Imagine waking up in the hospital, not knowing where you are or how you got there.  Freya and her cleaner, Iris get into an accident and end up in a hospital.  But the twist is, Iris is claiming her name is Freya and Freya cant get anyone to believe that its not true.  And they think Freya is having problems with her memory.  The story is spellbinding and amazing in the only way Daniel Hurst can write.

Review: The Happy Family

The Happy Family by Daniel Hurst
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the 3rd in a series and you MUST read the all.  It follows Luna, a woman who is intent on having Sadie's family and little by little she worms her way into their lives, taking over slowly.  Book 1 is the foundation to where it builds up in Book 2 and finally explodes in Book 3.  If you read nothing else this year, make sure you put this series on your TBR list.  

Every twist and turn has you holding on to your seat watching this woman slowly take someone's else life over ....  until you get to the amazing ending!

A great short story to read.  Starts off interesting -  Trapped and injured, Riley must find the strength to outwit her captor and unravel his twisted scheme before it’s too late. Because if she doesn’t stop him, no one will.

Follow Riley as she needs to escape her captor and what she does to try to get free, great story.

Review: Vanished

Vanished by Joseph Finder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First time reading this author and this book is 1 of 4 in a series, which I will probably read also.  The book starts off very interesting, 

Desperate, with nowhere else to run, Nick's nephew, Gabe makes that call one night. After being attacked in Georgetown, his mother, Lauren, lies in a coma, and his step-dad, Roger, Nick's brother, has vanished without a trace.

And continues to be full of twists and turns.  Looking forward to continuing the series.

Review: People Like Us

People Like Us by Kiersten Modglin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Astrid marries Simon she didnt know what she was getting into when his family welcomed her. To her ultra rich in-laws she was an outsider and she soon found out how much she wasnt part of their inner circle.  As much she tries to prove she is part of the family, she falls short especially when strange things start to happen.

I love all books by Modglin and this one did not disappoint.  The twists and suspense have you turning the page and getting so engrossed in the story.....even I wasnt sure where the story was leading.  Great book.

More Than Enough by Anna Quindlen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Polly belongs to a book club which consists of friends who love to get together and chat, not necessarily about the book.  When Polly gets a DNA kit from her friends, she decides to try it and finds out she is a match to a stranger.  A book about friendship, love and trust.

Review: The Correspondent

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new author read because of a Book Club read.  While I wasnt getting into it because it consisted of Sybil writing letters to about everyone she knew and didnt know, I found it interesting because letter writing is a dying art.  People just dont do it anymore in the age of emails and texting.  But I felt this was her way of pouring out her feelings and not getting immediate responses.

Quite a few chapters in, it gets interesting when she receives a letter from someone with only their initials who brings back to her a painful period in her past life.  She then needs to face this time and the person who brought it back into light.

Review: The Divorce

The Divorce by Freida McFadden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say?  Its a McFadden book...and I finished it in two days.  A page turner but also filled with questions, secrets and twists.  What I thought I was reading wasnt what I was reading.  I had this book all figured out until I didnt.  

Easy story, man marries woman, gives her a beautiful home, they have a little boy and everything seems great.  But slowly the seams come apart and half way through the book you think you know where it is going.  But then you start to wonder who the crazy person is.  Great read with McFadden doing her finest which is putting the question in the question mark!!!  You wont see it coming!  Put it on your TBR list.
