The Whisper Man by Alex North

I love the cover of this book!!! I  typically have moved away from the murder mystery Genre, but not completely. This is a convoluted serial killer in a small town whodunnit. Tom Kennedy loses his wife and decides to move himself & his son to a home in the town of featherbank. Soon after their arrival in the new town, a boy disappears in a manner that is strikingly similar to some murders that took place two decades ago. It seems Tom’s son Jake May have insight into the case and might be in danger. Can the investigators unwind the story in time to prevent more deaths?! Hurry & read this one, because another book by the author is out This year.

It’s an interesting look into the challenges of surrogacy and I fel...

Thank you to #Netgalley for the voice galley of this forthcoming young adult romance #Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry” in exchange for an honest review.  This is an excellent, realistic debut from Joya Goffney. I certainly hope we have more stories from her in the future. The romance & high school drama in the book are spot-on and the book has appeal for adult readers as well. There are educational moments regarding cultural diversity which is very important. Books such as these help people to understand how they can be more thoughtful in their speech and their gestures. So in that regard, I would compare & highly recommend this book for those who enjoyed Angie Thomas’s debut, “The Hate U Give” or “Such A Fun Age,” A debut from Kiley Reid.   The storyline revolves around Quinn, a high school senior who keeps a journal of lists. Many, many private lists, such as “lies people believe about me” or “boys I’d like to kiss.”  The journal is misplaced and falls into the hands...
