A chilling ghost story with a twist: the New York Times bestselling author of THE WINTER PEOPLE returns to the woods of Vermont to tell the story of a husband and wife who don’t simply move into a haunted house, they start building one from scratch, without knowing it, until it’s too late…

In 1924, a young mother, Hattie Breckenridge, is hanged from a tree in her yard by the town mob, accused of a crime that was actually committed by her daughter. Nearly a century later, a young married couple, Helen and Nate abandon the comforts of suburbia to begin the ultimate, aspirational do-it-yourself project: building the house of their dreams on the same forty-four acres of rural land where Hattie once lived. When they discover that this charming property has a dark and violent past, Helen, a former history teacher, becomes consumed by Hattie’s story and the tragic legend of her descendants, three generations of “Breckenridge women,” each of whom died amid suspicion, and who seem to still be seeking something elusive and dangerous in the present day.

My Thoughts

This is the first book I have read by Jennifer McMahon. I also would not have read this book if I did not see this as an option on one of the Goodreads challenges. I mean I did not know what horror book I would like but the description just called to me. The story started off with a bang, but it just slowed after that.

 The story mostly focuses on Nate and Helen, a couple who brought the land where Hattie a supposed witch who died on the land. Helen was a history teacher before they moved to Vermont, so all the history of Hattie and her family intrigued her. It intrigued her so much that she started looking for objects that was around when Hattie and any of her family died… She literally started bringing haunted objects into her new home. The story also followed a 14-year-old named Olive who was searching for Hattie’s treasure in the hopes that her mother might come back but later it turned into looking for answers into what happened to her mother.

Later the lives of the three got intertwined.

Now I already told you this book started of with a bang and then slowed down. Slowed down to much for my taste. I mean when I read horror stories with ghost in then I expect more fright where I would be scared to be alone or not want to go to bed. But this book didn’t have that scare factor that I wanted. I did enjoyed this book and I might go read more books by Jennifer because I enjoyed the writing style.

One twin wakes in a hospital bed with no memory.

BLOG TOUR + GIVEAWAY – The Rescuer by G.K. Brady

 


She’s moving on. 

He’s running out of time. 

One reckless night changes everything.

The Rescuer

Fall River Series Book 3

by G.K. Brady

Genre: Small-Town Second Chance Romantic Suspense



She’s moving on. He’s running out of time. One reckless night changes everything.

Reece Hunnicutt has spent his life coming to the rescue—whether it’s pulling climbers off treacherous mountain faces or volunteering to string the town’s Christmas lights. But after walking away from the elite search and rescue squad that gave him purpose, Reece is a man untethered, without a landing pad and dodging questions about his future. The one constant in his life? His quiet dedication to his small mountain town and his brothers who have no idea he’s about to embark on a new future that will take him to the other side of the continent.

Town veterinarian Neve Embry has been nursing a one-sided love for Reece since childhood. But she’s done waiting for him to see her as more than a kid sister who needs his protection. Between juggling a struggling clinic and starting up an exciting new relationship with a charming billionaire resort owner, Neve is determined to move on. Sparks might not fly with her new beau, but at least her heart isn’t on the line.

Until one impulsive night in Vegas changes everything.

Waking up married to Reece is the last thing Neve expects—or wants. But when her clinic is vandalized and her life upended, Reece insists on sticking around until the culprit is caught. Forced to live under the same roof, their shaky alliance begins to crack under the weight of their undeniable chemistry.

As danger closes in and secrets come to light, Reece and Neve must confront the truth about their desires—and decide whether this love can be rescued.

 

Amazon * Bookbub * Goodreads





The urge to giggle had everything to do with nerves and nothing to do with how he looked. No, nothing about his physique was giggle-worthy. If Neve could have crafted the perfect male specimen, he would have looked exactly like Reece. A sculpted torso that started at wide shoulders and tapered to a trim waist, like a V, above a perfectly square butt. Smooth, tan skin.

His back was to her, so she couldn’t assess the man package, but judging by the way it had felt against her in bed, he wasn’t lacking in that department either.

He came to a stop and glanced over his shoulder. “You’re staring.”

She swallowed a yelp.

A slow grin spread over his face—at least the side she could see in profile. “You know what they say. You see mine, I see yours.”

“That’s so childish!” she spluttered. “Besides, you’ve already seen it, and so have I.”

“We were five years old, Neve. I think things have changed since then.”

Details.

She brushed at something tickling her shoulder and looked up. “They have robes in here. His and hers, judging by the sizes.”

“Good because I can’t find a single stitch. Throw one out, would you?”

Hoisting herself to her feet, she slid the smaller robe from its hanger and quickly pulled it on before handing him the other one through the closet door.

“Thanks.” Fabric rustled. “As much fun as it is talking to you through a closet door, I think it’d be much easier if you came out.”

“Are you decent?”

“Always.”

She opened the door and stepped out—and tried not to laugh, especially given the seriousness of their dilemma. The robe hit him at the knees, and the sleeves were halfway up his forearms.

“We need to figure this out,” they both said at the same time.

“Maybe there are some clues in here.” Reece loped toward their adjoining doors, which stood wide open, but before she could follow, he let out a strangled sort of noise from his bedroom.

“What is it?” She hurried through the doorway.

“Found our clothes.”

His bed looked as though a herd of elephants had tap-danced on it. Scattered around said bed were various bits of his and her wedding outfits. Her panties lay in a crumpled heap beside his boxers, and her matching strapless bra hung over a chair that sat cockeyed to the desk. On the nightstand stood two empty champagne bottles, along with a half-dozen martini glasses, also empty.

She gasped and tried not to hurl.

He held up his hands. “Don’t panic.” Traipsing over to the desk, he switched on the lamp and picked up a piece of paper. A groan punched from his lungs.

“What? What is it?”

He locked gazes with her. “You can panic now.”

A mere beat passed, and she was by his side, gawking at what he held in his hands. Her already-unsettled stomach plummeted to her toes. “That’s … that’s …”

“A marriage license. Yeah.”

“It’s got to be a joke. Are those our real names?”

“Looks like.”

He plucked up what looked like a receipt and whipped his head toward her. His eyes dipped to her hand. “Holy Mother of …”

She followed his gaze, and her mouth swung open.

He pointed at her hand. “That is not fake.”

On her left ring finger was a big-ass diamond and a matching band.

Now she darted her eyes to his left hand. “Uh, you seem to be wearing what looks like the man version of mine. These must be fake! Right?”

“Don’t think so.” He held up the receipt.

She covered her mouth to hold back a choked cry. “Is that a six? With four zeros after it?”

“No, that’s an eight.” He rubbed his forehead with his free hand. “Damn! I bought these!”

She inspected the ring, which was almost too big for her small finger. “It is beautiful.”

“I have great taste. Did you have a say in it, or did I just … buy it?”

She blinked. “You’re asking me?”

“You were there, weren’t you?”

“Yeah, I was there, but I was as drunk as you, and everything’s a black hole.”

Dear God, what had they done?

Whispers of You

Genres:
Romantic Suspense, Small Town Romance, Second Chance Romance, Contemporary Romance
Source:
Kindle edition


One night—a single bullet—cost me everything.

My body, broken beyond repair. The boy I’d thought was my forever. The life I’d always dreamt of.

Now, Holt’s back. And he’s no longer a boy, but a man with shadows in his eyes and demons haunting him.

He says he’s here to make things right. To get back a little bit of all we’ve lost. And he doesn’t show any signs of leaving the small town that has been my refuge.

As stolen moments turn to days, Holt’s around every corner. With his burning stare and lingering touches. Before long, my walls come crashing down and I’m just hoping that taking this second chance isn’t as reckless as it feels.

But not everyone is happy that Holt has returned. As tragedy strikes again, I’m the one left in the crosshairs. And Holt might not be able to save me this time…goodreadsbutton


My Thoughts

I absolutely loved this book. This book pulled me in from the very beginning to the very end. I normally don’t like reading about all the angst, but this felt so real. It has been a very long time since I enjoyed reading romance and this book has officially made me look for more romance books instead of just mystery thrillers.

So, thank you Cathrine for getting me back into romance!! Wren and Holt have my heart. Their story was both beautiful and heartbreaking and like I said before it felt so real. I loved reading how the two found each other again and opening their hearts once more for each other. I wish I had a love like Holt and Wren but alas that will be wishful thinking. Oh, my emotions were all over the place when I read this. As this book started with Wren and Holt still young and in love then in one night everything shatters. They lose their love for years to come until Holt’s father has a heart attack and Holt returns to the small town. But wow that angst and emotions between the two.

All in all, this is my first book that I have read by Catherine Cowles, and I can’t wait to read more! The suspense was nice, and the romance made my heart go all a flutter. The writing was amazing. Though the “villain” of the book was so unexpected! I was just in shock when I came to that part…. So yes, I fully recommend this book to those who love second chance romances with just the right amount of suspense. This book is on my to re-read list!!!

My Thoughts

So, the first thing that was brought to my attention when I saw this book was the cover. It was cute and then I read the description and that pulled me in more. I was looking for something cozy and this delivered. This is the opposite of the cozy mysteries I like to read but I quite enjoyed it.

Jeanie was so cheerful and Logon is grumpy, but he just reminded me of the grumpy cat whenever I read about him. All the grumpiness just hides his soft side. I cannot tell you how many times I giggled or just smiled for no reason, and I enjoyed listening to the Spotify playlist while I read this book. It was such a great end of the night for me while I was still reading the book.  This book made me want to move to a small town…. though that’s not going to happen 😛

I liked the book so much that I even bought the other books in this series and cannot wait to read the rest. It was cozy and sweet and a fun quick read and I literally fell in love with Dream Harbor and it people from the first chapter. I would recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Some doors are locked for a reason…

While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing homework, she had no idea her father was killing women in the basement.

Until the day the police arrived at their front door.

Decades later, Nora’s father is spending his life behind bars, and Nora is a successful surgeon with a quiet, solitary existence. Nobody knows her father was a notorious serial killer. And she intends to keep it that way.

Then Nora discovers one of her young female patients has been murdered. In the same unique and horrific manner that her father used to kill his victims.

Somebody knows who Nora is. Somebody wants her to take the fall for this unthinkable crime. But she’s not a killer like her father. The police can’t pin anything on her.

As long as they don’t look in her basement.

goodreadsbutton


My Thoughts

This is the second book that I’ve read by Frieda McFadden and I’m still not sure if I like the author or not. I mean I did enjoy this book but there were times when I just wanted to stop reading. I didn’t like Nora that much, she felt too arrogant for me, and I don’t know if it’s the character itself or the writing style. Yet I still enjoyed this book.

I mean the first thing that caught my attention for this book was the description. I mean serial killer sign me right up when it comes to mystery thriller novels. Though I expected a bit more… I felt like more crime and suspense was needed. I mean certain times in this book it just felt so slow. I did enjoy trying to figure out who the copycat chiller was and if there was anyone who knew Nora’s identity. And true who wants to be known as a serial killer’s daughter because I certainly wouldn’t. I also liked wondering what the true nature Nora really had and not what she shows when it comes to hiding.

All in all, this was an enjoyable read. I will also go and read more of Frieda’s books. Though that ending for me was unexpected…. I really did not see that coming and I should have. The writing was done well but this book does not stand out as I expected it would. I need to read more books by Frieda to see if I like the author or not.

BLOG TOUR + GIVEAWAY – Detective Ryan Mysteries by Clive Fleury

 


The truth doesn’t sleep — and neither does Detective Ryan.


Off Season

A Detective Ryan Mystery #1

by Clive Fleury

Genre: Cozy Mystery



Detective Ryan navigates drug overdoses, a mysterious foot on the beach and a long-buried cold case.

Detective Ramesh Ryan’s career with Sydney’s prestigious Organized Crime Unit is on the up, until he loses a court case against the city’s most powerful drug dealer. In disgrace, the detective is relocated to the tiny Australian beach town of Barton.

It is off-season in Barton-when its few criminals usually take a well-earned rest. But not this year! With the detective’s arrival, the town suddenly becomes murder central. Two bodies are discovered in the space of days, both victims of drug overdoses. Then a mysterious foot is found washed up on the beach, and memories are awoken of an unsolved cold case of the teenager who disappeared fifteen years ago. Add to this a blossoming romance, along with a contract taken out on Ryan’s life, and it’s clear that the detective has jumped out of the Sydney frying pan into the Barton fire.

What follows is an action-packed adventure, thrilling at every turn-where truth and lies are almost impossible to separate, and unexpected twists are the order of the day.

All Or None

A Detective Ryan Mystery #2


Returning to Sydney, Detective Ramesh Ryan is promoted to the Homicide Squad. Zoe Yang joins him there. Now a detective herself, she is assigned as his junior partner. Straight up, the cops are off and running-investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to past events.

As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the detective finds that he too, is in the killer’s crosshairs. But Ryan is distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an old university friend. He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new obsessive desire for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to her recent medical tests? And there’s another pressing problem-the plague of rats in his apartment block.

Detective Ryan’s hands are well and truly full!

 

Praise For ALL OR NONE

A riveting read. Anyone who likes mystery and crime, you won’t be able to put this down. Thought it was an elegant continuation of this universe. – Carolina R, Amazon Reviewer

I really enjoyed this book. I love it when you keep changing your mind about who did it to find out at the end that you’re still wrong. – Nancy F., Goodreads Reviewer

 

All or None exceeded my expectations. The murders kept me guessing, but what I loved most was Ryan himself tough on the outside, vulnerable on the inside, and surrounded by challenges that made him relatable. – Mary M., Goodreads Reviewer

 

I devoured this ARC in two sittings. The tension builds perfectly, and the clues are woven in so well that you feel like you’re investigating alongside Ryan and Zoe. The personal subplots (his mom, the romance, even the rats!) add depth without slowing down the action. – Minor C, Goodreads Reviewer

Release Date: February 10, 2026

All Birdee Calvert wanted was to be normal.

She wanted the parents who didn’t divorce when she was a kid and make her life a living nightmare. She wanted the sisters who actually liked her. She wanted to live in a town where everyone loved her and didn’t have a single bad thing to say about her.

That was not the life Birdee was given.

She had the exact opposite life. The kind of life where she slunk through the grocery store with a hoodie on so no one would recognize her. The kind of life where men like Creed Daugherty didn’t give her a second look.

After years of abuse and heartache, she built walls. Big, huge, thick ones that no one could ever breach. If she didn’t put forth the effort to get to know someone, she couldn’t be hurt.

At least, that was the theory.

She never counted on Creed Daugherty hitting her with his truck. Then, deciding that once he entered her life, he would never leave it.

Though Birdee should’ve known that Creed was too good to be true.

All it takes is one mistake on her part, and Creed freezes her out. Then forces the rest of the town to make it almost impossible for her to live in Sawtooth, Montana, anymore.

Birdee only thought it couldn’t get worse.

But Creed makes sure to show her that it can and will.

The thing about rock bottom?

Once you’re there, you have nothing else to lose.

And Creed Daugherty just made himself enemy number one.
