Happy Thursday bibliophiles!

Excited to share with you today my review for this thrilling book that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout! Huge thanks to Emma for my invitation to the tour and two Sibel Hodge for her spellbinding story!🖤

My Thoughts

A compelling fast and furious story of intrigue, secrets, and deception!

Make sure your seatbelt is tightly fastened for this addictive fast-paced story! A story of betrayal and scheming… A menagerie of genres, thriller, action, adventure, mystery, and political intrigue… A game of cat and mouse that will take you from the UK to Africa to Spain to Switzerland and back….

Nicole is a widow of 10 months, her husband died in a plane crash in Africa… Mason was in Africa working as a doctor when he met his unfortunate demise…. but is he really dead? The body was never recovered and now Nicole has received a picture that supposedly was taken just a few days ago… but where has he been this whole time? And why has he not contacted her? Nicole is determined to get answers, but the more she digs more and more questions pop up…

This book will give you whiplash with all the twists and turns…. what appeared as a simple game of hide and seek turned into so much more… Nicole was very likable and you had to admire her Moxie! She was somebody just like you and me, who found herself running for her life, and not only searching for her husband but for answers…. The ending to the story was brilliant, bold, and satisfying! And trust me you will never look at chocolate the same way again!

If you like a little action adventure with your thriller this is a must read! Absolutely recommend!

The widow. The secret. The liar.

The Disappeared…

On a routine flight from Africa to England, Dr Mason Palmer is tragically killed when the light aircraft he’s travelling on crashes and disappears in dense bush land.

The Widow…

The Secret…

But when Nicole tries to find out if Mason is really alive and what actually happened to him in Africa, everyone she turns to for answers ends up dead.

Determined to find the truth, Nicole uncovers a conspiracy that spans the globe, and discovers there are powerful people who are prepared to kill to keep her silent.

My Thoughts

A fun and fluffy tale full of love, friendship, and sloppy dog kisses!🐶

This adorable story was comfort food for my heart and soul… sometimes you just need a lovely story that will put a smile on your face and a wag in your tail… this is the fifth book in Beth Kendrick’s Black Dog Bay series and can absolutely without a doubt be read as a standalone…. this was my first book in the series, but I have every intention to go back and read the previous books… A perfect palate cleanser to throw in between all those dark and twisty reads…

Joslin was out running one day saves the life of a purebred show dog, and before she knows it she’s become a dogsitter…. it’s a good thing Joslin adores dogs, even though her mom didn’t let her have one as a child…. before she knows it the three dogs that she is sitting have completely captured her heart… and Curtis, Carmen, and Hester completely captured mine as well!

There was a lovely romance in the story but it was a realistic slow burn that was kind of in the background… I really love that, because it allowed this book to explore some other really wonderful relationships…. my favorite of those being the friendship between Joslyn and Bri…. these girls had such a strong friendship the ultimate besties, everyone needs a Bri in their life, or a Joslin… The relationship between Joslyn and her mother was also charming, complicated, but charming…. The romance was sweet and satisfying even though it was understated…

This book is guaranteed to make you feel good about all creatures big and small, two legged and four! The next time you need a book pick me up, pick this one up! Absolutely recommend!🐾
