Finlay Donovan series by Elle Cosimano -> Restarting May 26th, 2025

[Jamie]

I read the first couple of chapters of book 1 and I’m going to walk away. :(

Love that you guys all loved this though!

[Carrie]

Finished-(view spoiler)[ still have so many questions can’t wait to read book 2. Something is too good to be true with Julian. I have a feeling he knows more than he leads on. Maybe not. Who is Les? The way he called out makes me think we may learn in a follow up. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

This book had so many hilarious one liners I lost track. I may have to reread just to catch more the second round

[Carrie]

Started book 2

[Carrie]

through 10-(view spoiler)[ Steven is a real jerk, but who besides Finlay would want him dead? Did he have bad business deals? I absolutely loved how the book opened with Christopher's funeral. Ok so Steven is an ass, but he doesn't deserve to be killed, but there is no way that Finlay and Vero can allow the kids to be with him alone. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

in 12-(view spoiler)[ Oh I don't see finding a mall hacker to help with their security issues turning out well. These ladies are crazy! I can't believe that Julien took off for the beach. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

through 15-(view spoiler)[ wow the fire spread so fast. Was it the contract Easy Clean? Who all does he have after him (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

through 20-(view spoiler)[ oh Vero, where is the money? Did something happen over Thanksgiving? She keeps acting very nervous every time any money is spent. This is not looking good. Again reading so fast. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

through 30=(view spoiler)[ Oh no, she is now trying to blackmail Feliks...she didn't have much choice but don't think this is going to end well. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

32=(view spoiler)[omg, Nick just arrested Finlay! I can't believe this is happening. This one is reading fast but doesn't have as many laugh out loud moments as number 1. Still fun though (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

finished-(view spoiler)[Wow this all turned out different than I would have expected. Going to have to move to book 3 pretty fast. Who in the world wants Steven dead? It can't be fake, because they were in the car. Can not believe he bought the car for her to hold over her head and has the proof of blackmail. I am glad there is some suspense but I sure hope it doesn't lose its hilarious moments and become to seriously dark. We will see. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

keeping alive

[Carrie]

Starting book #3 jumps the gun

[Carrie]

Through 6 so quickly- (view spoiler)[man dead bodies sure follow these ladies…how in the world are they going to figure out who Easyclean is? Don’t have a good feeling about this deal… (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Through 10-(view spoiler)[ love how they could drag the dummy so well! Easyclean couldn’t be nick could it? He got shot? Joey seems to easy and they have never mentioned Georgia but could it be? (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

I do not like that Steven is back…he is wormy and trying to worm back into Fin’s life.

[Carrie]

after 36(view spoiler)[The psychiatrist and Cam is Joey's nephew....didn't see either of those twists. I just love the connections between the characters.This is such a light and fun read! (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

In 37-(view spoiler)[ Yea Nick and Fin! (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

finished-OMG-(view spoiler)[They have JAV....oh no. Ladies will get save him! And hopefully we will get more Javi and Vero! (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

will start #4 soonish

[Carrie]

Started breaks the bank this morning and sure hoping she doesn’t rob the bank and that’s how she got in previous trouble but we will see

[Carrie]

Very short so after 3-(view spoiler)[of course Vera has a plan! And she started investigating before she even started the job. Ha probably the bank manager himself and the plan to be promoted won’t work (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

After 6-(view spoiler)[feel so sorry for Vero! It seems she had worked so hard towards her degree and was framed and had to leave. Surely Finlay can help her fix this in the future! She not having much luck finding the thief :( I love the “mold” situation that she told her family! (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Through 9-(view spoiler)[she of course figured it out! The dude with the tummy issues and no vac? Revenge? Love how her and Terrance are now working together. Wonder if she will get promoted to security instead of teller? I had hoped there was more javi and Vera back story! (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Wow that was too fast and way too short!-Finished

(view spoiler)[Great that she met Finlay, saw the need and immediately left to help her after working so hard to get the job. I guess this is how she became the live in Nannie. Wonder if she will ever tell her family what happened at school? Can't wait for next one. (hide spoiler)]

[BabyLunLun]

Chapter 1 - 10 (view spoiler)[ another dead body again . Why do they keep bumping into dead bodies (hide spoiler)]
