Solitary Sinners by Elle Thorpe (Review #221)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE SAINT VIEW PRISON SERIES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 2. CHECK OUT LOCKED UP LIARS FOR THE REVIEW OF BOOK 1!

“In the middle of a prison riot, the psychopath who murdered my sister holds me hostage. Soulless eyes black, bloodied knife in his hand, my name a whispered threat on his lips. My only hope is the three men fighting for my heart…and their lives.

Separated in the chaos, flames surround Rowe, the growly prison guard who acts like he hates me but always has my back. Liam, my lawyer on the outside. I've only just realized the depth of my feelings for the boy I once despised in high school. I dragged him into all of this and now I need his help more than ever. And cornered by violent criminals is Heath, the prisoner I've fallen for more with every day he's been incarcerated. I know he's innocent and I'm here to prove it, but I won't get the chance if he doesn't make it through the riot with his life. 

I came here for one thing but with new prisoners comes new threats. As sins are exposed and secrets unravel, one thing becomes apparent. The killer may not be as obvious as the man with his fingers wrapped around my
throat.”

Review:
Oh my god, talk about a cliffhanger! A prison riot??? How exciting. The stakes and tension are high but don’t worry, our MC is well looked after *wink wink.*

So, the first book I think we focused a lot on Liam, not that he doesn’t deserve it because I enjoyed him immensely. But I think in this one, we delve deeper into Rowe, and more importantly, we start to explore the budding romance between not just Rowe and Mae, but also Rowe and HEATH!!!! How unexpected and fun. 

And listen, I think the whole baseball game scene was by far my favorite, that will go into my own personal hall of fame if you ask me. Overall, this book stepped up on the last one; more smut and surprisingly more plot too. Along with Liam and Mae, I was interested to know who killed her sister and why. 

Some of the suspects though were a bit weird to me and not very well thought out, but I can give it a pass, given that really the murder mystery is more of a side quest here. Also, because I cannot deal with another cliffhanger, I’m already reading the third book.

Let me know your own thoughts and feels down below in the comments and I’ll see you real soon!

The Harpy by Megan Hunter (Review #245)

“Lucy Lives with her husband, Jake and their two boys. Her life is devoted to her children, her days, mapped out by their finally tune routine. Until a man calls one afternoon with a shattering message. His wife has been having an affair with Lucy’s husband. He thought she should know. Lucy is distraught. She decides to stay with Jake, if only for their children sake, but in order to even the score, they agreed that she will hurt him three times. Jake Will not know when the hurt is coming, or what form it will take. And so begins a delicate game of crime and punishment, from which there is no return…” Review: “Deeply unsettling” author Daisy Johnson said of this book, and honestly I think that’s the perfect description. For me though this wasn’t necessarily horror, and fantasy is a stretch at best, but let’s backtrack a bit. This story was about grief. Lucy is grieving and trying to heal from a monumental wound. She by no means is a pillar of a healthy psyche, but even in her worst mom...

Hi. I'm Samantha and I hope you enjoy my first Book Review and the many more reviews to come. Thank You for stopping by! Synopsis: "Sixteen-year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of the car while her stepmom fills her prescription. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, someone is stealing the car - with her inside! Griffin hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne; all he planned to do was take the car.

She's not only sick - she's BLIND!" Review: This book was a lot better than I expected. It showed both points of view of the two main characters and the villain comes from an unexpected direction. I really loved stepping into the eyes of a blind person. Going through the struggles Cheyenne had to go through and all under extreme circumstance...
