The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf

 

Wow, this was such a whirlwind of a read! The characters were very relatable and their extremely compelling. There were no parts of this story which felt like they dragged on.  The twists left me breathless.  This was such a good book!

The Last House On the Street by Diane Chamberlain

 

 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

 

 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

 

  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.

Open Road: A Midlife Memoir Of Travel Through The National Parks by TW Neal

 

 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!

Need To Know by Karen Cleveland

 

 Wow, this book was such a roller coaster ride from start to finish! Wow, that ending was shocking! This book will grab you right from the start and will not let go.
