VBT# He is Mine - Theo Baxter

Review: He is Mine - Theo Baxter - March 2026 Oh, where do I even begin with this one? I picked this up on a Saturday morning with a cup of tea and a couple of milk arrowroot biscuits and absolutely did not move from my bed until I'd turned the last page. You know that feeling when a book just grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go? That's exactly what this did to me. From the very first chapter, I got those delicious, unsettling vibes that took me straight back to The Housemaid  that creeping sense that something in this beautiful, perfect house is deeply, horribly wrong. And if you, like me, have a soft spot for those "I'm the nanny and this is going to end very badly for everyone" psychological thrillers, then pull up a chair, because this one belongs right at the top of that pile. Crystal Tannenbaum arrives in LA with stars in her eyes and dreams tucked under her arm. She's going to make it. She just knows it. And in a way, she does land herself a...

#VBT Review - You Don't Know Me - Theo Baxter

Review: You Don't Know Me - Theo Baxter - June 2025 Y'all, let me tell you about the latest page-turner that had me questioning every knock at my door! When I spotted You Don't Know Me on a Zooloos Book Tours list, I practically dove headfirst into my Kindle. I've been riding the Theo Baxter train for a while now, and this psychological thriller? It did NOT disappoint. Picture this: You're already drowning in grief over your father's death, waiting for the will reading like some twisted family game show, when BAM! The police show up with news that your mother's been killed in a hit-and-run. Talk about life serving you a double helping of nightmare soup. The Marconi siblings—Izzy, Annabelle, and Harry—are suddenly planning two funerals instead of one inheritance meeting. But wait, there's more! (Because apparently the universe has a sick sense of humor.) At dad's funeral, enter stage left: Mary and her wheelchair-bound companion David. Plot twist t...

Review: Kill Count - Theo Baxter

Review: Kill Count - Book #4 Detective Marcy Kendrick Thriller Series - Theo Baxter - June 2024 I was in the mood for a thriller after finding a few books I tried were DNFS. I find when this happens it means that I need something gritty to sink my teeth into and what better than a thriller featuring an assassin? Kill Count by Theo Baxter is the fourth book in the series, but it was written in a way where you can like I did read this as a standalone and still understand the series as this book does feature past characters e.g Marcy's ex who has been threatening her and we can see that he lost his job on the squad and he blames Marcy for it. I have to admit parts of this book were frustrating especially the pairing up with the vice detective Veronica as she has been on the case of the Cartel for the past decade and hasn't gotten close to catching them when she gets close her informants are killed. There weren't things adding up with the case where Veronica was concerned and...
