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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

THE REUNION BY KAYLA OLSON

📖 BOOK TITLE: THE REUNION 📖AUTHOR: KAYLA OLSON  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #155thBookof2024 I really wanted to love this; I mean, look at this stunning cover, but it is what it is, and I didn't love it 😩. It was like the author wanted to shove the love interest down my throat 😂😂. One thing this love story between Liv and Ransom did was make me cringe. I even lowkey hated the MMC's name 😩😑. The chemistry was not there, and it just felt as if Liv didn't have any other option than to date Ransom. Boy told you he wanted space; he didn't talk to you, and after so many years, he waltzed back into your life like he never left. The synopsis made it feel like Ransom was the reason Liv went into isolation 😑😑. Liv- I love your personality and your charisma, but your love story with Ransom was one I so detested 🙁. 📖 RATINGS : 2 STARS ⭐⭐ 📖🌸 READ IF YOU LIKE: 🌸 She has always loved him 🌸 Friends to strangers to lovers 🌸 Second chance romance  🌸 Hollywoo...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU

📖BOOK TITLE: MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU  📖AUTHOR:  CLARE OSONGCO 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #151stBookOf2024 Midnights With You is incredibly painful and sad—I say painful because it shines a light on the amount of harm that painful parent-child relationships cause on children and young adults. Upon seeing the cover, I was expecting a young adult romance, and I didn't even read the synopsis, so I was so shocked to discover the content. It was extremely painful to read and witness what was happening to Deedee, who felt so lost, so unloved, carrying all the shame and guilt all for no reason. Before reading, please ensure you read the trigger warnings, and I am going to add it to my review: This story contains on-page depictions of a parent being emotionally abusive, slapping, depression, grief, and racism. It also mentions the off-page death of a parent and off-page domestic violence and contains a brief scene of on-page sexual harassment. This is the kind of story...
