The Dancing Girls-M.M. Chouinard

I was granted early access for The Dancing Girls by M.M. Chouinard through NetGalley. Bookouture is set to publish this book on 05/15/19. If you are in the mood for a serial killer thriller, this is definitely for you!

Detective Jo Fournier is thrown into a mind boggling case when Jeanine Hammond is found dead in her hotel room with strange strangulation marks. This case soon connects to several cold cases and Jo begs for help solving them. The story follows her as the FBI rejects her, the suspect outsmarts her, and she starts to feel in over her head.

I actually forced myself to read this slower so that I could savor the book. I do wish that there had been more information about the killer's past, and the same with the person he meets towards the end of the book. I would have liked a little less computer detail and a little more interaction from the different victims. I liked the resolution but it felt a little bit rushed. I did love the use of Karma in the end. Overall I enjoyed Jo's detective style. She is the type of character I would follow through multiple books. Cover wise, I think the art is beautiful but I don't necessarily think it fits the story.

If you like serial killer murder mysteries, pick this book up when it is released on 05/15/19! Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advance copy! I can't wait for more books in the series!

Heartless by Elsie Silver

Elsie Silver has once again proven why she’s an auto buy author for me after reading this book! Cade is SUCH A GRUMP and I love him so much for it. Reading book 1, Willa was easily one of my most favorite characters, and I frequently blew up my bestie’s phone with things like “Willa just said _____.” It’s no surprise to me that I also loved her in this story. I’m not huge on age gap romances for my own insane reasons, but I thought it was done well here. Overall, I loved everything about this book. I had an absolute blast while reading it, and it now sits on my shelf as one of my most treasured books.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either. I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...
