I’m #currentlyreading Fallout, the third book in the Crank series by Ellen Hopkins. This book is from the perspectives of three of Kristina Snow’s five children, Hunter, Autumn, and Summer. They all have different fathers and live with different guardians.
I’m also reading A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. Pippa (Pip) Fitza-Amobi is working on her senior capstone project. Her topic of choice? To research the roles of print, televised, and social media in police investigations using the case of Andie Bell as a case study.
Five years ago, Andie Bell went missing and then was presumed to be dead when her body was not located. Her boyfriend, Sal Singh, is believed to be the murderer but this could not be confirmed because he was found dead in the woods, presumably from suicide. The police and practically the whole town believe he murdered Andie. Pip does not.
If you enjoy cozy mysteries and fun stories, Death by Podcasting could be the book you are looking for : two podcasters receive an anonymous text warning them about their future murder by one of the three author guests. At first, they find the story hilarious until they discover that another literary podcaster died mysteriously after interviewing the authors.
"The Spiral and The Threads," the long-awaited "conclusion" of The Nod/Wells Timelines," is coming soon! Begin your preparations with this official teaser trailer, featuring the six books that started it all.
With Regrets, from author Lee Kelly, is equal parts Big Little Lies and Bird Box, a suburban drama wrapped in a 24-hour survival story at the end of the world, perfect for fans of David Koepp’s Aurora.
A wickedly comic feminist mystery about the dark side of a hopeless romantic’s seemingly perfect love story—for readers of Jessica Goodman and Kara Thomas.
A town laden with mystery
and cursed by dark history
appears peaceful by day
until the cursed ones play
with the inhabitants' lives
like bears attacking bee hives.
Twisted family secrets are at the heart of T.M.Dunn’s novel : a murder, an unreachable father and secret notebooks describing gruesome abuses. Linda, the heroine, makes unexpected discoveries that will change her life forever.
I have FINALLY finished #reading as #audiobook Executive Orders by Tom Clancy (#book 7, 8, or 9 /Jack Ryan #books, depending on the source). I had to take a long break to finish this 50hr #action#thriller. Amazing & creepy that this was written pre-9/11 & pre-Covid. I was bored by the political speeches & unethical journalists. Also a bit weirded out that Ryan comes off as more conservative than Reagan was. How can that be so likeable? #read@bookstodon
Betrayals, twists, dangers and manipulations. They are the words I would use to describe this novel. If you are looking for a sinister story where the main character is ready to do anything to realize her dreams, then you are looking at the perfect book !
This book definitely had me gripping its pages and wanting to know what was going to happen next. I love a good #mystery#thriller novel, and I also love the concept of #timetravel, so combining the two was perfect. Did I know this book would be about time travel initially? No. I wanted to read it because it's a mystery/thriller. But as soon as Jen woke up on Day Minus One, then Day Minus Two, I knew. At first, I was confused by the frequent time skips and didn't understand why they were so random, but after learning that they may be happening so that Jen can pay more attention to the details of her surroundings and interactions, it made more sense. Like, if you had a chance to go back and do things differently, would you do it?
The opening of #FairPlay was intriguing, but only for that awkwardly amusing cunnilingus incident. I lost interest as soon it shifted to an oblivious hedge fund workplace drama and turned it off.
"yet Fair Play wants us to believe that the problems of high finance are the problems for women everywhere."
I open the guest room door
as violent winds pummel the inn.
Lightning illuminates the blood
dripping onto the floor.
I shiver in fear.
Who else is here?
Are the Penobscot Indians friends or foes?
If enemies, Elizabeth doesn't want it to be so.
But would she rather have enemies within her friends?
I don't believe so.
