The Lake House-Books On Tour (Review)-Psychological Thriller-Available Now

I have recently read and enjoyed two of this author’s books (She Lies Alone and Two Widows), so I was looking forward to this one. While I did like this story, I will be honest in saying I thought it could have been better. The atmosphere was perfect, but the relating of the plot was spotty.

First the good. It doesn’t get much better than a secluded house by a lake, where old friends gather to catch up. Throw in dark woods, no cell service, and miles from civilization and you have the perfect creep-inducing atmosphere.

There were times where I felt claustrophobic while reading. I think that was because the author did a good job of relating Megan’s feelings about the whole situation. There are several reasons that she feels off about this reunion. Some are obvious and others are only revealed late in the book.

That was also done well. There were twists right up to the very end (and I mean quite literally the last lines) of the book. I like when an author can produce that very last gasp of surprise.

The aforementioned atmosphere was also effective. While the women in the book were a bit younger than me, I could relate to the milestone birthdays and feeling of recapturing what they thought were good times. Turns out, not so much.

What worked for me is that because I am of a certain age, the whole setting reminded me of the Friday the 13th movies, which were pivotal in building my list of “scary locations” for books and movies. This obviously fit right in.

While the author did have me guessing at who was really behind everything (there were a couple of good red herrings) I thought the reasoning for the real perpetrator was flimsy and not fully developed.

If there had been more flashbacks or a few more hints, I think it would have played better. As mentioned, the red herrings were almost more plausible than the actual reasoning.

There was also quite a bit of repetitiveness, especially when it came to “placing blame” for who was responsible for the predicament the ladies were in. After finishing the book, I now know why that was important, but during the reading, it was a bit tedious.

The same goes for Megan’s thoughts about her family. I get now that it was to build her background and up to those last pages, but over the course of the book, it was just sort of “oh, she said that again.”

Lastly, I thought the owner of the Lake House and everything surrounding him, was an easy out that played along current political lines. It seemed clumsy, and more to appease a point of view than really have impact on the plot.

That being said, I did think the story was good and the creepy camp/location was enough to make a note to myself to always check out vacation places thoroughly. I would still recommend this book for those reasons.

After the Crash-Books On Tour (Review)-Fiction/Family Drama-Available Now

This was an honest portrayal of how grief can both numb and blind the people affected by a tragedy.

I thought that the author did a really good job of setting the scene. It was a scenic, family-friendly, small town that served as a juxtaposition to what Louisa was experiencing. It was nice to see how these two opposing things set against each other.

In that regard, I thought the creation of the characters was also well-done. Although I could not relate to Louisa on a personal level (thankful for that), I most definitely related on a professional level.

I have been a freelance writer for over five years, so I totally got her feelings on writing assignments, deadlines, and the realization that editors only care about your work – no matter how much you want to think they actually like you.

That, I think, made me more sympathetic to her personal struggles, because I came from a place of at least partial understanding.

I guessed the “big reveal” pretty much from the beginning, but I was intrigued by how the author rolled out the information. I loved how the characters were fully formed (both to the reader and each other within the story) before things got more complicated.

I also found Robin and Leah’s plot line to be engaging. At first, I thought it was just in place as a holder for Louisa’s story, but I thought the author did a fine job of Leah’s eventual truthfulness with her mother.

She was also a catalyst for a major turning point in the story, which was unexpected. That was well-done also.

While I liked just about everything in the book, especially the concept of art and the thought of the beach as a canvas, I did think that a few revelations seemed forced. They didn’t bother me, just seemed to come out of nowhere.

But major props for one of the most thrilling, page-turning climaxes that wasn’t in a crime/suspense/thriller book. Sometimes, family drama has a more subtle turning point. Not the case here. You have to hang on for this one!

I would definitely recommend this book. The message of forgiveness (of self, of others) and recognizing one’s own errors, but recognizing the ability to correct them and move forward with life are great reminders. Definitely pick this one up!

The Winter Girls-Books On Tour (Review)-Crime Thriller-Available Now

Agent Tori Hunter is back, and I’m so very glad that Braddock is back with her.

This is one series where I almost like the secondary characters more than the main character herself. But more on that in a minute.

I love the way this author writes. The scenes are so descriptive that I feel like I am watching a movie in my head as I read. Even the sound effects of tires squealing or guns blazing have a place in the writing.

I appreciate that because it doesn’t seem forced or overdone. It simply becomes part of the action.

And oh, what action there is. Starting with the opening scene and carrying through to the very last pages, this one is a page-turner for sure. It’s even complete with one of the most thrilling car chases I’ve ever read.

(Yeah, that was an odd sentence to write – but it’s true).

I also thought that the balance between Tori’s personal and professional lives was good. In her case, they tend to meld together though, because her beau also ends up being a partner during investigations.

Which leads me back to Braddock.

I don’t want to get too personal, but he reminds me so much of my husband, that I drink in every word about him. Even down to his experiences with 9/11, it’s like the author interviewed my husband and built Braddock based on him.

It’s one thing to relate to a character, it’s another to feel like you personally know them. The latter is the case with Braddock for me.

In that regard, I guess I like Tori because she likes Braddock? I wish I related to her a little more – although I do have some of the same thoughts as her. As I read, I found myself thinking something and then she would say it a few lines later. That was kinda cool too.

Regardless of the personal feelings I have, this is just really a good story. I don’t want to give away any major plot points, but the author gives a very honest look at a crime that is widespread, but sadly often flies under the radar

There is also an accurate portrayal of a very touchy, personal, and complicated subject. It was obvious (to someone who has been through the process described in the book) that the author did copious amounts of homework to get the details right.

I guess that’s why I’ll keep coming back to Tori and Braddock. They’re the most personally relatable team of any of them out there. I can’t wait to see what they tackle next!

The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz-Books on Tour (Review)-Historical Fiction-Available Now

I appreciate when an author has the bravery to tell it like it is and not sanitize events or people for the sake of “propriety” or correctness.

This is one of the most brutally honest historical fiction books I have read in recent memory.

(That’s not to say that others were not factual, because that’s not the case – I’ve read some great ones lately).

But this book is filled with detailed descriptions of the ins and outs of a concentration camp – arguably one of the worst of the worst.

From the attitudes of the Nazis who run the camp to the prisoners who have their own “caste” system within the camp, everything rang horribly realistic.

That constant litany of inhumane treatment and attitudes made Mala and Edek’s story even more compelling.

That being said, there were still glimmers of hope in addition to Mala, Edek, and their compatriots. I don’t want to name names because that could ruin other readers’ perspectives on the characters.

But it served as a reminder that it does nobody any good to paint entire groups of people with a wide brush. Human beings do remain (for the most part) individuals with their personal ideals sometimes hindered in the desire to stay alive.

Kobo: http://ow.ly/C5Ft50CBqbv
Google: http://ow.ly/oVUo50CBqm7

If that sounds convoluted, it’s only because I was touched by a couple of surprise perspectives within the story.

There were some parts where the dialogue didn’t ring true. Other times the inhabitants of the camp seemed to be very chatty with each other and the guards. Now, I suppose this could have been true in some cases, but it seemed overdone in others.

I appreciated how characters from the author’s other book (The Violinist of Auschwitz) made appearances here – this added to the realism of the story that these people would have crossed paths.

However, be forewarned – the fate of the main character of that book is revealed in this one, so if you have an inclination, be sure to read The Violinist… first.

Most importantly, I think, the author managed to capture how fellow prisoners treated each other, which is not often addressed. The lengths of obfuscation of the Nazis with their propaganda (ie the family camp) were also eye-opening.

This was another solid entry in the WWII historical fiction genre.

The Fragile Ones-Books On Tour (Review)-Mystery/Suspense Series-Available Now

Detective Katie Scott and her trusty sidekick Cisco are back for another case. I can honestly say that while this was the most heartbreaking of the five cases (so far), it was also the one I had the hardest time getting into.

It is altogether possible that it’s solely on me for that (and probably is) but it might also be Katie herself.

I’ve enjoyed this series. However, in re-reading my review of the last one (Last Girls Alive) I see that I mentioned that the plot seemed to meander a bit and wasn’t as tight as the previous book. I would have to say the same about this book.

Katie is still sharp and working hard to keep her PTSD at bay. I would have liked to see a little more progress on this front, but I understand why the author keeps it at the particular level.

It’s a condition that can resurface at any time with any trigger – and for many, it never goes away even if the person thinks it has been combatted.

I do still like the camaraderie between Katie and McGaven. They work well together. I do get a bit annoyed at how Katie’s reputation seems to be that of being wonderful. Nobody is that perfect.

That being said, I guess it could be because of her PTSD that people are amazed at how well she does? But that doesn’t make a lot of sense in the bigger picture, and certainly doesn’t fit with the characters.

One disappointment for me is that it seemed from the last book that the author was setting up for a good showdown of wills between Katie and the new undersheriff, Dorothy Sullivan. But unless I just plain ol’ missed it, there was virtually nothing involving the two of them.

I had high hopes for that, but even a search of the undersheriff’s name in the book gave one return. So I’m not exactly sure if I misread the interactions in the previous book, or if the author just decided to go a different direction.

I will say that I got a chill when it came to the description of Rock Creek (roughly ¾ of the way through the book). That was a nice bit of atmosphere that added to the mood.

Anyway, I did like the book, although this is the second in a row where I kind of felt something was missing. I’ll still read the series though because I like Cisco and I like the cold case aspect.

The Wedding-Books On Tour (Review)-Psychological Thriller-Available Now

I’ve been on a good run with psych thrillers lately. This latest from Ruth Heald has all of the hallmarks of a perfect one.

Ambiguous Prologue: check. The reader immediately knows that there is a bride whose wedding day was disrupted. But how, and by whom?

Differing Perspectives: check. We largely get Lauren’s point of view on the events of the story. But we periodically get Adam’s, and those are primarily flashbacks. (More on that in a minute).

Multiple Suspects: check. There are enough characters whose actions are questionable to make the real culprit hard to detect. Is it one person? Two? Is everything connected, or are there separate things going on?

Thriller Ending: check and check. This book had one of the best endings I’ve read in a while. A real page-turner with more than a couple “What the heck/oh no way!” moments. Including one I did not see coming at all (but should have).

The author did a great job of laying out the plot so that I was right along side of Lauren, never knowing exactly who to trust. I didn’t have a lot in common with her character-wise, but her attitude and demeanor were perfect for feeling sympathy towards her and the situation.

This also added to the sense of dread as events start occurring that make her question everyone around her.

I also thought the flashbacks were well-done. Ostensibly, they relate a pivotal trip in Adam and Lauren’s past. But is there more than meets the eye? Yes and no. I had to check the date on an event because I was sure that the trip was during it, but once again, the author outwitted me.

I also thought that the chapters with Adam’s point of view in the present added to the suspense. Is he a heel? Does he love Lauren? When is he telling the truth, if ever? I liked being off-balance when it came to him.

How’s that for a few non-spoilers?

Apple: http://apple.co/33DgtSA 
Kobo: http://bit.ly/37uvhE0 
Google: http://bit.ly/37xatf3

And those aforementioned multiple suspects? Once again, the author did such a good job with plotting that at one point I suspected a character who had given me absolutely no reason to suspect them – only that I was trying to outguess the author.

There were a couple of loose ends, especially with Adam’s relationships, where people kind of just disappeared. To be honest, the ending was so good that I didn’t even realize that there was no ending for those characters. And it didn’t bother me at all.

As I mentioned at the beginning, this is about as perfect a psych thriller that you can find. I read it in one sitting because it drew me in and kept my attention the entire way through.

You definitely do NOT want to miss out on this one.

The French House-Books On Tour (Review)-Historical Fiction-Available Now

Filled with lush descriptions, memorable characters, and vivid events, this historical fiction novel about the world-renowned vineyards of France is not to be missed.

You don’t have to be a wine aficionado to understand the nuances of the plot. Anyone who even pays half attention to wine or celebration will recognize the names of Moet and Cliquot right from the start.

(But just in case, those are two of the most famous brands of champagne available to this day).

Set in the late-1700s to 1800s, the story follows Nicole, the headstrong daughter of a vineyard owner in Reims, France. It’s not a spoiler to reveal that she becomes (shall we say) extremely involved in the wine-making process.

Her journey to get there, however, is not without heartache and lots of troubles.

Apple: http://ow.ly/z5VC50COWVv 
Kobo: http://ow.ly/WhBi50COWRV
Google: http://ow.ly/Bsti50COX0l 

In fact, from the very beginning in the prologue, the author does a fantastic job of melding fictional and non-fictional events and characters into a seamless, compelling, and emotional narrative.

It actually took me a bit longer to read this book than it normally would because I kept stopping to verify who was a real historical figure and who wasn’t. Some were obvious, some less so.

I liked the message of resilience that was woven through the story. It applied not only to Nicole’s situation, but to the grapes themselves. It’s hard to explain, but it worked for me because I saw the vineyards as an extension of her.

I don’t know if that’s what the author intended, but it’s how I read it.

I also particularly liked Natasha. I’ve mentioned how a Russian history class doomed my History major in college, but I remain fascinated with the historical aspect of the culture and people. I’d never given much thought to Russians living in France, or how they would have been impacted by the Napoleonic Wars.

As I have said before, I love learning new things from historical fiction novels. In this case, not only did I learn more about the above-mentioned national ties, but also more about winemaking in general. Fascinating stuff to me.

I was utterly charmed by this novel. Frankly, it was a nice break from WWII (which makes up much of my historical fiction reading). The author’s research was informative, and her writing talent made the vineyards of France come alive. I can’t wait to read more from her.

NOTE: This book was originally titled The Champagne Widow, so you might still find it listed as such on some sites.

Helen loves historical fiction, and in her writing, she’s fascinated by the women throughout history who have made their mark against all the odds. She finds researching the architecture, art and customs of the time really inspirational, and the tiniest detail can spark an idea for a whole chapter. Her female characters rail against the social constraints to which they are subject and often achieve great success, but they are of course flawed and human, like the rest of us. It’s the motivations, flaws, loves and every-day lives of her characters that she loves to bring life, against sweeping historical backdrops – and she will find any excuse to take off and research a captivating location or person for her next story.

Her first novel is set in the Champagne region in France, and she is currently working on her next one, set in late eighteenth-century Paris. She spent a lot of time in France as a child, has lived in Paris and spent a year with her family in a fishing village in South West France, so that’s where her books have ended up being set so far. Who knows where next!

The Pretty One-Books On Tour (Review)-Psychological Thriller-Available Now

This book went in completely different directions than I thought it was going to go. Frankly, even though I enjoyed the whole thing, it left me a little confused.

From the very beginning, I could tell that there was going to be an emphasis on the psychological aspect between Bay and Nell. A situation like theirs is the stuff that psych thrillers are made from.

Add in that they are both teenagers and it multiplies the interest (in my opinion).

As I read further, I could tell that Bay would be the lynchpin in all of it, but I became less certain about who the other part of the equation would be. Would it still be Nell? Anna, the stepmother? Iris, the younger stepsister? Or Dom, the dad who walked out on Bay?

I don’t want to give anything away, but let’s just say that nobody is really left untouched in this story.

That being said, there is also more to it than just blended family drama. The author relays a searing account of the modeling industry (which, from what I know is pretty accurate). These were extremely interesting passages.

Amazon: https://geni.us/B08TRGS59HSocial
Apple: http://ow.ly/UvNa50Dh3Xj
Kobo: http://ow.ly/SKFt50Dh3Wo
Google: http://ow.ly/owyE50Dh3YP

Less successful were the sections about Anna’s marriage and a past love. I felt like these were thrown in as justification for Anna to not see the bigger picture of what was going on with Bay. But they didn’t all work for me.

There were also parts that seemed to drag for a long time. I know that the author was building the tension and that was mostly successful. But there were times that I wish the action would have kicked in a little bit sooner.

The last third of the book really went fast though. Everything came to a head and each character’s motivations became clear. I did think that the extent of a few things were staggering and would have liked a few more hints to them early on.

But the flashback to when Bay and Nell were younger were well-done and laid enough groundwork for the bigger revelations to be plausible.

It all did seem to wrap up rather quickly – almost as if the author decided it just needed to be finished. The prologue served as a “here’s what happened,” when I would have liked a little bit more of that to be action.

But no matter, it was still an enjoyable book. It certainly kept me guessing as to the extent of the psychological games, and I definitely didn’t guess the ultimate reveal. Jealousy can be a real bitch, that’s for sure.

I’d recommend this one – stick with it, because it’s a good look at how easy it is for people to be irreparably broken.

Be Mine Forever-Books On Tour (Review)-Serial Killer Thriller Series-Available Now

I don’t know how she does it!

This is becoming a common refrain, because DK Hood just keeps churning out the Kane and Alton series. BUT (and I can’t stress this enough), the series still manages to feel fresh and exciting.

You’d think that at book 11 (holy moly) that things would be stale, or run-of-the-mill.

You’d be so wrong.

This time around, cheerleaders are disappearing and meeting terrible ends. It would be easy to insert a joke in here about easy targets or something, but it would be too flippant. The author manages to take a cliché and turn it into a serious case.

If you’ve read any of the books, you already have a feeling for how Kane and Alton work together, and this case is no exception. There’s something to be said for familiarity.

But again, that doesn’t mean it’s boring. I found myself confident in the characters enough that I was actually able to see other things that I might have missed if these were “new-to-me” characters.

Does that make sense? I guess I was able to pay attention to smaller details because I wasn’t hyper-focused on the main characters. Maybe other readers will understand what I’m trying to say.

I really enjoy the relationship that they have built with each other. I will say as with any male/female partnership, there is some push-pull as to whether the female can “hang” with the guys. This might irritate some readers.

At this point Jenna has more than proved herself, however, and I feel strongly that any “male dominance” is tempered by her wit, her ability, and her savviness.

Plus, you know, there’s that ending.

Anyway, it’s another solid entry in the Kane and Alton series. I’m sure it will continue just as strongly.

Oh, and yes, it can be read as a stand-alone. But with this number of books in the series, you’d certainly do yourself a load of favors by starting at the beginning. There’s a lot of backstory, and some attitudes/conversations will make more sense if you have a history of the characters.

One Perfect Grave-Books On Tour (Review)-Crime Thriller-Available Now

One of many kick-ass heroines on the pages these days, Nikki Hunt manages to stand out. I thought the first book (The Girls in the Snow) was a good introduction and was happy to see the same commitment to character in this second book.

I thought the introduction of how the bodies were found was unique and chilling (literally – given the location and time of year). Once identifications were made though…that’s when the story really took off.

I liked how the author wove a couple of narratives together to form the bigger picture. I thought that kept it true to investigative form.

I also find Nikki to be a reliable and likeable heroine. She’s tough when she needs to be, but the cases she takes in this one (missing children) allows her to show her vulnerable side as well.

That’s not to say that she can’t kick a little ass when she needs to.

She doesn’t take things at face value all of the time, but she isn’t overly suspicious either. She’s just smart and tries to look for connections.

The ones she finds in this book are largely unexpected. No spoilers, but I totally didn’t see the end coming. The author did a great job of relaying plot points to keep the reader engaged without giving away huge hints that made it too easy to figure out.

I will say that there might need to be a trigger warning for some readers, as some of the actions of the perpetrator are disturbing. But (again) the author does a very good job of showing the evil side of people without getting salacious or overdoing it.

I like Nikki. She’s tenacious, and she knows her stuff. This is definitely a series I will continue to follow.
