Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated The Fourth Monkey (4MK Thriller, #1) in Books
May 3, 2020
Two days to save her . . .
For over five years, the Four Monkey Killer has terrorized the residents of Chicago. When his body is found, the police quickly realize he was on his way to deliver one final message, one which proves he has taken another victim who may still be alive.
One day . . .
As the lead investigator on the 4MK task force, Detective Sam Porter knows that even in death, the killer is far from finished. When he discovers a personal diary in the jacket pocket of the body, Porter finds himself caught up in the mind of a psychopath, unraveling a twisted history in hopes of finding one last girl, all while struggling with personal demons of his own.
Zero.
With only a handful of clues, the elusive killer’s identity remains a mystery. Time is running out as the Four Monkey Killer taunts from beyond the grave in this masterfully written fast-paced thriller.
I actually found this quite chilling! It was very well written especially the diary chapters! I honestly didn’t see that twist coming! I kept swapping my rating from a 4 to a 3 and vide versa as I’m not sure where I wanted it to go! I really enjoy J D Barker and look forward to the next book!

Diary of a Reformed Mean Girl (Reformed 1)
By CY Jones
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dear Diary
Petty, cruel, mean, and a well known curse word that starts with a B.
Those are words used to describe me.
Now I’m trying to do better.
I want to be a better person, but the forces of evil aren’t making this venture to reform myself easy.
What do you do when your past catches up to you, in the form of hot twins that you used to torment?
Then let’s add in an equally hot best friend, and a jealous Alpha’s daughter to the mix.
How does one reform herself when said past is looking for its own payback?
Do I turn a blind eye, or do I fight back?
The path to reform myself won’t be easy, but I have never been one to back down from a challenge.
I really enjoyed this and read it within an hour and a half. It was easy to read and kept you engrossed. Aspen is definitely an alpha and I’m looking forward to seeing this series play out. CY Jones is one of those writers that has you wanting more. I thought 3⭐️ was too low so went for the 4.

Chelsea (449 KP) rated Neverwhere in Books
Sep 7, 2017
Gaiman wrote this book because he felt adults deserved a story similar to how Alice in Wonderland was written for kids. I love this explanation!
"Dear Diary, he began. On Friday I had a job, a fiancée, a home, and a life that made sense. (Well, as much as any life makes sense.) Then I found an injured girl bleeding on the pavement, and I tried to be a Good Samaritan. Now I’ve got no fiancée, no home, no job, and I’m walking around a couple of hundred feet under the streets of London with the projected life expectancy of a suicidal mayfly."

Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated The Perks of Being a Wallflower in Books
May 16, 2018
This book is one you can read time and time, again. Simultaneously beautiful and tragic. It details growing up, suicide, puberty, depression, anxiety, relationships, sex, drugs, and secrets. Told by way of secret letters in a diary style, each one showing more and more clearly the daily life of Charlie, a strange outcast who wants to belong but also just wants to observe. I highly recommend putting yourself through this wonderfully written adventure. Get ready to be heart broken by almost every page and uplifted by the moments of elation as though they were your own.

For the majority of this book I was clueless as to what had happened and who had done what to who! But that is a good thing! It was only in the last few chapters that everything did finally come together and it was done very well. Loved the back and forth between the 90’s, 2016, 2018, diary entries and emails. Even with all the back and forth, it was easy to follow and did a great job of keeping the story moving while ramping up the tension.
An excellent debut thriller that will have you checking those shadows!

MoMo’s Book Diary recommends this as a page turning 4 star read.
The author had me hooked. The characters and setting was just perfect. I could feel the atmosphere of Kentucky in the way the author describes each scene.
The plot had me turning page after page. It is the first Kim Vogel Sawyer I have read and I will be picking up another one.
It is not my normal type of novel but it was a very nice, needed, change of pace.
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this historical romance.

Milleen (47 KP) rated Darkest Hour: How Churchill Brought England Back from the Brink in Books
Nov 14, 2018 (Updated Nov 14, 2018)
The prize-winning screen writer of the film 'The Theory of everything' has penned a wonderful insight into the life of Winston Spencer Churchill. This narrative examines his rise during one of the most crucial periods of World War II. It relives the conversations between Britain's most powerful men, revealed through their private diary excerpts. Through these intensely researched accounts of the time, McCarten skilfully conveys a very rounded and human account of Churchill. He cleverly shows how a man full of self-doubt transformed himself into the iconic figure that led the country to victory.
