#WondrousWednesday @Eggs Thanks for tagging me!

2. My favorite genre is mystery/thriller. I think I like Peter May‘s books the best but Anne Cleeves always keeps me guessing who did it until the very end.

3. I like Erik Larson the best but Ron Chernow and Rebecca Skloot I enjoyed too.

Day 10 - #SurvivalSituation #TropesInAugust
#PlayDead #MoniqueFaisonRoss

The book was a real page-turner as the ending of each chapter gave me a need to read on and find out what was going to happen. I found Monique to be a very strong person who just wanted to protect her children. I would highly recommend this to those who are in an abusive relationship or those who love survival stories.

This book is crucial in building empathy in those who wish to support women who are in, getting out of, or already distanced from their abusive relationship. It isn‘t easy to read through all Monique endured but being more sensitive to the struggles around us often means we need to be a bit uncomfortable.

Very scary story of how verbal abuse escalated to a near-deadly attack. Monique left her husband but he continued to stalk and threaten her. He kidnaps, beats and rapes her. She survives and her strength is an inspiration. Page turner. Strong mother who wanted to protect her kids. NetGalley.
