 🌅 The Woman In The Villa,  Written By Helen Cooper;  My Review‼️🌅 Written by Helen Cooper,  Blurb; A holiday to Italy with my husband and his family should be a dream trip. Spending two weeks in the scorching sun, relaxing by the pool, sipping on local wine... Two weeks of trying to hide what I've done. When I meet Carmen, the woman staying in the villa next to us, I'm immediately drawn to her, thankful to have some normalcy against the intensity of my in laws. I didn't expect to tell her my biggest secret, one that could tear my whole life apart. But when I return the next day to beg Carmen not to tell a soul, the house is completely empty, and she is nowhere to be found. Who was the woman in the villa? Why was she there? Who have I told my darkest secret to? My Review; Following my last read, - which was good, but had a lot to keep up with, a lot of people involved, & a lot of goings' on, - this was a refreshing read that had me hooked from the very beginnin...

  🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️📢 RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, Written By Jackie Kabler; My Review‼️📢🏃‍♀️🏃‍ Written by Jackie Kabler,  Blurb; Every step might be your last… On a bright spring Saturday, hundreds gather in a park as usual for their weekly community 5k run. An hour later, one of the runners is dead. The next week a runner training for a 10k event dies. And then another, a half marathon runner… The police are baffled. The pattern is the same, the deaths can’t be coincidental. Is there a murderer picking off victims one race at a time? Ten million adults are regular or occasional runners. Ten million potential victims. With the next event just announced, as you reach the start line you might just have to run for your life… My Review; Wow! - What a head-spinner!!!! - I chose to read this book as I have previously read all of Jackie Kablers' books to date (please check out my previous reviews!), & they have ALL been SUCH a great, very compelling read, from start to finish, so I was natura...

  😴 WHILE YOU SLEEP, Written by S. J. King;  My Review‼️😴 Blurb; Have you ever wanted to be a better version of yourself? Eve Dawson would do anything to be a better mother. So when a pill promises to replace sleep with hours of extra productivity every day, she takes it. Within days, Eve is renovating the house at dawn, doing yoga before breakfast, and cooking from scratch. She is finally becoming the mother her daughter deserves. Within weeks, she is losing her mind. Eve doesn’t remember writing the notes left in Jada’s room overnight. Things go missing, or seem to have moved in the house. She just can’t explain it. And when Jada collapses at school, Eve realises with cold dread: something is very wrong. Is someone else in Eve’s home at night? She and her daughter might be in real danger, and Eve can no longer trust the one person she needs most: herself. My Review; When I first started reding this book, it reminded me of the movie 'The Substance'. It is, kind of, a bit li...

  🏠 The Vanishers, Written By R. G. Belsky; My Review‼️🏠 Blurb; Megan Foley knows she saw the little boy. So why does everyone at the perfect seaside house insist he never existed? The house was perfect. That was its first lie. When Megan and her husband Patrick accept an invitation to spend the summer at a luxurious house share in Stone Beach, Connecticut, everything seems too good to be true. The rent is absurdly low. The host, Mrs. Monahan, is attentive to the point of unease. The other guests are pleasant — until they aren't. One day, Megan sees a boy, Tommy, playing… and the next, Tommy is simply gone. Not moved. Not spoken of. Erased, as though he never existed. All the other guests at the house look at Megan blankly when she asks. One by one, the guests succumb to long hours in front of the television in a glassy trance. Patrick grows cold and distant. Something stirs in the attic. Megan alone seems immune — but for how long? As she begins to doubt herselfand the house ti...

  ❌💔 NOT MY SISTER; Written By Rosie Walker;  My Review‼️💔❌ Written by Rosie Walker,  Blurb; A girl stands on the doorstep, her hands tremble and her eyes glisten with tears. My sister has finally come home after six long years. I gasp in disbelief when I meet my younger sister’s gaze. I can’t believe I’m looking at Lydia’s sweet face again. We’d been so close as children. Then one day she didn’t come home from school, and she disappeared without a trace. Having Lydia back at home is the best thing that’s happened in years. Only I can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right. She doesn’t remember any of the stories I tell about our childhood, she’s even forgotten her long bouts of illness. When I ask about the day she vanished, she says she doesn’t recall what happened. I want to be close to my sister again more than anything. But when I find a strange message hidden in her room, I begin to suspect the girl who came home isn’t my sister at all. Who is she? And wha...
