My top January Pick: Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough


Hair-Raising!!! Spine Tingling!! You don't want to miss Behind 
Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough.

David and Adele seem like the ideal pair. He's a successful psychiatrist, she is his picture-perfect wife who adores him. But why is his so controlling? And why is she keeping things hidden? 
As Louise, David's new secretary, is drawn into their orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can't guess how wrong--and how far a person might go to protect their marriage secrets.

I cannot thank Sarah Pinborough and Flatiron Books enough for my advanced copy of this book for an honest review.  All I can say is, after reading this book, I am almost afraid to go to sleep at night.  Told between Adele and Louise narratives with a final surprising narrative you will not see where this book is heading.  The #WTF ending has me still, almost three weeks later, shaking my head and going I didn't see that happening in the least.  
I fell totally in love with the character of Louise. She is a recently divorced mother to a little boy. Adjusting to being divorced and single, Louise tends to have a pity party with her cheating married friend Sophie, She knows she needs to lose a little weight but hasn't had the energy too.   With not wanting to give away spoilers, I can honestly say this is a book that will keep you thinking, weeks later, how that happened?  

Pinbourgh has taken psychological thriller to an all new height.  This is one that a die-hard psychological thriller lover will not want to miss. 

Thanks again to Flatiron Books and Sarah Pinborough for an ARC for an honest review.

this is me....

When I was growing up, in a small town in Kansas, Saturdays were the days I looked forward to.   My mom would take me with her to the beauty parlor, I would venture across the street to the library. As you would walk into the two story old brick building, the smell of history would waft up as the door would swoosh open and closed.  A faint smell of mold or mildew, mixed in with the other mysterious smells were like a comfortable pair of shoes I would slip into. The librarian, Miss Jane Blades, always welcomed each and every patron with a "Good Morning" and when she seen it was me, she would just smile.  When I was the younger girl, 2nd or 3rd grade, she would have books picked out for me based on the level she knew I could read.  As I got older she had projects for me to do, in case I got bored, or too loud, but mainly it was to make me feel special.  The two story building, made of brick, was like my castle.  Tucked in the wooden shelves, we...

  They say every cloud has a silver lining. . . When Freya Miller is struck by tragedy, losing her husband and her home within a short time, she is burdened with many worries. The main one being where she and her five-year old daughter, Skye, are going to live. A chance meeting with the charismatic Dr. Marsden changes all that. He offers the young mother the most amazing opportunity; an apartment at one of London's most exclusive addresses for a fraction of the market rental cost. It's an offer Freya simply can't refuse. Within a couple of weeks, Freya and Skye are moving into Adder House and meeting the other welcoming residents. They very quickly feel part of the family. But just when Freya truly believes all her problems are history, a series of strange, unexplained occurrences begin.

A Perfect Summer Read ~ 5 Star Read

Becc was a good girl. A dedicated student. Aspiring reporter. Always where she was supposed to be. Until a secret affair with the charming Cal one summer in college cost her everything she held dear: her journalism dreams; her relationship with her best friend, Eric; and her carefully imagined future. Now Becc's  past is front and center as she travels up the scenic California coast to a wedding--with a man she has seen in a decade. As each mile flies by, Becc can't help but  feel the thrilling push and pull of  memories, from the infinite nights at beach bonfires and lavish boat parties to secret movie sessions. But the man beside her is not so eager to re-create history. And  as the events of that heartbreaking summer come into view, Becc must decide if those dazzling hours they once shared are worth fighting for or if they're lost forever. I thoroughly enjoyed the character of Becc. I, at times, could identify with her as I was at that juncture of lea...
