Review of Kathryn Knight's The Haunting of Hillwood Farm

The Haunting of Hillwood FarmThe Haunting of Hillwood Farm by Kathryn Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by Kathryn Knight, but will not be my last! I'm sometimes afraid to read, or in this case listen to, paranormal fiction because I find that authors have a hard time getting it right. But this is not the case with Knight's book. She hits it out of the park! I instantly related to and loved the characters. The paranormal aspect was believable and entertaining. And the narration was phenomenal! Can't wait to read more by Kathryn Knight!

Review of Feels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey

Feels Like FallingFeels Like Falling by Kristy Woodson Harvey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book gave me all the feels. Going through a divorce, myself, I could completely relate to main character, Gray (and don't you just love that name!?). This book was entertaining and inspirational, showing that all is not lost when a relationship ends. There are plenty of new beginnings to be found, if one keeps an open heart.

Review of Steena Holmes' The Patient

The PatientThe Patient by Steena Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another amazing read by author, Steena Holmes! This book was a twist a minute. Danielle suspects that one of her three therapy patients is a serial killer. Cleverly placed clues had me wondering which patient it could be, or could it be someone else entirely? Well-developed unreliable characters made this a highly entertaining read!

Review of Where She Went by Kelly Simmons

Where She WentWhere She Went by Kelly Simmons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Author, Kelly Simmons, knocks this one out of the park! Where She Went is a page-turning, must-read-nonstop, edge-of-your-seat, thriller that could've been pulled from recent headlines. It pulled at my mama heartstrings and had me twisted in knots until the end. I say this with each book that I read by Simmons, but this is my new favorite!

Review of Beyond the Horizon by Ella Carey

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the first page, I was entranced in author, Ella Carey’s, latest book, Beyond the Horizon. This historical fiction book was based on World War II’s Women’s Airforce Service Pilots and how they gained military recognition. Protagonist, Eva, was so very relatable. This book had me running through a gambit of emotions, the sign of a truly good read. I can’t wait to get started on Carey’s backlist books!

Review of I'm Fine and Neither Are You by Camille Pagan

I'm Fine and Neither Are YouI'm Fine and Neither Are You by Camille Pagán
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Author Camille Pagan has a way of turning real life crises into tongue and cheek humorous fodder. The protagonist in this book was super relatable and I enjoyed watching her go from a victim of life's circumstances to a rightful hero as she takes control of her life. Pagan is on my short list of one-click authors, and she's never let me down.
