Book Review: Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers

Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers opens with four high school friends meeting up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts for a reunion of sorts. When one of them doesn't show up, and no one can get a hold of her, the other friends are desperate to find out what happened. NetGalley, thank you for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this novel. I requested a copy of this book based on their synopsis and the author. When my request was approved, I was thrilled. The story started off well and kept me wanting to know more. Early on, I thought I had everything figured out, but much to my surprise, there was a plot twist I didn't count on.  I won't say more as to not spoil it for others. It's an easy read and perfect to take on vacation. Although I enjoyed Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers a lot, I wish there was more action in the first half of the book. The second half was action packed, and I found myself rushing to finish the story to see if my gut instinct was correct. As for the charact...

Book Review: The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden

NetGalley ARC Book Review of The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden
The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden opens with surgeon Nora Davis having an old fashioned by herself at the local bar when she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend, who just happens to be the bartender.  But soon after, Nora's patients are turning up dead, and it appears to be a copycat killing.  Who knows her secret?

A huge thank you goes out to NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden.  McFadden had become one of my favorite authors, so when my request to read this book was approved, I was absolutely ecstatic.  I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

Wow!  This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't wait to figure out who was the copycat killer.  I had it narrowed down to two different people, and it ended up not being either of the people I thought it might be.  When the killer was revealed, I was absolutely shocked!  The Running Bibliophile's Book Review of The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden

The main character, Nora Davis, was a bit hard to like, even though I know she was messed up from her childhood.  I liked her well enough, but one of my favorite characters ended up being the stray, black cat.  I was worried that the cat would be killed, and I am so glad that it survived.  I am a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to cats, so any kind of animal cruelty in books (and movies) really upsets me.

I absolutely loved The Locked Door despite it reminding me a bit of Rachel Caine's Stillhouse Lake.  There really isn't anything I can complain about in this book.  Five out of five stars is what I gave The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden.
