Sister | 
pick5.8.22 "I did something terrible Grace. I hope you can forgive me..." Grace is haunted by her best friend's last words, and starts digging into Charlie's past. Someone claiming to be Charlie's sister steps forward, but something isn't right. Is it all in Grace's mind or is Grace in terrible danger?
I'll take a psy. thriller any day. #LFL find was interesting. Some good and frustrating twists. Left wanting more but can't put my finger on it ? 3/5
pan⭐️⭐️ I‘m jus going to say it. I did not like this book. It started off slow. It started to gain momentum so I thought it would get better. But then the reveals started coming and none of them made any sense. The whole thing left me with a knot in my stomach, giving me anxiety for such a horrible payoff. It just wasn‘t my type of story. This was my #bookspinbingo No. 12 pick and it gave me a BINGO
Gonna read this next by Louise Jensen #louisejensen #thesister
Wore the dog out so I read a few pages by the flowers while she rested for the return home.

so-soEnjoyed reading, but the storyline felt a little too far fetched. The main character perhaps a tad gullible. I thought I'd worked it out part way through. But, got it wrong!! It's obviously a first book, the story was a bit too stretched.
pickWeek 1 check-in! I stayed up way too late last night finishing this book, it got pretty intense at the end and I couldn‘t put it down! This puts me on track for my one book a week goal for #BFCR2. I could have worked a little harder to hit my fitness goal for the week, but overall I‘m happy. We went on a long hike today, which was beautiful! If you look closely at the picture of mud, you can see bear tracks.

Day 1 of the #bookfitnesschallenge is in the books! Ha! See what I did there?! But seriously...l‘ve been on the fence about getting a fitness tracker. After my long hot walk today, I decided to go for it. I miss being able to track my steps each day. A new Fitbit will definitely help keep me on track!

Creepy and I‘m enjoying it!
pickEven though I figured out the plot twist quickly, it was fun seeing how it played out. #TheSister #LouiseJensen #netgalley #MountTBR #WeekendReading📖☕ #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime📚📚
so-soPerhaps I'm jaded from mystery thrillers, or perhaps the subtitle of this book set the bar too high: "A psychological thriller with a brilliant twist you won't see coming".
Grace is coping with the death of her best friend, Charlie, & distancing herself from her boyfriend, Dan, as she takes up drinking at home & abusing sleeping pills. Charlie's mother, blames Grace for her daughter's sudden death but is covering up a years old secret.
pickTotally needed something a little lifetime style that I knew would have a decent ending. I liked it! I got pulled in so many different directions and for the life of me, I could not get what was going on till the ending.
pickIt didn‘t take me long at all to read this book. A good mix of characters and a well thought out plot. Highly recommended and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Almost forgot to post my #TBRList for this month...
Basically the books I didn‘t get to read from my #DecemberTBR minus the festive reads 📚
pickEen zeer verrassend debuut!

pickGoede thriller! Spannend en er zit veel inhoud in! Ik had nooit het gevoel dat ik een thriller aan het lezen was, maar dat stoorde hier niet! Ik gaf dit boek: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finally getting to this one. Was on my #TBR from ages !
Gotcha. New audiobook, chosen spontaneously whilst waiting for my train. Ticks all the boxes 👍🏻
Thus main character is driving me batty. She's absolutely stupid... Not to mention that this book is feeling more and more like a Lifetime movie.... Which isn't necessarily a good thing.
pickThis is a good thriller for those into the genre. I have to say all of the characters in this book pissed me off with the exception of Grace's grandparents and Mrs. Jones the elderly neighbor. There was definitely a twist that I didn't see coming but it didn't knock my socks off. All in all, It is a great debut novel.
My vote for Debut Author. #GoodreadsChoice
pickI really enjoyed this one and couldn't put it down.
so-soI did something terrible Grace. Please forgive me. ##what could this mean? Turns out, a lot. This novel is packed with twists, turns, and suspense on every page. And I loved it. But as with a lot of books, when I finished it I was infatuated with it but its gleam has been filled with time. Still a great book worth reading.
so-soSo looking pass the fact that I love a good Single White Female vibe, I did struggle with the beginning of this book. By the end though I liked it enough to recommend it to fellow book lovers who like this vibe as well. It's her debut novel so I think a solid first shot. I'd read her next one! For more see my blog! A Cautionary Tale…and of course, coffee.

This is me after staying up way too late reading The Sister last night. I'm a little over halfway and, while obviously I'm liking it enough to forego sleep, I also wanted to reach in and shake the protagonist. I haven't wanted to shake some sense into a character since Mae in Dave Eggers' The Circle! Fingers crossed I like the ending more than The Circle's! Also if you don't follow The Awkward Yeti on FB or Twitter, your life is incomplete 😁🤓😆
so-soI didn't think the twist was all that shocking. Also the MC was frustratingly naive, and that naïveté was used to move the plot along. I give it a solid rating of: Meh.

Accidentally got 4 more books last night . I'm an addict!!!
pickI am a sucker for a thriller and this one kept the pages turning. Good character development and lots of twists and turns. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Saturday by the pool ☀️📖
pickI'm finding it difficult to say why I liked this book so much. The writing is solid but unexceptional; the storyline is interesting but not particularly unique. Somehow though, the author has created an absolutely compulsive page-turner and I was utterly hooked. Loved it!
pickIt's really hard to believe that this was Louise Jensen's debut novel. It's a very well-written psychological thriller. It was a page turner with lots of twists and turns that I never figured out until they hit me in the face. The story is about a young woman (Grace) who suddenly loses her best friend (Charlie). It could have been a typical story on loss but Jensen takes us on a wild ride as we discover the facts behind what really happened.
This book doesn't come out until July 7th. I was fortunate to get an ARC from netgalley.com. I'm about halfway through and really enjoying it. If you like thrillers you should put this one on your list.
pick"This debut novel is a thriller in the truest sense. It plays tricks with your mind and leaves you guessing all the way while at the same time making it seem as if you‘ve figured it out. And of course there‘s a fantastic twist that you‘ll never see coming!" Reviewed by Thalia https://goo.gl/av1UQd
panI expected to love this one--the premise is great and I love a thriller. Plus, there's a ton of stellar reviews on Goodreads. I'm in the minority, but I found so much of this wildly implausible, it just didn't work. 2 stars.Thank you to Netgalley & Bookouture for a copy in exchange for an honest rvw
pickSlow building psychological thriller with twists and turns. Constantly had me guessing and second guessing. Made me look over my own shoulder a few times to ensure I wasn't being followed. More on www.novelgossip.com
This book has potential so far! Keeping me guessing, constantly. Very curious to see how it all ends.
