An intricate, twisty, page-turner of a thriller
Tallulah and her boyfriend, Zach, go out on a date, leaving their young son Noah behind with her mom, Kim. Kim waits up for Tallulah, but she never comes back. As Kim tries to find out what happened to her daughter, whom she knows would never leave Noah behind, she learns she was last seen at a party at house in the woods, called the Dark Place.
Two years later, Sophie moves to a boarding school where her boyfriend, Shaun, has just started to work as head teacher. As she explores the woods, she sees a note reading "Dig Here." A writer, Sophie starts investigating. Her sleuthing will take her into the world of the Dark Place and Tallulah's disappearance.
"With a racing heart and a sickening swirl in the pit of her stomach, she calls the police and she files a missing persons case."
This is an excellent thriller, hands-down. I read the second half in one sitting, because I was completely and totally sucked in. This is a mystery, but it has a ton of character to it--because the characters, ha, are real and vibrant people, with their own quirks, issues, and struggles that add an an extra element to the story. Tallulah, especially, is a nuanced character, a young mother struggling to find her place in the world, with her boyfriend, her friendships, and as a parent and student.
NIGHT is quite twisty--this read will keep you guessing. It's well-written, extremely dark (be prepared), and just well-done overall. It balances thrilling and characterization perfectly. I often hate when a "regular" character decides to be a sleuth, but Sophie, as a crime writer, was fine in the role. I loved Tallulah (extremely great, because she's missing, so Jewell gets us attached to a character who is gone and whose POV is told through the past). The book is complex, giving us insight into motherhood, relationships, friendship and more.
Overall, this was a winner for me. 4.5 stars.

SHADOW HEALER brings to a thrilling conclusion this amazing series that I have loved from the very first word. James and Riley have both made mistakes but will their love be strong enough to conquer their fears?
James - oh, boy. This man about broke my heart. He has made a multitude of mistakes, some of them absolutely horrible, but he has paid in so many ways. From a broken boy seeking love and acceptance to the man he is today, some things just don't change, no matter what. For James, it was his love for those around him, and how he will do anything to protect them.
Riley is a loner and not through choice. She has searched for friendship and acceptance, finding both in James' arms before he left her. She is determined to see things through and then intends to leave and start afresh someplace new. It takes someone looking in from the outside to point out that Riley has been holding back, putting up walls in an attempt to not get hurt. I could understand her reasoning and actions, even if I didn't like them.
Together, these two need to work together against the bigger threat - Gordon. What a character he is! A slimy piece of work and that's at his best. He is supported by the Council who are all as bad as he is. Weak and hungry for power is not a good combination.
This is a real page-turner with lots of emotions flooding the pages. My eyes leaked on more than one occasion - sometimes because I was happy, and other times not. I thought the ending was simply superb, giving me all I needed. I really hope this isn't the last we see of this world. Jennie Lynn Roberts is a one-click author for me and I HIGHLY recommend her latest masterpiece.

Right then, I'm doing to try my hardest not to give out any spoilers, but there are some things that have happened in previous books, so I really hope you've read them!!!
First of all, this book brings to a close The Reverians series, and it does it in style! This is a thrilling and action-packed finale, full of emotion.
This series is the first thing that I have read by Sarah Noffke, but it certainly won't be the last. She has captivated me with her writing style. She writes believable characters complete with flaws that you can identify with and you will solidly get behind them, encouraging them in whatever it is they are doing. Of course, she will also rip out your heart, tear it to shreds and then stomp on it, just for fun! And then, once she's done that, she will give you hope until you feel your heart start beating again.
After the ending of book 2, I was devastated. It's as simple as that. I spent the last how long of the book f'ugly crying! Trust me, that was a situation I did not want to repeat! However, she wasn't going to let me off easily. There is more than one situation in Warriors that had me crying. There is a storyline that runs through the books with Rogue, Em, and Zack, that finally runs its course. The best bit is I can't imagine it any other way. It was at once completely obvious and at the same time, left you hanging with would it/wouldn't it be happening.
I started this series simply because the synopsis intrigued me. By taking a chance on an unknown author (to me), I've found a superb series that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this book and this series. Go on, take a chance on a new author yourself!!!
