BOOK BLURB

Fletcher Spence is dying for a promotion. And her colleagues are more than happy to oblige.

After three years working seventy-hour weeks as assistant to the most terrifying CEO in the magazine world, Fletcher finally finagled a spot on Cartwright Media’s annual corporate retreat—a famously luxurious week on the Cartwrights’ private island, where promotions are handed out like party favors. And her plan to snag her dream job as a travel magazine photographer was going great…until her boss’s dramatic death reveals his last will and testament: Whoever survives the week will inherit the company.

So now she’s stuck on her billionaire boss’s safari park island, surrounded by wild animals and on the run from coworkers who’ve swapped coffee cups for machetes and briefcases for hunting rifles.

To Fletcher’s dismay, her only ally might be her boss’s insufferably gorgeous son, Waylon Cartwright. Despite their hostile history, Fletcher is at least 80 percent sure he won’t try to kill her this week. Plus, his experience on the island might come in handy while they fend off lions and tigers and…marketing executives? Oh my.

While Fletcher battles her own ambitions and her unexpected attraction to Waylon, her power-hungry, bloodthirsty colleagues will do anything to stop them from escaping with their lives. Everyone knows the media industry is cutthroat, but in this safari party, it’s never been more true.

MY REVIEW

Fletcher wants a promotion. When her boss dies, her and her coworkers are stuck on his private island. During the reading of his will, it is stated that whoever survives the week on the island will inherit his company. Now, not only does Fletcher have to deal with the wildlife, but also the coworkers willing to kill to get ahead.

Safari Murder Party is a wild ride. Quirky characters and an intriguing setting. A bit of a locked room mystery and survival story. Also, an enemies to lovers romance.

Dark comedy, mystery, and romance combine for an entertaining read. Safari Murder Party is good for readers who enjoy a little crazy in their thrillers.

BOOK BLURB

In the city that never sleeps, it’s not always easy to share what’s on your mind with the people who know you best. Huddled in an all-night diner over coffee and pancakes, a lonely middle-aged mom, an injured baseball pro, an elusive retiree, and a young waitress examine the thoughts that plague them in the middle of the night.

Empty-nester Sybil does what she does best: rolls up her sleeves and spearheads the efforts to turn this group of strangers into friends. Aimless after an injury threatens to ruin his career, Zeke finds genuine connection among the unlikely group. Tight-lipped Julian, who’s seemingly adrift in retirement and attempting to rebuild a relationship with his daughter, expands their circle when he takes their cagey diner waitress, Betty, under his wing. Betty, cautious about strangers and uncertain about strokes of good luck, entertains the trio in an attempt to resolve her own problems, which she keeps close to the vest.

Within a few restless months, the group of strangers have become a fragile family. And when one of them goes missing in the dead of night, they’re thrust into a propulsive mystery pulled straight from the true-crime podcasts Sybil obsesses over. Though ill-prepared and unequipped for the job, they begin to piece together the clues left behind. In chasing down answers, they uncover a reason for their friend’s disappearance, and are forced to wrestle with the question of how well you can really know anyone—and once you do, how much are you willing to risk to save them? And in doing so, save yourself?

MY REVIEW

A group of insomniacs meet at a diner and become friends. When one of the group goes missing, the others look for answers.

The Insomniacs is a found family story of interesting characters. With alternating points of view, the different characters are explored and each brings something new to the story. The mystery was woven in well.

The Insomniacs is a slow burning character driven mystery. Recommended for readers who enjoy amateur investigators and found families.

BOOK BLURB

Who is watching Nell Masters?

Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own.

Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . .

Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?

MY REVIEW

Nell feels like someone is always watching her. She also has a secret from her past that she wants to keep hidden.

When I Kill You is fast-paced thriller. Nell was a witness to a crime years earlier, and she became obsessed with the suspect. It ended in tragedy, and now, she feels like someone associated with her past is stalking her.

Secrets and paranoia make for entertaining mystery.

BOOK BLURB

A woman buried.
A woman broken.
A woman crashed.
A woman burned.
And the man who knew them all.

Love at first sight, a whirlwind Vegas wedding, a fairy-tale romance.

For forty-three days, Tavish Advani has been the happiest man in the world—until his new life turns to ash, his wealthy in-laws’ house going up in a fiery explosion. His badly injured wife lies in a coma, her family all but annihilated.

Tavish thought he’d left the sins of his Los Angeles life behind, but it’s not so easy to leave behind an investigation into the deaths of several high-profile women—all of whom he’d professed to love. Tragedy and death follow him no matter where he goes . . . but this time, he knows he’s innocent.

Desperately trying to clear his name as the authorities zero in, Tavish begins his own investigation into the fire—and learns that his wife’s picture-perfect family may have been nothing but a meticulously constructed mirage. The truth is much darker than anything Tavish could’ve imagined. . . .

MY REVIEW

After a whirlwind romance, a man learns his new family is not as perfect as they seem. Although, he has his secrets too.

Such a Perfect Family is told from Tavish’s point of view. He comes home to find his wife stabbed and the house on fire. Not only was his wife in the house, but also his wife’s parents and her sister. Tavish is immediately a suspect, and he does have a questionable past.

Twists and turns, plus several questionable characters, kept this read interesting.

BOOK BLURB

November 2001: Chloe Harlow wakes up late, with hazy memories of the party the night before but no recollection of how she got back to her Brooklyn apartment. Ever since the terrifying and catastrophic terrorist attack, it seems she has been on a collision course with destruction.

When she finally arrives at the exclusive Upper East Side art gallery where she works, she is immediately called into her boss’s office. A pair of NYPD detectives greet her, also very curious to know how her evening ended…because the host of the party, a rising painter and the gallery’s newest artist, is dead.

Navigating both the sophisticated high-stakes art world and her personal life in burgeoning Williamsburg, Chloe struggles to piece together a complete picture of that lost night. As she digs deeper, inconsistencies emerge between what she remembers and what people tell her actually happened, and more questions are raised. Everything begins to feel like a conspiracy and maybe it is. Because Chloe is the only one who glimpses the secrets the murdered artist left behind, and the closer she gets to the truth…the more deadly it becomes.

MY REVIEW

The Gallery Assistant is about a young woman caught up in a murder. Chloe works as an art gallery assistant, and wakes up one morning with a foggy memory of the night before. Turns out, the gallery’s newest artist was killed, and Chloe was the last one to see her alive.

The Gallery Assistant is set in 2001, in a post 9/11 New York City. Chloe survived the attack, but suffers from PTSD. She’s also an alcoholic with low self-esteem, making her an unreliable narrator. Suspicious characters and a complex plot make for an intriguing thriller.

Slow burning and atmospheric, The Gallery Assistant is a character driven mystery. Recommended to fans of the art world and slow paced mysteries.
