๐“‘๐“ธ๐“ธ๐“ด ๐“ก๐“ฎ๐“ฟ๐“ฒ๐“ฎ๐”€โฃ โฃ The Dead Girls Club by @dawalters (thank you to @crookedlanebooks for my #freebook).โฃ โฃ Itโ€™s 1991, and twelve year olds Heather and Becca are the best of friends. Together with Gia and Rachel, the girls form The Dead Girls Club where they swap ghost stories and urban legends. Becca tells them of The Red Lady, a witch who was brutally murdered. The girls perform a seance to resurrect The Red Lady, but Heather is convinced that itโ€™s all a hoax. Becca is desperate to convince Heather that The Red Lady is real, and one night when the two girls are alone, Becca ends up deadโ€ฆand itโ€™s Heatherโ€™s fault.โฃ โฃ Heather hasnโ€™t thought about her childhood best friend Becca ever since that frightful night 30 years ago. Heather is focused on her career as a child psychologist. One day, Heather receives an envelope that contains Beccaโ€™s half of their once best friends forever heart charm necklace. Who could have sent the necklace? Is someone trying to blackmail Heather? โฃ โฃ Each chapter alternates between the present and the past. I gravitated more towards the chapters that focused on the past. Walters does a fantastic job of focusing on the dynamic of girl friendships all while capturing the nostalgia of the time period. These chapters were wrought with suspense and creepiness as we learned more information about The Red Lady. The chapters that focused on Heatherโ€™s current life still maintained the suspense, but Heatherโ€™s paranoia and stress were a lot. There were times that I just wanted to shake some sense into her.โฃ โฃ Overall, this is a fast-paced thriller packed with twists and turns that definitely takes you on a wild ride through both the past and the present.โฃ โฃ Grab your copy December 10th!โฃ โฃ Rating: 4/5 โญ๏ธโ€™sโฃ โฃ โฃ ๐‘ซ๐’Š๐’… ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’“ ๐’•๐’†๐’๐’ ๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’• ๐’”๐’•๐’๐’“๐’Š๐’†๐’” ๐’๐’“ ๐’–๐’“๐’ƒ๐’‚๐’ ๐’๐’†๐’ˆ๐’†๐’๐’…๐’” ๐’‚๐’” ๐’‚ ๐’Œ๐’Š๐’…?โฃ โฃ We totally played light as a feather stiff as a board growing up ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™ˆโฃ โฃ โฃ โฃ #TheDeadGirlsClub #CrookedLaneBooks #horror #thriller #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #mustread #comingsoon #goodbooks #creepyreads #bookstagram #booklover #bookreview #readingchemistreviews

Now, after an earlโ€™s very public rejection, it seems her ideal mate will be anyone but a duke, a marquis, a baron, or a viscount . . .โฃ โฃ Thankfully, there are no noblemen in sight at Betancourt, the country estate where Sarah takes refuge. Its rightful owner, the Duke of Meridian, sibling to Sarahโ€™s brother-in-law, has been absent for years. Accompanied by her bevy of beloved animals, Sarah delights in refurbishing the once-grand property. But even a self-assured frontier heiress needs help when greedy tenants are threatened by her presence . . .โฃ โฃ Out of nowhere, a stranger jumps into the fray when ruffians attack. Nothing about โ€œArt,โ€ the roguish interloperโ€”now recuperating in the ducal bedchamberโ€”smacks of nobility, with his brazen sensuality, worldly knowledge, and deeply seductive voice. Yet could he be the errant duke? If so, Sarah soon realizes this homecoming promises to be filled with unexpected challenges and passionate possibilities . . . โฃ โฃ โฃ โฃ โฃ #betinakrahn #Zebra #AnyoneButADuke #SinandSensibility #victorianromance #romance #tlcbooktours #tlcbooktourspartner #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #romancebooks #bookmail #booksofig #booksofinsta #bookpromo
