Until the Day I Die!

Until the Day I Die by Emily Carpenter
Print and e-book, 325 pages
Published March 12, 2019 by Lake Union Publishing

If there’s a healthy way to grieve, Erin Gaines hasn’t found it. After her husband’s sudden death, the runaway success of the tech company they built with their best friends has become overwhelming. Her nerves are frayed, she’s disengaged, and her frustrated daughter, Shorie, is pulling away from her. Maybe Erin’s friends and family are right. Maybe a few weeks at a spa resort in the Caribbean islands is just what she needs to hit the reset button…

Shorie is not only worried about her mother’s mental state but also for the future of her parents’ company. Especially when she begins to suspect that not all of Erin’s colleagues can be trusted. It seems someone is spinning an intricate web of deception—the foundation for a conspiracy that is putting everything, and everyone she loves, at risk. And she may be the only one who can stop it.

Now, thousands of miles away in a remote, and oftentimes menacing, tropical jungle, Erin is beginning to have similar fears. Things at the resort aren’t exactly how the brochure described, and unless she’s losing her mind, Erin’s pretty sure she wasn’t sent there to recover—she was sent to disappear.

I read an early copy of Until the Day I Die and loved it! Read my thoughts here. You're definitely going to want to add this to your TBR list.

My thoughts about Until the Day I Die ~~

Until the Day I Die is a story that kept me wondering and guessing until the end. And then there was the ending that I wasn't expecting. All the deceit, conniving, and suspense I felt throughout the whole story made this a definite page turner. Then there was the 'drop my jaw' conclusion. Genus!

Erin gets sent away to a retreat facility when her family decides she is not handling her husband's sudden death. But things are not what they seem there and it's anything but a restful retreat. Some of the things Erin had to deal with definitely got my heart racing.

And Shoire, Erin's daughter—what a strong, smart person she is. She knows something isn't right with her mom and the company her parents founded and she just keeps digging and never gives up, even when she doesn't know who to trust.

Emily Carpenter has once again written a story that I won't soon forget. This is one you need to read!

I received Until the Day I Die via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? February 25, 2019

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

A repeat of last week—snow, and more snow. Plus a blizzard on Sunday. Holy cow, the wind! Hubby and I went and got groceries Sunday morning then we stayed inside the rest of the day. 

We ended up with company for most of the weekend, with our son and his son spending Saturday afternoon with us. And then we ended up watching that same 4 year old grandson for most of Sunday. So it was a busy weekend with not much reading or blogging progress. Oh well, we were making memories, right? 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!

Snow, more snow. And wind and cold. That seems to be our lives right now. Our plans for the weekend with some of the kids and grandkiddos had to be scraped because of the winter weather. Ugh! 

We did make it over to our daughter's house here in town yesterday for some wonderful chili and family time. So we did get to see some of the kids and grands, just not the ones from out of town that we had planned on seeing.  

I'm enjoying a three day weekend because of President's Day so hopefully I can sit under a blanket today and get some reading in today. Bliss! 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!

I am sooooo ready for winter to be over. It has been so blasted cold here and the snow is endless. We have a huge pile in our parking lot that will be there until July, I'm sure. 😉 Okay, now I'll stop complaining about the weather, for a little while anyway. 

On the reading side of my life, I stayed up way too late last night finishing The Beautiful Strangers (pub date 3/5), but I just had to get to the end. It is such a wonderful story! And then it's always exciting to dive into the next book on my list. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!
