BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER


📚 BOOK TITLE: MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER 

📚 AUTHOR: OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE

📚 GENRE: THRILLER 

📚 THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

I particularly liked that the chapters were very short which made It very easy for me to read and flow with the story. For a book set in Nigeria the story seems out of place. Let's start with Korede.

Korede is a nurse who works at a local hospital and helps her sister cleans up crime scenes and dumps bodies, the book kept talking about their father and what he did to them
(enough story was not told about their Father, maybe the book wanted mystery surrounding it) 

Ayoola the serial killer, any man you are with suddenly dies. Are these men always trying to hit you 🤷🏽‍♀️, are you always the VICTIM and how come this so called "VICTIM" is always with a weapon. WHY DO YOU KILL. WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE (unfortunately this wasn't talked about in the book, Ayoola just kills, she calls her ever loving sister to come clean her mess😑) 

In Their mother eyes, Ayoola is the perfect daughter and she needs to be taken care of always while korede is the caregiver 

"All guys want is a pretty face" isn't that true Tade 😉 I guess now you know that all that glitters isn't gold, that pretty face could have killed you and you will be forgotten just like the others beneath the 3rd mainland bridge.

Overall, I like the book; it was okay, very fast paced, I finished it in a day! So if you like thriller and want a very fast paced book, THIS IS FOR YOU!!

📚 RATINGS: ⭐⭐/5  (2 OUT OF 5 STARS)

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND BY KATHLEEN WHYMAN

📖 BOOK TITLE: HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND? 📖AUTHOR: KATHLEEN WHYMAN  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #154thBookof2024 I love this book, the humor! The drama! And the mystique surrounding Scott and his numerous problems. I can't believe Marie and his ex-wife married this guy. Scott is an a$$hole, and he deserves to be treated as such. Those poor innocent kids 😩. While humor was a big part of the novel, this book shines a light on serious topics such as infidelity, gaslighting, serial lying, and paternal irresponsibility towards children, just to say the least. I had so much fun laughing while reading this book and gained awareness of how lies and subtle gaslighting build up! What Scott did is unacceptable! And my heart goes out to all the things he did to the women he was with; what a gag🤮🤢. And yes, there is a love interest 🥰🥰🥰. 📖 RATINGS : 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#16 NETGALLEY READ: SOMEONE LIKE YOU

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOMEONE LIKE YOU    📖AUTHOR: SANDY BARKER  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #134thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books, and Sandy Barker for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. I would have rated this 3.5 stars, but I rounded it up to 4 stars. The whole transition from friends to lovers took me on a ride, and I really thought that both Raff's and Gaby's HEAs (Happily Ever After) would not happen due to some circumstances on both MCs part. "Someone Like You" is the fourth book in the "Ever After Agency Series," and I read this book as a standalone even without reading the rest in the series. Honestly, I feel that no one can be as dumb and oblivious as Raff. Like, seriously, dude, how can you not know when someone is flirting with you? The whole matchmaker bit got me excited (that's a dream job). Overall, I really enjoyed this story, even if I thought it was way too long and dragging ...

#17 NETGALLEY READ: SOME LIKE IT SCOT

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOME LIKE IT SCOT  📖AUTHOR: PEPPER BASHAM  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #135thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. It has been long since I've felt all the feels of a romantic swoon, and this book filled my heart with a renewed faith in love and what love can do to a person. I kept wishing for this book not to end for me to continue immersing myself in the richness of the love story between Graeme (I pronounce this as "grim" in my head; I hope that is correct 😂) and Katie. These two give a whole different meaning to love, 🥰🥰 and I love it for them. Katie, the travel writer who does not have roots in any place, meets Graeme, who has a loving family in Mull and is not thinking of going anywhere any time soon. After meeting our two MCs, I thought that maybe this was just going to be a fling, but alas, with these two, the word fling doesn'...
