Review: The Crash - Freida McFadden

Review: The Crash - Freida McFadden - January 2025 Freida McFadden is well known for her fast-paced, twist-filled psychological thrillers, often packed with shocking revelations and morally gray characters. While this book delivers some of those elements, I found it to be a more subdued thriller compared to her usual work. The setup is gripping, but the execution left me wanting more. The story follows Tegan, a heavily pregnant woman fleeing from a past she’d rather leave behind. With nowhere else to go, she sets out to find refuge with her brother, hoping for a fresh start. But fate intervenes when she is caught in a blizzard and stranded in the middle of nowhere. When a seemingly kind couple rescues her, offering her warmth and shelter, she believes she’s been granted a stroke of luck. However, that illusion quickly shatters as she realizes something is very wrong. Her "safe haven" becomes a chilling trap, and her battle for survival—both for herself and her unborn child—be...

Review: New Year's Day - Book #5.5 Lancaster Prep Series - Monica Murphy -December 2023 Continuing in my effort to not only this series which I am enjoying but also the books on my physical bookshelf, I picked up Book #5.5 in the Lancaster Prep series. This quick-read novella just hits the spot and gives you all the happy feels as it is New Year's Eve and Summer and Whit Lancaster are hosting their annual New Year's Eve party with their family and friends. However, a freak snowstorm has hit and it's caused their guests not to turn up. This has then, in turn, turned this New Year's Eve into a Lancaster family celebration with all the parents and their children. I enjoyed this book as all our couples from the previous five books are married and have children of their own, we also catch a side glimpse of Arch and a pregnant Daisy as they end up having to get a hotel room due to the snowstorm. During the ball drop on the television, we also see a snippet of Scarlett L...
