Got me out of my rut

Revisado: 10-31-24

I went in blind. Was told it was one that will hook you and I figured I would give it a try. So happy I did, I don’t really give 5 stars out often but this was amazing. Very dark and gripping.

Had the chance to be good… but no.

Found this book just boring. It dragged on and you’re just continuing along to find out what happened and still I am here wishing it could have been better. It wanted to be so much more than it was. It’s not a who done it, or a “What’s the big secret?!” Plot twist. It was just like, “Oh, ok.”

Meh.. you can skip this one

Revisado: 01-28-21

I got this book on sale, after reading it I understand why.

You have this mystery of what happened to the main character. Why her marriage is failing, why her friends question her stability, why her son won’t talk to her. Then you are introduced to who is this other women with the same name and what’s going on with her. It’s just mundane. 3/4 of the book is her obsessing over the other woman. To the point I didn’t even care about who she was. I will say the ending wasn’t completely predictable.

The woman reading the story didn’t have the most enjoyable voice, Then when she’d read in the husband’s voice I wanted to stop listening completely.

Not the worst, but if you feel the need to hear the story, get the physical print.

Get over it, this book was phenomenal.

“Wah wah wah. It was graphic.” Sorry, Fifty Shades of Grey can be found in the Romance section since crime related torture is harder to hear than S&M. I specifically read it because of people crying about it being gruesome. Bring. It. On.

This book held my attention. While I thought I had it figured out, which in a way I did, I STILL found myself surprised in many ways. Being someone who went to school for criminology, I get that I may not be as sensitive as those who rated this poorly. While I can’t say this book is rainbows and butterflies, I can say I liked it. This story is raw, uncomfortable and it could be real which is why I chose to listen. Leave the sugar coat for someone who needs their world blinders. This is not meant to be a story to read to your kids for bedtime. It is meant to open your eyes to a dark side.

The characters may not be 100% relatable but you don’t hate them or could maybe see something in them comparable to someone you already know. You feel bad, uneasy, curious and randomly get a laugh at the more “human” parts.

It’s a story of survival. If you focus on the crime itself than you are missing the story. The story of these sisters starts with their older sister going missing which ruined their family. It led them both down different roads where their lives unravel in different ways but still are intertwined enough to bring them back. A similar tragedy in their town brings them together where the missing piece to their story, that would have kept their lives bound as they grew up, is now becoming a breadcrumb trail to what really happened to their sister.


Trigger warning, sure. Better description, maybe. In the end, we all read the reviews before we purchase and you shouldn’t let those who still can’t walk across the street without someone holding their hand prevent you from reading something worth every chapter.

Easy Read For a Hockey Fan

Revisado: 02-26-20

Steve’s book is entertaining to hear. He talks about his path through the professional hockey community and other impacts of his life. He talks of wins and defeats, the defeats were primarily the Leafs.
