Thriller Thursday

New week and a new thriller that I’m listening to.

I’m working on my waffle blanket crochet project. I’m looking forward to seeing this blanket all done because I’m a little obsessed with the waffle stitch.

I’ve got a tasty pistachio mushroom coffee which is my go to.
Today the teenager and I are going to do my roots and touch up my pink hair.

My thriller this week is our bookclub book for next week. After our last thriller a few of the girls are nervous. However, I have heard so many amazing things. I’m excited to dive into it.

Synopsis
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....
The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.

Synopsis

HER ENEMIES TOOK EVERYTHING.

IT’S TIME TO STEAL IT ALL BACK.

Rinley Renard isn’t just a master thief—she’s also the sole survivor of a political coup that nearly destroyed Feronia. When the opportunity to steal a priceless sword brings Rinley back to the scene of the massacre, it’s a chance to exact her revenge—even if it means masquerading as a guard in the enemy stronghold, where she’s still a hunted fugitive.

Prince Zoren Dreiko may be the empire’s most powerful Dread Knight, but he has his own reasons for quelling the latest Feronian rebellion. Capturing the masked outlaw stirring unrest might finally free Zoren of his father’s traitorous legacy, and keep the vicious empress he serves from taking his head.

Trapped in a brutal cat-and-mouse game, Rinley and Zoren’s forbidden attraction blurs the line between duty and desire. When victory for one will doom the other, both are faced with an impossible choice between love and loyalty.

Experience Sherwood Forest like never before in this sizzling Robin Hood– inspired romantasy from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep.

WIP Wednesday & Mid Week Check-In

WIP Wednesday & Mid Week Check-In

It’s half way through the week already and this week is flying by so fast.

Last night we saw the new Resident Evil and it reminds me of the video game Back for Blood. It was good but not my favorite.

I finished Law Maker by Susie Tate and loved it. Highly recommend if you enjoy a billionaire romance.

I’m working on my blanket this week. I’m getting close to needing another ball of yarn and plan to grab one today. I love the color changing pattern.

I picked up a new bag as I love smaller crossbody perfect to carry my kindle, wallet and lipgloss.

I’ve got a tasty pistachio coffee to start the morning and a new journal.

We have colorguard finals this weekend and I’m hoping for nice weather as I plan to be in the stands all day.

On Wednesday We Stack Pink

 I thought this was a fun way to stack pink today. I decided to pick some of the pink books sitting on my kindle. I’ve got an amazing list of ebooks on my kindle so narrowing it down to just 6 was a bit of a challenge but I think it’s a pretty stack of eBooks on my kindle.

Opening Line

“How do I look?” I spun around, my skirt flying out around me in a shimmering mass of tulle and sequins. “Like a sexy if slightly demented Tinkerbell,” Josh said, and I beamed at him.

Teaser

Poppy—”

“Look, our current truce is about working together for Connor’s sake. It wasn’t an invitation for you to start interfering in my personal life.”

My jaw clenched in frustration. This wasn’t about her personal life; it was about her safety.

“You’re so irresponsible,” I said without thinking, and she flinched as if I’d slapped her. I knew I was fucking up, but my worry for her was overriding my ability to not be a total dickhead. “You waltz through the world totally oblivious to all the danger around you. It’s all rainbows and glitter and sparkles to you. Your family have sheltered and indulged you your whole life, but in the real world, there is real danger, and you cannae⁠—”

Synopsis 

Everyone loves Poppy. She’s pure sunshine vibes with an infectious snort-laugh, and nobody is immune to her outrageous flirting. Nobody, that is, apart from her much older brother’s best friend, former Scottish rugby star and grumpy fun sponge, Rory Wallace.

The last thing Rory wants is a woman who represents everything he avoids: cameras, chaos and constant attention. The irony is that although Lady Poppy Sterling flirts with the world, the man she’s had a crush on since childhood can’t stand her. At least that’s what he tells himself…

It’s only when Rory's betrayal leaves Poppy vulnerable to both paparazzi and predators that he realises too late what he stands to lose. Her celebrity lifestyle might be his dealbreaker, but his failure to protect her? That's hers.

DEAL BREAKER is an enemies-to-lovers, brother’s best friend, age-gap, grumpy/sunshine contemporary romance featuring family secrets, red carpet drama, and a grumpy hero who'll move heaven and earth to protect his sunshine girl—once he realises she's been his all along.

Content warning: discussions of drink spiking and predatory behaviour.

Synopsis 

Dinosaurs didn't go extinct. They fled. They evolved.

On Theia, Earth's hidden sister planet, they became Saurs—a civilization built on science, hierarchy, and genetic perfection. Humans are nothing more than an ancient threat, one the Saurs believe they left behind forever.

Until Filo.

For as long as he can remember, Filo—a human teenager—has lived in the shadows of Theia with Mai, the Saur who rescued him from the wreckage of a space shuttle as an infant. Whenthe life she built to protect his impossible existence is torn apart, he's forced to run.

Aboard an autonomous spacecraft with unexpected allies, he follows a trail of encrypted clues toward the truth of his origins. What waits there is a fierce girl, an egomaniac genius, and the twisted link between them.

With two worlds closing in, Filo must decide how far he'll go for the only one in the universe who ever chose him.

Saur fuses the found-family heart and humor of Guardians of the Galaxy with the prehistoric intrigue of Jurassic Park, delivering a young adult sci-fi adventure layered with mystery, survival, and high-stakes discovery.

Includes 29 original illustrations by the author.

Review 

I received Saur in return for an honest review from the author. 

Filo is the only human living among the Saurs he's even been raised by Mai who is a Saur and rescued him from ship wreckage. When his existence is found out he's forced to run fleeing with his Saur friends they end up on Earth. They have an adventure that will bring them new friends and uncover secrets which could change everything. 

I love Filo he's such a great character you can't help cheering him on through the whole whirlwind adventure. I found Hex and Datou they are the perfect edition to the rag tag team they just accepted Filo even though they are Saur. Jade rounded out our little team she's a character after my own heart taking Filo to In and Out for burgers. It's our go to place especially for out of town family and friends who visit. When they went to In and Out I almost caved and went for burgers for dinner too. 

 I ended up devouring Saur in just one afternoon it's a action packed adventure that kept me on my toes till the very last page. The author has created such a unique story with dinosaur giving them a fresh new story that almost has you wondering if why not. I loved the characters they all just fit together so well and stole a little place in my heart. This is the authors debut novel and I think she blew it out of the water by such a beautiful story that I'm obsessed with. The author has also added stunning artwork throughout the story. Highly recommend if you are looking for a ya fantasy Suar is a must read. I can't wait till the next one comes out it's living rent free in my head.
