Review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the first book I have read by Sally Rigby and I have to say that I loved it. It will not be the last one I read. I'm going to read the whole series because it had me on the edge of my seat wanting no needing more because I had to know what was happening.

Seb and Birdie have a case that intrigues them and they want to help out but it is a case that has already been solved so they think. But as they dig in the case becomes anything but normal. You have so many things from corrupt cops to corrupt business associates that the more the story unfolds the more your like who is the real killer and why did they kill the person.

This is one of those series that draws you in and keeps you invested till the end. So go on out and buy you this book and start the series that I know will keep you plastered to the pages. Thank you to Net-Galley for allowing me to read this ARC.

Kaidans Seduction Presents a Review for Wandering Wild by Lynette Noni

 

Synopsis:

She hates him. He needs her. Can they survive when all they have is each other?

Zander Rune was the darling of Hollywood until he fell from glory and was labelled a problematic bad boy. His public image needs fixing—fast—or he’ll lose the role of a lifetime, and all his dreams with it.

Charlie Hart is a regular teenage girl who despises everything Zander represents. But thanks to her scheming best friend and an ill-timed social media competition, Charlie finds herself pretending to be Zander’s biggest fan on a four-day reality TV adventure led by renowned survivalist Rykon Hawke.

When their trip goes horribly wrong, Charlie and Zander are left stranded in the wilderness. No Rykon, no film crew, no rescue. The only way they’ll survive is if they trust each other. But in order to do so, both will have to let go of the ghosts of their pasts, and just maybe find themselves—and one another—in the process.

Review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have to say that I am so happy with this series and the way it ended. I loved every twist and turn that happened and poor Gwen she does not know who to trust anymore. Just as she is getting used to having some normality in her life bam there is someone out there killing her enemies.


Then there is a new podcast out there dredging up the past and causing her to wonder why now is this pod cast so interested in the past and seeking out answers. Causing Gwen to be more protective of her family.


I have to say as I was reading this I was on pins and needles because just when I thought I had it figured out there was another twist. I have to say that I recommend this series to every murder mystery buff. I just couldn't get enough and I needed more and more. This is a series I will be re-reading again.

Review For Now She's Dead by Roselyn Clarke

 


Synopsis:

Last summer, Sara Ellis was found dead by the lake, and only Mandy knows what really happened.

This summer, she's desperate to keep it a secret.


For a few weeks every summer, Sara was Mandy's best friend. At Highmark, the lake resort where their families vacationed, the two were in a world of their own. Or at least Mandy got to be part of Sara's world.

But now Sara’s dead. The police ruled her death an accident; a tragic mistake after a night of impaired judgment. For the past year, Mandy's coped by escaping: leaving home and barely keeping it together at school. The last thing she wants to do is return to Highmark this summer—even if she does need "closure." As soon as she's back, though, she hears the whispers: someone killed Sara Ellis.

And if she’s not careful, they'll figure out it's all her fault.

As evidence resurfaces and anonymous accusations are scrawled in angry red spray paint, Mandy must confront the truths she's been avoiding about last summer. Because someone wants to make her pay for what happened to Sara that night.

Review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was amazing. I loved it from the very beginning right until the very end and what an ending that was. I was like oh no that person did not kill Sara. This is one of those books that hook you in and keeps  you reading late at night early morning.

Mandy and her family go on vacation every summer to this beach resort to unwind and relax. This one summer her mother introduces her to Sara and they soon become best friends and do everything together. Then one summer things change and the two of them are fighting and are angry at each other. Sara wants Mandy to act one way and Mandy is not having it. Thy go out one night and thy are drinking and having a good time when Sara starts to act mean towards everyone. Mandy has had enough anhd the two end up fighting and after the fight Mandy runs away because she hears someone out there and sees a light. It is there that Mandy hides from the other person and witnesses Sara being killed.

It is a year of ups and downs for Mandy thinking she killed Sara. She has nightmares and blames herself for Sara's death. She stops talking to her sister and barely talks to her family. Then summer is here and the family goes back to the summer resort where Sara died and her family is having a memorial for Sara. This is where things get crazy because so many people are whispering and saying things like Sara was killed by Mandy.

This is where we find out who really killed Sara and why. This is a must read mystery book. Thank you Net-Galley for allowing me to read an ARC copy of this book.

Blurb: 

“They were kings, and for a brief part of my life, I was allowed to live inside their kingdom.”


Branwen

Little girls grow up, and time steals their innocence. Memories fade, and things you love change. Except for me. You see, I fell in love at first sight when I was six years old. The problem with that was he was a grown man. My young heart had believed that he belonged to me. That should have faded with time. It didn’t. Although I hadn’t seen him in over twenty years, I still found myself measuring up the men I dated to him. That was until the day he walked into a nightclub in Vegas and sat down beside me at the bar.


He didn’t recognize the woman I had become, but I knew exactly who he was. My heart had soared, and the flutters in my stomach that no one else had ever stirred came roaring back to life. Fate had brought him back to me.


Waking up in his suite alone the next morning with a note and a morning after pill with no way to contact him had taught me that flutters were not to be trusted and that fate was a mean bitch.


Five years later, I am engaged, happy, and about to give my four-year-old daughter the life I want for her, complete with a white picket fence and a father.


That is… until I find out that I can’t get married. Because I already am.


Linc


The fact I never asked a woman I slept with her name served a purpose. If I didn’t know it, then I wouldn’t have to remember it. No getting them confused and saying the wrong one in the heat of the moment. Hell, I didn’t remember most of their faces. I got what I needed and left. My life wasn’t meant for relationships. I’d tried it. My ex-wife now lives in Europe with her current husband.


The day I walked outside to find the gorgeous blonde I’d had a wild drunken night with in Vegas five years ago handing me divorce papers and demanding I sign them, I’d been sure it was a joke or scheme to get money. The tiny replica of her that crawled out of the backseat of her car, however, struck me with an odd familiarity I couldn’t place. My gut had clenched tightly, and I knew my world had just changed. The paternity test confirmed it.


This woman who had been number one in my spank bank for five years had lied to me. Stolen the first four and a half years of my daughter’s life from me. She may have the face and body of an angel, but she was cruel.


The man she planned on marrying and bringing into my daughter’s life wasn’t happening. I’d end that. I was going to be the only father she had. I wasn’t sharing her with a stepfather.


If I had to make sure her mother only wanted me, then I’d do it. When she was addicted to me, and I owned her soul- she was going to suffer. I wouldn’t hurt her body, but I would break her heart. Over and over again.

My Review:

🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇

OMG another banger from Abbi Glines. This story was so effing good I could not put it down. Branwen and Linc were amazing characters that I have read in a long time. Branwen is a tough cookie and no one is going to eff with her and Linc takes no bullshizz.

This series is an amazing one that is a must read for everyone. So go on out and get the series and come for a beautiful ride.
