ℙ𝕦𝕓 𝔻𝕒𝕪 𝕊𝕡𝕠𝕥𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥⁣ ⁣ Happy Tuesday everyone! Another Tuesday means more new book releases!!⁣ ⁣ Today I’ve partnered with @BookSparks for the pop up tour of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 by @meggardiner1 (thank you @blackstonepublishing for my gifted copy!). ⁣ ⁣ This is the third installment in the wildly popular UNSUB series! If police procedurals and thrillers are your jam, you NEED this series! ⁣ ⁣ 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙤?⁣ ⁣ I’m starting UNSUB this week, so I can get to this haunting beauty soon 😍⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #BookSparks #booksharks #UNSUB #MegGardiner #policeprocedural #thriller ⁣

Happy Monday everyone!⁣ ⁣ Over the weekend, I finished Death in the Family by @tessawegert (huge thank you to @berkleypub for my gifted copy #partner). ⁣ ⁣ Calling all fans of Agatha Christie and Clue, Death in the Family is a classic murder mystery/whodunit wrought with a chilling atmosphere, suspense, secrets, and betrayal.⁣ ⁣ Our female protagonist, former NYPD detective Shana Merchant, is broken. 13 months prior, she was abducted by a serial killer, which left her with trust issues and PTSD. Shana and her fiance Carson relocated to Thousand Islands in upstate NY to escape the horrors of her past since nothing really happens in this sleepy town. ⁣ ⁣ Shana and her partner Tim are called to the Sinclair mansion, which is located on it's own private island, after Jasper Sinclair has gone missing. His girlfriend Abbey woke up to pool of Jasper's blood, but Jasper's body is nowhere to be found. With the nor'easter storm in full force, Shana and Tim are cut off from all resources including CSI. It's up to the two of them to solve this murder before the murderer can get away or worse, attack again. ⁣ ⁣ While this murder mystery is considered a slow-burn by thriller standards, I found the plot to be propulsive and compelling. As Shana and Tim conducted the interviews, there were so many twists and turns along the way, which included a few red herrings. I personally didn’t see the final reveal coming, which I loved.⁣ ⁣ I loved the development of Shana’s character throughout the entire story. We watch her progress from a timid, shell of her previous self to someone who is determined and self-assured. The flashbacks to Shana’s abduction were also fascinating as they provide deeper insight as to what she endured. There are still some unanswered questions, so I can’t wait to see how she continues to develop in the future.⁣ ⁣ Be sure to pick up your copy when this book releases tomorrow!⁣ ⁣ Rating: 4/5 ⭐️’s⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #QOTD: What is your favorite murder mystery or thriller?

𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓢𝓹𝓸𝓽𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 & 𝓣𝓸𝓾𝓻 ⁣ ⁣ Oh hey, look at me doing back to back double features today 💁🏽‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Today I’m on tour with @tlcbooktours to tell you about ᑭᖇOᑭEᖇTY Oᖴ TᕼE ᔕTᗩTE by @allthingskikiswinson (thank you @kensingtonbooks for my gifted copy!). ⁣ ⁣ Synopsis:⁣ Kiki Swinson’s novels crackle with breakneck triple-twists, no-limits characters, and an unforgettably brutal portrayal of Southern life. Now she shatters all expectations as a young woman serving time must survive a prisoner-abuse conspiracy . . .⁣ ⁣ Trust no one ⁣ She killed her abusive boyfriend in self-defense. But in jail, violent female gangs paid off by her enemies keep her fearing for her life—and land her in the hospital. From there, a medical testing facility is her one dubious hope for some kind of safety.⁣ ⁣ Watch your back⁣ But from the moment she hits the yard, she and other prisoners are victimized by illegal medical experiments. Injected with lethal diseases and made a test subject for experimental vaccines, she’s clinging to determination by the slimmest thread—until she forms an alliance with a Corrections Officer.⁣ ⁣ Survive the night⁣ Now she’s got unexpected help—and thanks to the CO, a risky plan to escape. But her only way out means racking up bodies. And as lethal obstacles pile ever higher, she soon may not have any future to save.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #QOTD: 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝-𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬?⁣ ⁣ I honestly love both. If a series is well developed and continues to get back with each book, bring it. I also love a good stand alone because you typically get closure quicker. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #KikiSwinson #TheBlackMarketSeries #suspense #pageturner #tlcbooktours

𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓢𝓹𝓸𝓽𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 & 𝓣𝓸𝓾𝓻 ⁣ ⁣ Happy Sunday friends!⁣ ⁣ Today I’m on tour with @tlcbooktours to tell you about 𝑨 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝑬𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 by Anna Belfrage (thank you @troubador_publishing for my gifted copy! ). ⁣ ⁣ Synopsis:⁣ According to Helle Madsen, being the protagonist of a time-spanning epic love story has some things going for it, primarily Jason Morris. Because seriously, meeting up with your fated lover after 3,000 years apart is not bad–at all. Unfortunately, where Jason goes, there goes Sam Woolf, yet another very, very ancient acquaintance–with the fundamental difference that Sam is not into Happily Ever After. He’s into destruction, more specifically of Jason and Helle.⁣ ⁣ Helle may believe in second-chance love, but she sure doesn’t believe in reincarnation. Okay, she didn’t believe in stuff like that until she met Jason Morris a year or so ago. By now, she has accepted that sometimes impossible things are quite, quite possible–like an ancient princess being reborn as an ambitious financial analyst.⁣ ⁣ Finding Jason was like finding the part of her that had always been missing–a perfect match. But handling Sam Woolf, the reborn version of their ancient nemesis is something of a trial. No sooner do you have him well and surely beat, but up he bounces again. Sheesh, will it take an oak stake to permanently rid their lives of him?⁣ ⁣ Sam Woolf is a powerful adversary. Too powerful, even. Jason and Helle will need help from unexpected quarters to finally bring this tangled, ancient love-and-hate triangle to some sort of conclusion. Question is, will they survive the experience?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #QOTD: 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙮?⁣ ⁣ We’re just getting home from our awesome cabin getaway, so I plan on just reading and relaxing for the day 😍⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #AnnaBelfrage #AFlameThroughEternity #timeslip #steamyromance #romanticsuspense #tlcbooktours
