DNF- Defy the Night

DNF- Defy the Night

Unfortunately pandemic plots stress me out. And honestly I was a bit bored reading and couldn’t get into it. I even took a break and came back, but no luck. This has two points of view. I didn’t get very far so I don’t have much input.

Change of Heart

Review #559 I’d rate this audio a 4.5/5 stars. If I’m not mistaken this is my first book read by this author. It flowed fluidly with average prose that dint have hiccups or difficulties. I enjoyed the work force dynamics and how Whitney had the seniority over him. Yet...

The Best of All

Review #558 I give this steamy romance a 4.9/5 stars! It had two points of view, and ended with a happily ever after. This book was raw, emotional, & came highly recommended by our bookclub leader. I listened to it on audio and the male character outshined the...

The Ex Vows

Review #557 I gave this bookclub selection a 4.9/5 stars. Second chance romance isn’t my favorite but I loved this one. They felt very real and her internal struggle was very reliable. The tension is tangible so I was all for it! Not to mention their mutual...

The Perfect Son

The Perfect Son

Review #556 This may be my favorite by Freida so far! The high school aged characters didn’t annoy me which is great. I guessed wrong for who the villain was which always makes me happy. I like that Freida tries to do some education about mental health diagnosis in...

Do Not Disturb

Review #555 I’ll give this Freida thriller a high 4.6/5 stars. I don’t have many notes since I’ve been listening so many of hers in a row and just enjoying them instead of critiquing. It feels like the author does a great job of researching the disabilities she...

The Locked Door

Review #554 I gave this standalone thriller a 4.5/5 stars. It was terrifying in theory. (Less so since the narrators voice sounded almost comical half the time). It was a bit strange to have half the points of view being in the mind of an 11 year old. After reading so...

The Surrogate Mother

The Surrogate Mother

This is my least favorite of Freida McFadden books I’ve read so far. Here’s the ratings of this one and the others. Like each one so far, all have been audio. The Surrogate Mother- 3.75/5 stars Want to Know a Secret- 3.8/5 stars  The Coworker- 4.0/5 Ward D – 4/5...

Want to Know a Secret?

Want to Know a Secret?

Review #552 The cover image didn’t feel representative of the book both with mood and plot. This felt more like a dramatic desperate housewives in suburbia issue with gossip and back stabbing. I never felt the spine tingling thriller sensation that he either books...

Ward D

Review #551 I will rate this psychological thriller a 4.0/5 stars. It was different audio than other thrillers I’ve read recently. Honestly I had a harder time settling into this one because I kept trying to guess what the twist was which distracted me from fully...

Silence and Shadow

Review #550 I rated the first one called, “Blood & Moonlight” a 4.5/5 stars on May 13, 2023 but since then my tastes have changed in the last 18 months, I’m unsure if I’ll like the sequel as much since it’s very YA. I have a huge personal issue with broken up...

The Coworker

Review #549 Binge-listening to Freida’s books are always easy and addictive. This wasn’t one of my favorites by her because of the revenge aspect and it ended more “happily ever after” compared to what I expected. I’ll rate this one a 4.0/5 stars. This audio has two...

The Midnight Feast

The Midnight Feast

Review #548 The Midnight Feast was a more complicated audible than what I’m used to listening to due to all the several points of view and the three timelines of when they were teens, the day before the solstice and the day after the solstice.  I’ll rate it a...

Review #547 Well I’ve binged another Freida book and I’m officially addicted to her stories. The only issue is sometimes it gets frustrating with how quickly her main character seesaws back and forth with their internal thought process on a specific question/topic....

The Gossip & the Grump

Review #546 The Gossip and the Grump was a cute easy audio (that’s a standalone within a related series.) This romcom with mild steam got an average 4.0/5 stars for me but I’m not desperate to read more by this author asap.  I liked Gray’s chapters and narrator...
