Book Review: The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker

The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker  was published on March 17, 2025. It opens with Detective Declan Shaw at a closed subway station trying to work up the nerve to commit suicide when he receives a call from his partner about a break in and homicide at the home of a true crime author. Shaw makes his way to the crime scene to work the case, and in a turn of events, Declan comes under scrutiny in another case loosely connected to this new case. I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of The Writer  from NetGalley and Little , Brown, and Company for free in exchange for my honest review. I'm appreciative that my request for this book was approved. With this story opening with the main character trying to commit suicide, I almost didn't go any further with the book. However, I am glad I stuck with it as it took me on a fantastic ride and had my emotions all over the place. There were so many twists and turns that just when I thought I had it all figured out, there was ...

Product Review: Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine

When I heard that I would be receiving a VoxBox from Influenster.com, I was excited to be testing another product. I recently received my product . . . Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, which I received for free in exchange for my honest review of the product. I never really know if I'm going to receive a sample size or a full size product, but in this case, I received a sample size.

Normally, I wear Giorgio Women by Giorgio Beverly Hills Perfume for Women, so I was excited to try out a new perfume to see if I might have an alternate scent to wear and because I do love the scent of roses and tangerine. In testing Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, there were things that I liked and things I didn't like.

Let's begin with the pluses. It's a very light scent that actually complemented me well. Usually when I try out new scents, I never get any complements on it, but with Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, I received positive reactions. My mom liked how it smelled so much that she wanted to try it out.

The negatives for me are that when I first sprayed Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine on me, it was very strong smelling. With that being said, it did settle down a lot and ended up being very subtle, but it took about 30 minutes for it to do that. The other down side was that whenever I sprayed the perfume, it gave me a small headache, which thankfully went away after a brief amount of time. I was expecting to smell hints of the tangerine in Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, but all I smelled was the rose, which was a little disappointing because I wanted at least a subtle hint of citrus.

All in all, I was very pleased with Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, and I give it four out of five stars. I definitely would recommend this product to anyone who likes the scent of rose but not to those who are expecting a citrus scent because you'd likely be disappointed.
