Gripping, shocking, thrilling, and hard to put down! The Liar I Married: A totally addictive psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist is a stand-alone book by D.K. Hood. If you have read one of my D.K. Hood’s fabulous series, then you know here wonderful writing, well thought out plots, and thrilling mysteries. In The Liar I Married: A totally addictive psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist she tells the story of a woman who was in a horrific accident comes out of a coma and no one will tell her what happened or where her children are.

Jessie wakes up to see a nurse standing over her bed. The nurse informs her that she has been in a car accident and is recuperating under her care. Initially Jessie has a very limited memory as to what led up to the accident and where she was going. She also wonders where her husband and children are currently. As the book progresses, readers are given snippets of Jessies life leading up to the accident. Readers learn of Jessie’s life with her husband who is seldom home and appears to be spending all his time with his co-worker, Rebecca. Readers also get to see Jessie and her road to recovery and her interactions with her husband and those who come to visit her.

D.K. Hood is a master at having readers wonder who is being honest, who is reliable and who is dishonest. I wrestled with you was the liar in this book. So many questions swirled through my head about the accident and about Jessie’s experiences both before the accident and while she was recovering. Just when she feels she has a handle on things, Jessie finds a note that tells her to not trust anyone.

I enjoyed the mounting tension, and the undercurrent of unease Jessie feels as she tries to piece together what happened to her, what she is currently experiencing, and the doubts swirling around in her mind. I felt for Jessie and her struggles to understand her current predicament and wrestle with her reality.

I enjoyed the two timelines and the unraveling of the well thought out plot. There were quite a few characters I wanted to throttle while reading this book. I thought D.K. Hood did a tremendous job of keeping readers and Jessie in the dark and trying to come up with answers.

Wonderfully written, well thought out, gripping and shocking!

*I had both the book and the audiobook. I thought the narrator of the audiobook did a great job of brining this book to life!

Gripping, mysterious, atmospheric, chilling, full of tension, twists, and reveals!!!! Dawn Merriman delivered with The Last Haunting: An unputdownable and utterly gripping paranormal mystery!!!!! I can’t believe that this is the 7th and last book in the Rylan Flynn series! It feels as if I just finished The Spirit Girls! Every book in this series was pure supernatural reading bliss! This book picks up where the events of the previous book, The Burning Soul, left off. Yes, yes, yes!!!!! Sometimes books in a series work well as stand-alone novels but I don’t believe this book would. I highly recommend beginning with the first book in the series and going for there. They are fast and thrilling books that are less than 300 pages. Most being in the low 200-page counts!

Rylan Flynn can see ghosts. She not only sees ghosts, but she helps to solve the mysteries behind how they died and to help them pass over. She has been living with her mother’s ghost for the entire series and she and her mother are both ready to find out how her mother died! Readers of the series have been waiting for this moment and Dawn Merriman gave fans of the series what we have been waiting for!!!!!! Thank you, Dawn! Whew! What a thrilling and chilling ride this series has been. This book also has Rylan dealing with her nemesis, Roland, an evil entity who has bad intentions and evil vibes.

A wonderful ending to an exciting, addictive, and fun series. I have enjoyed watching the character of Rylan evolve and grow. She has learned to trust, be vulnerable, let people in, and grow her relationships with others. I have also enjoyed watching her relationship with Detective Ford grow and transform as well. The mysteries have been wonderful, and I did not see the reveal in this book coming. I loved being shocked and seeing the storyline concerning her mother come full circle.

Such a wonderfully written and well thought out final additional to a wonderful series. It has been a pleasure, and I enjoyed the supernatural ride! All good things must come to an end and Dawn Merriman did her series, and fans of this series, proud. A final farewell was said and as the book closed, I was thankful for the time I spent being haunted by this book!

WOWZA!!! All the Ways You Save Me had me hook, line, and sinker from the very first page!!!!!! I loved this book! This is the 3rd book that I have read by Melissa Wiesner and they have all been 5 star reads! I love her wonderful writing, her well thought out plots, her use of settings, her vivid descriptions and for her fully fleshed out characters that I grow to care about!

Madeline met Adam after she and her mother moved to a new town. They quickly became high school sweethearts who spent all of their time together along with Jason, Adam’s best friend. Their futures were bright, they were happy, healthy and young! They had their whole lives ahead of them until one horrific night when Adam was lost in an accident.

It’s been ten years and now Madeline and Jason are busy planning their wedding. They bonded over their shared loss of Adam. Then Madeline is in an accident and the man who saves her looks-exactly-like-Adam!!!!!! But the man’s name is Garrett! But Madeline can’t get past how he looks exactly like Adam! Madeline can’t let this go…..

I was literally glued to the pages. I had both the book and audiobook and loved both. The narrators of the audiobook did a fabulous job of bringing the characters and this book to life! I loved the use of memory in this book. I also enjoyed the characters, their likeability, and I especially enjoyed Madeline’s search for the truth!

The setting is fantastic and I felt as if I was right there along with the characters due to Melissa Wiesner’s beautiful and vivid descriptions. I also enjoyed how the book is told in two timelines – when they met in high school and the present day. With romance books it is all about the journey and this was one incredible journey. This book managed to shock me a few times and I enjoyed the twists and turns that this book took. I did see a few of the reveals coming but that did not hinder my enjoyment of this book at all. This is the first book in a new series and it is off to a fantastic start!

Gripping, evoking emotion, beautifully written, and hard to put down! I can’t wait to read the next b book in the series!!!!

Highly Recommend!
