A nanny is dead and everyone in the household is a suspect. When Stella is appointed Guardian ad Litem to the daughter, Rose, we find out just how conniving and sinister a person can be.
I love how this was written and that it isn’t just a story uncovering a murder, but how Stella’s life and backstory intertwines. It shapes her as a character beautifully, and I could see this becoming a series. This story has a lot of pieces and parts, twists and danger, secrets and lies, trauma and hope. It’s about trauma, and trust, and healing. It held me captive from the start trying to put the pieces together. It’s thought provoking and emotional. Fantastic!

Ivan and Bella are going to knock your socks off. The plot of this story was so fantastic.
“The ending of my story wouldn’t be like that, if I went out it wouldn’t be because I betrayed the Families or my own. If I died-when I died. It would be because I did what she couldn’t. Save them all.”
The push, the pull, the love, the hate, the dissention, the tension between bosses and family, oh my goodness, you could feel it all!!! Danger, suspense, excitement, fear, sadness, betrayal, hurt, love, what didn’t this story have? The twists are fabulous. I mean, one we expected by all the clue dropping, but the other, what a brilliant shock.
Way to keep this Mafia family still going! I don’t think this series is ever going to end and I love it so much!
My throat was in my stomach for much of this story, then hope started in, then anticipation, then my heart burst. Get ready for a fantastic ride. Once you start this story, you won’t stop until you hit the end.

Our parents always told us the crown is heavy. What they never explained was that the sword and shield are too. Even the armor we have to put around our bodies feels like it might choke us alive.”
Another fantastic roller coaster of emotions within this Mafia family. King’s story is better than I could have anticipated. King and Del take us on a journey of heartache, worry, intensity, vulnerability, hope, and love. It’s fierce, raw, and suspenseful. A story of loyalty, family, honor, and love.

We’re in Del Sol, New Mexico, a small town with wacky, fun people. Sunshine Vicram is the new sheriff in town. And what a first day she has!
There are a lot of moving pieces to this story! While working to find a missing child and a fugitive on the loose, this story also held a lot of mystery behind Sunshine’s past and her own abduction. Sunshine has some amnesia regarding this and is starting to remember pieces. She has secretly been investigating this herself. The ending sure left me anxious to get to the next book.
Sunshine Levi’s relationship is super intriguing. Sunshine has been in love with Levi since they were kids. Levi is very complex, cares a lot and protects his family, but is very broody and has a bad boy vibe to him. There were a lot of hints surrounding these two and I can’t wait to see what is to come here and what secrets are uncovered.
This story has great relationships. I loved Sunshine and her daughter Auri’s relationship. There was a lot of emotion surrounding their past and I love their bond. The bond between Sunshine and her best friend Quincy is fun. I also enjoy that he’s her deputy and the dynamic they have going on. The relationship between Auri and Levi and Jimmy was just so heartwarming. I love how that unfolded and seeing what a bond they had.
There are still secrets to be uncovered that were hinted at and I can’t wait to see where this is all going to lead. This story is filled with intrigue, suspense, and great wit and humor. ...more

Goodness! This did not feel like a novella at all! What a fantastic short story filled with danger, secrets, and love.
Big, bad, broody Vic. He’s scary as hell. He’s sworn an oath of celibacy, an oath to protect the families. But how long can he adhere to that promise when Renee, the nanny, is slowly making her way into his heart?
“I’d sold everything. Including my soul to the families. And now, now, I hated that a part of me… wanted it back. Because of a girl who let me hold her when she was scared. And who let me kiss her tears away.”
The families are keeping a secret about Renee. Why are they keeping her safe? Where are her parents? This story may be short, but is sure felt like a full blown novel. So much happens. I loved getting to know Vic! There’s so much more to him. And the uncovering of truths was perfection. A perfect blend of mystery, danger, and hope. Another amazing addition to this series.
“Was one woman truly worth death, Vic?” “When that one woman is the only thing that makes you feel alive in this shit universe. Yes. It was worth it. It is worth it.”...more

Rachel Krall is at it again. As a true crime podcaster, after being lured in by the FBI, she investigates the murders Terrance Bailey is being accused of, as well as the disappearance of a well-known influencer, and things begin to take a dangerous turn.
Megan Goldin sure knows how to weave an intricate plot. Once again, I found myself captivated in this complex story of murder, suspense, secrets, and danger. I did; however, really miss listening to Rachel’s podcast. That was what really drew me in to the first book. I really enjoyed Rachel and FBI agent Joe Martinez’s spark and I hope this continues on in future stories and we see something develop there.
Great suspenseful story with good twists and a captivating plot. I can’t wait to see what Rachel ends up investigating next! ...more

ThFantastic!! Oh, these wonderful characters! I am so glad Samantha Young is doing this series extension. I just can’t get enough of these characters.
This story holds you captive from the start. The prologue gave me chills. What Sloane and Callie have been through, my heart went out to them. Sloane is an inspiration; such perseverance and hard work for her and her daughter. I loved getting to know Walker. He holds a lot of guilt and breaking that hard exterior and seeing what a wonderful, caring man he is, is not an easy feat. His interactions with Callie were so beautiful. These three melted my heart.
Walker and Sloane have perfect chemistry. You can feel it in every interaction, and I loved watching these two heal each other. This story had good action and lots of emotions. It’s a beautiful story of healing, letting go of the past, and finding love. It’s heartfelt and beautiful. ...more

Nathalie, my heart. She held so much pain. But watching her grow and begin to find herself was just beautiful. When she smiled, I felt it, when she found joy, I felt it. She is guarded and searching to find peace and I love how the simplest things bring her joy.
Asa is a hot mess in this book! Man oh man. I sure hope in the next book we find out what possessed him to even ask Juliet to marry him and how their relationship came about. It’s as if they have no relationship at all. I just love Asa’s mannerism and his uniqueness. It was heartbreaking to see his struggles growing up and beautiful to see the bonds he made with Etienne and his family, as well as Miles, Rainey, and Conrad.
“My father once said, No one can love you the way you are.”
Juliet, whew! That girl is sinister! And what exactly is she up to? I don’t believe that ending at all with all the glimpses of crazy we were given throughout this story, and I am anxious to see what exactly her end game is. Is she after Asa? Using him to get to someone/something else?
“You know better than to want his kindness. You’re here for one thing. Remember that.”
I loved the glimpses into the past through the years so we could see everything Nat and Asa have been through and shared. You could watch their bond grow and see and feel just how close they have always been. They have such a deep understanding of each other and the way they have always been there for each other through the years is heartwarming.
“This agony is temporary. And you don’t know when you’re meant to fly, or to where, but you will. All right, birdie?”
Lots of twists in this story and I can’t wait to see how this is all going to work out.

She had me very intrigued when we met her in the Sin Series. I loved her strong personality, business sense, and her friendship with Van.
I enjoyed learning more about Lena, her past, and what brought her to where she is in her life. She’s fought hard to get to where she is and; meeting CJ was just what she was missing and needed.
Lena and CJ are so comfortable with each other. But, someone is stalking Lena and her walls are up even tighter than normal. This story is filled with deception, secrets, and lies. Who can be trusted?
