📚 What if you were given a chance to take revenge?

📚 What if you were given a chance to take revenge? But it comes with a catch.🌙 Recension: The Undertow of Evelyn Graymore (Hearts of the Drowned #1) by Matteo Franco📚 Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Siren📅 Release Date: October 20, 2026📱 Read as: Kindle📗 available in various formats - included in Kindle+💸 I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 368⭐️ 4/5Review:Evelyn tries to take her of her sick father by running their small business. Outside of that, she doesn't have much to look out for on a daily basis. Preston advances escalate when she find herself dead, being given a chance for revenge. But nothing comes for free and the gift comes with a curse and the need to kill. And falling in love is no longer an option.I instantly liked Evelyn. She is a strong person, trying to make the best of a bad situation and her learning that her father died after coming back to life was heartbreaking. Everything she had to live for was taking away from her and the person offering her to take revenge doesn't seem to have her best intentions at heart. Her struggles to find her place in this new environment and accepting that she cannot control what was happening was a pain for realisation.And then there is Ethan, a person with the best intentions at heart and actually a descent human being. When him and Evelyn meet, these two lost souls connected instantly. And when it became clear that it would put both of them in a dangerous situation, I was eager to learn how they would get out of it.That felt like a refreshing and a lightly different approach and I enjoyed it a lot. It focussed on the two main characters and their strong bond, while everything else was mainly mentioned on a surface level. I was entertained and want to know how the story continues.arcread - bookstagram - revenge

📚 What if your uncle was a serial killer and you a

📚 What if your uncle was a serial killer and you are guilty by association when someone dies? At least in the eyes of some people in town.🌙 Recension: Monster in the Mirror by Janasha Prabhu📚 Genre: Mystery, Thriller📅 Release Date: October 20, 2026📖 Publisher: Sourcebooks Landmark📱 Read as: Kindle📗 available in various formats💸 I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 351⭐️ 3.5/5Review:The beginning of the book grabbed my attention immediately. Jiah and her sister live in a small town, one that was impacted by a serial killer many years ago who turned out to be their uncle. Guilt by association and their connection to the events of the past hang over them like a dark cloud. Jiah's only reason for staying is to take care of her sister's family.Jiah is an outcast, interacting with very few people and constantly being the centre of gossip, which cannot be easy. When her girlfriend dies two years earlier, Jiah is immediately blamed, and the woman's brother has harassed and bullied her ever since. When he goes missing, it sets off a chain of events that connects the past to the present.This story had a lot of potential, and the first half was the part I enjoyed the most. It set the stage for a mystery waiting to be solved, and Jiah was a character I really felt for. Her frustration and loneliness came across very well. The switching timelines and the inclusion of newspaper clippings about the past murders were elements I actually enjoyed, as they added small clues about what had happened back then.Bit by bit, however, the story became a little too weird for me, and some of the plot points felt over the top. Was it still an easy and enjoyable read? Yes. However, it felt as though it lost its direction towards the end.

📚Looking for a very entertaining Mystery Thriller

📚Looking for a very entertaining Mystery Thriller that will keep you guessing constantly? 🌙 Recension: Where the Road Ends (Jonathan Stride #12) by Brian Freeman📚 Genre: Thriller, Crime📅 Release Date: October 6, 2026📖 Publisher: ‎ Blackstone Publishing👤 Narrator: January LaVoy📗 available in various formats📱 Read as: Audiobook💸 I received a free copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages / Listening Length: 11h 44min⭐️ 4.5/5Review:The story starts quietly, with a wife waiting for her husband to come home, only for him to arrive at a murder scene. When Maggie responds to the call, both are dead, and another person is still there. A split-second decision sets the stage for what's to come.As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the married couple had plenty of secrets. But which one got them killed?A second storyline follows a boy who knows details that may be connected to a girl who vanished years ago. How are the two linked?When I first read the synopsis, I didn't realise there were already so many books in the series. Starting a series this late means missing character relationships and ongoing storylines, and I did feel a little lost at times. That said, the author did a great job of providing enough background for new readers to follow along without making long-time fans feel like everything was being repeated.The story felt nuanced and drew me in early. The characters were well written, and the investigation was thoughtfully developed. Whenever things seemed too straightforward, the characters kept digging rather than accepting the obvious answer.Nothing felt out of place, and the narration was excellent throughout.I think I've found a new series that I want to start from the beginning. What a lovely problem to have. :)

📚 Did I mention that I am enjoying my journey into

📚 Did I mention that I am enjoying my journey into holiday romances this year?🌙 Recension: Christmas At The Hunt Hotel by Carrie Elks📚 Genre: Holiday Romance📅 Release Date: October 23, 2026📱 Read as: Kindle📗 available in various formats - included in Kindle+💸 I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 384⭐️ 4/5Review:Georgia needs to change things in her life. She feels stuck, and when her employer informs everyone that they might potentially lose their jobs, going on her planned holiday does not sound like the best option. Or does it?Upon arriving in London, a handsome stranger nearly runs her over with his car. What she doesn't know is that he owns the hotel where she is staying for the night. When she meets him again, she also doesn't expect him to be part of an aristocratic British family, which comes with a different kind of mess.This year, I'm fully embracing holiday romances, and this one was a lovely addition. Georgia and Theo were such a wonderful couple, and I absolutely adored their banter. Starting the book with a fun take on the American-in-Europe trope, complete with plenty of clichés that come with it, was a great way to set the tone. The chemistry between these two was one of the highlights of the story for me. If you're looking for a romance about two people falling in love, learning to put themselves first, and navigating a mix of British aristocracy and family drama, you'll enjoy this one.
