Review: Don't Look Down

Don't Look Down by Hilary Davidson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Shadows of New York series by Hilary Davidson. The series stars NYPD detective Sheryn Sterling and her partner, Rafael Mendoza. Jo Greaver is a successful businesswoman with a past. She is being blackmailed for something she has done when she was a teenager. In order to make it all go away, she meets her blackmailer and pays his $50,000. But the meeting does not go as smoothly as she hoped. In a moment of self-defense, she shoots her blackmailer and she is shot in the arm. She escapes with her life but eventually, the police catch her, and she is accused of killing Andray Baxter. When shown a picture of Andray, Jo knows that this is not the man she shot. What is going on? Who was the blackmailer and where is he?

This appears to be a simple case, but as Sterling and Mendoza dig in, they discover that nothing is simple. The complications pile on top of each other, making this case challenging. Who killed Andray Baxter? Is Jo Greaver innocent or guilty? What is the relationship between them?

I was on the edge of my seat throughout the book. Hilary Davidson gives you just enough hints to make you believe that you have solved the mystery but then surprises you with new evidence. This book is well written, and the characters are magnificent. I recommend the series to the crime fiction lovers or for those who would like to try this genre for the first time.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Thank you, Thomas Allen & Son for sending me an ARC of this thrilling novel. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻 by Hilary Davidson is now available at your favourite bookstore.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her by Liz Plum My rating: 3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves by Ingrid Chabbert My rating: 5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
