You never know who’s listening.

To Stella Dixon, sneaking her teenage brother out of their parents’ house for a beach party was harmless fun—until Max disappeared without a trace.

Six years later, Stella’s family is still broken, and she can’t let go of her guilt. The only thing that keeps her going is helping other families find closure through A Killer Motive, her true crime podcast.

In a bid to find new sponsors and keep making episodes, Stella goes on a local radio show. But when she says on air that if she had just one clue, she’d find Max and bring whoever hurt him to justice, someone takes it as a challenge.

A mysterious invitation to play a game arrives, with the promise that if Stella wins, she’ll get information about what happened to Max. Stella thinks it’s a sick joke…until Max’s best friend vanishes. And she’s given new instructions: tell nobody or people will die.

Desperate and unable to trust anyone, Stella agrees. But beating a twisted, invisible enemy seems impossible when they make all the rules…


I’d be incredibly grateful if you added A Killer Motive to your Goodreads, and/or pre-ordered, and/or asked your library to pre-order a copy now.

The nightmare she’s running from is nothing compared to where she’s headed.

Tegan is 
eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn’t realize she’s heading straight into a blizzard.

She never arrives at her destination.

Stranded in rural Maine with a 
dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she’s made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears.

But something isn’t right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize 
she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn’t what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet.

And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself—and her unborn child.

A gut-wrenching story of motherhood, survival, and twisted expectations, #1 
New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a snowbound thriller that will chill you to the bone.

The Crash

Written By Freida McFadden 

Reviewed By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

Many of my friends have been raving about how good Frieda McFadden’s The Crash is so you know I had to find out for myself. Plus, I have been meaning to read more of hers since I fell absolutely in love with The Teacher. Well, my friends were spot on with how amazing of a read it was! It was fast paced, addicting, suspenseful, twisted, heartbreaking at times, jaw dropping twists and turns, etc. You must put this on your tbr list and put it to the top. 


Frieda addressed some very serious subjects that could be triggering to a reader such as rape and child being conceived by rape. Many times I wish authors would include that in the beginning to let the reader know what they were getting into prior to reading the book. I am mindful of the readers that read my reviews and will always give you a heads up with these types of things. 


I thought it was comical how Teagan was so obsessed with tuna fish that she nicknamed her baby growing in her tuna. Ironically I was laughing as I was making tuna salad as I was reading this book. 


Jackson’s character I had a sweet spot for and liked him from beginning to end. 


Simon was my least favorite person throughout the book!! He made me mad on so many occasions!! 


In my opinion this read like two books intertwined into one because there was a big major event that happened and a whole new storyline took place and we didn't hear about Simon or Jackson until the very end of the book. 


Even though I was enjoying the story I felt the Polly story was dragging on too long and she kept repeating herself. Her character was kind of getting on my nerves at the end of the book. 


Oh but I was screaming at my kindle when Polly wanted to give Teagan Dolatted for the pain!! Hello, she is pregnant! She can’t take that, are you crazy lady!! 


I loved the multiple points of view from each character. 


Sadie pulled on my heartstrings out of all the characters. She was such a sweet girl who wasn't being treated right at home.

 You Know the Drill

Welcome to my life.  The life of a reluctant dentist.  This book charts the course of a nervous student dealing with people from all walks of life, from exploding angry abscesses to exploding angry people, both in and out of the chair.


When I was a wet-behind-the-ears school sixth former, it seemed like a really good idea to go to university and study the teeth, gums and mouth.  I’m still trying to work out why I thought that was a good idea.


The definition of a dentist mentions competencies in biomedical knowledge, surgical dexterity, and critical thinking. What it fails to include is being an unpaid therapist, getting splattered in pus, coaxing nutters out from under the dental chair, having the police storm your surgery, and dealing with patients who think a crown is something you put on your head, then try and sue you when you say otherwise.


Written as a form of therapy – to offload on paper – this book gives a frank account of life both in and out of the surgery.  So, take a seat in the waiting room and I’ll see you shortly in Chapter One…

Dr Bill is a reluctant dentist who lives with his kind partner and a neurotic cat.  This is his first book.  There may be another.  This depends on whether Dr Bill’s patients are gracious sweethearts who give him nothing to write about, or cantankerous bastards who provide the fodder for written revenge!

 








You Know The Drill

Written By Dr. Bill 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Dr. Bill and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you with this review.


WOW!! Dr. Bill brings you a very in-depth up close and personal look into the world of Dentistry in You Know The Drill. I am a huge fan of Medical Memoirs and Medical Dramas on TV so I thought I would give this book a try. Let me blunt I was not sure what to expect as I never read a book on Dentistry nor ever fathomed I would-but I gave it a shot. Well let me tell you Dr. Bill had me laughing by booty off with some of his wild patient stories he had. One was crazier than the next!! Needless to say this was a fun, fast paced, and even educational read.


Dr. Bill had me cracking up laughing as he shared the story of how he decided to become a Dentist. Because his Mom said you never see a poor dentist lmao!! His neighbor was one and drove a Porsche! 


Dr. Bill led his readers through the ups and downs of Dental School. What I found very interesting is they can diagnose anything in the mouth way before the pcp can.
