ARC Review: Love Letters to a Serial Killer

 I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

Hannah’s boyfriend has left her just as her best friend pulls away to spend time with her own boyfriend. When a series of women are found murdered, Hannah finds herself on a true crime forum, where she learns about William, the prime suspect. Hannah starts writing to William, originally from a place of anger, which soon turns into something else entirely when William writes back. 

William’s case becomes Hannah’s whole life. Then he is found not guilty and his life becomes Hannah’s life. But that doesn’t mean Hannah doesn’t still have her suspicions.

This was a great book. Hannah is a very complex character, and the other characters all add so much to the story. The author has some very interesting things to say about true crime culture and society’s obsession with true crime. There’s an amazing twist as well. I would recommend this book.

ARC Review: The Next Mrs. Parrish

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

This book, the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, continues the story of Amber, Jackson, and Daphne. Jackson is soon to be out of prison, something both Amber and Daphne are dreading. Amber just wants to protect her money, Daphne her children. But Jackson is back, and he’s brought a reckoning. 

This book was definitely full of surprises, and twists I didn’t see coming. There are only a few likable characters, but that is the point, giving readers people to root for. I felt the ending wrapped up the story nicely, and left me satisfied. I would recommend this book-but read the first one first.

ARC Review: If Something Happens to Me

 I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion or the review itself. 

If Something Happens to Me by Alex Finlay

People have always believed Ryan had something to do with the disappearance of his girlfriend, Ali, all those years ago. Ryan has tried to put the past behind him, but then Ali’s car is found, with a note labeled If something happens to me… Now Ryan is determined to finally figure out what happened to Ali, and his quest leads him on a collision course with others also trying to find the answer.

This book was okay, definitely not my favorite Finlay. I liked that all the storylines came together, but I wasn’t really into the result. I would recommend other Alex Finlay books over this one.
