Following my heart, one book at a time...
Bad Mommy
Yeah… I think I’m gonna 5-star it, ’cause I really loved it. It was EXACTLY what I was in the mood to read, it sucked me in, didn’t let me go and then spit me out in PURE Tarryn Fisher glory. This was slightly dark, slightly creepy, over-the-top… and yet totally believable. And I found that ending quite clever… and possibly telling. 
Or not.
My lips are sealed on that aspect. Although oh BOY I wanna talk about it!!! LOL!!! Especially with the author.
Reader question day, and I’ve got a few for us that we can play with!! Regina just sent this one over. Since she’s actually read it, and wants to RE-READ it (but ca’t remember the title or author) she provides a lot of detail, so beware… I tried to spread it out with spoiler alerts between. Maybe the first paragraph will spark your memory from the start! 😀
She says:
“Hi,
I’m hoping you might have read this book and remember the title better than me (my Nook had a tragic accident involving 2 bengals, a dog and a catwheel, nook’s under warranty, but it didn’t back up my lists.) I think I read it between 2012-2014, could go either way by a year, and I’ve wanted to reread it. It was a New adult, college, romance…Very obviously there will be spoilers below, in hopes that you recognize the book. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
The House
You know how some people get too attached to their home? Well… what happens when a house gets too attached to its people? This.
<— Good stuff but a bit different from what I was anticipating. Well… the “base” of it, that is. A few of us lightly skimmed the blurb (we were hoping to go in blind) and envisioned a young married couple setting up in their new house. Would it be haunted? Or maybe a ghost love story? Ohhhhh yesssss!! We were in no matter what!! And we were highly enticed by the fear-factor warning. But… it ended up being… completely different from expected… at first.
<— Creepy psych-stalker “love story” alert! I’ve read both book #1 and #2 and loved ’em, and I can’t wait for more!!!!
Now… to be fair, I don’t think this series has an “official title” yet. 😉 I’m going with the name of book #1 (YOU), but it could very well be “The Creepy-Stalker-Guy” series. LOL!!
Michelle: This one was fantastically creepy and was a great read
marina: Just finished You by Caroline Kepnes and LOVED IT!!! Wow, how did I just finally read this book?!?!?!?!? It has been on my TBR for AGES, since your review Maryse in 2014?
You: A Novel
This dark-read was obviously up my “dark alley” in soooooo many ways, that I just couldn’t resist reading it upon it’s release. Exploring a subject matter that titillates my reading-thrill needs, and so well written (you’ll see that right from the sample), with a blurb that just blew my mind. It had to be next!
…she’s perfect for him, and soon she can’t resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom made for her. But there’s more to Joe than Beck realizes, and much more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect façade. Their mutual obsession quickly spirals into a whirlwind of deadly consequences . . .
