Mary's Book Reviews

Tuesday April 20, 2021 Decide to start doing the dewey's 24 readathon board game today. First roll I got a 5 which had me land on read a contemporary. I decided to read the Guest List for this since it is a newer thriller so it is contemporary really. Only 23 pages in so far. Not sure I like many of the characters that have been introduced but maybe after a little more of the book I will make up my mind. I really dislike the bride right now lol. 52 pages in now and the bride is still getting on my nerves lol. The only two people I seem to like so far are the sister and the best friend's wife. I guess we will see if that changes when I read more.  Friday April 23, 2021 Got a little side tracked watching tv. So I am behind on reading the guest list. I did get another 30 mins of reading done while I was waiting to get an MRI. So I am now on page 86.  Saturday April 24, 2021 30 mins until the readathon starts! I have two books to finished that I started earlier in the week. The Gu...

 Solid 4 star read. I am really loving this series and this author. Can't wait to read more from this author.  The writing was amazing and I love the main character. Thank you Netgalley for the EArc!!!!!

 Another book from this author that I couldn't put down. I read this in one season.  Another solid 4 stars.  Thank you Netgalley for the EArc.

 Here is my honest review for The Missing Husband by Alex Coombs: Very fast paced. Another book by this author that read in only a few hours. The plot was very interesting and had me wanting to know what happens. Could have been a little bit longer. Still really love the main character of this series. Thank you Netgalley for the EArc.

 Here is my honest review for The Stolen Child by Alex Coombs: I was surprised to find out that this has already been published years ago under a different name. I thought it was a new release book. That been said is was pretty fast paced. I finished it in about 4 hours.  The writing was very good. I really liked the main character too.  Solid 4 star read. Thank you Netgalley for the EArc.

 I was given an eARC of Song of the Sandman by J-F. Dubeau. I read this book Jan 13-14 2020.  Here is my honest review: Was very confused for most of the book. It wasn't until I was about halfway thru that I decided to look up this book on Goodreads and that was when I found out it was a sequel. Should have said that somewhere so that people would know. I did finish this book but because I did not read the first book I didnt really get the plot. That being said the writing was fantastic and I did love the premise. So overall I gave this book a 3.5 for the writing and premise alone.

 I was given an EARC for this book and this is my honest review: This book was very compelling and fast paced. The short chapters were full of intrigue. I ended up staying up late to read it. Ended up reading all of this book in one sitting trying to figure out who was in the house. I thought I knew what was going on but the twists really got me.  Solid 4 star read.
