BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER


๐Ÿ“š BOOK TITLE: MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER 

๐Ÿ“š AUTHOR: OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE

๐Ÿ“š GENRE: THRILLER 

๐Ÿ“š 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 ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝ‍♀️, 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 mess๐Ÿ˜‘) 

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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!!

๐Ÿ“š RATINGS: ⭐⭐/5  (2 OUT OF 5 STARS)

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND BY KATHLEEN WHYMAN

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND? ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: KATHLEEN WHYMAN  ๐Ÿ“–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 ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. 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 gag๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคข. And yes, there is a love interest ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ. ๐Ÿ“– RATINGS : 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#17 NETGALLEY READ: SOME LIKE IT SCOT

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: SOME LIKE IT SCOT  ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: PEPPER BASHAM  ๐Ÿ“–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 ๐Ÿ˜‚) and Katie. These two give a whole different meaning to love, ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ 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'...

THE REUNION BY KAYLA OLSON

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: THE REUNION ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: KAYLA OLSON  ๐Ÿ“–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 ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. It was like the author wanted to shove the love interest down my throat ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. One thing this love story between Liv and Ransom did was make me cringe. I even lowkey hated the MMC's name ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜‘. 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 ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘. Liv- I love your personality and your charisma, but your love story with Ransom was one I so detested ๐Ÿ™. ๐Ÿ“– RATINGS : 2 STARS ⭐⭐ ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒธ READ IF YOU LIKE: ๐ŸŒธ She has always loved him ๐ŸŒธ Friends to strangers to lovers ๐ŸŒธ Second chance romance  ๐ŸŒธ Hollywoo...
