📚 Looking for a new favorite female detective? I h 📚 Looking for a new favorite female detective? I have a proposal for you 😁🌙 Recension: This Ends Now (Detective Sheridan Holler #2) by T.M. Payne📚 Genre: Mystery, Crime, Thriller📅 Release Date: October 15, 2024📖 Publisher: Thomas & Mercer📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited📱 Read as: Physical💸 Bought🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 384⭐️ 5/5Review:That was an absolute banger. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.How the story wove all the elements together – which didn’t make sense at the beginning – was a masterpiece of storytelling. I wasn’t able to put this one down and had to read it in one sitting.A woman jumping from a building, a couple found dead at the beach, and very horrific events from the past made this feel very dark and intense. This is not for the faint of heart, and for everyone dealing with cases like these in real life – props to you.What I enjoyed a lot were the connections to stories and characters from the first book. It adds to the feeling of being connected to what is happening to and with the characters. What I absolutely adored was the chemistry between Sheridan and Sam. These two are an amazing couple, and I love me some representation.And calling very early in the morning (and it just being accepted as a normal thing between close friends) just to share that your cat is making progress in sleeping closer to you was one of my personal highlights 🙂#detectivesheridanholler #crimethriller #bookstagramgermany
✨ Happy Release day ✨ Fade to Black is Now Availab ✨ Happy Release day ✨Fade to Black is Now Available.🌙 Recension: Fade to Black by Emily Prescott📚 Genre: Romance📅 Release Date: June 20, 2026📖 Publisher: ‎ Penny Luck Studio LLC📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited📱 Read as: Kindle💸 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 305⭐️ 4/5Review:I’m a big fan of second-chance romances, and this one was right up my alley.We meet siblings Jenna & Graham and their sister by heart, Beverly, who have a tight bond and always have each other’s backs. There is a bit of a spark between Beverly and Graham, which they both hold back on while growing up to avoid risking their friendship and bond. It comes across clearly to me that there was always potential, but they never acted on it – it was always in the back of her mind.They occasionally meet over the years and stay in contact, but at some point, that stops. Beverly is unsure why, but it always hurts her a bit. Both move on with their lives, until one day Graham is in town and reaches out. The fact that he’ll be staying next door is a surprise (obviously not 🙂 ), giving them the chance to finally ask the question – do they want to give it a chance or not?I enjoyed the way the story was told. It felt fresh and different. We get a mixture of past events and the present, and with Beverly being a screenwriter, some of it is told as a script.What came across exceptionally well to me was the fact that both of them know each other inside and out. Graham was her biggest cheerleader when she dreamed of becoming a screenplay writer. With her love for rom-coms, he watched every movie she put on his watchlist to better understand her passion for the genre.If you like a slow burn, this is the right book for you. They were dancing around each other so much that I became frustrated with them at times 🙂This was an enjoyable read, which will probably resonate even more with anyone interested in romance movies and or being a movie buff.#arcread #happyreleaseday #bookstagramgermany
📚 I was not expecting it to become even more engag 📚 I was not expecting it to become even more engaging. Timetravel next level.🌙 Recension: Vaianaut (Vai Trilogy #2) by V. Casa📚 Genre: Sci-Fi, Fantasy📅 Release Date: January 26, 2025📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited📱 Read as: Kindle💸 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 338⭐️ 5/5Review:After the meteorite hit the earth, Lily wakes up thousands of years later, only to find out that everything around her has changed. Welcome to the Ice Age :) After so many years of accepting her fate and surroundings, she now has to get used to a completely new environment. She meets humans, and one of them knows her from the future.This is only the beginning of a story that comes with a lot more questions—questions I need answers to, please.While the first instalment mainly focused on topics of loneliness, what it means to find connections, and coming to terms with situations, the second book brings more of the sci‑fi elements to the forefront. It took me a while to mentally switch over to this, but once I was on board, I felt so drawn to the story. The pace picked up while so much was happening. Lily got closer to her old life, even though the road back to it was not an easy one. Suddenly interacting with others again felt necessary, but also suffocating at the same time. She constantly battles with finding connection while also accepting that being immortal (whatever these people did to her) means losing people over and over again. Also to see how nature will always fight back and that humans can be a lot more cruel than wild animals.After the first book, I was eager to continue the journey, and it did not disappoint. I can't exactly point out everything, but I enjoyed this one so much. It felt very different from the first one while staying true to itself. And after that cliffhanger ending, I cannot wait to find out how the story concludes.#arcread #scifibooks #bookstagramgermany
📚 Was wenn Du in Deinem Haus einen geheimen Raum m 📚 Was wenn Du in Deinem Haus einen geheimen Raum mit versteckten Gegenständen findest?🌙 Recension: The Dream Home by T.M. Logan📚 Genre: Mystery, Crime, Thriller📅 Release Date: April 30, 2026📖 Publisher: Piper ebooks📗 available in various formats📱 Read as: Kindle💸 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 406⭐️ 4/5Review:Der Beginn des Buches macht schnell klar, dass die neuen Eigentümer eine Überraschung der anderen Art erwartet. Als Adam beim Renovieren einen abgetrennten Raum entdeckt – der im Grundriss nicht verzeichnet war – und dort Dinge findet, die zunächst unscheinbar wirken, aber mit einer düsteren Vergangenheit verbunden sind, wird ihm sein Interesse an der Wahrheit schnell zum Verhängnis. Die Suche nach Antworten bringt ihn und seine Familie in Gefahr.Ist die Geschichte komplett neu? Sicherlich nicht. Verborgene Räume mit einem dunklen Geheimnis sind definitiv ein bekannter Story-Arc und auch in diesem Fall spannend. Ich war von Beginn an daran interessiert herauszufinden, was damals passiert ist. Jedes Mal, wenn ein Puzzleteil gelöst wurde, kamen sofort neue hinzu. Ich hatte immer mal wieder einen Verdacht, wer es sein könnte, habe mich allerdings doch oft täuschen lassen.Die Erzählweise wechselt zwischen den aktuellen Geschehnissen und jeweils einem kurzen Einblick zu den Personen (die eine Verbindung zum Raum haben) in der Vergangenheit, was die Spannung definitiv intensiviert.Ein solider Thriller, der sehr angenehm und schnell zu lesen ist und nicht mit vielen neuen Ideen daherkommt. Allerdings wird die Story unterhaltsam präsentiert und die vielen Wendungen haben dazu beigetragen, dass ich das Buch am Stück durchgelesen habe. Eine gute Unterhaltung für zwischendurch.#arcread#thrillerbooks #bookstagramgermany
