No Bad Deed by Heather Chavez

No Bad Deed was published by William Morrow on February 18, 2020. I was given a copy through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Driving home one rainy night, Cassie Larkin sees a man and woman fighting on the side of the road. After calling 911, the veterinarian makes a split-second decision that will throw her sedate suburban life into chaos. Against all reason and advice, she gets out of her minivan and chases after the violent man, trying to help his victim. When Cassie physically tries to stop him, he suddenly turns on her and spits out an ominous threat: “Let her die, and I’ll let you live.”

Everything hits the fan after that. Cassie can't just let the woman die. The man steals her minivan, granting him access to all of her personal information. A day later, her husband and 6 year old daughter disappear. Cassie goes on her own manhunt to find them, risking all to save her child and her marriage.

The synopsis had me hooked, but the execution fell slightly short for me. I liked the book, but it didn't blow me away. Maybe my expectations were too high after seeing the book everywhere, but the plot felt so jumbled and the end didn't justify the means for me.

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 ...

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.

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...
