A Face in the Crowd

A Face in the Crowd was written by Kerry Wilkinson, published by Bookouture on 06/06/19.

What would you do if you got home from work to find an envelope full of thousands of pounds (or dollars for the US) stuffed in your bag? This is the dilemma Lucy faces one Friday evening after coming home to her crappy apartment from her even crappier job. Would you keep it, or turn it in? This decision could end up costing Lucy more than she ever thought possible.

Okay, we all know I love Bookouture. I rave about them all the time. This book was no different. I've been Lucy. I've been the poor kid at the dead end job eating rice for the one meal a day I can actually afford. When she found the money, I wished someone would drop thousands of dollars into my bag....I'll even hold it open for you! Wilkinson did a really good job of making you feel every single struggle that Lucy has as a poor college student. In fact, all the characters felt sincere, and they played their own parts in the story.

Overall, the book just feels ominous and creepy. I felt like I was being watched while I was reading it at times. The ending is super demented, but in a good way that I can really appreciate. Overall the story was well told, incredibly detailed, and had an ending that left me with no complaints. I might just need to go find more of Kerry Wilkinson's books now.

If you like creepy stalker-y books, this one's for you!

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 ...

Athena's Choice by Adam Boostrom

I received my copy of Athena's Choice from the promotional team on Instagram in exchange for my honest review. The year is 2099, and men have been absent from the earth for almost 50 years after a virus accidentally wiped all of them from the earth. There's a project attempting to bring men back and it has become quite controversial. When the sabotaged project leads authorities to Athena, this completely normal teenager must decide if she wants to help find the culprit. This book was pretty interesting. It read almost like a movie. It's definitely something I would watch if there was ever an on screen translation. The details and imagination of the author were fun to read. Despite the fact that science fiction is not typically my thing, I did enjoy my time spent reading it....right up until the end. Before I go any farther, I just have to say it. The ending sucked. I HATEDDD it. It made me want to throw the book....
