5/5 stars
Adrian and Zooey are twins who are a constant in each others lives. Literally. Adrian and Zooey inhabit a single body, one controlling the left side of the brain and the other controlling the right side of the brain. Now, days after being released from a mental institution, A.Z. is being asked to consult on a case. Though it seems simple at first, A.Z. is thrust headfirst into a mystery that even they might not be able to solve before it's too late.
This book was amazing! The characters were amazingly written. The dialogue was hilarious. The mystery was super interesting. Honestly, I ate this book up. It was seriously amazing and I would 100% recommend it. I really hope that this is the first in a series because I really want to see more of A.Z.
5/5
What would you do if your sister was a serial killer? Korede has to grapple with this fact as her sister invades her life and steals the things that Korede has worked so hard for.
I absolutely loved this book. It was so quick to read and was so interesting. The characters were super interesting and how they interacted was also super interesting. I loved the twist ending, I honestly didn't see it coming. I also really liked the setting because I have never read anything that was set in Nigeria. I thought that it was super interesting an compelling.
No matter who you are, I would give this one a read.
5/5 Stars
A pilot is forced to choose between saving his family or saving the lives of the people on the plane that he is flying. What happens when he doesn't choose either one?
This book was intense. I don't usually read thrillers but I decided to pick this one up. It was amazing. The characters were really interesting. The conflict was amazing. The action was superb. Everything felt like it made sense within the confines of the story. It is one of the best thrillers that I read. If you enjoy thrillers or are looking for a thriller to get into the genre, definitely give this one a read.
4/5 Stars
Chloe's father killed young girls and took keepsakes. He was put in prison almost exactly twenty years ago but young girls are showing up dead again. Right where Chloe lives.
This book was really interesting. The narrator is unreliable which is an interesting point of view to read from. However, I really didn't like any of the characters. The main character seemed very flat, it really didn't seem like she learned anything about how she reacts to things. None of the other characters seemed to have any more depth than their main character traits. The story was really interesting but I thought that there was a bit to many twists. Overall, it was a really good thriller but I feel like as a book it maybe wasn't the best.

I read this as an audiobook.
A couple close to divorce decides to go on a weekend away to fix their marriage. But what happens when the place they stay is deserted except for one lonely woman?
I thought that this book was very slow to start. It does end up picking up at around the two-thirds mark. The characters are really interesting and the twist did surprise me. The setting was super interesting and well-written. Overall it wasn't my favorite but pretty good.
3/5 stars
April and Eddie are going on their honeymoon. At least they were before Eddie makes a wrong turn and they end up on Atticus Line in the middle of the night. Suddenly, they see a young woman on the side of the road. Picking her up may be the biggest mistake of their lives. Now April and Eddie are murder suspects. But something brought them to Coldlake Falls and that something doesn't want them to leave.
Overall, I thought that this thriller was really interesting. I enjoyed that the characters kept secrets from each other but it wasn't malicious. It was more because they were just people. I did think that the mystery was overall really interesting. However, I thought that the execution of the mystery didn't turn out the way that the author wanted it too. There were very little rules that were established and things just seemed to go right for April and Eddie. I didn't think that the killer's motivation was fully explained whatsoever. I'd say that the first 100 pages were really good then it just went down from there.
I am looking forward to reading more by this author though because the writing style was super good!
1.5/5 stars
Most people have never met their birthday twin. Especially not one born on the same day, in the same year, and in the same hospital. But this coincidence that brings Alix and Josie together. Except that maybe Josie isn't all that she seems and Alix has invited her into her life.
I actually really hated this book. The characters were one-dimensional, the plot was weird, and the ending was terrible. I didn't care about any of the characters to be honest, except for the children and they really weren't a huge part of the story. The plot was mostly told instead of shown as this is a mixed media book where huge swaths of characterization are given to the reader through transcripts of podcasts. It was an interesting idea but there is almost no characterization outside of these large paragraphs of dialogue. I probably would have given this book a 2.5 or three stars instead of 1.5 if the last chapter hadn't been included. There is a big twist at the end that makes all of the characters unreliable narrators. Typically I really enjoy unreliable narrators but each narrator cannot be unreliable. The author also introduces doubt as to the truth but never clears it up. It was so confusing about what actually happened and what was a lie. It just seemed like this author was trying to combine several great ideas that just didn't go together.
I would give this one a pass.
