Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano -> Starting April 6th, 2022

[Aly]

Finlay Donovan is―once again―struggling to finish her next novel and keep her head above water as a single mother of two. On the bright side, she has her live-in nanny and confidant Vero to rely on, and the only dead body she's dealt with lately is that of her daughter's pet goldfish.

On the not-so-bright side, someone out there wants her ex-husband, Steven, out of the picture. Permanently. Whatever else Steven may be, he's a good father, but saving him will send her down a rabbit hole of hit-women disguised as soccer moms, and a little bit more involvement with the Russian mob than she'd like.

Meanwhile, Vero's keeping secrets, and Detective Nick Anthony seems determined to get back into her life. He may be a hot cop, but Finlay's first priority is preventing her family from sleeping with the fishes... and if that means bending a few laws then so be it.

With her next book's deadline looming and an ex-husband to keep alive, Finlay is quickly coming to the end of her rope. She can only hope there isn't a noose at the end of it...

Ch 1-12 (view spoiler)[ I don't know why Finlay is still with the lawyer guy. He clearly just wants a fling and she's more of a relationship person. I think Nick would be a better bet for her.

I don't know if Theresa is behind the hit on Steven, but who else hates him so much? Another woman he cheated with? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 13-24 (view spoiler)[ I lost track of the chapters so best guess on what was going on lol.
There's a lot of moving parts right now, just like the first book. Theresa is involved again, someone is definitely trying to hurt Steven, that mom group is super dangerous, and I think Vero lost a bunch of money gambling. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 25-36 (view spoiler)[ Steven really thinks that Finlay is the one behind all these things? Cutting his break lines, setting a fire to his trailer, hitting him over the head. Come on guy.

Finlay going to prison to see that guy was a terrible idea and she's incredibly lucky that Nick is covering for her. I get kind of irritated with her dumb ideas (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 37-End (view spoiler)[ I did not see it coming that Finlay's mom was 'Fed Up' and didn't realize she was asking for a hit. How crazy lol.

It didn't say whether Joey was the hitman and Finlay didn't get with Nick, so I'm assuming there will be at least one more book? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Well, I think that maybe that's a good thing, right? She seems to care and like the kids. Unlike the ex. Also, not a fan of Steven. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Uh oh. Aimee is in on it now? (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[I feel like that actually wouldn't have worked. They would definitely need a valid ID. (hide spoiler)]

This goes so quickly!

Quite magical.

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[Kind of sad that they put it together faster than the actual police. Now let's go capture Joey. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-Finish: (view spoiler)[HER MOTHER WAS USING THE SITE? Oh my. I'm dying. Also, very intrigued with who is actually this mysterious person! (hide spoiler)]
