A mystery filled with suspense great twists, that I didn’t see coming at all. Several twists that are revealed and a supreme twist at the end. Elizabeth is an English Professor whose career could be in jeopardy as one of her students appears to be writing a novel about the professors past life. The student submits one chapter a month, each precisely correct about what happened in Elizabeth's life. Elizabeth is frantic because…. in her past life she has something she has kept hidden, and for good reason.

Another entertaining murder mystery romance from Ellen Meister. It continues the story of our heroine from Love Sold Separately. She is still hosting her show on the Shopping Channel. During a company party, the new CEO falls from the rooftop balcony. Dana thinks she may have done it but can't remember because she was drugged that night. Keeps you guessing till the end.

CLAIRE DARLING by Callie Kazumi is the story of a young woman in love. The setting is London, England; the style is a mixture of personal narrative and introspection; the time frame is a back and forth between the here and now and Claire's childhood. Not giving anything away - the first sentence on the fly leaf says "this is a story of obsession, love and murder..." - the reader is taken on a wild journey with many twists and turn. An enjoyable read, if somewhat predictable...

There were parts I loved about this book and then parts that I felt oversimplified complex issues.

An emotional read, with insights into the meaning of friendships, the bonds we make with others, and the process of grieving. A shout out to Art Therapy.

This is the fourth installment in the Shatter Me series, and it marks the beginning of a new chapter in Juliette’s journey. It’s fascinating to witness how much Juliette has evolved since the first book. Her character development is one of the strongest elements of the series, and in this book, we see her step into a leadership role in a way that feels both powerful and deeply vulnerable. There were more revelations in this book, pieces that were left out in the first three books begin to unravel here, surrounding Aaron Warner and Juliette’s past. The way these storylines are expanded adds layers of depth and kept me turning the pages. We meet so many new characters and we get to explore them as people as well, which I really like. Tahereh Mafi’s writing continues to shine in this book. Her lyrical, emotional style captures the internal struggles of the characters so vividly that you can’t help but feel their pain and inner turmoil. Overall, I highly recommend this book, especially to readers who’ve been following Juliette’s story from the beginning.

In a small town , Three Pines, Canada, an older woman, a spinster named Jane, is shot dead in the woods by a hunting arrow. She had just had her first piece of artwork accepted into the local art show. Art she hadn't shown to anyone before that moment. Is her death related? who would want her dead ? In a small town where everyone knows everyone, someone is lying. Chief Armand Gamache is called on to investigate. Good character development but a little convoluted in spots.

I liked the book beginning to end - it's simple - I liked it!!!!
