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.

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, were my cruise or pla

A Good Idea by Cristina Moracho

  How Far Would You Go for Revenge? Finley and Betty's Close Friendship survived Fin's ninth grade move from their coastal Maine town to Manhattan. Calls, letters, and a summer visits kept them close, and in the fall of their senior year they both applied to NYU, planning to reunite as roommates. Then Betty Disappears. Her ex-boyfriend Calder admits to drowning her, but his confession is thrown out, and the entire town believes he was coerced and Betty has simply ran away.  Fin knows the truth, and she returns to Williston for one final summer, determined to get justice for her friend, even if it means putting her loved ones -and hers. This book was nowhere on my radar.  I was thumbing through the section at a local thrift store and the cover is what reeled me in. A grungy, big claw foot bathtub in the middle of the woods.  What speaks suspenseful and psychological thriller does that ?  So i read the back of the book and decided $.50 what a steal.  Nothing ventured nothing gain
