Losing You

In Nicci French's  Losing You, this thriller was a helluva of a whopper, when it took place in one day in Sandling Island, England. In a nutshell, Nina Landry was a single mother, who was about to go on holiday in Florida, after her daughter Charlotte set her up with a surprise 40th birthday party. When her daughter didn't turn up, she panicked and wanted to find her, while she learned secrets on her daughter's life and accused everybody of keeping secrets from her. In the end, she received the shock at the end of the day, when she fought for her life, when someone she trusted betrayed her. I don't want to give away the closing ending.

In this gripping thriller, I did feel so terrible and bad for Nina and for Charlotte. I hated that it was from one bad surprise to another. It wasn't what she expected, even for her birthday. I loved the Sandling Island location for this storyline. It  made it sound so ideal. This would shock you and leave you shaking in the end.  Great drama, plenty of suspense and intrigue, and lots of shocking twists that were filled with mystery in the way.

Come on and enjoy this thriller today!

Set mostly in Chicago and bits in Cleveland, this one pitted Pepper into a pickle, when she dealt with a manipulative ghost named Madelyn Tremayne, who'd been dead for three years. Only instead of finding out who killed her, this one had an eerie twist, å la The Lovely Bones, when her true colors were revealed to be the bitch of her. Not only that, but Pepper was still in a pickle, when she figured her way out of this and gotten herself involved into a bigger love triangle with Dan and Quinn. It kept getting better.

Third Degree

In Greg Iles's Third Degree, he gave us another scintillating thriller that would chill you to the core. We meet with Laurel Shields, a special education teacher and mother of two, who found out she was  pregnant. The question was, she didn't know if it was her husband or her lover from her affair. When she came home from work, her husband was on the rampage and found out the truth, when things went bad to worse, and the shit had hit the fan, when secrets came out of the dark and into the light, when it was s a fight for survival for Laurel and her family. A thrill ride that lasted all day.

This was an excellent thriller that would leave you breathless and cold to the touch. This made me want to read all of his books, stand-alone or serial. I would recommend it, if you haven't read his book before. This was an excellent page-turner that would leave you guessing for more. I cared about Laurel and her plight, while the jury was still out on Warren. I loved the idealistic small town of Athens Point, Mississippi as the central location and settings for this novel. This would wheel you in with great drama, excellent suspense, non-stop action and intrigue.

And only Sheriff Shane Carter, the man she butted heads with and falls in love, is the one who can save her. I can't wait to read Fatal Burn next year, the second book in the series.

Dark Legacy

If you love paranormal romances with a shocking twist, you'll love Dark Legacy. Ten years ago, Maddie's father died in a car accident, while her twin ended up in a coma. Now in the present, she realized her sister was alive and the link connected them lead to a shocking truth of their dark legacy of psychic connections, when good over evil won with the light over darkness and love conquered hate. They battled their fears and connected again to find their greatest demons in dreams and in real life. A great story!

This was an interesting twist for a paranormal romance. I loved that it had a twin connection as it dealt with the past and present. I loved how it explored the psychic phenomenon  as well.  The dream link was also an interest twist as well to tie things altogether. This was a good example of good versus evil. I thought Maddie was an interesting character while exploring her background. Good drama, lots of action and a hint of romance to even the score.
