It’s One Of Us by J.T. Ellison
This was a fast paced thriller about hope, loss, & the secrets in marriage. It was tense but also sad at times. A content warning: this one talks about IVF, miscarriage, & pregnancy issues. It doesn't go into too much detail but miscarriage and loss is a theme in this book. I highly enjoyed this… Continue reading It’s One Of Us by J.T. Ellison

Girl, Forgotten
by Karin Slaughter. If you liked Pieces of Her by Slaughter, you would really like this one. In my opinion, this book is far better than the first and could be read as a stand-alone.This book starts out years later, after Andrea has joined the US Marshals. So right away, her character has changed &… Continue reading Girl, Forgotten
