⭐️⭐️⭐️

The serial killer thriller that took Europe by storm.

At 11 years old, Gabriel Naumann is witness to a horrific crime. Twenty-nine years later his girlfriend is taken. Then the messages begin. 'If you want to find her, then you'll have to find me.'

Somebody knows the truth. Somebody knows what he did. And now his girlfriend will pay for it - unless he can find her in time. When you've spent decades running from your past, what do you do when it finally catches up with you?

This was an enticing cover!

I was told how gory and scary this book was and I was kinda expecting more! It was a good read but just that a good read. When I’m told to expect gore and horror then I want it to hit me in the face and this didn’t. The story was ok and well told but yea I wanted so much more!

Murder Any Witch Way ( Brimstone Bay book 1)
By N.M. Howell
⭐⭐⭐

Being a witch is hard. It's even harder when you live in a town that doesn't believe in witches.When young witch River Halloway moves to sleepy Brimstone Bay for her very first journalist job, she doesn't expect to cover anything ground-breaking. That is, until a paranormal festival comes to town and a body is found on opening night. Now, with all evidence pointing towards a witch, River must find the true killer before she becomes the prime suspect.Or worse, the next murder victim.So much for it being a sleepy little town.

It was ok and I liked it but it could have been so much better. I think it lacked a little personality the characters were a little flat. It was a quick ok to good read with masses of potential.

Has Someone Designed the Perfect Murder?
Edison Bixby is a brilliant detective who sees patterns others don’t is seemingly innocent “accidents.” But a brain injury has left him with a poor filter. Enter Wally Nash, a struggling actor who is his new assistant. Their first case involves a woman who fell down an in-construction staircase in a mall. Bixby quickly determines that it was murder. But can he find the killer?

The set up with these characters provides plenty of opportunities for comedy, and I enjoy much of it, although at times, it didn’t quite land. Still, I enjoyed getting to know them. While Bixby says some stuff he shouldn’t, I actually expected him to be pushing a few more boundaries. And I am ready to move into his house! The mystery kept me entertained, although I did feel the ending was a little weaker than it could be. Overall, I enjoyed this new series and look forward to reading more about these characters.
