Hush Little Baby - Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Statistically, pregnancy is one of the most dangerous times of a woman's life. Not to mention all of the unknowns - growing a person in her body, hoping all is developing well. It is definitely like housing an alien - all of which the author plays on in this book, adding to the creep and suspense factors. 
Jillian is a successful ob-gyn doctor - delivering babies, assisting women with care and compassion. She herself is weeks away from giving birth - when small little things start happening. Window screens are open. Her baby journal is moved. Fred, her cat, escapes the house. 
Jillian's group of pregnant first time moms from her AA groups, called the Ripleys, tell her it's pregnancy brain. Minor details Jillian simply forgets. 
Jillian is convinced something is happening - she confronts her wife, Rochelle. At five months pregnant, Rochelle moved in with her new girl friend, Domi; Jillian completely unaware of their affair. Or could it be one of her patients? 
Excellent suspense. Loved the back story and reality of the characters. 
Highly recommend.

Migration Event - Book Tour

Migration Event K C Gillis  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #migrationevent #kcgilliswriter #environmentalthriller #thriller #suspense #mustread #jordanreed #zooloobooktours This book is well researched, planned and executed. It immediately made me think of the Pelican Brief by John Grisham.   An environmental thriller that sucks you in, includes massively rich men and politicians.   Jordan receives a random tip about a wealthy man evading tariffs.  As she digs deeper, Jordan learns no one knows why this man bought a failing solar panel company.  Maggie is a die hard conservationist, with connections all over the world. Migrating dowitchers are literally falling dead from the sky. An autopsy reveals a specific metal poisoning. Found in solar panels.  Great suspense, lots of characters to keep the plot moving.

The Stars Among us - Blurb

It was almost nine. Nora and Lucas both had to get up in six hours’ time, so they finished their drinks and decided to call it a night. Lucas didn’t want Nora to walk home alone to what he joked looked like a slum apartment. He thus accompanied her to the official hotel drivers, who were stationed in the alley behind the building. They were laughing because Lucas was telling the story of how Handmaids 1 and 2 had got into a fight that day over who would pass the bottle of water to him, not realising that he understood what they were saying. So they didn’t notice Dan until they bumped into him. He gave them a quick and curious once-over, and then launched into usual mode. “Well, well, so this is why you couldn’t come out for a drink with me?” he observed snarkily. “No, Dan, I didn’t go for a drink with you because I like spending my time with people who mean something to me, and you don’t,” she retorted sharply, only noticing after the event that she had accidentally said that Lucas was...

Malevolent Nevers  Tim Rimer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Abel Ward left his home as soon as he could.  Just about twenty years later, his high school crush, Daisy,  calls. His great aunt Elma is quickly declining.  Si simply wants to spend his time with his bestie and girlfriend,  Mags.
