No Lie Lasts Forever

This was a Amazon First Reads book. The first one in along time that I read. Pretty interesting story I thought.

Besides it sometimes being a bit dragging and chapters were long I kept in mind this is not true events. Although never reading Zodiac I like how Flynn drew out the antagonist  in a way that is unusual thing to do. I'm surprised that how she went about finding out these things that the antagonist had her going through hoops to clear his name on one of the killings. She had her dad and Tamica, co worker help her out

I like how Flynn got along with her husband Max. Even though he was a bit of a cop all the time and not talking with her as a mother, friend, or regular person other than a journalist.

Maybe I was the only that got they reference she put out there every now and then.

Wyatt good character Max and Flynn's son. What can a boy do? Just love how much his family wants to protect him

I am glad that I kept reading story. Than I wouldn't get to know how Harry's mind would go. And how Flynn went about finding out what was going on. Max and Wyatt how they did love Flynn. And how much like Flynn and her dad really are. The day to day work if by the book or not when Flynn was suspended, and the work of a cop, and what goes into getting facts and a story was interesting as long as you remember its fiction

Other than that good story

I give  No Lie Lasts Forever 4 

Will have highlights on goodreads

 

The Wife Stalker

I have read a couple books of these authors. And The Wife Stalker does not disappoint. When I found out that The Wife Stalker was on Lifetime, I thought cool I have this book and am going to read it.

In the beginning it does read like a Lifetime movie. I was reading along than bam! something happened and it wasn't right. Changed the story a bit. The end, not what I was expecting. A twist that I did not see. Joanne,  Piper,  Leo and kids. Boy they are some characters alright. Reading about how Joanne was the glue that held the family together? Piper is a home wrecker? 

And why is Leo so depressed? It all comes to light in the middle and definitely at the end. Or is everything alright? Is Piper behaving?

I'll put the highlights on Goodreads

I give The Wife Stalker 4

 

 

Happiness Falls

 

Never heard of this author before. I’m glad that I got the chance too. This story was deep.

 How a family journeyed on this path to find their father and husband after he was missing from taking his son to the park. One girl, two boys, and one who has Angelman Syndrome. What happened to dad? Mom, Mia, and John find out about themselves, especially through their dad. Dad was the believer that there is more to Eugene than what people are saying about autistic children/adults. Did he get hurt for it? Only Eugene knows and he has a hard time communicating, or that’s what his family thought.

Dad and mom both are smart and have their own careers. Doing their best for their children. Mom backing Eugene up when people thought he was thought  did the wrong thing.

 Lot was going on.We see how the Asian culture has their traditions. How the family helps Eugene out with what he and dad were doing. Eugene hears a story from his brother and sister. The family finding out dad was working with him with another person. Surprise found out he was communicating in a way some say it doesn’t work. Well it worked enough for Eugene to tell of what happened to his dad. Was it just a story that he mimicked from his siblings or did it happen?

What ever Eugene’s family moves on and Eugene is saved from being put somewhere for the people that others do not understand

It was a good story. A bit long at times but story kept an interest .

I give Happiness Falls 4

Looking forward to reading Miracle Creek.I belive it’s the start of the characters Mia and John

Eleven On Top

The continuation of reading about the adventures of Stephanie Plum I can say Eleven On Top is pretty good besides Stephanie's 1st book.

I thought this book was funny. She still does her crazy things although she is trying to be good and quit the bounty hunter job. Though crazy bad things follow her. I'm liking that she is still with Morelli and Bob. I didn't think that I would see Morelli loving Stephanie and it seems like a commitment there. On the other hand Stephanie finds it hard.

Job to job she goes. And honestly I think most of the time Lula is the problem of getting Stephanie in trouble. Needless to say Lula is one of my least favorite characters. And Stephanie bumbling through her life makes the books good. Even with her obsession with sugar.

I'm glad to see that she took a job with Ranger. I think she excels at that. And I hope to read that she stays with Rangerman.

Intriguing that someone from her past is out to get her. And Stephanie's way, she finds out the truth. With Ranger to the rescue Stephanie at the end does a valent hero thing and saves the day. With Bob!

Just an afterthought!

I remember One for the Money came out on the big screen. I thought Morelli and Ranger was not a good fit. Both of them weren't what the characters were on paper. Even who played Stephanie was questionable.

I give Eleven On Top 5

Looking forward to continue reading about Stephanie Plum

 

 

The Housemaid

After reading a short story from Frieda McFadden I knew I wanted to read more. And it was not a disappointment.

At first I thought this was Handmaid Tale meets Devious Maids. For sure it gave off to me those kind of vibes. I wasn't wrong.

When Nina hires Millie as a housekeeper and brought her up to the room she was going to stay at, I thought wow like Handmaid Tale. And as the story moves on, Millie likes the room that she is in, I didn't realize that Millie was staying in a cramped place to start because of her checkerd past. What gave me the feeling that this was no ordinary mystery is when Millie shut the door and saw scratch marks on the door. Oh my! What is Millie getting herself into?

Every which way Nina tries her best to keep Millie and her husband, Andrew away from each other. As hard as nails Nina was, Millie just couldn't help herself. And there Devious Maids comes in at.

What I couldn't figure was why Nina's daughter, Cecilia was weird. I can understand her not liking Millie the new housemaid, but just the things she would do was strange.

Millie can't get rid of the feeling she should get out. Even the landscaper was trying to help. 

Maid and husband relationship, Nina, husband, and child relationship, you would think the wife is crazy. Putting up with everything that Nina is putting out. And here is the twist. A ride to hold on with your life. It gets crazy after that.

Millie's past comes in handy for her to survive. Andrew, and Nina what is Millie to do and instinct takes over.

After someone gets hurt (dead) an apology goes out to Millie.

Millie becomes Housemaid for hire. Thanks to her employer.

I give The Housemaid 5

A very good book. Even though I thought it was going on a path and then a twist. Can't wait to read more from Frieda McFadden
