3 ½ stars for The Housemaid is Watching by Freida McFadden
“This is the 3rd book in her Housemaid series. I have really enjoyed reading many of her books and read the first two Housemaid books during last summer’s Reading Challenge. This book seemed kind of slow to me at first. Once the reader starts to find out the real truth, then the book lives up to what you expect from this author!” – Tina Bitler
5 stars for King of Wrath by Ana Huang
“I’m a sucker for a dark romance. A haters to lovers story of arranged marriage, betrayal, family dynamics and love.” – Brianna Almanzar
5 stars for A Beautiful Arrangement by Beth Wiseman
“This book is an amazing Amish love story.” – Teresa Parker
4 stars for Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
“Beautifully written and kind of sad with themes of love, connection and loss. I loved that there were LGBTQIA+ characters without that being the point of the book.” – Angelique Chambers
4 stars for Threshold of Deceit by Carol Pouliot
“2nd book in the Blackwell & Watson Time Travel Mysteries. Interesting premise.” – Mary Smith
5 stars for Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I am so glad that I happened to spot this book on one of the easel displays in the library. It was an absolutely amazing book! Such a cute read that keeps you wanting to read more as you delve into its concurrent storylines. I definitely look forward to reading more by this author.” – Tina Bitler
5 stars for Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
“A follow-up to the amazing Six of Crows. Each character builds pieces of the story in a split-narrative format. All of Leigh’s work is spectacular!” – Jess Miller
5 stars for The Escape by David Baldacci
“Turns out I had read this before but I enjoyed it still the second time around!” – Ashley Wallace
4 stars for The Morning Show Murders by Al Roker & Dick Lochte
“This was an enjoyable read. I couldn’t give it 5 stars as I’d watched the TV movie and kept making comparisons, which never ends well! My advice? Read this as a totally separate entity! (Don’t compare and you will like it!)” – Kristine Skinner
4 stars for No. 23 Burlington Square by Jenni Keer
“Really enjoyed how the author presents 3 different endings based on the choice of renters made by the landlady.” – Carol Fitzsimmons
5 stars for Hooked by Emily McIntire
“A retelling of Peter Pan where Captain Hook, named James Hook in the book, is the protagonist. He is a mob boss with a troubled past and the same hate for Peter Pan, a multi-millionaire mob boss himself with a daughter who is none other than Wendy. In a story with twists, turns, romance & betrayal, there is of course a happily ever after. I highly recommend it if you like a little bit of dark romance.” – Brianna Almanzar
4 stars for Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth
“It was hard to get into at first but got better as it went. Though the plot was predictable it was entertaining.” – Jessica Fragale
4 stars for Shining Forth by Anne Marie Rodgers
“I’m glad I accidentally stumbled upon this series. I needed an extended soft read.” – Ruth Taylor
5 stars for Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
“A stellar story about found family, learning your potential, and of course overthrowing corrupt government officials. Removing corruption always brings it up a notch! Highly recommend this trilogy.” – Jessica Miller
4 stars for Middle of the Night by Riley Sager
“Great twists!” – Jen Haynes
5 stars for Judge & Jury by James Patterson
“Excellent mobster story. This is my first James Patterson book and I thought it was good. Action, some love story and keeps you wanting to read.” – LeighAnne Hurlbut
