Book Review – The Memory Watcher by Minka Kent

The Memory Watcher – A Psychological Thriller
Okay yeah… this one was pretty fantastic and fun, in a “psycho with secrets” way. LOL!! What I loved is that it kept me glued, and it kept me guessing the whole way through.

I started it last night as my bedtime read (but I fell asleep… ’cause I can’t seem to stay up late anymore. neutral *sigh*). But I digress. It was absorbing from the start, and I picked it right back up this morning and read it straight through. Almost 450 pages and I devoured this book in essentially, one day. THAT is how much I was into it. To give you an idea, I’d say it has a… “Bad Mommy” mixed with “You” and maybe even a bit of an “Evelyn, After” feel. The writing, the internal dialogue, the crazy reasoning… the reveals. They’re all completely different stories with exciting twists, but that FEEL, ya know? This is one of those. read more

By 3 Comments

Caitlina needs our help with a book that was featured in one of my “book release” lists, that she’s looking for! An autobiography? Or is fiction written like an autobiography? Either way, now I’m curious, too!

She asks:
