The Worst(?) Husband

Another suspense-thriller adventure with an exuberant trusting woman and overly obsessed man.

Nina's lost her husband, Glen, due to a tragic accident and is left to fend for herself, two teenage children,

and family companion, Daisy. A man, Simon, wanders into their lives one day shortly after the tragic

accident that swept Nina's husband clear and far from their lives...

Or did it?

Simon seems to be the perfect man for Nina. Understanding, romantic, supportive, intelligent--everything

she would've wanted in another companion after Glen, even someone remotely dedicated to her and

her alone. Secrets were revealed at delicate moments throughout the novel insuring readers were

made aware the marriage was not all cookie-cutter before Glen's appearance. Glan had things to hide,

but so did Nina. Thoughts harborded, feelings of resentment apparent, and general questionings

of what might've happened between her and Glen before he even disappeared.

Children always seem to know when something, or someone, is not what it/they appear to be.

Nina's daughter Maggie is beyond suspicious of Simon from the very beginning, and for good reason.

Simon is the epitome of a natural born serial killer, abuser, and overall obsessive compulsive individual.

Everything Nina didn't need after her husband's disappearance. Lo' and behold, however,

it was Simon's reckoning in the first place that caused Glan to disappear.

Hints dropped throughout the novel give readers a look into just how twisted and beautifully this novel

was written. I'd highly recommend this novel to anyone who's rendered a fan of suspense, thriller,

or overall drama-filled plotlines and twists.

Spirits and Swords!

Onyx and Ivory , by Mindee Arnett, was a complete spur of the moment buy at the bookstore and I am forever patting myself on the back because this YA fantasy novel is a hit! The cover caught my attention on the shelf, but the synopsis-- a "traitor's" daughter at a point of finding out secrets and rekindling love with an unsuspecting partner? Count me in! Following Kate's story was simple and riveting from the get-co. Magic influenced Kate from birth and she spends her adolescence hiding it -- a final rule and request from her father before he was executed by the crown. The crown being Kate's supposed love -- Price Corwin. Corwin undergoes his own growing pains and turmoil as he's set up against his older brother to, literally , contend for the future of the crown! Between personal discovery and growth both individuals deal with, magic has a stronghold influence on the storyline, primarily between those who...

Everyone's Relatable

Fredrik Backman's Anxious People is a 2019 publication, translated into English in 2021. This novel was nothing I had expected it to be based on the synopsis of a desperate individual who turned to robbing a bank in order to overcome current life circumstances. The novel follows a number of characters and their current livelihoods; individuals "held up" as hostages in the middle of an apartment showing which took place before the New Year holiday. I was impressed with the attention to detail Backman was able to portray, not necessarily in backdrops of locations but between the different characters' thoughts/lifestyles throughout the piece. What I expected of an individual in the beginning was not relatable to what was uncovered/divulged to the reader towards the middle/end of the novel. This novel did follow the actions of a woman (not identified gender-wise until late into the novel) who chose to rob a bank in order to retrieve financial means t...
