of a blog where women could anonymously share their experiences of mistreatment at work. I couldn't put this book down and I loved the ending.

 This was such a wonderful read which I enjoyed immensely! The descriptions of the places visited by the author and her husband were so vivid that I felt like I was traveling along with them. Mike Neal, the author's husband, photos at the beginning of each chapter were breath taking! Thank you for sharing your journey with your readers!
