Stillwater Island Greg Olsen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have not read previous books in this series - I did not have an issue keeping up with the characters, nuances, etc. It may have enhanced my understanding of Megan but did not hold me back. Megan is called to the house of Marlena and her son Bennie - they have gone missing. The husband, Ben, called the police; due to a recent separation, Ben has been staying at the cabin. Not only does his behavior seem off to Megan, Ben can't pinpoint the day they could have vanished. Together, Ronnie and Megan begin their investigation - Ben, the son of a wealthy businessman; Cyrus, Ben's father; Helen, Megan's mother; neighbors. Marlena had few friends - typical in a controlling and possibly abusive relationship. Ben failed to mention Marlena is pregnant. Great characters - I really enjoy Megan's blunt, make it happen regardless of the rules personality. Looking forward to the next in the series.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alessia enjoys a quiet night at home, sitting on her couch when a brick is thrown threw her window.  With a message - Found You.  Alessia knows her past is coming for her - the past she has kept from her husband.   Two girls play in a small, abandoned cottage. Both girls abused, terrified of him.  Loved the characters,  plot. Great suspense.   Highly recommend. #bookouture #bookontour #illnevertell #caseykelleher #bookreviews #books #bookrecommendation #thriller

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. Instead he's forced to tag along with his dad.  They call to Si - in his dreams, in his thoughts they call his name.  Elma recites the age old rhyme.  The nevers calling for the blood of the promised Ward. Abel chooses to bury her - and the nightmare begins.   Creepy.  Violent creatures.  Lots of goo. An old Victorian house. And a family legacy to protect the town. Great read. #horror #creepybook #malevolentnevers #timrimer #zooloobooktours #shadowsparkpub #book #booktour #bookrecommendations
