Hey Y'all just wanted to post a blog letting everyone know that we will be hosting 3 events for Spook Season this year. Here is a direct link to Bookworm's Buddy You Tube channel, so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out!
Here are the events:
So come on and join in on our celebration of Jack Skellington and The Nightmare Before Christmas. You won't be sorry and we would love to have you!
This is actually a first time read for me with this author. This was our
book club pick for this month and wow I am so glad it was. I honestly
can not rate this book lower than a 5 star. I would rate it higher if I
could. It had everything I wanted in a thriller. The drama, the
excitement, great plot and amazing characters.
The best part was
the way the author leads you down a specific path, you are following it
religiously, you are sure you have it figured out, and then, before you
know it, that path leads in a completely different direction. I also
love how you feel when you finally think that everything is figured out
and you begin to breathe a little easier, and you are thinking wow that
was great, then BAM something else happens leaving you reeling.
Everything was great in this story. I look forward to more Alice Feeney
books in my near future.

WOW WOW WOW...*GOBSMACKED* At first I thought the ending was going to be
quite disappointing for me, but..... I was pleasantly surprised when
the author wrapped it up differently than I thought. It was starting to
feel rather unfinished for me as i neared the end. *BAM* I was slapped
in the face with the perfect ending to the book.
I really
enjoyed the plot of this book, which is why I picked it up in the first
place and I wanted to read something by this author. I thought that
there was quite a bit of mystery surrounding the story, both past and
present and I found the author trying to fool us as readers a few times.
LOL I found myself working pretty hard trying to figure out what was
going on, who are the bad people and who are not.
I loved the
characters in this story as well. My favorite was of course the main
character, Emma. I loved the way she interacted with other people, how
she was confident and unafraid to speak what she thought, regardless of
her past or present. I also like how she stuck to her guns and did not
give up in her quest to find the answers she was seeking to this mystery
of 15 years ago. It really made her an ideal character for me.
I
will definitely read more from this author in the future. I love how
fluid and engaging his writing style is. He can definitely keep readers
glued to the pages from start to finish.
This book gave me one of those deep rooted WTF moments! The ending of
this book, I thought was going to be very predictable, instead, I got
the shock of my life! OMG! I just can't wrap my ahead around it. Let's
start at the beginning...
I felt like the beginning started out
kind of slow, and this was because the author wanted to set up this
absolutely, crazy, family dynamic. he wanted readers to learn about the
characters also as individuals, who they are, what they want...so I
understand the slow build up in the story, it made it worth it. And when
I say crazy family dynamic, I really mean it.
The characters are
also pretty crazy in this book, but I really enjoyed just about all of
them for who they were and they were all such a hot mess it was
laughable at times. When you read the top portion of the synopsis where
it says: "Identical Twins. One wants what the other has. How far will she go to get it?" Choose wisely.
The first book featured for thriller Thursday is the book called The family Across the Street, by Nicole Trope. Her is my review for that book:
Oh my goodness, no words for this books. One of those stories where the
ole saying "Never judge a book by it's cover comes into play full swing.
Definitely and on the edge of your seat thriller with a killer plot and
an unbelievable plot twist that I never saw coming.
The author
can spin a very breath taking and dramatic story. Her writing is very
fluid and makes it hard to put the book down! I loved every minute of it
even though I thought the police active really stupid.
**There could be triggers in this book for some people.
