Started on 6/9/25.  It’s Lucinda so I have a feeling this one will go fast.  I absolutely love her work and can’t wait to start this one.
This book did NOT disappoint.  6/11/25 finished the book.  I could NOT put it down.
Single mom, raising a good son.  Party gets out of control and girl gets gang raped.  (Dark I know).  Boy claims no knowlege and girls parents go to police.  The story that unfolds is very very dark.

Lucinda never lets me down with a dark tale.  10/10 for me and a 2 day read.

6/12/25.  TikTok recommended this book.  I’ve read John before.  I just finished Lucinda’s book last night.  I think it’s going to be along the same lines…. haha get it?

6/21/25.  Finished in 9 days. Well this book is certainly a twisted revenge story.  Laura, the “End of the Line” volunteer finds “candidates” to help end their life to listen to their last breath.  Ryan’s wife is one of those victims.  He goes to great lengths to get her back for ending his wife’s life.  Who wins in the end?  Read it to find out.

I couldn’t put this book down once it got to the “meat” of the story.  Giving this book a 9/10.  Chapters were short, characters very well written.

Started on 4/2/25.  Finished on 4/30/25.  28 days.  Typical for me for a J.S. book.

A famous beauty star, her friends and ex boyfriends.  She is murdered and Lucas must find the killer.
Several more people are murdered who are the famous star’s friends or family.  Is it the creepy preacher, the weird art friend or someone you’d never suspect?

Lucas and Weather may be getting back together??  Then there is the hussy that he is sleeping with in this book but she goes back to France soon.

Overall I’ll give this one an 8/10

Amazon First Read: Started on 5/15/25.  Finished on 6/9/25. 25 Days.

Chapters were short.  Characters were written well.  Story drug on a bit for me.  I didn’t like going back and forth between past and present.  The chapter cliff hangers were few and far between but when done they were done well.

3 friends try and help the “fourth” friend escape her parents.  Mary Beth, the sister of the fourth girl was already banished by the parents.  The four girls promise to help Caroline and to meet at the 1 year anniversary of her escaping.
Then on the 25th anniversary Gordy gets murdered.  Is it Caroline?  Is it Talia?

Was a fairly decent read but it did drag a little.  I’m giving this book a 7/10.
