New #Bookreview of "Murder Notes" by Lisa Renee Jones! Thanks @NetGalley and Montlake Romance for the chance to read and review this book! 🌹Synopsis🌹 FBI Agent Lilah Love is working a serial killer case that brings her back home to the Hamptons, where she hasn’t returned for two years. She left behind her family, her lover, and a dark secret, the latter of which she’ll do anything to protect. But this serial killer seems to know her secret. Will she be able to catch him before he strikes again? Or worse—before he reveals her secret to the world? I recommend this book to readers who love a badass main character, a strong sense of place, and a fast-paced plot. Read the full review on my blog!

New #bookreview for #murdertrending by @gretchen_mcneil which comes out on August 6th! Link to full review in bio... Dee Guerrera is innocent of killing her step-sister, but this doesn’t stop her from being convicted of first-degree murder and sent to the country’s top prison – Alcatraz 2.0. However, Dee doesn't spend the rest of her life trapped in a tiny cell. Instead, she becomes one of many stars of a sick reality TV show. Everyday she goes to work at an ice cream parlour on the island called “I Scream” and returns home to her house in the barracks. But this isn’t an idyllic, peaceful existence. She—along with all the other convicted criminals—are always in danger. Because on Alcatraz 2.0, there are serial killers who hunt down the prisoners, and the killings are live-streamed for the millions of fans watching from the luxury of their homes. I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting. It is a fun, campy, thrilling read with lots of relevant references to pop culture. I recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a fun summer read—so long as they aren’t afraid of a little (okay maybe a lot of) gore. ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ /5 stars!
