A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

 

❤❤❤❤❤

One of the best thrillers I've read! I devoured this book in one day and couldn't put it down. The writing makes you feel like you're right there along with Pippa as she investigates a 5 year old murder for a class project.

The only issue I had with it was the verbal variations as it was clearly written with British terms, but I've gotten used to most of the differences from previous books.

This was a roller coaster ride that I never wanted to end, with plot twists you won't see coming, which is a rarity for me anymore, so I was pleasantly surprised. I immediately bought the books in hardback so my co-worker could borrow them, mainly so I'd have someone else to discuss my theories with!

🙈 Mystery

💀 Thriller

SUMMARY:

When she chooses the case as the topic for her final year project, she starts to uncover secrets that someone in town desperately wants to stay hidden.

A genuine second chance romance! Off the Record is a romance once forbidden in the mafia world, but given a chance to rekindle under dire circumstances.

Annika walked away from her first love, only to marry a man who would end up being her worst nightmare, making her believe she's unworthy of love. Disclaimer: If Annika's husband wasn't already dead, I would've gladly killed him myself

💀 Murder

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes the thrilling conclusion to her With Me in Seattle Mafia series...

Rafe "Rocco" Martinelli was never one for the family business. Alas, being born into a crime syndicate means doing the family's bidding and making sure you're connected -- and, yes, breaking a few kneecaps. Rafe would love nothing more than to hang up his enforcer apron and live a quiet life, but as more and more higher-ups in rival clans turn up dead, Rafe realizes he doesn't have a choice. Especially not when the captivating and gorgeous bratva princess needs his help.

Dr. Annika Tarenkov learned early on that her life belongs to her family. She's a pawn in the long game, a bargaining chip for power and prestige. She gave up the only person in her life she thought she could be happy with, all for the greater good of the family. Now, a newly made widow and desperately seeking answers, she's forced to confront her past as it converges with her present. But all it does is make her wonder about her future and how she can make Rafe hers again. While being with him is like wrangling a toddler at times, he still makes her heart race and her breath catch. And she wouldn't feel safer with anyone else.

With the chips seemingly stacked against them, they must work to uncover the perpetrators of the nefarious plot that's been brewing for some time -- before it's too late.

SUMMARY:

As the son of one of the States' most prominent mob bosses, Shane Martinelli's always been immersed in society's shady underbelly. Learning to navigate it and keep to the edges was working just fine until an acquaintance turns up missing, and he fears the worst. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he hasn't stopped thinking about her. Luckily, as an ex-special operative, he's uniquely qualified to track her down and keep her safe. Unfortunately, nobody's making that easy -- not the people who took her nor the woman herself.

Ivie Jordan has led a pretty uneventful life, and that's just how she likes it. Especially since she'll be the first to admit that she doesn't do so well in social situations. She's a proud business owner, and while she doesn't have family, she does have a network of people who look out for her. Little did she know that being accepted into that fold came with a laundry list of issues. When the worst happens, and she's forced to rely on the ruggedly handsome alpha hero who comes to her rescue, she discovers her inner badass -- and the sultry vixen on her other shoulder.

Too bad the two of them are literally running for their lives and trying to ensure the safety of those they love. There is way more at stake than meets the eye.

It's time for the hunted to become the hunters.

Concede by Kathy Coopmans (The Diamond Empire #1)

 

❤❤❤❤❤

Brutally moving story! Concede holds nothing back and isn't afraid to punch you where it hurts.

Watching Victoria lose nearly everyone she loves, had me heartbroken and invested in the the outcome of her story from the very beginning. Her need for vengeance and putting up a strong exterior takes everything she has.

Seth is determined to be there for her and break down her impenetrable walls, but there's only so much he can do and take. When he joins the family to help keep Victoria safe from an unknown threat, he'll not only be putting his life on the line, but his heart as well.

I required a lot of chocolate while reading this book, but it was worth every calorie and tear shed. Such a wonderful mafia tale with characters that will own you, all while still haunting you days after you finish reading their story. 

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

For years, I pretended to be something I'm not. Drowning the beast living inside of me in copious amounts of alcohol and women. Not that I complained.

And then Victoria Hughes walks back into my life, and took me by surprise.

The woman stunning me clear out of my mind the minute my mouth touched hers.

After tragedy strikes and knocks her off her feet, I expected her to come to me, yet she didn't. She pretended we're nothing. But I see her. I've watched her, and she's fighting grief while battling an all-consuming need for vengeance.

If anyone understands that, it's me.

Deep down, she knows the only way to ease the pain is to give in to me and let justice bleed from her enemy's veins.

And she will. I'm the type of man to make sure of it.

But there's a problem. We have no idea who the enemy is. All we know is they want to destroy The Diamond Empire.

Underboss by Kristen Proby (With Me in Seattle Mafia #1)

 

🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

This spin-off series is amazing! Underboss will keep you guessing until the very end, while holding you emotionally hostage and unable to put the book down until you have closure.

When I first started reading, I was nervous about the lies and deceit between the main characters, but it's all worth it in the end, I promise. 

Nadia has endured silently, more than anyone could possible imagine, as she keeps the attacks hidden. Her strength, and often-times stubborn nature, is what drew me in, as I love a strong female lead character.

When someone targets multiple mafia families, Carmine and Nadia are forced to put their differences aside and unite to find who's behind the attacks, before another loved one is killed.

The dual narration in the audiobook takes the story to a whole new level. Bringing the characters to life and making you feel like your part of the mafia right along with them.

This book was everything I could've hoped for and more. I was enamored with the With Me in Seattle series, so I was excited to dive into this new spin-off. It definitely reignited my love for the mafia and I can't wait for more!

SUMMARY:

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes an all new family in her With Me In Seattle world! Hold on to your seat as we introduce you to Kristen's new MAFIA FAMILY!

As the eldest son of Seattle's current mob boss, Carmine Martinelli's life has never really been his own. But he doesn't mind because his family means more to him than his life. Which is why he's determined to make those responsible for the death of his aunt and uncle pay -- in inventive and gruesome ways. And what better way to do that than to infiltrate the Russian mafia from the inside? It's a good thing the bratva's princess is stunning and seemingly willing to do whatever he asks. This vengeance could be the perfect mix of business and pleaure.

Nadia Tarenkov has several things stacked against her: she's a woman, and she's not the eldest child in her family. But it doesn't matter. She has her sights set on ruling the syndicate, and she always gets what she wants. When the heir to one of the States' most powerful crime families comes knocking, Nadia sees it for the gift it is. He thinks he has her fooled, but she's smarter, more cunning, and always two steps ahead. She'll beat the gorgeous mobster at his own game, and secure her place in the fold.

What neither of them takes into consideration, however, is that they aren't the only ones with deadly plans in motion. To survive, they'll have to come clean and work together -- and acknowledge that the growing love they've been pretending isn't there, is very real.

Pushing You Away by Kennedy Fox (Ex-Con Duet series #3)

 

💜💜💜💜💜

Another epic duet from Kennedy Fox! Pushing You Away was over way too soon for me, but that could also be due to the fact that I've been anxious for Noah's story ever since reading Tyler & Gemma's duet.

Every time I go into book 1 of a KF duet, I know I'm in for a roller coaster ride, and this one was no different. With plenty of character building and trying to correct past wrongs, you'll fall in love with the Katie and Noah along the way.

I'm still questioning how everything ties in, cuz I'm a nut like that, and try to figure the villain out. I'm just proud that I called the crazy right away in one instance, but extremely nervous how everything is going to pan out in the next book.

Definitely counting down the days until Holding You Close releases, and I'm sure #@$% will hit the fan then! Don't miss this heart-stopping, romantic series that will leave your head spinning.

**While this duet can be read as a standalone, the previous duets are not required, but it's more enjoyable if you've read Gemma & Tyler's story in books #1 & 2.

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

I've been in love with my best friend Katie Walker for as long as I can remember. We may have shared our deepest, darkest secrets but that one I've kept to myself. Before I got the courage to confess my true feelings, my cousin Gabe moved to town and swept Katie off her feet.

I should've admitted how I felt but I couldn't -- especially once they got married.

When I caught Gabe cheating on his pregnant wife, I snapped. A deadly fight erupted and before I could comprehend what happened, I was charged with his murder and sent to prison.

The day I'm released, I go straight to Katie's house. But after pushing her away for a decade while I was behind bars -- she slams the door in my face -- wanting nothing to do with me.

While she's determined to pretend I don't exist, this time I'm not going anywhere.

PUSHING YOU AWAY is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's book 1 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.

Wild Child by Audrey Carlan (Soul Sister #1)

  

💜💜💜💜💜

When tragedy strikes Simone, her family rallies around her, offering their strength and support while the hunt for a killer continues. To what lengths will she go to keep her family safe, and how many innocent lives will be lost along the way?

My heart shattered a little with this book, but I'd do it all over again if I could. Audrey Carlan draws you in to the lives of foster sisters who are closer than blood, and makes you want to envelop them all in one ginormous hug to protect them.

What an amazing start to yet another great series! I'm still reeling from the story even days later, but immediately ordered the paperback so I can make my BFF read it as well. Filled with romance, drama, suspense and a little family humor, I know you'll fall in love with this story too!

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance

🙈 Suspense

SUMMARY:

Twice my life changed in a single day.

The first was when I lost my parents. Hand in hand I walked with my big sister up the steps of Kerrighan House, a foster home for girls. We were lucky to be met with open arms and a house filled with children just like us. Children who'd lost everything. From that day forward, we were raised as one big family. Our bonds of sisterhood were strengthened through shared experience, pain, sacrifice, and love. Sisters not by blood, but by choice.

Soul sisters.

The second day my life changed was on the worst day of my adult life. My boyfriend broke up with me via text. My sleazy boss hit on me, forcing me to quit my job I desperately needed. And the cherry on top, was getting pulled over by an FBI Agent. Little did I know, he'd also save my life that night.

From the moment we met, Agent Fontaine wouldn't dare let me out of his sight. And between his alpha ways, kind brown eyes, and heroism, I was lost to the man who hid behind his job. But this agent had a rule: never fall for a woman you've saved.

Yet I wasn't just any woman. I was known among my sisters for taking risks and dreaming big. I was the wild child of the group. We were raised to appreciate every day as the gift it was, and not let anything stand in our way. The more I got to know the brooding, serious FBI man, the more I realized maybe it was my duty to save him.

Southern Comfort by Natasha Madison (Southern Series #2)

❤❤❤❤❤

Southern Comfort is a wild ride from start to finish! This story starts off with a bang, literally, and just takes off from there.

Readers are introduced to Olivia in Southern Chance, so definitely read that first. All you know is that she's running from something in her past, which eventually is explained in this book.

A damsel in distress, one hot cowboy willing to come to her rescue and do whatever it takes to protect her...sign me up!

One twist after another will keep you on the edge of your seat and unable to put this book down. This was quite possibly the fastest I've ever devoured a book, and I highly recommend this series!

SUMMARY:

Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.

Olivia
When you find out that your fiance is arrested for swindling over ten million dollars from his clients, you do what any sane woman would do. You escape reality and go undercover, trading in your city-girl Louboutins for country-pumpkin cowboy boots.

It wasn't a forever change -- it was temporary. I only had to stay here until things back home got straightened out, or so I thought.

Casey
I was riding horses before I was walking, or at least that was what they told me. I always knew I would take over the family farm. It's in my blood.

Country boy at heart, the minute I saw her dragging her luggage up the gravel driveway I knew she was out of my league.

I shouldn't have started anything with her, because I knew she was just passing through.

I couldn't stop it, I fell in love with her. Even though I knew, in the end, she would leave me.

Better than Sexy by Carly Phillips (Sexy #3)

❤❤❤❤❤

Better than Sexy is a brutally beautiful tale! Fate is such a fickle creature, who else would have you falling for the same man who's twin was killed by your own brother?

Landon has never fully recovered from losing his twin, but he's doing the best he can and just when things in his life are looking up, along comes another twist in the form of temptation with a past.

Vivi wants to live her own life, out of the shadow of the horrible person her brother has become. After a video of her performing goes viral, she's thrown into a whirlwind of success, but can she truly let herself be happy if she's not honest with the people she's starting to care for?

I was nervous about the dynamics of the Clark family - were they all going to be in denial of the pure evilness of their son/brother? Were they estranged? Was he going to somehow escape and make their lives a living nightmare?

Even knowing what was most likely to come in this story (from reading the previous books), I was not emotionally prepared for how the characters would still haunt me even after finishing.

I loved the chemistry between Landon and Vivi, and the anticipation of when the truth would be discovered, let alone the fallout from it, kept me on my toes and unable to put the book down! A wonderful addition to the Sexy Series and I can't wait until the next one.

**While this can be read as a stand alone, it's more enjoyable if you read the series in order, as they refer to the outcome and events from previous characters and books.

 💧 Drama

Summary:

Insta-love only happens in the movies.

Insta-lust? That she'd buy into.

Until she meets take-charge club owner Landon Bennett and falls head over heels at a glance.

When hot as sin Landon Bennet offers sexy songstress Vivienne Clark a summer residency at his popular Manhattan nightclub, it's the opportunity of a lifetime and she can't resist. Add in the man's obvious interest and seductive attention and life is perfect.

Until she puts together the pieces of his past. Fate might have brought them together, but is the intimate relationship they've been building strong enough to overcome one painful fact. She's the sister of the man who killed his twin.

Bullseye by Monica James (The Monsters Within Duet #1)

💛💛💛💛💛

Bullseye will break your heart! Monica James is the master of romantic suspense, and don't even get me started on her crazy plot twists. My recommendation when reading any of her books is to throw all expectations out the window, and brace yourself for a wild ride that will wreck you in the best of ways.

Bullseye has had 12 years to plan his revenge on those that took the one thing he cared about, away from him. He'll stop at nothing until then and the last thing he needs is a woman to serve as a distraction, let alone get tied up in the darkness he dwells in.

Lily is doing the best she can as a single mother, while holding on to her dignity and self-respect. She's incredibly strong for someone that has had everything ripped away from her and continues to struggle on a daily basis.

This book ripped my heart out and held it in it's fragile hands from the first chapter...I'm not sure I'll ever get it back. With characters that will gut you, making you go back and forth between wanting to yell or cry, all while loving them with your whole heart.

Bullseye is a book I recommend clearing your schedule to read, as you won't be able to focus on anything else until you've finished. A beautifully woven and twisted tale by an author that has no shame in stomping on my heart. I need the next book now!

💄💄💄💄💄

Fashion Jungle is a cutthroat look at the world of fashion! This book will keep you on the edge of your seat with suspense, drama and romance. I'm incredibly blown away by and can't wait to read it all over again.

The story revolves around the 4 main people left behind after the death of their friend and sister. Four very different lives, with secrets behind them all.

I could NOT put this book down once I started it, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I even ugly cried at one point. Such a tragic and beautifully woven tales of love, loss and lies.

Summary:

Four women...Four very different paths. One incredibly cutthroat world.

Welcome to the Jungle.

Until one mistake irrevocably changes both of their lives forever. Fortunately, both now and then, Brittany has wonderful support systems, including her tribe.

The leader of the tribe and a model who's fought every battle and obstacle in the industry, Zoe, knows her worth. Until a sex tape scandal rocks her world. She sees no choice but to put her trust in the one man she shouldn't, to make it all go away and help her succeed. Unfortunately, not only is he mired in New York's underbelly, he wants repayment...with interest. Namely, her hand in marriage.

Despite her seemingly perfect life, Everlee has problems of her own. Not only has her world-renowned photographer husband been cheating, but it's actually much worse than that. The things surrounding what he's done are so dark and dangerous, Everlee's life may actually be in jeopardy.

And then there's Danica, cold, dead in the ground Danica. Some secrets stay hidden while others are just waiting to be discovered - hers has the power to alter the industry forever.

In the world of the Fashion Jungle, it's easily eat or be eaten...but, if you make it out alive, you just might have a story to tell - though it will likely be one of secrets, lies, deceit, and loss.

Gypsy King is a wild ride you don't want to miss! You should literally take everything you think you know about this book, and throw it out the window. I was completely taken from the first page and couldn't stop til I finished, immediately wanting more.

❤❤❤❤❤

Dark King is a thrill ride I could stay on forever! Have you ever encountered a series that you wish you could forget, just so you could read it all over again like it's the first time. THIS is how the Advantage Play series feels!

Filled with plot twists, deceptions and characters you don't know if you can trust - this book will keep you turning the page faster than you can read. (Try not to be a douche and send the author crazy messages when you're done - yes, I'm that person.)

The race to try to save King's sister from the enemy and Ace's friend who mysteriously disappeared is all blended perfectly with the anticipation of a showdown that could mean the end for King and Ace.

This series just gets better with each book and I have a countdown on my phone for when the third book releases. For someone who writes such sweet and tender romances, Kelsie Rae sure knows how to bring you to the dark side, and make you want to stay!

Wild Card by Kelsie Rae (Advantage Play #1)

❤❤❤❤❤

Wild Card is a story worth betting all your money on! Kelsie Rae writes sweet romances, but man did she knock the Mafia genre out of the friggin park with this one!!!

As an avid fan of NCIS, I was immediately sold with the rules that Ace lives by. Her strength and ability to read people is admirable, and you can't help but fall for her the more King gets to know her.

Ace and Kingston's chemistry will have you begging for something to ignite between them, and the gentleness of the Mafia King will have your heart swooning. I'm digging into Dark King right now, I can up the coffee intake tomorrow, lol.

I enjoyed the secondary characters, mainly due to their air of mystery, always keeping you guessing how their tied into the plot, and if they're going to turn into a villain or hero at some point.

My eyes are burning while typing this, cuz I wasn't able to stop reading, once I started the book 5 hours ago...not even for bathroom breaks...fair warning, be prepared to forgo everything once you begin this journey.

Soon, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a war she isn't prepared to fight. With a target on her back, and intimate feelings she refuses to acknowledge, she'll have to decide if she's all in, or if she'll be taken for all she's worth.

Forever My Saint by Monica James (All The Pretty Things Trilogy #3)

💛💛💛💛💛

Forever My Saint has irrevocably wrecked me in the best of ways! While it was pure torture to wait for the third book to release (and you MUST read the first two before reading the book OR this any further), I wouldn't change a page, moment or tear shed.

I can't count the number of times I wanted to message the author and ask her WTF she was thinking. On several occasions, I either wanted to throw my Kindle or binge on an entire carton of ice cream to soothe my soul.

Readers will get the answers they've been looking for, and the closure they may not want, but the ride is worth the end. Saint will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I have a new appreciation for Dark Romances AND their authors!

All hope was lost until Zoey Hennessy walked back into my world, shaking it up beyond repair when she uttered two simple words.

He's alive.

I believed he was dead. I saw it with my own two eyes. But when Zoey proves he's alive and being held captive by a monster, I know what I have to do.

It's time I saved him.

The plan is dangerous, and there are no guarantees I will survive. But if this nightmare has taught me one thing, it's that I don't cower in fear. I am a woman hell-bent on getting back the man she loves, and nothing, no one will stand in my way.

However, what I uncover can only be described as hell on earth. The darkness has finally won, and Saint is lost to me forever.

Or so I thought.

Aleksei Popov is anything but a hero, yet in this story - he's mine. Everything I believed in is about to be turned upside down, and with freedom within my grasp, I wonder how far I will go, and who I will sacrifice in order to set myself free.
