𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 & 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓⁣ ⁣ Today I’m on tour with @suzyapprovedbooktours for 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘴 by @rochwein (thank you @getredpr for my gifted copy!) ⁣ ⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘴 was my first foray into Rochelle Weinstein’s writing and it most certainly will not be my last. This story was heartbreakingly beautiful that left me in a puddle of tears.⁣ ⁣ Charley and Philip should be enjoying the highs of their engagement, but with Philip’s constant absence due to work travel. In Philip’s absence, Charley begins spending time with Ben, a widowed father. Charley begins to question if she wants a life with an absent husband or if she needs more.⁣ ⁣ Now, you may be thinking that this is just another love triangle/affair type of story. I’ll be honest, I did. But, my god, it’s not. The characters were incredible. The story evokes so many emotions, and there were certain parts where I had to put the book down just to cry. This book is so incredibly raw and honest, and makes you question everything you think you know about relationships and people’s motives. ⁣ ⁣ Available now for Amazon Prime members! Coming January 1st!⁣ ⁣ Rating: 5/5 ⭐️’s⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕨𝕒𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕥 𝕓𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕞𝕒𝕕𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #ThisIsNowHowItEnds #RochelleWeinstein #suzyapprovedbooktours #lakeunionpublishing #bionicbookbabes #bookwineandmetime #booksharks #mustread #greatbooks #emotionalreads #womensfiction #romancebooks #contemporaryromance #chicklit #bookreview #bookblogger #blogger #readingchemistreviews

𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓡𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀⁣ ⁣ The Dead Girls Club by @dawalters (thank you to @crookedlanebooks for my #freebook).⁣ ⁣ It’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 it’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 dead…and it’s Heather’s fault.⁣ ⁣ Heather hasn’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 Becca’s half of their once best friends forever heart charm necklace. Who could have sent the necklace? Is someone trying to blackmail Heather? ⁣ ⁣ 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 Heather’s current life still maintained the suspense, but Heather’s paranoia and stress were a lot. There were times that I just wanted to shake some sense into her.⁣ ⁣ 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.⁣ ⁣ Grab your copy December 10th!⁣ ⁣ Rating: 4/5 ⭐️’s⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒓 𝒖𝒓𝒃𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒌𝒊𝒅?⁣ ⁣ We totally played light as a feather stiff as a board growing up 🤣🙈⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #TheDeadGirlsClub #CrookedLaneBooks #horror #thriller #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #mustread #comingsoon #goodbooks #creepyreads #bookstagram #booklover #bookreview #readingchemistreviews

❄️ It’s already December! 😱 ❄️⁣ ⁣ 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 (𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩)?⁣ ⁣ Today I’ve partnered with @kensingtonbooks & @tlcbooktours to tell you about Anyone But a Duke by Betina Krahn.⁣ ⁣ New York Times bestselling author Betina Krahn delivers an irresistible romance shimmering with light-hearted wit and thrilling twists . . .⁣ ⁣ The youngest of four spirited American sisters, Sarah Bumgarten has studiously avoided her mother’s attempts to find her a titled husband among London’s aristocracy. Now, after an earl’s very public rejection, it seems her ideal mate will be anyone but a duke, a marquis, a baron, or a viscount . . .⁣ ⁣ 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 Sarah’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 . . .⁣ ⁣ Out of nowhere, a stranger jumps into the fray when ruffians attack. Nothing about “Art,” the roguish interloper—now recuperating in the ducal bedchamber—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 . . . ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #betinakrahn #Zebra #AnyoneButADuke #SinandSensibility #victorianromance #romance #tlcbooktours #tlcbooktourspartner #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #romancebooks #bookmail #booksofig #booksofinsta #bookpromo
