Finished reading The Only One Left

 

Hello Bookies,

This book took me for a loop. I couldn't even put it down most of the time. Honestly I finished this book a few days ago but it took me for a spin that I needed time to process all that I read. This book has a few twists that I can't tell you about because it would ruin everything in the book. But the whole time you are trying to figure out who killed the three family members of Lenora Hope. Everyone thinks that Lenora Hope murdered everyone, but did she really? And, if she did, why? This book is told in two different point of views. We have our leading lady Kat or Kit. I can't remember because it has been so long. And the other point of view is a typed message or story by Lenora Hope. This book will give you a lot of theories and the ending will be something you never saw coming. I do recommend this book for those that love those mystery thrillers. I give this book a four out of five stars. Highly recommend.

So until next time....

Started reading The Only One Left by Riley Sager

    

                                                  

Hello Bookies,

I'm off to reading another book for my challenge and are we even surprised that it is yet another Riley Sager book? This one takes place in Maine. I've only read a few chapters and I am curious as to what is going one. I haven't quiet figured out if it is two different time periods or two different point of views. Guess I will have to read more to solve that mystery. Also there is the mystery of trying to figure out if the town rumors are true or not. Did Lerona Hope murder her whole family, or did someone else do it? I know we are following Kit who is going to be Lerona's new caretaker and I'm sure she will be the one to find out the truth behind Hope's End. Wish me luck.

So until next time....

Hello there Bookies,

I'm using a different cover than the one I had because I'm making this post at work. Even with my busy schedule, I was able to finish this book. I may have fallen asleep a few times reading it because I am a very busy lady. Anyway the book was okay. It may be a little too over hyped for my tastes. Like I said, I'm looking for a romance novel that goes off of the normal formula used for every romance novel. You know the type. Rich, self made multimillionaire, with an IQ of a genius, and a tragic past that gives him a heart of stone. Then he meets a girl that makes him feels different, denies it at first but then gives in by having explosive spicy time, then guy does something to push the girl away, girl is heartbroken, guy begs for girl to give him a second chance, then we all live happily ever after. I basically just described the book by explaining the formula of a romance novel. To me that book being a typical romance novel is boring. The only interesting part is when he is faced with his uncle after learning the truth. By the way, it is so predictable on what goes on in the book. Also I don't see this book as dark romance. I've read some dark romance and compared to those, this one is mild. Spice is also a bit mild. Not as good as I was led to believe, but I already knew that the formula would ruin the book for me anyway. Book gets at least two out of five stars. It is an okay book, just not for me.

So until next time...

Let's Get Personal #16

 Hello there Bookies,

I'm reading as fast as I can. Between work and my personal life, things have been crazy busy. My reading challenge is pretty much a bust but I did get some books off of my TBR list and that was the goal. August isn't over yet, but I don't think I can read 43 books in three weeks. But not too bad for trying though. Also playing video games to unwind doesn't help either. Sometimes I just need to do something mind numbing to just destress from the world. My fall challenge isn't as long as my summer one but it is pretty close. We are getting into spooky season and to enjoy the fall I'll be reading a list of horror themed books. One of the books I already have, so I already know what book I'll be diving into first, but it is a secret until the horror book challenge begins. Hopefully for the fall challenge I'll be a little more successful and life won't be as crazy. I know life will be a little bit easier once this murder mystery tea party at work is finally over. It's been taking a lot of my time.

So until next time....

Reading Twisted Love by Ana Huang

 

Hello Bookies,

I've tried reading this book before but I wasn't into reading two of the same genre since I had just finished reading The Fine Print, so I put it away. Now I'm going to try to read the book. I did have the audiobook but I'm not into audiobooks right now. So it is physically reading is what I'm going to do. It does take a little bit longer depending on the book but it helps me focus a little bit more. All I remember out of the few chapters I was able to listen to is that we have out leading lady Ava lives next door to her brother and I guess she is a photographer. She has a love hate relationship with her brother's best friend Alex, our leading man. Alex is a self made millionaire before age thirty and he is very cold. His whole family is dead and that is pretty much all I know. Or, at least remember. Anyway Ava's brother is leaving to go to Central America, I think, and he has asked his best friend to keep an eye on Ava while he is away. So Alex moves in next door into her brother's place and the drama begins. Drama being that Alex is taking his favor a little too seriously and literally hunts Ava down to find her doing a photoshoot in lingerie, making his freak out. He ends up threatening the photographer, deletes the photos, and now Ava is very upset with him. Let's see if this book actually gets more interesting as people say it does.

So until next time....

Finished reading Middle of the Night

 

Hello there Bookies,

I had a time limit with this book and I read it as fast as a could. I'm glad that I read the book though. The two different time periods is what I love about this book. You have the mystery of the present and the past giving you different points of view on what happened during the time the mystery took place. I wish I could tell you all that happens in the book but it would ruin all of its secrets. I will say that the reveal is very dramatic but the actual story of what really happened isn't that dramatic. In fact, it is just someone making a very bad decision. I would recommend this book to people if they like the whole mystery and trying to figure out who did it and why. The book will get a solid four stars out of five stars from me. 

So until next time....
