41940236

When Tom Kennedy's wife dies, he believes he and his son Jake need a new start and they move to Featherbank.  Featherbank is the home of a very dark past. 20 years ago, 5 young boys were abducted and murdered by a man named Frank Carter.  He was nicknamed "The Whisper Man" because he would lure the boys out of their rooms at night by whispering at their windows.

After Tom and Jake move in, another little boy vanishes and the events are almost identical to those of Frank Carter.  It is up to detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis to find the boy before it's too late, even if that means they have to confront The Whisper Man himself.

They better hurry, because Jake is starting to act strangely.  He's hearing whispering at his window.....

YOU GUYS. I 👏COULD👏NOT👏PUT👏THIS👏BOOK👏DOWN👏. It was so amazing.  It was thrilling and scary, everything I hoped it would be.  This was definitely one of the books I wanted most out of this year, and I'm so glad it didn't disappoint.

The events in the book were so CREEPY.  I know of several people who wouldn't read this at night, or alone.  As for me, I took it to read in a hotel room when I was by myself in a strange city for a week.  It made me so entirely uncomfortable because I felt like someone was at my door.  I kept hearing whispers that weren't there.

I will probably read this book once a year because I loved it so much.  I'm so happy I got the BOTM edition.  If you haven't, pick it up before it sells out!  

This was easily one of my top books of the year.  My score should be a no-brainer.

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 ...

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me.  Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog!  What if I'm not interesting?  What if my reviews are terrible?  What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out.  Follow me.  Be patient with me.  Grow with me.  Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review."  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough.  Arthur Less is a failure.  He's a failed novelist.  He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail.  The love of his life has found someone else to love.  What does he do, as a functioning adult?  He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials.  Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief.  This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right?  This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them.  I trudged through th...
