Hidden by Rebecca Zanetti 4 1/2-StarsNew Series - Great, Sexy, Suspenseful Start
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I went and started another series with Karin Slaughter's newest. I really should stop doing that but she is so good. Plus I got it from the library super quickly. Way more quickly than I anticipated. So I started with Last Breath by Karin Slaughter which I did buy despite me not wanting to spend more money on books this month and am now reading The Good Daughter. Super stoked about it because Last Breath was such a good story.
I finished listening to Into the Darkness by Sibel Hodge and it was really good! Here’s my review.
I’m listening to Don't Believe It by Charlie Donlea.
I’m listening to Don't Believe It by Charlie Donlea.
Robin wrote: "Hope you like The Good Daughter, Christina. I'm planning on reading it next month."I'm only about 10% into this book and it is good so far. The prologue gave some great information regarding Charlie's childhood that the novella Last Breath brought up but didn't give a lot of details about. Then it skips to 28 years later and Charlie's life is completely different than what was happening in the prequel which was a little jarring to me because I didn't pay attention to the timeline close enough. Ooops.
