My review

No Time To Say Goodbye by Bill Adler Jr.
This was a weird read. Dennis kept losing Time. This was an ok read. I did find it slow. I wasn’t sure how i feel about this book. I don’t hate it but I don’t like it either. 3*.

Blurb

Yesterday, all Dennis Tanner wanted was to love his wife, Rachel, and to be the best doctor he could. Today, all Dennis wants is to stop traveling forward in time, before the woman he loves, his friends, and his entire world are gone.

Will Dennis discover the answer to why he’s been traveling into the future? Will he finally be able to stop or will he continue to travel, alone and bereft, until time itself ends?

No Time to Say Goodbye is a gripping novella about one man’s desperate attempt to hold onto love and life no matter what happens, no matter where—or when—he is.

He considers himself an artist…

His medium is murder.

Someone is killing young women, strangling them in their beds, and arranging their bodies in a certain way after death.

The police have no witnesses and the killer has left no clues. When a second victim is discovered, DI Erica Swift finds herself on the hunt for another serial killer…

Lara Maher is living with a man who controls her every move. He treats her like a precious possession, and their shared past ties her to him. But now something has changed, and his increasingly volatile moods terrify her…

As the rate of the murders increases, Erica needs to work fast to prevent him from killing again.

One thing she does know is that he likes young, professional, blonde women.

Women just like Erica….

Will she risk her own life to stop him when she’s already lost so much, or is there another woman out there who can help?

Unseemly by Jason parent.
This was a short novella. I really enjoyed this book. Creepy and spooky. I liked Peter’s character. I loved the cover. So creepy. Gave me chills. How the creatures were described i could see them clearly and it was spooky. I was surprised with the ending too. I do like this author and I love horror. 5*.

Is the disappearance of his teammate truly the work of the legendary fae, or is a sinister force at play?

This side of death by Andrew Barrett.
This is csi Eddie Collins book 6.
Another brilliant read from Andrew.  I love Eddie’s character.  I love how he is. I didn’t like Dibbles though. Especially how he was with Eddie at the start. Wow. I hope there is more to come.  5*.

Blurb

This Side of Death. When the past comes back to hunt you. 

Alex Sheridan believes the only way she can be free of her demons is to kill the men in her life. She has a list, and Crime Scene Investigator Eddie Collins is on it. 
Death misses Eddie by inches, and Alex is locked away in Juniper Hill high-security hospital.

Everything is fine for Eddie until one day four years later, when Alex escapes. This time she’s better prepared.

The week that follows ruptures Eddie’s life and shatters the belief he had in his own past, leaving him wondering what really happened, and facing one stark choice: who to kill and who to save.
 
This Side of Death is the most revealing CSI Eddie Collins novel to date. Prepare to see inside his past and understand what makes him the angriest, most feared, and yet most respected CSI in England.

The secret letters by Taryn Leigh.
This was a lovely read. Great story and characters.  I liked Rachel character.
She was my favourite.  I was surprised with who it was that wrote the letters. I was surprised with the ending too. 4*.

Blurb

CAN SECRETS REMAIN HIDDEN FOREVER?

‘Brilliantly written! An irresistible combination of romance, drama and suspense. I couldn’t put it down.’

RACHEL, saved from an attack twelve years before by a faceless stranger, never got to thank him, never knew his name.

Despite the devastation she chose to rise above it to help others from their pain by becoming a psychologist….
Her only issue now is that she’s an expert at fixing everyone else’s problems, and blind to her own.

After a long relationship with her boyfriend WILL starts to go south, she turns to her best friend AMELIA for guidance.

Suddenly her world is turned upside down when tragedy strikes and she’s left with no one to comfort her but Will’s rude older brother RUARI.

Paralyzed by fear, she struggles to take grip of her life, until the day when anonymous letters begin to appear from the stranger who saved her twelve years before.

A lifetime ago by Jim Ody.
This is Hudson Bell book 1.
A very enjoyable read with some good characters. Hudson was my favourite character.  I liked how Hudson and Jez were. I liked May. I wasn’t sure about the other characters.  I did like the story.  The ending did surprise me.  Looking forward to the next book.  4*.

Blurb

This is a tale about how the events of one day have such catastrophic consequences on the future.

Hudson Bell is a consultant for the police. A former DI, he spends his days helping to find missing children.

May and her son go on a road trip to celebrate his birthday; Robert and Nadia buy their dream house by the sea.

But as each look to enjoy a new life, none of them can shake off what happened on that fateful day. One of them blames the others and will stop at nothing to seek revenge.

One accident and five lives changed forever.

Unexpected expectations by Lauren Helms.
This is book 18 of 425 madison ave series.
I love this series. I liked Lucy and Kevin.
I really enjoyed this book. I hope there is more to come.  4*.

Blurb

Kevin
With everyone around me settling down, I’m happy to continue living my life single and carefree.
That is unless I can convince the concierge, Lucy Wilson at 425 Madison to finally take me up on that offer to go out on a date.

She’s beautiful, friendly, and her compassion for each and every one of the residents is admirable. Something tells me that she doesn’t see herself that way at all though.

This is why I’ve made it my mission to break her out of her overly cautious shell starting with a lucky penny and a $10 raffle ticket.

It was all supposed to be a little fun but when a large dose of lucky graces us, everything suddenly becomes unexpected.

Lucy
He thinks I don’t see him, but I do. Oh yes, I’ve been aware of the all too good looking Kevin Harper for quite some time now.

The thing is, I’m not sure that we have enough in common and I sure don’t have the free time for a social life between my job and school. Dating? That’s pretty far down on the list of things I’d like to check off – not by choice.

That is until Kevin convinces me that a little fun is good for the soul.

What started as a $10 raffle ticket turned into a vacation in Vegas and a whole lot of expectations that neither of us saw coming.

I always believed in fairy tales, but I wonder if what we have is too good to be true. I can only hope that it’s true what they say…

After all, 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.
