Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney ~ My Thoughts #DaisyDarker #NetGalley @alicewriterland

Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney
Psychological Thriller, 352 pages
Published August 30, 2022 by Flatiron Books

After years of avoiding each other, Daisy Darker’s entire family is assembling for Nana’s 80th birthday party in Nana’s crumbling gothic house on a tiny tidal island. Finally back together one last time, when the tide comes in, they will be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours.

The family arrives, each of them harboring secrets. Then at the stroke of midnight, as a storm rages, Nana is found dead. And an hour later, the next family member follows…

Trapped on an island where someone is killing them one by one, the Darkers must reckon with their present mystery as well as their past secrets, before the tide comes in and all is revealed.

With a wicked wink to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, Daisy Darker’s unforgettable twists will leave readers reeling.


My thoughts about Daisy Darker ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"I was born with a broken heart."

I have read and loved other books by Alice Feeney. They were all 5 star reads for me, keeping me on my seat the whole time. I should have reserved some of those stars (not really) because this one deserves so many more! If her other books were 5 stars, this one should be 6+. This one blew my mind and blew me out of the water! OMG!


I can't believe how twisted the plot became and I was stumped as to how all of this could be happening. And then.... then.... when it becomes clear, or rather, sort of explained—mind blown! I felt like I needed to read the book again, just to make sure of what I just read and to see if it made more sense the second time around. 

I highly recommend Daisy Darker for all of you psychological thriller readers out there! Be prepared to be blown away and make sure you have plenty of time to read when you open the first page. You will not be able to stop!

I received a copy of Daisy Darker from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion of the book.

New Release! Sleepless by Romy Hausmann ~ My Thoughts #Sleepless #NetGalley


Sleepless by Romy Hausmann
Mystery, Thriller, 336 pages
Publication date, October 19, 2021 by Flatiron Books

Dark secrets past and present collide in Sleepless, a haunting novel of guilt and retribution from Romy Hausmann, the international best-selling author of Dear Child.

It's been years since Nadja Kulka was convicted of a cruel crime. After being released from prison, she's wanted nothing more than to live a normal life: nice flat, steady job, even a few friends. But when one of those friends, Laura von Hoven - free-spirited beauty and wife of Nadja's boss - kills her lover and begs Nadja for her help, Nadja can't seem to refuse.

The two women make for a remote house in the woods, the perfect place to bury a body. but their plan quickly falls apart and Nadja finds herself outplayed, a pawn in a bizarre game in which she is both the perfect victim and the perfect murderer.


My thoughts about Sleepless ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First line—"My angel, I've written you dozens of letters and, now more than ever, regret never having sent a single one of them. I ought to have done, Definitely."

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It was confusing and seemed to be all over the place. Was that the writers intent? I imagine so. But it was sometimes hard to follow and understand what was going on and which characters did what and how they were connected. Some of the story takes place in the past, some in the present so there was that back and forth going on. Eventually, that all comes together and gave me a better understanding of the whole story. 

The story itself was good—exciting and suspenseful, it was just a little cumbersome to get to the end of it all. I loved Romy' debut novel Dear Child and was excited to see what she wrote next. Sleepless is a good second novel and I can't wait to see what comes next from this amazing author. 

I received an ARC of Sleepless via NetGalley and the publisher. This is my honest opinion.

About the author


Romy Hausmann was born in the former GDR in 1981. At the age of twenty-four she became chief editor at a film production company in Munich.

Release Day! Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney ~ My Thoughts #RockPaperScissors #NetGalley

 Happy Release Day!!


Congrats Alice
on the release today of
Rock Paper Scissors!

Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney
Mystery, Thriller, 304 pages
Published September 7, 2021 by Flatiron Books

Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts – paper, cotton, pottery, tin – and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

Rock Paper Scissors is the latest exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney.


My thoughts about Rock Paper Scissors ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"February 2020. My husband doesn't recognize my face."

Whew! What a twisty ride this one was. Not only was the setting sinister—an abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere, during a nasty snowstorm—but then the unexplained happenings in the house had me on edge from the get-go.

All through the book, you know that things aren't right—with the place and with the people—but you won't be able to wrap your head around what it is. Until you do. Once that twist is revealed, then you are taken on a whole new ride. 

Rock Paper Scissors is a one-of-a-kind thriller that takes the reader down a road they have not gone down before. I loved that uniqueness and highly recommend this one.

The Guest Book by Sarah Blake ~ My Thoughts #TheGuestBook

The Guest Book

The Guest Book by Sarah Blake
Historical World War II Fiction, 490 pages
Published May 7th 2019 by Flatiron Books

An unforgettable love story, a novel about past mistakes and betrayals that ripple throughout generations, The Guest Book examines not just a privileged American family, but a privileged America. It is a literary triumph.

The Guest Book follows three generations of a powerful American family, a family that “used to run the world”.

And when the novel begins in 1935, they still do. Kitty and Ogden Milton appear to have everything—perfect children, good looks, a love everyone envies. But after a tragedy befalls them, Ogden tries to bring Kitty back to life by purchasing an island in Maine. That island, and its house, come to define and burnish the Milton family, year after year after year. And it is there that Kitty issues a refusal that will haunt her till the day she dies.

In 1959 a young Jewish man, Len Levy, will get a job in Ogden’s bank and earn the admiration of Ogden and one of his daughters, but the scorn of everyone else. Len’s best friend Reg Pauling has always been the only black man in the room—at Harvard, at work, and finally at the Miltons’ island in Maine.

An island that, at the dawn of the 21st century, this last generation doesn’t have the money to keep. When Kitty’s granddaughter hears that she and her cousins might be forced to sell it, and when her husband brings back disturbing evidence about her grandfather’s past, she realizes she is on the verge of finally understanding the silences that seemed to hover just below the surface of her family all her life.

An ambitious novel that weaves the American past with its present, The Guest Book looks at the racism and power that has been systemically embedded in the US for generations. Brimming with gorgeous writing and bitterly accurate social criticism, it is a literary tour de force. 


My thoughts about The Guest Book ~~ 

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"'It's the usual story,' the man at the tiller reflected, regarding the beautiful derelict on the hill. 'At the end of old money there is real estate.'"

This book has a lot of redeeming qualities—great characters, a wonderful setting, the multi-generational family with lots of issues. I love these multi-generational sagas which allow me to really connect with the family members and watch them grow, and hopefully mature with age. 

The only negative I have about the book is the jumping around that happened. Without warning, I found myself in another time and place and it took some thinking to figure out where and when the author was taking me. Maybe that was the author's intent, to make the reader think a bit more? But I found it distracting. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this story and appreciated the author's ability to show the social and racial norms of the time period. I look forward to the next book by this author. 

About the author


Sarah is the author of the novels, Grange House, the bestselling The Postmistress, and The Guest Book; a chapbook of poems, Full Turn, and the artist book Runaway Girls in collaboration with the artist Robin Kahn.

Dear Child by Romy Hausmann ~ My Thoughts #DearChild #NetGalley

Dear Child

Dear Child by Romy Hausmann
Print and e-book, 352 pages
Expected publication: October 6th 2020 by Flatiron Books

Gone Girl meets Room in this page-turning thriller from one of Germany's hottest new talents.

In a windowless shack in the woods, Lena and her two children live a life that follows the rules set by their captor, the father: Meals, bathroom visits, study time are strictly scheduled and meticulously observed. He says he is protecting them from the dangers lurking in the outside world.

One day Lena manages to flee, but the nightmare continues. There is the question of whether she really is the woman named "Lena," who disappeared without a trace fourteen years ago?—she has the distinctive scar, but the family swears she isn’t the girl they lost. The police and Lena's family are all desperately trying to piece together a puzzle that doesn't quite seem to fit. And it feels to Lena as if the tormentor she fled still somehow wants to get her back.

Dear Child is told from three points-of-view: the woman who escaped and is coming to terms with life outside the shack; the missing Lena’s father, who would do anything to get her back and is becoming more and more unhinged; and the daughter raised entirely in that isolated world, a little girl with Asperger’s and a photographic memory who may know more than she’s letting on.

Twisty, suspenseful, and psychologically clever, this captivating thriller, which starts where others end, has all the ingredients of a breakout hit. 


My thoughts about Dear Child ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First lines—"Student, 23, missing in Munich. Munich (LR) - The Munich police are searching for clues relating to the whereabouts of Lena Beck, 23, from Munich-Haidhausen."

This book drew me in from the very first sentence and had me racing through the pages. I was taken on a rollercoaster ride all the way to the amazing ending. 

The story, told in three different points of view, had me confused as to what was really going on. Who was the 'bad guy' and what was the truth? As the author weaves and then unravels the story of Lena, I found the answers to my questions. Honestly, they were not at all what I expected them to be. I love that in a story—when the author takes the story to a place that I had not seen coming. 

Dear Child is the debut novel for this author and she hit it out of the park. This is one that you just have to read! I can't wait to see what Romy writes next! 

I received a copy of Dear Child from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

His & Hers by Alice Feeney ~ My Thoughts #HisAndHers #NetGalley

51808785. sx318 sy475

His & Hers by Alice Feeney
320 pages
Published July 28th 2020 by Flatiron Books

There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying.

Anna Andrews finally has what she wants. Almost. She’s worked hard to become the main TV presenter of the BBC’s lunchtime news, putting work before friends, family, and her now ex-husband. So, when someone threatens to take her dream job away, she’ll do almost anything to keep it.

When asked to cover a murder in Blackdown―the sleepy countryside village where she grew up―Anna is reluctant to go. But when the victim turns out to be one of her childhood friends, she can’t leave. It soon becomes clear that Anna isn’t just covering the story, she’s at the heart of it.

DCI Jack Harper left London for a reason, but never thought he’d end up working in a place like Blackdown. When the body of a young woman is discovered, Jack decides not to tell anyone that he knew the victim, until he begins to realise he is a suspect in his own murder investigation.

One of them knows more than they are letting on. Someone isn’t telling the truth. Alternating between Anna's and Jack's points of view, His & Hers is a fast-paced, complex, and dark puzzle that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

     

My thoughts about His & Hers ~~ 

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"It wasn't love at first sight. I can admit that now."

This book blew my mind. The clues in the writing were so cryptic that just when I starting thinking I knew who was behind the evil, something would make me swerve in a whole different direction in my thinking.

Seriously, I got to the point where I thought for sure everyone had to be guilty of all these horrible murders. It just didn't make sense—they all had incentive, motive, and guilt. I really want to go back and re-read this book. Knowing now 'whodunit', I know I would interpret the clues differently. It would be interesting to experience it again in a whole new light.

His & Hers is a definite page-turner as you will race to the end as you try to figure out it for yourself. I highly recommend it but make sure that you have plenty of time to read it because you are not going to be able to stop once you start.

I received a copy of His & Hers from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Happy Release Day!!

Congrats Gill
on the release today of
Miss Austen!

Miss Austen by Gill Hornby
Print and e-book, 288 pages
Published April 7th 2020 by Flatiron Books

Whoever looked at an elderly lady and saw the young heroine she once was?

England, 1840. For the two decades following the death of her beloved sister, Jane, Cassandra Austen has lived alone, spending her days visiting friends and relations and quietly, purposefully working to preserve her sister’s reputation. Now in her sixties and increasingly frail, Cassandra goes to stay with the Fowles of Kintbury, family of her long-dead fiancé, in search of a trove of Jane’s letters. Dodging her hostess and a meddlesome housemaid, Cassandra eventually hunts down the letters and confronts the secrets they hold, secrets not only about Jane but about Cassandra herself. Will Cassandra bare the most private details of her life to the world, or commit her sister’s legacy to the flames?

Moving back and forth between the vicarage and Cassandra’s vibrant memories of her years with Jane, interwoven with Jane’s brilliantly reimagined lost letters, Miss Austen is the untold story of the most important person in Jane’s life. With extraordinary empathy, emotional complexity, and wit, Gill Hornby finally gives Cassandra her due, bringing to life a woman as captivating as any Austen heroine.

Release Day! The Yellow Bird Sings by Jennifer Rosner ~ My Thoughts #NetGalley #TheYellowBirdSings

Happy Release Day!

Congratulations Jennifer
on the release today of
The Yellow Bird Sings!

The Yellow Bird Sings
by Jennifer Rosner

Print and e-book, 304 pages
Published March 3rd 2020 by Flatiron Books

In Poland, as World War II rages, a mother hides with her young daughter, a musical prodigy whose slightest sound may cost them their lives.

As Nazi soldiers round up the Jews in their town, Róża and her 5-year-old daughter, Shira, flee, seeking shelter in a neighbor’s barn. Hidden in the hayloft day and night, Shira struggles to stay still and quiet, as music pulses through her and the farmyard outside beckons. To soothe her daughter and pass the time, Róża tells her a story about a girl in an enchanted garden:

The girl is forbidden from making a sound, so the yellow bird sings. He sings whatever the girl composes in her head: high-pitched trills of piccolo; low-throated growls of contrabassoon. Music helps the flowers bloom.

In this make-believe world, Róża can shield Shira from the horrors that surround them. But the day comes when their haven is no longer safe, and Róża must make an impossible choice: whether to keep Shira by her side or give her the chance to survive apart.

Inspired by the true stories of Jewish children hidden during World War II, Jennifer Rosner’s debut is a breathtaking novel about the unbreakable bond between a mother and a daughter. Beautiful and riveting, The Yellow Bird Sings is a testament to the triumph of hope—a whispered story, a bird’s song—in even the darkest of times.


My thoughts about The Yellow Bird Sings ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"The girl is forbidden from making a sound, so the yellow bird sings."

The Yellow Bird Sings is a heart-breaking story about a very hard time in history. People were secluded in hiding to save their lives, and the lives of their loved ones. Not only were they in danger but the people hiding them were as well. It was a scary time to be alive. 

But it is also a heartwarming story, as the reader witnesses the strength, love, and resilience of this amazing mother and her beautiful, talented daughter. I was emotionally drawn to the pair as they just tried to survive from day to day, praying with them that today was not going to be the day that they died. 

The writing in the book is truly remarkable. I'm impressed that this is a debut novel and I will be anxiously awaiting Jennifer's next book. 

I received an ARC of The Yellow Bird Sings from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion of the book.

About the author

Release Day! The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle ~ My Thoughts #TheDinnerList #FlatironBooks

Happy Release Day!

The Dinner List

The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle
Print and ebook, 288 pages
Published September 11th 2018 by Flatiron Books

For fans of Me Before You and One Day comes a wondrous novel of first love, loss, and the dinner of a lifetime.

When Sabrina Nielsen arrives at her thirtieth birthday dinner she finds at the table not just her best friend, but also her favorite professor from college, her father, her ex-fiance, Tobias, and Audrey Hepburn.

At one point or another, we’ve all been asked to name five people, living or dead, with whom we’d like to have dinner. Why do we choose the people we do? And what if that dinner was to actually happen? These are the questions Sabrina contends with in Rebecca Serle’s utterly captivating novel, The Dinner List, a story imbued with the same delightful magical realism as Sliding Doors, and The Rosie Project.

As the appetizers are served, wine poured, and dinner table conversation begins, it becomes clear that there’s a reason these six people have been gathered together, and as Rebecca Serle masterfully traces Sabrina’s love affair with Tobias and her coming of age in New York City, The Dinner List grapples with the definition of romance, the expectations of love, and how we navigate our way through it to happiness. Oh, and of course, wisdom from Audrey Hepburn. 

Delicious but never indulgent, sweet with just the right amount of bitter, The Dinner List is a modern romance for our times. Bon appetit. 


(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First line—"'We've been waiting for an hour.' That's what Audrey says. She states it with a little bit of an edge, her words just bordering on cursive. That's the thing I think first. Not Audrey Hepburn is at my birthday party but Audrey Hepburn is annoyed."

I really didn't know what to expect when I started this book. I didn't know much about the book and Rebecca Serle was a new-to-me author. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Haven't we all seen or been asked the question—'If you could invite 5 people to a dinner party, living or dead, who would they be?'

Well, we get dropped right into Sabrina's dinner party and as the night goes on we learn so much about her life, her loves, and her disappointments. The Dinner List was a very enjoyable escape, filled with great characters—such wise people seated around the table—helping Sabrina navigate through her past and her future on her 30th birthday. 

This was a quick, very satisfying read for me, one that made me stop and think about the 5 people I would invite to dinner. (That just may be a topic for another post some day.) Now that Rebecca is no longer a new-to-me author, I'll be checking out some of her other books. 

I received a copy of The Dinner List from Flatiron Books via The Girlfriend in exchange for my honest review. 

Congratulations Rebecca
on the release today of
The Dinner List!
