A romance novel–obsessed social media influencer revisits her exes on her hunt for true love in this romantic comedy from the author of Set On You.
Romance-novel connoisseur Tara Chen has had her heart broken ten times by ten different men–all of whom dumped her because of her “stage-five clinger” tendencies. Nevertheless, Tara is determined to find The One. The only problem? Classic meet-cutes are dead thanks to modern dating apps. So Tara decides to revisit her exes in hopes of securing her very own trope-worthy second-chance romance.
Boston firefighter Trevor Metcalfe will be the first to rush into a burning building but the last to rush into a relationship. Love just isn’t his thing. When his new roommate Tara enlists him to help her reconnect with her exes, he reluctantly agrees. But Tara’s journey is leading him to discover his own new chapter.
The more time they spend together, the more Tara realizes Trevor seems to be the only one who appreciates her authentic, dramatic self. To claim their happily-ever-after, can Tara and Trevor read between the lines of their growing connection?
2nd Day of the Book Challenge and today I will be talking about Exes and O’s by Amy Lea.
This is the second book of the Influencer series, following the story of Tara Chen, Crystal Chen’s sister and Trevor Metcalfe who is Crystal’s fiancé Scott’s former roommate. Tara moves in as Trevor’s roommate when Scott moves in to live with Crystal. Tara is devastated after her engagement with Seth went downhill. She is also an avid romance reader. Tara decides to set up the list of ex-boyfriends that she hoped she would get back together with the help of Trevor. But then soon, a romance blossoms between Trevor and Tara.
You could read this as a standalone–I haven’t read the first book of the series yet but I am hoping to get that soon. The story is told mainly from Tara’s POV. I really like how Tara’s relationship with Trevor turned from friendship to romance. There were some funny parts in the book that will make you laugh out loud and if you are someone who loves reading romance books, then you could definitely have a connection with Tara. However, like most romance novels, this book was predictable and I felt like watching a soap opera drama while reading it. So overall, this was a OK book–worth 3.5 stars.

Lee Gulliver never thought she’d find herself living on the streets—no one ever does—but when her restaurant fails, and she falls deeper into debt, she leaves her old life behind with nothing but her clothes and her Toyota Corolla. In Seattle, she parks in a secluded spot by the beach to lay low and plan her next move—until early one morning, she sees a sobbing woman throw herself into the ocean. Lee hauls the woman back to the surface, but instead of appreciation, she is met with fury. The drowning woman, Hazel, tells her that she wanted to die, that she’s trapped in a toxic, abusive marriage, that she’s a prisoner in her own home. Lee has thwarted her one chance to escape her life.
Out of options, Hazel retreats to her gilded cage, and Lee thinks she’s seen the last of her, until her unexpected return the next morning. Bonded by disparate but difficult circumstances, the women soon strike up a close and unlikely friendship. And then one day, Hazel makes a shocking she wants Lee to help her disappear. It’ll be easy, Hazel assures her, but Lee soon learns that nothing is as it seems, and that Hazel may not be the friend Lee thought she was.
The book club I am in chose this book for August reads and so I was excited to read this book.
This is the first time I am reading from this author and I have to say, I was actually impressed with this book. From the start until the end, the book was fast-paced, full of unexpected twists and turns and OMG moments. The story is told from Lee, who became homeless after being impacted by the pandemic and that her restaurant was closed with mountains of debts in her wake and Hazel, a high society woman who is being controlled and abused by her powerful husband. Both the women meet when Lee saves Hazel from drowning and Hazel would often bring morning food to Lee. However, when Hazel confided Lee about her abuse, they hatch a plan to escape together but Lee realizes that Hazel is hiding secrets.
It was interesting to read from both the women’s POV. The story was well written in fact the author manage to grab our reader’s attention and kept us hooked into the book. There were some disturbing moments in the book but nonetheless it was I felt as if I was watching an interesting movie. Basically in general this book talks a lot about domestic violence. I felt more connected towards Lee than towards Hazel that I really want Lee to get a chance of living a happy life instead of being homeless. The ending I felt wasn’t really good–I felt the ending was rushed, which actually lowered my rating from a five star to a four star.
So if you are looking for a thriller that will keep you hook from beginning to end, I recommend this book to you–worth four stars!

ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED NOVELS OF 2023 – “A bravura feat of storytelling…a daring and completely satisfying mystery.” –James Patterson, #1 best-selling author
A PULSE-POUNDING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER ABOUT A SERIAL KILLER NARRATED BY THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM: HIS 13-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, HIS GIRLFRIEND–AND THE ONE VICTIM HE HAS SPARED.
“All…of the expected suspense and psychological tension, but offering a story about women—the ones who didn’t know the evil that lurked within, the ones who tried to placate or fight but still perished, the ones who might actually survive. Haunting but never prurient…truly unforgettable.” — Alafair Burke, author of The Wife
Aidan Thomas is a hard-working family man and a somewhat beloved figure in the small upstate town where he lives: he’s the kind of man who always lends a hand and has a good word for everyone. But Aidan has a dark secret he’s been keeping from everyone in town and those closest to him: he’s a kidnapper and serial killer. Aidan has murdered eight women and there’s a ninth he has earmarked for death: Rachel, imprisoned in a backyard shed fearing for her life.
When Aidan’s wife dies, he and his 13-year-old daughter Cecilia are forced to move. Aidan has no choice but to bring Rachel along, introducing her to Cecilia as a “family friend” who needs a place to stay. After five years of captivity, Aidan is betting on Rachel being too brainwashed and fearful to attempt to escape. But Rachel is a fighter and survivor, and recognizes Cecilia might just be the lifeline she has waited for all these years. As Rachel tests the boundaries of her new living situation, she begins to form a tenuous connection with Cecilia. And when Emily, a local restaurant owner, develops a crush on the handsome widower, she finds herself drawn into Rachel and Cecilia’s orbit, coming dangerously close to discovering Aidan’s secret.
Told through the perspectives of Rachel, Cecilia, and Emily, The Quiet Tenant explores the psychological impact of Aidan’s crimes on the women in his life-and the bonds between those women that give them the strength to fight back. Both a searing thriller and an astute study of trauma, survival, and the dynamics of power, The Quiet Tenant is an electrifying debut thriller by a major talent.
This is the debut book of Clemence Michallon and is the most anticipated psychological thrillers. I managed to get a copy of Kindle and thought to give this book a try.
It does deserve to be the most anticipated psychological thriller but there are some hiccups that lowered my rating from a five star to a four star.
This is the story of three women centered about a single person–Aidan Thomas. To outsiders, Aidan is smart, handsome blue-eyed man and is respected by many. But inside, he holds a dark secret–he is a serial killer.
The three women are Rachel, Cecelia and Emily. Rachel, who we know her as “The Woman” as that’s not really her name has been held captive by Aidan and is one of those few lucky ones to be spared from murder. Cecelia is a thirteen-year-old daughter of Aidan and Emily is a restaurant owner who falls in love with Aidan. The story is told from these three women POV’s.
The writing was good and I have to say the author is a very talented writer. The plot of the story is really great–there were some gripping parts in the book. Reading Rachel’s POV was emotional and sad and I am glad that this is one of the books where we focus more on the victim and not on the killer (most of the times, we tend to forget the victims and glorify the serial killer). But there are ones that made me give this book lower to four stars. I did not like the character of Emily at all. I feel Emily is stalkerish, stalking after Aidan but maybe the author did that to give an air of feeling that Emily is going to find Aidan’s dark secret soon. The ending wasn’t so much great–even though I like how the author outlined Rachel (Rachel is the main protagonist here), I wish I know if Emily was intended to be the next victim of Aidan, or the potential to become the next wife of Aidan.
Overall, this book is fast-paced and will keep you hooked till the end–worth four stars!

Four years ago, Brynn left Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favorite teacher—a story that made headlines after the teacher’s body was found by three Saint Ambrose students in the woods behind their school. The case was never solved. Now that Brynn is moving home and starting her dream internship at a true-crime show, she’s determined to find out what really happened.
The kids who found Mr. Larkin are her way in, and her ex–best friend, Tripp Talbot, was one of them. Without his account of events, the other two kids might have gone down for Mr. Larkin’s murder—but instead, thanks to Tripp, they’re now at the top of the Saint Ambrose social pyramid. Tripp’s friends have never forgotten what Tripp did for them that day, and neither has he. Just like he hasn’t forgotten that everything he told the police was a lie.
Digging into the past is bound to shake up the present, and when Brynn begins to investigate what happened in the woods that day, she uncovers secrets that might change everything—about Saint Ambrose, about Mr. Larkin, and about her ex-best friend, Tripp Talbot.
Four years ago someone got away with murder. More terrifying is that they might be closer than anyone thinks.
This is I think about the fifth book I have read of Karen McManus.
The story starts with Brynn who returns back to St. Andrews and working for a true crime newspaper. She was determined to find out what really happened to Mr. Larkin, who was her eighth-grade teacher and who was found murdered in the woods. His body was found by three other students–Tripp, Shane and Charlotte, Tripp being Brynn’s friend. And Brynn with her investigative journalistic skills start investigating what really happened to Mr. Larkin on that day.
The story is told mainly from Brynn’s and Tripp’s POV. It started out interesting but it kind of grew a little boring although it started getting interesting and gaining momentum towards the end. I do like how Brynn and Tripp couldn’t get along with each other and in the end romance develops between the two. I also like the action and all the drama that is described towards the end. There’s still a cliffhanger in the end, as still the person who murdered Mr. Larkin is not solved yet and I thought the ending was a little confusing.

Color explodes in the night sky, every boom and spray of lights getting louder cheers from the happy crowd. But two little girls are hiding in fear. “I want my mommy,” Abby whispers. A tear falls down her cheek as she clutches her sister’s hand and darkness finally falls…
When six-year-old Abby and nine-year-old Thea are snatched from a crowd at a fireworks display, Detective Nikki Hunt is determined to return the sweet sisters, with golden curls and laughing smiles, to their desperate mother Britney . The last person to see them alive witnessed the girls being led towards the docks by someone they seemed to know.As Nikki begins her interviews, she’s shocked to learn that Britney has a dark secret .
Ten years ago she ran away from Thea’s biological father, a man Britney claims was controlling and dangerous. Certain he must have taken the girls, Nikki urges the state troopers in nearby Thief River Falls to search the isolated ranch where he lives. But he is devastated to hear the girls are missing, and had no idea that Thea was even his daughter…
Then a witness comes forward claiming they saw a young boy clutching Thea’s little pink backpack at the fireworks. Nikki knows he’s the key to finding the girls alive, but she has no idea that someone on her team will do anything to keep his identity a secret. Unable to trust those closest to her, can Nikki unravel the truth and save Thea and Abby before their innocent lives are lost? An absolutely gripping and totally addictive thriller from USA Today bestseller Stacy Green that will keep you racing through the pages all night long.
Fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh will devour this thriller in one sitting!
Agent Nikki Hunt is back with another case–this time the case involved the disappearance of young girls.
Thea and Abby goes missing when their mother Brittney went to the restroom–the family were watching the fireworks. Nikki Hunt was also at the scene when the girls were discovered to be missing. Initially, the main suspect was Britnney’s ex-husband who also happened to be Thea’s biological father involved in a cult that believes in polygamy. She believes that her ex-husband may have kidnapped her daughters. However soon, Nikki Hunt realizes that the ex-husband may not be involved but Britnney’s current husband may have something to do with the disappearance. Thea’s body was found and Nikki knew that she must find Abby before it was too late.
This was a fast-paced thriller–abductions of children actually will make you feel like you are on the edge. As I mentioned in the above, there were so many suspects and so it wasn’t clear who could be the abductor–which is a good thing as the reader was kept in suspense. There were some twists and turns and the ending was totally unexpected. I always read Nikki Hunt series as this series is one of my favorite series so far and the author did not disappoint me at all with this book–cannot wait for the next case! Worth five stars!

Jay and I have only known each other a short while, but whenever I gaze into his deep green eyes I tell him he’s the one. His little house by the deep forest’s edge is perfect for the two of us – there’s no internet, no phone signal, and no neighbours. I’m about as far from my past as I could be. No one knows where we are, and I need to keep it that way.
He wants me to stay here where he can keep me safe from the outside world. I don’t question him, I won’t challenge him. I have him exactly where I want him. He has to think I’m the perfect girlfriend, far better than the one before. Because I know what he did.
All I have to do now is play my part and bide my time. So I tell myself Jay doesn’t have a clue who I really am. I’ve been so careful. Haven’t I?
A completely addictive psychological thriller packed with incredible twists you won’t see coming. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Split, and The Serial Killer’s Wife.
This book kind of gave a hippie feeling throughout the book.
Lauren meets Jay at a music festival and it was a passionate love affair at the first sight. Lauren moves in to live with Jay and as soon as she moved in, Jay started the things that Lauren owned to get money. Lauren finds out about a girl named Ruth who was Jay’s ex-girlfriend. But Lauren wants to know what really happened to her friend Nell who also happened to know Jay.
This was kind of slow paced but nonetheless it was actually a good story. It has sort of a creepy feeling, like a serial-killer vibe in it, although there is no serial killers in the book. There were some twists and turns but towards the middle and towards the end is where the story started getting juicier and more interesting that I couldn’t wait to see what is going to happen in the end. Jay has gorgeous green eyes while Lauren has luscious black hair–description that seem to embed the reader. The ending was unexpected so overall, I actually enjoyed reading this book. I cannot believe that this was the author’s debut book and cannot wait to read more of her books! Overall, this book worth five stars!

Hayley Smith is married with three children and lives in a north Derbyshire village. She has worked as a graphic designer, youth worker and musician, and has been involved for many years in organising music festivals and gigs. She studied English Language and Creative Writing with the Open University and is an avid reader of psychological fiction. Having a penchant for all things alternative, she often dips into the counter-culture scene for writing inspiration, producing quirky rough-edged characters and dark, unpredictable twists, turns and moral dilemmas.
There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison:
1) Treat all prisoners with respect.
2) Never reveal any personal information.
3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.
But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates.And they certainly don’t know that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the star quarterback who is now spending the rest of his life in prison for a series of grisly murders.
Or that Brooke’s testimony was what put him there. But Shane knows. And he will never forget.
Have you read the Housemaid’s Secret by Freida McFadden? If you haven’t, you should check it out as it took me only 48 hours for me to finish that book! So this book, the Inmate is also written by the same author but I feel this book wasn’t as good as the Housemaid’s Secret.
The good things about this book is, the story divides between the present and the past, a murder that happened eleven years ago when Brooke testified against her boyfriend Shane that puts him into Riker Prison. The “go” was there in the book, meaning it was quiet a page turner. The epilogue part was kind of unexpected.
The bad thing about this book is, this was highly predictable and unrealistic in my opinion. Brooke was one of those stupidest and naive characters I have ever read (who would want to work in a prison where your ex-boyfriend whom you testified against is locked up in that prison???). I feel like you are watching a horror/slasher movie. Someone in the Goodreads review commented on how this book is very similar to the movie Scream and yes, I agree with that comment. If you have watched the movie Scream and then read this book, you will find some similarities between the book and the movie (won’t give further details)
Overall, this book worth 3.5 stars!
#1 Amazon bestselling author Freida McFadden is a practicing physician specializing in brain injury who has penned multiple Kindle bestselling psychological thrillers and medical humor novels. She lives with her family and black cat in a centuries-old three-story home overlooking the ocean, with staircases that creak and moan with each step, and nobody could hear you if you scream.

Escape to candy-coloured Seaspray Cottage on the Cornish coast, with its stunning views of honeycomb sand beaches and aquamarine seas, where Ava is about to make a brave new start…
When Ava Morrow’s beloved father Jack is killed on his lifeboat at sea, the Cornish village of Port Promise unites in grief. Jack’s twinkling eyes and warm smile are remembered by the whole village, and Ava is determined that he will never be forgotten.
Inspired to follow in her father’s footsteps, Ava quits her job and begins to train as a lifeboat volunteer, alongside her best friend Harry , who was with Ava’s father the night he died. As they work side by side every day, Ava begins to see Harry, with his sea-green eyes and his sandy blonde hair, in a different light. Ava’s mother and sisters are worried about Ava’s safety and want her to stop, and Harry is the only person who really understands what she needs to do. Still, she pushes her feelings to one side, afraid to risk their friendship.
But when, one summer’s evening, Harry reveals a tragic secret about the night that Jack died, Ava’s world is turned upside down once more. Will his secret drive her away from him and the new life she loves?
If you love golden sands and crystal waters, picture-perfect Cornish villages and books by Jessica Redland, Jo Bartlett and Nicola May, you will fall in love with this romantic, heartbreaking read.
The first few parts of the story was gripping. The story starts with Ava’s father being killed while in the sea and Ava wanted to follow her father’s footsteps. However when one of her childhood best friends reveal a secret, Ava’s life seemed to have turned upside down.
I really enjoy reading Tilly Tennant’s books and so far, this book is one of my favorites. I do like the bond that was shared between Ava and her sisters and so it was interesting to read about their sisterly bond with each other. This was a long book but nonetheless you can read it in one sitting. You can actually feel sorry for Ava and I liked reading about Ava’s relationship with Henry. I do like the descriptions of the village and that made me as a reader feel like I was a part of the story. Overall, thi book worth five stars!
Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

In the tiny village of Port Promise, where the wind tangles your hair and the cobbled streets twist down to the honeycomb beaches, Clara Morrow is planning her wedding.
After a whirlwind romance, Clara is excitedly planning her wedding to her handsome fiancé Logan in the picture-perfect Cornish village of Port Promise, with her mother and three sisters at her side.
She will never forget the day when she first caught sight of artist Logan, the sea-mist curling the ends of his dark hair, as he strode across the gorse-covered cliffs near the village. She feels so lucky that Logan seems happy to make her home his own, painting on the windswept Cornish beaches and calling in for lunch at the fish shack where she works with her best friend.
But when Logan inherits a beautiful house in London and reveals that he wants them to build a life there, it’s a huge shock for Clara. She knows it could be an amazing new start, but when she thinks about leaving her family behind, her heart aches.
Suddenly it seems like she and Logan have very different dreams. Can they find a way back to their happy ever after or will the mismatched lives they want threaten everything they have built together?
A beautiful heartbreaking read about love, life and starting again, Second Chances for the Lifeboat Sisters will whisk you away to a place where you can watch the sun set and feel the sand beneath your toes.
This is the second book of the series and this time, the focus is on Ava’s sister, Clara.
Clara is planning a wedding after a whirlwind romance to Logan with her sisters and her mother at her side. But her fiance, Logan inherits a house in London and wanted to start their new chapter there. However, even though Clara wanted to move to London, the thought of moving away from her family overwhelmed her. Now it seems that both Clara and Logan each have different dreams so can they have a happily ever after?
You first get to know Clara in the first book, but you don’t have to read the first book in order for you to read this book. Once again, I was transported back to the dainty Cornish village, the small town of Port Promise. The vivid descriptions of the place made me feel as if I was also living in this scenic Cornish village. This time the focus is more on towards Clara and personally, I like Clara more than I did towards Ava. She has to make a decision if she wanted to leave Port Promise or not but I wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t want to leave! I do like the sibling relationship and her relationship with her own mother.
So overall, I rate this book as five stars!

From a young age, Tilly Tennant was convinced that she was destined for the stage. Once she realised she wasn’t actually very good at anything that would put her on the stage, she started to write stories instead. There were lots of terrible ones, like The Pet Rescue Gang (aged eight), which definitely should not see the light of day ever again. Thankfully, her debut novel, Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn was not one of those, and since it hit the Amazon best seller lists she hasn’t looked back. Born in Dorset, she currently lives in Staffordshire with her husband, two daughters, three guitars, four ukuleles, two violins and a kazoo.
‘I’m sorry, Sam’s not available,’ says the woman who answers my husband’s phone. I can’t place her voice, so I politely ask who she is. Her answer sends my world spinning out of ‘I’m his wife.’I know I want to marry Sam the moment I meet him. After I lost my beloved mother so suddenly, this charming, softly spoken architect with his deep-brown eyes is just the fresh start I’ve been searching for.I’m delighted to be expecting our first child before we’ve even had a chance to plan a honeymoon. I want our family to work so I try to ignore his long work trips. I turn a blind eye to the private calls he takes and I listen to his excuses about why the money keeps disappearing from my bank account. After all, he has no idea what I’ve been doing in our house whilst he’s away or how I really made that money.Then I find out Sam’s got more to hide than I ever imagined was possible. Because my husband is leading a double life. He’s already married to someone else.But what Sam doesn’t know is that he’s not the only person keeping secrets.And he has no idea how far I’ll go to protect myself…A totally unputdownable, twisty, will-leave-you-gasping story of marriage, guilt and lies. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins, you will not be able to sleep until you’ve finished every last page of The Bigamist.
This was such a great psychological thriller!!
The story starts with Emma meeting a man named Sam and the two start a relationship. Soon Emma gets pregnant and one day when she calls Sams number, a woman answered the phone claiming she is Sams wife. Is Sam leading a double life?
This was a fast paced thriller with lots of unexpected twists and turns. The author has written very well that the reader feel like they are watching some thriller movie and being on the edge of the seat. All characters are highly unreliable and untrustworthy which made the story bit compelling as to who is actually telling the truth. Emma is an unreliable character and so this made the story enjoyable. The ending to me was a bit confusing but unexpected. Overall this thriller worth five stars!
