The Locked Door by Freida McFadden

 

Hello there Bookies,

I took a break from Twisted Love. It is taking a lot out of me to even get into it. So I thought a mystery thriller will do me good. I'm listening to another Freida McFadden book and it has been pretty good. Took me almost two whole days to finish the book. I have about an hour left in my audiobook. The book is about a young woman who is the daughter of a serial killer. She tries to live a normal life under a different name and forget the past. But something happens that makes her have to face it. Two of her patients, because she is a surgeon, ends up murdered. They were killed the same way as her father's victims before he was caught. Now police are pointing their fingers at her, thinking she has something to do with it. Even though she has expressed that she had nothing to do with it. But strange things are happening to her now that police are looking her way. She finds blood in her basement and a rotting hand in the trunk of her car. But instead of telling the officer about it like a normal person, she tries to cover it up. She gets rid of evidence because in her mind, no one is going to believe she is innocent with this stuff in her possession. The blood I can understand, but the hand is something she could have reported because she wasn't even in the state when it was planted. The whole book is trying to figure out who is trying to frame our main character while they copy her father's killings. I can't wait to find out but it is like one in the morning and I have to work in the morning. I guess the mystery won't be solved until after work tomorrow. Also this will probably be the only post I do about this book because I don't want to give away the ending. But I do recommend this book and it will probably either get four out of five stars or five out of five stars. I haven't quite decided yet.

So until next time...

Started reading Twisted Love by Ana Huang

 

Hello there Bookies,

I have another audiobook I'm listening to. It was this one that told me that my ear isn't quite healed when I put my headphones on. So this is going to take a while to read. I don't really remember anything about what this book is about and that is probably a good thing. I know it is a popular book since it is on the Lucky Day shelf at work. Also I had to wait a long while to finally get my hands on any version of the book. I'm just happy that I got the audiobook, but it couldn't have come at a worse time. Hopefully this whole ear thing will get better soon. But I bet you that this is going to follow the same formula as The Fine Print. You know the formula. Rich guy falls in love with average girl that changes his perspective on life. He messes it up and breaks the girl's heart. He begs for her to take him back and she does without a second thought. Then they live happily ever after. If that is how this book goes, I will not have anything to say about it because I would just be explaining every other romance book I've read. Wish me luck.

So until next time...

Finished reading The Fine Print

 

Hello Bookies,

I'm not quite healed yet, but I had a two days of an hour drive to a conference. So I took advantage of the opportunity. Nothing much really happens in the book other then the typical romance stuff. The two main characters try to be casual, but fall in love with each other. Even though they don't want to admit it. Then the guy gets scared and breaks it off with the girl with harsh words. The only thing I appreciate is that even though he said the right words, the girl didn't jump right back into his arms right away. She made him work for it. But eventually they get back together and get married. Then live a happily ever after. The typical romance trope. Again, I really wish I would find a book that would really mix it up a bit instead of following the usual storyline. It is getting really old. And, since this book follows every romance book I've read, it get two stars. I'm not saying that it isn't good, I'm just bored with how romance books follow the same formula. 

So until next time...

I'm sad

 Hey there Bookies,

I haven't been able to update any of the books I've been reading because I haven't been reading them. I'm trying to go through my audiobooks at the moment but something happened where I had to stop. With allergy season flourishing, I ended up with fluid trapped in my ears. Which is causing a lot of pain. The doctor has ordered me to not wear any kind of headphones until I no longer feel pain in my ears. Which means I can't listen to my audiobooks. My life feels empty and now I'm extremely bored. After a few days of allergy medicine and rest, I'm starting to feel better. I still have some pain, so still no headphones. This is probably the saddest moment of my reading life. I want to escape into my world of books but I can't because I can't wear headphones. Hopefully in the next few days I can get back to reading. Just thought I would update y'all on what is going on in my life.

So until next time...
