The Murder List - Hank Phillippi Ryan

This was my second book by author Hank Phillippi Ryan.  The Murder List was released by Macmillan/Forge books on August 20th 2019.  I received a copy of the book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
41556064. sy475

This book follows Rachel North-a smart, hard working, beautiful woman married to her dream husband and about to launch her career as a super successful lawyer in Boston.  All she has to do is hit it out of the park during her internship with the Boston DA.  The only thing is--she's wrong.  What happens to Rachel will put her entire future in jeopardy.  Will she survive the twists?

Fans of John Grisham-esque legal thrillers will no doubt want to dive in to this book.  This book is a little bit thriller, a little bit political, and everything in between.  Be prepared for all of the courtoom drama Rachel brings.  She can be a little childish and over dramatic, but it's not anything that stopped me from finishing the book.  I can however, see where people who aren't 100% sold on these types of books would find it hard to get through.

For me it was a little slow to start.  I'm also currently reading Thirteen, so it could have just been a combination of the two books that threw me off my game at times.  This is a run of the mill "whodunnit," and I was here for all of it.  The ending was my favorite part.  I love a good crazy.  Hot messes are always fun to watch when they don't involve you, right?

Worth a read if you're into these types of books.  Huge thank you to Hank Phillippi Ryan for taking me on another wild ride.

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....

Lucy Dawson's Don't Ever Tell

Don't Ever Tell was written by Lucy Dawson and published by Bookouture, released on 06/25/19.  I was granted early access to this book in exchange for my honest review.  Because I got too click happy on NetGalley, I'm just now getting to it.  I promise-one day I'll be caught up on my reading!!! Charlotte seems to have the perfect job, family, and life.  Only she knows that her marriage is crumbling, and her husband is oblivious to the fact(because of COURSE he is).  Little does he know that she has hired someone to be her, and when he realizes just who that person is life will change as they know it. The synopsis sounds like a typical thriller, but this one was more enjoyable than most.  The writing allowed me to put some pieces of the puzzle together, just enough to keep me interested and reading.  I couldn't put this book down.  Charlotte was so easy to relate to, especially if you've ever been in an unhappy relationship.  I loved th...
