Goodreads Synopsis: An enemies-to-lovers, fake relationship romantic comedy. The Happy Haven Trailer Park is not where I hoped to be at age twenty-five. Circumstances have left me without a job or a car in a small town where work is scarce. When my insufferable neighbor approaches me with a very indecent proposal to co-star in his videos on the Lonely Hands app, I have to resist the impulse to punch him in the mouth. I'll admit, Monroe is hot with his dark eyes and quick grin, but he's the most infuriating man I've ever met. After weeks of no luck finding a new job, I finally accept his offer with one condition. Nobody can know what we're doing. Now, I'm stuck faking a relationship to hide the real reason that I'm spending so many nights at the home of a man I despise. It's going to be a long summer. Can be read as a standalone romance. Fake Around and Find Out by S.M. Shade | Goodreads Thank you to S.M. Shade and Wordsmith Publicity for providing me with an ebook copy of Fake Around and Find Out for me to read and review. This was such a page turner filled with humor, spice, and romance! I absolutely loved the snarky, hilarious relationship between the 2 main characters. I laughed out loud so many times while reading. The chemistry was also off the charts which balanced the comedy of the story beautifully. Shade wrote her characters personalities beautifully including excellent growth and development. Can't wait to read the next in the series! 5 Stars!

Goodreads Synopsis: Terence Bailey is about to be released from prison for breaking and entering, though investigators have long suspected him in the murders of six women. As his freedom approaches, Bailey gets a surprise visit from Maddison Logan, a hot, young influencer with a huge social media following. Hours later, Maddison disappears, and police suspect she’s been kidnapped—or worse. Is Maddison’s disappearance connected to her visit to Bailey? Why was she visiting him in the first place? When they hit a wall in the investigation, the FBI reluctantly asks for Rachel’s help in finding the missing influencer. Maddison seems only to exist on social media; she has no family, no friends, and other than in her posts, most people have never seen her. Who is she, really? Using a fake Instagram account, Rachel Krall goes undercover to BuzzCon, a popular influencer conference, where she discovers a world of fierce rivalry that may have turned lethal. When police find the body of a woman with a tattoo of a snake eating its tail, the FBI must consider a chilling possibility: Bailey has an accomplice on the outside and a dangerous obsession with influencers, including Rachel Krall herself. Suddenly a target of a monster hiding in plain sight, Rachel is forced to confront the very real dangers that lurk in the dark corners of the internet. Rachel Krall, the true crime podcaster star of Megan Goldin’s acclaimed Night Swim returns to search for a popular social media influencer who disappeared after visiting a suspected serial killer. Dark Corners (Rachel Krall, #2) by Megan Goldin | Goodreads Thank you to Megan Goldin, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for providing me with an ebook copy of Dark Corners for me to read and review. This story was full of so many twists and turns and little details that I was kept engrossed from cover to cover. This is the second book in the series following the main character, true crime Podcaster, Rachel Krall. I read Dark Corners directly following book one and I already am wishing for book 3. That's how much the characters and the storytelling and the plot style have truly hooked me. I love that along the way we gradually find out more and more details about the main character and her personality. This story was filled with so many interwoven pieces of the puzzle that I was kept guessing how they all would fit together. There were a few details that I had figured out or strongly suspected along the way, but the suspense of the story kept me intrigued right to the very end. I am anxiously awaiting book 3. 5 Stars! Goodreads Synopsis: After the first season of her true crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall is now a household name―and the last hope for thousands of people seeking justice. But she’s used to being recognized for her voice, not her face. Which makes it all the more unsettling when she finds a note on her car windshield, addressed to her, begging for help. The small town of Neapolis is being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. The town’s golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping a high school student, the beloved granddaughter of the police chief. Under pressure to make Season Three a success, Rachel throws herself into interviewing and investigating―but the mysterious letters keep showing up in unexpected places. Someone is following her, and she won’t stop until Rachel finds out what happened to her sister twenty-five years ago. Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned, but the letters insists she was murdered―and when Rachel starts asking questions, nobody seems to want to answer. The past and present start to collide as Rachel uncovers startling connections between the two cases that will change the course of the trial and the lives of everyone involved. Electrifying and propulsive, The Night Swim asks: What is the price of a reputation? Can a small town ever right the wrongs of its past? And what really happened to Jenny? The Night Swim by Megan Goldin | Goodreads What an intense read! The Night Swim is a unique twist on a crime thriller/legal drama! The podcast angle is interesting and intriguing. The plot had me feeling so many emotions; angry, sad, outraged, fearful and so many more. The blunt way Goldin delved into the divisive nature of rape cases, especially those where the accused and victim are known to each other was done so powerfully. The Night Swim was the first book I've read by Megan Goldin and I can't wait to read more! This is definitely one that I will be recommending! 5 Stars! |
