Kathmandu (Leo Keane International Thriller Book 1)

I was sent a copy of this book from the author, Luke Richardson in exchange for my honest review.

45449087. sy475

Leo is an anxiety ridden man, recently unemployed and hung up on his ex Mya.  Mya disappeared over 2 years ago.  At his lowest point, Leo is approached by a millionaire who offers him money to go to Kathmandu and find his elusive daughter.  Thinking this could be a way to find Mya again, Leo jumps at the chance.

Allissa is desperately trying to run from her family and the secrets she is forced to carry.  The last thing she wants is to be found.

Leo and Allissa soon meet and realize they just might have to rely on each other to escape the city that is not as peaceful as it appears.

This book was very fast-paced.  As I read it, I felt like the pages were coming to life.  The descriptions were so well done that this read like a movie.  The plot was great.  Character development was definitely there.  I was interested in not only Leo and Allissa, but the secondary book characters as well.  The only thing that irked me about the book was Leo's devotion to his disappearing girlfriend.  Dude, she left you 2 years ago.  If she wanted to be found, she would have made herself known.  Build that bridge and get over it.  (Besides she sounded like a total drag and he could do so much better)

I read this in a matter of days, and I was not disappointed.  It seems like it took me forever to get to this book because my TBR is out of control.  Now I'm kicking myself for having waited so long.  Don't sleep on this book-it's definitely worth the read.  Hong Kong-the second book in the Leo Keane timeline is out now.  If you have Kindle Unlimited you can read it for free.

Thank you for letting me escape into Leo's world, Luke.  You have a great book on your hands.

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...
