Somebody I Used to Know by David Bell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First, I would like to thank NetGalley, David Bell, and Penguin Group for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
David Bell does an amazing job grasping the reader’s full attention from the first page to this fantastically written mystery novel. There were so many twist, turns, and draw dropping speechless moments that I was on the edge of my seat for.
I loved the beginning of the book when Nick is at the grocery store and he thinks he sees his long lost late college sweetheart Marissa at the grocery store. We have all done that seen someone’s doppelganger. This was an odd coincidence that he would run into someone that looked exactly like her 20 years later. Odd thing is she seemed scared of him.
Twisted by Andrew E. Kaufman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First I would like to thank NetGalley, Andrew E. Kaufman, and Amazon Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
WOW!! Twisted grasped my attention and just kept pulling me in! This book was full of suspense, car accidents, mass child killings, mysterious suspect, missing people, suicides, and so many twists and turns.
I was in total shock at the car accident scene. Then my heart totally went out to his wife Jenna!! Who wants to get a call from their husband that they have just been in a terrible accident! I was shocked and dumfounded that he drove himself home after the whole ordeal.
My heart melted during the Daddy and Son moments. Devin was a cute and sweet little boy. You could tell how much he loved his Daddy.

The Elimination Diet: Discover the Foods That Are Making You Sick and Tired--and Feel Better Fast by Tom Malterre
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
First I would like to thank NetGalley, Tom Malterre, Alissa Segersten, and Grand Central Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this honest review.
The Elimination Diet is not your average diet. This is not about calories, fats, carbs or portion control. It is not about depriving yourself of your favorite foods or punishing yourself. It is about creating new awareness how foods you eat make you feel.
Ever After by Cara Wade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First, I want to thank Cara Wade for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Cara Wade went out of her comfort zone in Ever After and boy did it pay off! Out of the many I have read for her this was my favorite. It was different, unique, sexy, had an incredible mystery story line to it as well.
Warning: this book has triggers of rape, kidnapping, sex trafficking. If this bothers you or offends you then I don’t suggest you read it.
I had to laugh when Cara mentions this book is for her. For being brave enough to write something completely different than she is used to.
The Boy in the Barn by Ciana Stone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First, I want to thank Ciana Stone for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Dang!! Boy in the Barn was the darkest books that Ciana Stone has ever written. I have been a huge fan of hers and knows that she writes in multiple genres (one reason she is one of my favorite authors). However, this one is unlike any of the other ones she has written before. I a very extremely open-minded reader but there were times when she shocked the heck out of me! I had to make sure this was a Ciana book. Yup, no hot cowboys in this one lol!
This book contains triggers so please keep this in mind when deciding to read Ciana’s book. The Boy in the Barn contains physical and sexual abuse, of torture and murder. It also deals with child abuse and sex trafficking. This book is not for the faint of heart.
From the first few pages I was totally shocked out of my mind. Then I thought oh how I wish this could have happened to one of my exes! But wow that must have hurt!!
There was one scene that was very prudish even for Ciana that I had to laugh like crazy! I can’t give it away! Let’s just say it involved anal sex.
I will admit I was not a fan of the cult or what happened in the cult. Some of the scenes were extremely graphic and my heart went out to those who were affected by it. I would definitely read from Ciana if she continues this path-but some scenes were little too much.
What I did love was the amazing love story in this book. Yes, she found away to get a love story in here.
If you have read her books in the past you know that she loves the Navy Seals. There is a storyline about this as well.
