Best Friends Forever

Best Friends Forever is a page turner… You may think you know how this story is going to end. But trust me, you don't.’
Amy Engel, author of The Roanoke Girls
‘Margot Hunt's thriller kept me guessing till the very end.’
Peter Swanson, the Sunday Times Bestselling author of The Kind Worth Killing
Can you ever truly trust your friends?
Alice thought she knew everything about her best friend Kat, from the secrets of her wealthy family to the fact that behind closed doors Kat’s husband Howard is a drunk and a bully.
But now Howard has been found dead, having plunged to his death from the balcony of their highly desirable mansion, and the police are convinced he’s been murdered.
So why in her time of need has Kat stopped answering Alice’s phone calls and texts. Why won’t Kat’s family allow Alice to visit her anymore? And why are the detectives looking directly at Alice in relation to Howard’s death?
Perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor and B A Paris, this fantastic page turning thriller will have you demanding who needs enemies when you’ve got friends like these…


Thank you netgalley for this early approval, i was so happy to not only read, but review this book! It will be released in Jan 2018!! Go pre order now because this is seriously the hot new book to come out!


As the description says Alice thought she knew Kat, they have been friends for years, and shared every secret, no matter how horrible or nasty. Suddenly Kat's husband is dead, and the police are at Alice's door... what happened and why the hell isn't Kat answering any calls or texts?

The plot is incredible! There are so many twist and turns, that you never know what is truly going to happen until the very end! I'm telling you this is going to be the hot book of 2018, so go get your copy now!  I am not going to leave spoilers i am just going to tell you again WOW! One crazy fucked up but totally worth every second you will have your head in this twisted, awesome book! 

You think you know what is going to happen.. guess again....

You don't ever truly know someone, no matter how long or how many secrets you share... 



The Ghostwriters

She's funny, cynical, and kinda crazy, but she knows how to tell a story.

A struggling writer living in Manhattan, Jacy McMasters is the first to admit she's a terrific liar and a screw-up. Then the ghost of the famous novelist JD Balinger asks her to "channel" a follow-up to his classic coming of age book, The Watcher in the Sky. Along with her new boyfriend, a bear of a man who has no patience for mind games, the ghost in Jacy's head forces her to confront a lifetime of secrets—dark secrets. Secrets she's been keeping from herself.


Ok so this is not a ghost story, or even a romance. DO not judge a book by it's cover. 

Jacy is a struggling writer, when she is not working she is drinking...ALOT. Most days she wakes up in a strangers bed, with no memory of what exactly happened. And to make matter's worse her pathetic ex keeps coming around because his current girlfriend won't sleep with him, so he keeps coming back to Jacy for one thing and one thing only. This is how we get introduced to Jacy and her wonderful lifestyle of drinking, sex and her attempts at writing which most days are her attempting, failing, and then drinking..

One day Jacy is at the bar, so drunk that she doesn't care anymore, she turns and see's a man sitting at the end staring at her, she looks at him for help- help of any kind, because she is spiraling out of control...
Except when she wakes up the next day she is in her apartment, alone... Suddenly she hears something outside in her living room, when she goes to inspect she finds JD standing there. Quickly we are caught up that JD is dead, he is the ghost of a famous author, who has come to Jacy to write his follow up novel.
So here comes the title of the book- Ghostwriters. Jacy is writing a book for JD, using his style and his words they create what they hope will be the next best seller. 

All the while Jacy is still struggling with her family issues, her own mental issues, and her drinking problem. 
One night after a long, tiring day with JD she goes out drinking and wakes up in a strangers bed with no memory of the night before. So this is where the book get's cute since they do throw in some romance, apparently the guy she slept with the night before, really likes her and it's more than just sex. He likes who she is, because Jacy was so drunk she doesn't remember that she divulged all her darkest secrets and her fucked up family life. 

Throughout the book we learn about her crazy controlling mother, her supportive father, and her loving brother who looks up to Jacy. We think everyone is OK, and Jacy is just overreacting to how things are when she goes home to see her family... The twist at the end will have you shocked, speechless and maybe even crying.. 

I found the writing in this book to be amazing, and the story not to mention the understory that is shown throughout this book was something that should be carried on for many generations. 
You will find mental illness, death, suicide, alcoholism, romance, and much more. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Six Little Secrets

Six hidden pasts.
One deadly outcome.
Some secrets never stay hidden for long…
Six teenagers meet in Saturday detention: a brain, a beauty, a cheerleader, a rebel, a recluse and the new girl.
But someone is watching. Someone has made sure that they are all in the same room at the same time. Someone knows that each of them is hiding a terrible secret…
…and by the end of detention, everyone will know the truth.

Modern day Breakfast Club... Six students all in Saturday detention, and all have something to hide. You have the beauty queen, the nerd, the rebel, the kleptomaniac, the student who spends her Saturday's there to study, and the new girl. The teacher watching them has to step away for a moment, and while he's away a message comes over the intercom, "Were going to play a game, find the red slip with your name on it and complete the task... if you dont or tell anyone out of this room, you will face the consequences..." So they all think this is some joke until they find the first red slip with the nerd Teddy's name on it. His task his to find his favorite book, he only has 15 minutes. So they are like okay what is going on, they decide to play along... So teddy goes to find his favorite book and inside is ten $100 bills. He has to burn them... Time runs out and he doesn't do the task, suddenly he hears the alert on his phone, which BTW is locked away in the file cabinet. The alert he heard was set for either a withdrawal or deposit into his bank account. Did he lose everything just now by not burning that money? 
While he was inspecting the money to see if it was real he realized only nine of them were, the last one is red with another name on it... What will be the next task and how deadly do the games get?
I managed to finish this book in half a day, and found it fun to read. You didn't know what or who would be next and the task they had to do or else... The twist at the ending was fun when you finally find out who the voice was on the intercom, and also find out who was working with who. Finally when you finally find out everyone's secret you will be surprised to see the facade people put on... 

What are you hiding? And what could it cost you?

First Grave on the Right Series

This whole grim reaper thing should have come with a manual.
Or a diagram of some kind.
A flow chart would have been nice.

Charley Davidson is a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper. Meaning, she sees dead people. Really. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (like murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely. But what does he want with Charley? And why can't she seem to resist him? And what does she have to lose by giving in?
With scorching-hot tension and high-octane humor, First Grave on the Right is your signpost to paranormal suspense of the highest order.


Right away this book captures your attention, i found myself unable to stop reading! I mean how cool that this bad ass chick is a grim reaper? So not only does she help solve murder cases, help the dead move on, but now she is having some sexy dream guy come to her at night and give her amazing sex, mind blowing orgasms ! But he may not be dead... so how is he appearing to her the grim reaper? This story of who he is will blow your mind! You will be dying to continue the series, there are 11 books in total, i received this one for free for my review. But i can promise you i will be completing the series. Honestly if your into ghost, murder, sex, comedy this book has it all and I'm sure the rest of the series will be just as mind blowing as this one was! PLUS how cute are those shoes?!!

Condition- Book One

What if a single pill could cure any alignment you suffer from? Big deal some side effects, right? If it means you don't ever have to suffer from dementia, alzheimer's, or even change a murderer into a perfect citizen? Would you join in the movement and take it?

The book begins with Dan in a plane crash, he is describing what is happening around him- the rescue crew is there but the plane is burning and the flames are about to reach him, he realizes the plane is on his side because he can see grass, wild flowers and a single bubble bee. The flames are now taking over him, and he is watching the flames take away the skin on his right arm, down to the point he doesn't even feel the pain anymore; meanwhile the flames are hitting the rest of his body as well....

Next thing Dan knows he is waking up  in the hospital, 6 months later. He is covered in 100% burns, and has lost a significant amount of weight and muscle mass. Dan is alarmed to see his body at first, but then looks over and see's  his wife and his friend Tony there with him. They are comforting him until he doctor comes in and asks a series of questions that will be asked throughout the book- what year is it? Who is the prime Minster? What is your Name? Who won the world cup? And what happened in the aircraft crash?
As from the questions you can figure out it is based in England- though the language is not difficult and very easy for American readers to understand.

Dan is able to answer every question except what happened in the aircraft crash.... Why is that? Dan begins to question everything around him, the doctors and nurses have singled out a single medication  ( the red pill ) but why only that one? And why does he have the choice not to take it?
Paranoia and Hallucinations are beginning, he is starting to see his brother Brian- trying to help him piece back together everything that has happened.

The twist and turns this book will put you through is crazy, i never screamed OMG so many times during a book before, and continued to run upstairs and tell my family about the book because it was insane! I enjoy most of the books i read but this one leaves you with something, a summer series your going to want to read!

Marriage Is Pure Murder

This book isn't something i would have normally read, but as i am trying to expand my reading and give different reviews i read this:

I found the book to be very boring at first, it took me a lot of effort to sit down and read it since the first few chapters didn't pull me in. I found myself bored because all they were talking about was this small sleepy town, and the woman's wedding. Once the action began though it held me throughout the book.
The flower shop owner is found dead in her backroom by non other than the woman we have been learning about, Dana. Apparently this isn't the first time Dana has found a dead body either- but now she is on a mission to find out who and why someone would kill the flower shop owner... The police keep questioning her like she is a suspect and she's due to get married in only days. Can she find the murderer and clear her name?

Once Dana starts on her mission to find the killer, their are a lot of suspects- except the one person who actually did it wasn't on my top list- While it is a great twist and I'm sure someone will figure it out before they finish the book, i was pleasantly surprised.
Once justice has been served, the wedding goes on and the ending is cute and leaves a smile on your face.

Strange Magic Review

""Rosie Strange doesn't believe in ghosts or witches or magic. No, not at all. It’s no surprise therefore when she inherits the ramshackle Essex Witch Museum, her first thought is to take the money and run.

Still, the museum exerts a curious pull over Rosie. There’s the eccentric academic who bustles in to demand she help in a hunt for old bones, those of the notorious Ursula Cadence, a witch long since put to death. And there’s curator Sam Stone, a man about whom Rosie can’t decide if he’s tiresomely annoying or extremely captivating. It all adds up to looking like her plans to sell the museum might need to be delayed, just for a while.

Finding herself and Sam embroiled in a most peculiar centuries-old mystery, Rosie is quickly expelled from her comfort zone, where to her horror, the secrets of the past come with their own real, and all too present, danger as a strange magic threatens to envelope them all.""


- The book begins by introducing us to Rosie Strange- Septimus granddaughter. Septimus owned the Essex Witch Museum and has sadly passed away- in his death he leaves this museum to Rosie. She is only planning on going to take inventory and sell the place off. We follow her journey to the museum where she meets Sam who is the curator of the museum and he gives her a bit of history on the place. While the two are talking they have an unexpected visitor, and this visitor tells them it is of dire importance that they help him find a witch's human remains. Rosie and Sam both believe he has lost his mind and isn't thinking straight until they agree to go meet other people who will support his claims. They meet with Dr. Chin, their visitor and another gentleman, and they learn the truth of what this man is saying. It is of dire need that they find these remains and quickly. A young boy by the name of Max has fallen out of a tree and is now laying in the hospital dying- except he's not dying from the fall- someone has taken over his body- a spirit who is demanding his mother's remains.
Now we follow Rosie and Sam's adventure throughout London to find Ursula, the 450 year old witch and we learn why she is of such importance. But as they take this journey, strange things begin to happen, Rosie who doesn't believe in ghosts, and witches is beginning to have odd things happen. As well as Sam who has a healthy belief in the unknown.
    When they finally locate her remains, the following day they are supposed to be picked up, Sam and Rosie get a call that they have been stolen. Come to find out now they are fighting a Mob boss and his girlfriend for her remains. Sounds crazy right- but the mob boss and girlfriend are part of a cult that wants to extend their lives- and Ursula's remains are the main part of that ritual.  Will they get back the remains and save the young boy who's body is dying because a spirit won't leave and can't rest until he has his mother with him? Read &  find out....

If you love reading about witchcraft, learning the history behind the tall tale, and the ever excitement of when it all comes together then this is the book for you- I don't want to give too much away but this book will hook you and leave you smiling!

Don't wake up Review

The worst things that's ever happened to you... and no one believes you. The description caught my attention right away on this book- you wake up tied to an operating table, naked and you hear a unrecongizabble voice above you, the voice says what does "no" mean? Showing you your "slutty" choice of clothing... He wants you to say yes... then next thing you know your waking up in the hospital... You try to tell everyone, the police, hospital workers, your boyfriend that something terrible happened, but they don't believe you. They all believe you have lost your mind... 
Sounds crazy right? I thought so too, i found i did enjoy the book but took me a while to find myself really interested in it. It is based in the UK, so here for American readers points were a bit difficult to understand. I also found the book lacked the action, i was hoping for something more- while it did have a crazy story line- and people kept being found dead and overall crazy story it missed something. I also was disappointed with who turned out to be the serial killer/ kidnapper. I was actually hoping for it to be someone else, because of points made throughout the book... Turns out the person i thought was just a true jerk. LOL. Glad i read this book but not something i would read again ...

The Stranger Inside Review

"After mystery author Diane Christie loses her husband to suicide, she and her son move to the small coastal town of Fog Harbor, Massachusetts. Her daughter is attending college nearby, and Diane hopes that her family can now begin to heal. But rebuilding their lives after the tragedy isn’t so simple.
Diane’s depressed college-age daughter, Alexa, still avoids her, critical of everything Diane does, and even her generally amiable teenage son, Josh, has started acting out. Diane pushes forward, focusing on her writing and her volunteer work at a local crisis hotline. She knows that healing takes time.
But then a girl from Alexa's college is found strangled. Worse still, the murderer uses the crisis hotline to confess to Diane . . . and claims she is the only one who can stop the killing. And just when the glow of new love from an attractive admirer begins to chase away some of the darkness, more girls turn up dead, and Diane races to solve a mystery she fears will hit terrifyingly close to home." (description from book).

My Review: I found this book to be crazy! While at first it started off a little dull, not as captivating as i was hoping for-- i found by the middle to the end i couldn't put this book down! Once more and more girls are showing up dead- and everyone is becoming a suspect in Diane's life, your dying to know who it actually is! NO SPOILERS- But when you do finally find out who is the killer your in shock because it's the one person you never expected!!

This is a must read for any fan of mystery/suspense!!

Never a Choice Review

Erotica, romance, suspense, twists and turns and evil sisters! This book truly had it all! While the description alone i figured this was going to be a quick, hot read that would leave you wanting so much more! But was i wrong!! While this book does give you the hotness level, and most likely hits on every girls fantasy of an lecture professor (who's not technically staff- only a guest at the school) and he's smart, and drop dead gorgeous and he wants you! In every way, every second of the day?! Picture your college professor that was too hot, and you just couldn't pay attention in class- yeah this books gives you that! So now going past all that hotness- LOL. We actually have a story past all the sex, we learn about Bets (Bethany) and the hardships life has thrown at her. It's only her mother, her sister Kit, and herself. Her mother becomes very ill, and they have to sell their house to pay for the mothers nursing home care, except once the house sells, Kit takes off with all the money from the house, leaving Bets broke and alone. So now Bets has to find not only somewhere to live, but a way to pay for her mother's care. She luckily finds an amazing friend in Sofia, who takes her in and ends up becoming part of her family. The story gets really crazy once sadly her mom passes away, and her current lover Daniel, is there helping her through the tough time of the funeral. While her sister Kit decides to show back up into her life, and begin hell. Kit wants Daniel- Daniel is in love with Bets- and Bets just want's the best for Daniel and her friend Sofia. Kit has claimed she wants Daniel and will do anything to have him- including hurting Sofia and anyone close to her. The story gets crazy now- not going to give away any spoilers, you will have to read to find out- But let me tell you its worth the read! I can't wait for the second book to come out because i will defiently be reading it!!

Obsession Review

So this book is by Amanda Robson- while i did enjoy the book overall, i found i did not enjoy the ending since it confused me more than anything. Throughout the book you begin thinking that Carly (one of the main characters) is the crazy obsessed one, then the book switches and you see that Jenni (also another character) is the one who is crazy, and will not allow her husband or any woman to have him or allow him to get away with cheating. We go through the book with both Jenni, Carly, and Rob, we learn about each character and the problems they are facing, how each is holding onto a secret that will destroy them and their families. You can conclude from the book that each one has their own motive to not only kill, but obsesses over each others lives and husbands. You never get a clear picture though of who is the murderer, and what is actually happening between the couples. Also for American readers, this book is based in England i believe, so the language and references are difficult to understand at points. Many times i had no idea what they were saying, but tried my best to follow along. Wish it was more clear, because i did find it interesting and kept finding myself creating different theories on how the book was going to progress.

Doll House review

SCARY AS HELL ! This book, the tittle alone sounds creepy, reading it got even worse! Totally worth it though LOL ! This book is about two serial killers who not only kidnap, tourture, and rape this young woman, as well as others, but they are also cannibals... throughout the book you learn about the main character Olivia, and her father who is dealing with his daughter being abducted... we learn about the gorilla and jackel, who were here kidnappers, but always wore masks as to hid their identity. The story continues to amaze you when Olivia manages to escape and save others, she now has the process of piecing her broken life back together. In the end the person who we know only as Jackel, you won't believe who he actually is! A must read for any fan of horror!

A Margin of Lust review

Just finished this book- took me about 2-3 days since i found it to be a slow read, i found myself bored at points. While the overall story plot was enjoyable, and interesting, seems like something was missing from the plot.
A murderer is on the loose-killing real estate agents, who show him empty million dollar homes. The main character Gwen is working for one agency, her and her friend happened to be checking out a million dollar home that Gwen just snagged the listing for. While looking throughout the house they stumble upon horror; a murder victim in the master suite-naked. After this Gwen's husband is begging her to take time off, but she is refusing- money is needed, and she loves her job. The murderer keeps insisting that this house belongs to him, and his "sister" is the one who has to pay, this other woman are just baggage that he is taking care of- a public duty. Throughout the book we learn about more woman found dead, and how Gwen and her husband have been pulling apart, a marriage that is about to end. Toward the end of the book we learn the identity of the murderer, and i was surprised by who it is, but just seemed to lack that punch power- the ending seemed rushed at this point- the murderer has Gwen held up in the basement, her husband now aware of his missing wife goes on the hunt and manages to run right into the murderer- then follows him, but somehow loses him. While he suddenly gets a call from a cop friend, they found Gwen's e-card (something real estate agents use to have access to the show homes). Gwen husband now rushes over to that house- sneaks in through an open window and surprise surprise hears Gwen and the murders voice. After a quick struggle he is arrested and they begin to fix their lives.

I felt that during the book their should have been more something- I'm not sure. Just felt that this book lacked that power punch that so many other thriller's give us.
Read for yourself and let me know your thoughts!
** This is book one in the series**
