Welcome to Litsy!

Couldn‘t get through this ⭐️⭐️2/5

Benny has been working so hard today to disrupt my reading. He says "just one more cuddle" ?

Low pick for me. The only reason why I gave it a pick is because I read it in less than 24 hours. A young pregnant girl gets trapped in the snow after crashing her car and is rescued by a big burly scary man. She is taken to his house where she meets his wife and thinks everything should be ok…until it‘s not! Not my favorite book by Mcfadden, but still easily readable and always has a good twist at the end.

This book follows Detective Ben Wade as he works two cases. The death of a migrant teen, and a serial killer who is terrorizing the local community. This is less a police procedural and more an in depth look into Ben‘s mind as he wrestles with personal demons brought on by one of the cases.

Normally, I wouldn't pick a book with these colors on the cover, but it's for one of the reading groups here on Litsy. Also, normally, I wouldn't read anything someone considers cozy. Not because I have a problem with them, but they don't usually seem to end up in my TBR. Glad I read this one. I recommend it if you need a light read with what are actually heavy themes. And, especially so if you work or have a child in elementary school.😄

Subbing in the school library today. Bittersweet because this is the library where I‘d hoped to work. They still haven‘t hired a permanent person. Makes me feel kind of put out. They didn‘t even interview me.

As a new nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan is taught three crucial rules:

Treat all prisoners with respect.

Never reveal any personal information.

Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.

But nobody knows that Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary's most notorious and dangerous inmates

I flew through this story and was genuinely moved by it. Although many readers share my positive reaction, I have noticed that there are quite a few who disliked it. I saw common complaints about disliking the MC, her repetitiveness, and believability issues. I'll admit the MC's thoughts were repetitive, and some story elements strained credibility, but neither bothered me much—I was too invested in the story for it to diminish my enjoyment.
