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!

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 ...

Wine or Lose by Amanda Chaperon

I was so freaking disappointed by this book. I bought the alternate covers (which are absolutely stunning) at Romance Con and I expected to read about (PER THE AUTHOR) small town charm, office rivals to lovers, and a happily ever after. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel like I got any of that. The first problem lies within the setup of the relationship. Amara and Cal meet in a club, fall in love after like 2 hours, and go back to his place before Amara realizes that Cal is the new CFO that her dad just hired for their family’s winery. He calls her a party princess, she storms out, and fast forward to five years later, when they’re both still holding onto that. How have you seriously not gotten over that one interaction in the span of FIVE YEARS? Second, Cal hates women. You can’t convince me otherwise. When he was trying to prevent Amara’s father from giving her the company, he ONLY talked to her father, shook his hand, and plead his case with him. He paid no attention to ...

Twisted by Emily McIntire

Man, I’m obsessed with these books. The Never After series is probably my favorite series of all time because each story is just SO 👏 GOOD 👏 This one is an Aladdin reimagining, where the Aladdin character is a whiney little bitch, the Jafar character, Julian Faraci is a snack, and poor little Yasmin Karam has no choice but to marry him and suffer under the weight of his muscles and good looks. I devoured this one. If there was one thing I could ask for in my life, it’s that Emily McIntire write more of these stories because I’m almost at the end of the series and I’m not ready. 😭 If you’re into dark romance and alternative views to the fairytales we grew up with, run, don’t walk to these. If you don’t like them, read them anyway. She just might surprise you.
