Make Up Reading

 5 out of 5 stars Thanks to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review. When Cheyenne Ashby returns to the small Appalachian town her family has lived in for generations she finds that she can't escape her past and the secrets it holds so well. Cheyenne doesn't want to return to her hometown that she left in such a hurry or the Mother she fled from but she has no choice when her Father figure calls her and tells her she is needed. Three missing children, folk lore, old friends and lost love all weave into a captivating and dark tale. Angie Hickman was an absolutely wonderful narrator.

 4.5 out of 5 stars I love the books that have podcast segments so this was right up my alley. I have read the first book in this series and I really enjoyed this so I was glad to read this. As I said I enjoyed Rachel Krall in Night Swim and this was just as good as that. I enjoyed learning more about Rachel and the influencer story was very engaging.  I also enjoyed seeing Rachel involved in the beginning of a relationship with someone that was very well suited for her. The narration by Andre Santana, January Lavoy and Samantha Dez was fantastic.

 4.5 out of 5 stars  Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to read this. I read The Whisper Network a few years ago and I really liked it so I was excited to be able to read this....and I loved it! It is a well known fact that kids are creepy, especially little ones (I am not the only one, right? Right?) and this really takes the that to the next level. What would you do if you kid starts craving blood? The answer it seems is to feed it yours. From there the story really starts picking up steam. A teacher at the preschool is found dead. Could it be the kids or a parent? I loved the writing in this and the story. If you like suburban thrillers/mysteries this will be right up your alley.  I really enjoyed Chandler Baker and January Lavoy,

 5 out of 5 stars  Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to read an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review I loved this so much. I actually think I may love this book a little bit more than Legends and Lattes because of the epilogue which was amazing.  Viv ends up getting hurt during a job so she needs rest and relaxation so she ends up staying in a cozy, little seaside town.  There she discovers a lovely book store owned by a sweet Ratkin with a filthy mouth named Fern, a lovely dwarf baker and a battle ready gnome. The town of Murk is super cute and Viv falling in love with books was everything. Travis Baldree once again narrated and he is a great narrator. 

 5 out of 5  Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press  I have been a fan of Sarah Pekkanen since I read An Anonymous Girl by her and Greer Hendricks. This is the first book that I read  by Sarah alone and  I really enjoyed  it.  This is kind of a slow burn and it takes a it to really get into the mystery full on but when you do it is amazing.  Kate Mara was a really good narrator. I find that not everyone is great at audio narration and even though you would assume that all actors would be great but some aren't.  I really enjoyed Kate though.

 4.5 out of 5 stars Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape media This is the second in the Scandal Mountain Antiques series but my first time reading this series. I really enjoyed the setting and the characters. The characters were intriguing and the mystery was very interesting. Emily Ellet did a great job as the narrator.  I may have found a new narrator.

 3.5 out of 5 stars Thanks to Netgalley and Dreamscape Audio I kind of had mixed feeling about this book. I really enjoyed the premise but I was slightly disappointed in the main character. I felt that if there was a bad decision to make Hannah would make it.  Don't get me wrong, I did like Hannah, I just wanted her to be smarter. I really enjoyed Hillary Huber's narration and the end of the book was really good. I  did tear up a bit in the end.
