This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead
4.0
Thank you to the publisher for a free Netgalley.
This one was quite the ride.This Book Will Bury Me is about Janeway, who loses her father unexpectedly. While grieving she finds a group of arm chair detectives. They work together to solve murders.
I enjoyed the writing of the characters in this one. Each character added something to the plot of the book. None of the characters were "too much" or written in an exaggerated fashion. Jane drove me bonkers at times. But her character was well fleshed out.
While we are given some red herrings, I did figure out one of the end pieces. Though that happened, I still did not feel like it took anything away from the book as the way Winstead laid it out was well done. But that very ending? Fabulous. I loved how this one wrapped up.
Definitely recommend.

Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson
3.5
Thank you to Mariner Books for a free Netgalley.
This was fun. It did not feel as solid as the last two full novels, but it was entertaining. The narration was still very much the same-- in a good way. I almost just think this character and story need full novels.
Honestly, I cannot even pinpoint why this didn't fully work for me while the previous two did. Still recommend. BUt if this is your first by this author, read the others first.

I love MC's newer books. So I am officially going through her backlist. I enjoyed this one.
The Family Experiment by John Marrs
4.5
Thank you to the publisher for a netgalley.
Honestly, John Marrs could be one of my most fav authors.
I enjoy his thriller/suspense books, but I think his speculative fictions are my favorite. In The Family Experiment, we are dumped back into the time when every move is controlled by the government. Except this time, we are watching people compete with a fake, AI child. Of course, each couple has their secrets. And Marrs releases them in the most careful way.
I could not put this one down once I started, and I highly recommend like I do 98% of his other books!
