Started this book on 10/14 and finished on 11/27/24.  It’s not that it wasn’t a good book, it was super long.  499 pages.  It’s the first time I’ve read the author.  Chapters were on the long side.  The move was going on and we were very busy a lot.  When it came time to read, I could only stay away for a few pages.

Characters were well written.  You knew who everyone was.  Once it unfolded and all the secrets were revealed it was easier to understand.

Famous author dies in her hotel room.  The reporter who has been following her for her story is blamed.  Turns out it’s not her.  The strange man, is it her ex husband, is blamed.  Not him either.  Then there is the woman who was invited to the book signing out of the blue.  Not her either.  Read it to find out who did it.

Giving this book a 6/10 just because it took soooo long to read.  44 days to read this book.

Well, it’s Lucinda so of course I’m going to read it.  I started it on 9/1/24. Finished on 9/15/24 (14 Days)
The book was just OK for me.  Lucinda has written some bangers and this one just isn’t one of them.

It revolves around 4 girls who go to camp every year.  They’re outcast kids otherwise.  The ring leader Blakely is not a nice person.
She gets the other 3 involved in a prank that goes terrible wrong.  They live with the guilt for 25 years.  Then Blakely gets them AGAIN!

I’m only giving this book a 6/10.  Characters were well written and chapters were generally short.

This is an Amazon First Read.  Starting the book on 8/16/26.  Never read the author before.

Finished on 8/31/24.  I liked it.  There were lots of characters.  Chapters were kind of long.  Rent a house from a slum lord and see what “ghosts” you can conjure up.  A dead body in the wall behind the closet, voices sounding like they’re in the shower.  Do the kids get their revenge?  Read the book and find out.

I found this author and just finished 1 book.  I’m starting this book in the Devin Grey series on 7/19/24.  I’ll let you know how it goes. I just finished this book on 8/16/24.  That’s the longest it’s taken me to read a book.  I mean it was OK but not that great.  Lots of geopolitical stuff and Russian sleeper network in the US.  Names became muddy but the main characters were written well.  Devin’s mother left him cryptic notes to find the mother load of info on the sleeper cell.  He recruited people to burn it to the ground.  Well, they didn’t exactly do that.

I’m giving this book a 6/10.  29 days….Damn.
