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 ...

Book Review: A Line in the Sand (Turtle Beach, #2) by Teri Wilson

A Line in the Sand (Turtle Beach, #2) by Teri Wilson is the second book in the Turtle Beach book series. In this romantic comedy, Molly Prince and her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Ursula, work at the local aquarium. Molly swears she'll never date again, but when Max Miller, a marine biologist, comes to town, sparks fly in more than one way.

I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of A Line in the Sand (Turtle Beach, #2) by Teri Wilson from NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Even though I've read one other book by the author and enjoyed it, I was nervous if I'd like this newest book by Teri Wilson.

To say I liked A Line in the Sand would be an understatement . . . I loved this book and read it within a 24-hour window. It's such a fun beach read. Even though I thought I knew what would happen (and it did), it was an enjoyable book. So enjoyable, that I am going to read the first book in the series. Don't worry, you don't need to read the series in order.

Normally, I don't like books that have a dog as one of the main characters, but in this book, it just worked. I loved the main character of Molly Prince. At first, I disliked the male lead, Max Miller. However, he started to grow on me, especially after Molly's parents came for a visit. I don't really have any complaints.

If you're looking for a fast paced, entertaining beach read, then A Line in the Sand (Turtle Beach, #2) by Teri Wilson is the perfect book. I gave it five out of five stars and can't wait for the next installment in the series.
