As time runs out and secrets slowly come to light, Avery would do anything to save the ones she loves. But most importantly, she learns to save herself. Speak her truth. Seek the support she needs. Find hope again in the tomorrows she has left.
My Review:
What would you do if you knew the world is ending?
As Avery was about to kill herself in the lake, she got an alert that an asteroid headed for earth. She works up the courage to go home and face her fears before the world ends.
If Tommorrow Doesn’t Come is a heartbreaking book. A girl hiding her depression and that she gay from family and friends. She really loves her best friend but is afraid to accept who she is. While Avery is struggling, the world is ending in a couple of days. Talk about pressures before the world ends. Will Avery ever find closure with her family and the girl she loves before it to late?
I really liked this book. It was very tense, and hopefully that maybe the world won’t end. I had to read it in the day to see how it ends for everyone. The cover is also breathtaking. I’m glad I discovered this book. I was very hooked on the first couple of pages. I do hope more people discover this read also. It recently came out, so check out local libraries and bookstore.
Happy Reading!!!

Four Found Dead was such a tense book. You don’t know who will live or die. The storyline was predictable, so I ended up liking it. I have been Natalie D Richard’s books before. I gonna say they are fun and suspenseful. So you might want to check out her reads. I love the cover to this so much. You see glass breaking and some blood on it. If you are looking for a quick thriller, then this book will be perfect for you. Check out Four Found Dead when you get a chance.

Summary:
A whodunit doused in Hollywood lore.
No one at Hollywood High knows who’s behind We’ll Never Tell—a viral YouTube channel where the anonymous creators trespass behind the scenes of LA’s most intriguing locales. The team includes CASEY, quiet researcher and trivia champ; JACOB, voice narrator and video editor, who is secretly dating EDDIE, aspiring filmmaker; and ZOE, coder and breaking-and-entering extraordinaire.
Now senior year is winding down, and with their lives heading in different directions, the YouTubers vow to go out with a bang. Their last episode will be filmed at the infamous Valentini “murder house,” which has been left abandoned, bloodstained, and untouched since a shocking murder/suicide in 1972. When the teens break in, they capture epic footage. But someone trips an alarm, and it’s a mad dash to get out before the police arrive—at which point they realize only three of them escaped instead of four. Jacob is still inside, slain and bleeding out. Is his attack connected to the historic murder, or is one of their crew responsible?
A week of suspicions and cover-ups unfolds as Casey and her remaining friends try to stay alive long enough to solve murder mysteries past and present. If they do, their friendship may not survive. If they don’t, the house will claim more victims.
My Review:

Casey and Zoe are ready to graduate soon. So they are filming their last video for We’ll Never Tell in a murder house. With their other friends, they will discover the house is not what it seems. When one of them get stabbed, everyone becomes a suspect.
We’ll Never Tell was my first time reading Wendy Heard books. It won’t be my last time reading this aurthor work. I was very engrossed in the storyline and characters. Even the cover was eye-catching. The book was suspenseful at times and hard to put down. I do love the twist with this book. Thanks to the publisher for the book to review. This recently came out, so check your local bookstore.

Summary:
The next gut-punching, compulsively readable Kate McLaughlin novel, about a girl finding strength in not being alone.
When eighteen-year-old Dylan wakes up, she’s in an apartment she doesn’t recognize. The other people there seem to know her, but she doesn’t know them – not even the pretty, chiseled boy who tells her his name is Connor. A voice inside her head keeps saying that everything is okay, but Dylan can’t help but freak out. Especially when she borrows Connor’s phone to call home and realizes she’s been missing for three days.
Dylan has lost time before, but never like this.
Soon after, Dylan is diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and must grapple not only with the many people currently crammed inside her head, but that a secret from her past so terrible she’s blocked it out has put them there. Her only distraction is a budding new relationship with Connor. But as she gets closer to finding out the truth, Dylan wonders: will it heal her or fracture her further?
My Review:
Pieces of Me was such an emotional book. Which I do love so much. The storyline deals with mental health issues. Also, there are some trigger warnings when diving into this read. I always be a sucker for mental health reads because I can relate a bit to the characters and storyline.
You get to dive into Dylan head on what it to have Dissociative Identity Disorder. In the beginning, she has no idea what she has. Dylan always had suffered blackouts and mood swings. Then, one day, she discovered she lost track of time and been gone for three days. She ends up at a nice caring stranger home and doesn’t remember why. Dylan is determined to find answers to this before it gets worse.
What I like is how well written and detailed this book was. Also, see how her family and friends react to what has been happening to her. Not only is she confused, but her family doesn’t understand either. It is a very heartfelt book and acceptance to someone struggling with mental health. So please check out Pieces of Me when you can.
An ambitious and juicy whodunit doused in Hollywood lore, perfect for readers of sexy summer thrillers like The Twin by Natasha Preston and The Agathas by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson.

No one survived the last battle unscathed. Flint is angry at the world, Jaxon is turning into something I don’t recognize, and Hudson has put up a wall I’m not sure I’ll ever break through.
Now war is coming, and we’re not ready. We’re going to need an army to have any hope of winning. But first, there are questions about my ancestors that need answers. Answers that might just reveal who the real monster is among us.
And that’s saying something in a world filled with bloodthirsty vampires, immortal gargoyles, and an ancient battle between two gods.
There’s no guarantee that anyone will be left standing when the dust settles, but if we want to save this world, I have no choice. I’ll have to embrace every part of me…even the parts I fear the most.
Summary:
A juicy mystery of jealousy, love, and betrayal set on a Semester at Sea-inspired cruise ship, with a diverse cast of delightfully suspicious characters who’ll leave you guessing with every jaw-dropping twist.
After being jilted by her ex-boyfriend and best friend, Jade couldn’t be more ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime—11 countries in 4 months, all from the luxurious Campus on Board ship—and to wedge an entire globe between her and the people who broke her heart.
But when Jade discovers the backstabbing couple are also setting sail, her obsession with them grows and festers, leading to a shocking murder. And as their friends begin to drop like flies, Jade and her new crush must race to clear her name and find the killer they’re trapped at sea with….before anyone else winds up in body bags.
My Review:
Are you ready to go on a cruise, even if your life might be on the line?
Jade is excited to be going overseas. She is ready to forget her ex friend and boyfriend. The shocking twist they are on the same cruise ship. Jade spends the whole trip stalking them. Then her ex friend disappeared, and there was blood all over her cabin. Suddenly, more people keep ending up dying. Had Jade gone mad and started killing? She has until the boat docks to get answers.
Lying in the Deep was so crazy fun. I have been enjoying Diana Urban thriller reads since her debut, All Your Twisted Secrets. Lying in the Deep was full of blood and twists. Also, I love the bloody hand print on the cover. I was lucky to get this book to review. Jade character comes as obsessed instead of trying to enjoy her trip. The storyline was tense when bodies kept popping up. Everyone seems to be guilty. Lying in the Deep came out today, so make sure you check it.
Are you ready to set sail??
Happy Reading!!!
