I Can't Wait for... Green Monsters!

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released.

I met Nicky Shearsby through the Twitter #WritingCommunity and she is such a wonderful writer to interact with! 

Green Monsters

Blurb:

I knew what love was. Love was sex. And I was most definitely going to make Jason love me today. Love me as if his life depended on it.

Green Monsters is told completely from the viewpoint of the antagonist, delving deep into the mind of a narcissistic psychopath.

Stacey Adams had not set out with the intention of hating her sister, Emma. In fact, she was convinced, at some point, she must have loved her once. Over the years, however, Emma had taken that love, twisting it into something bitter, until Stacey had no choice but to act on her impulsive instincts. After seemingly finding it easy to steal her sister's husband, Jason, Stacey's life appeared complete. All she needed now was her sister gone, out of the way. Forever freeing the man she believed had been drawn into Emma's control for too long.

Green Monsters tells the tale of a sister's jealousy for a life that was not her own. She only wanted to be happy, of course. And Jason would become her happiness. He was her one true love. She would save him and save herself in the process.

Little did she know what her actions were about to uncover.

Why I Want To Read Green Monsters:

It's been a long time since I read a book in the antagonist's sole perspective and this one sounds really good! I'm sensing that Stacey might learn something dark about either her sister Emma or Emma's husband in her quest and I'm dying to find out what it is.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - 22 February 2021

#IMWAYR is a weekly meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.

Happy Monday Bookdragons! I hope your week is off to a good start! I had two job interviews this morning and I hope one of them works out. 

What I Read Last Week: 

The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager

Warning: I've been on a Riley Sager binge... and I'm loving every minute of it. I'm so glad I took the time to read this one... it might be my favorite of all of his so far.  

The Bachelor by Carly Phillips

This was a reread for a blog tour. I read it originally probably 13 years ago and loved it. It was nice to revisit it with a new cover and updated technology. 

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

I actually was pretty apprehensive going into this book because I've heard mixed reviews but I ended up really loving it (and relating to Jules because, well, life right now). It's really kind of eerie thinking about the building and what it was being used for. *Shivers*

Tempting Heat by Sara Whitney

Seriously... this book was a perfect read for the recent weather (although we haven't had as much snow here in Wisconsin as further south thankfully). It's a cute, fast-read perfect for an afternoon where you're snowed in. 

The Booty by Willa Nash

Okay, so I got this for being part of the author's newsletter (it's the pen name of Devney Perry) and it's been sitting on my kindle for a little bit. Following my need of a palate cleanser yesterday I devoured this one in a little over an hour. The festival in this book sounds kind of awesome... haha 

Currently Reading:

Final Girls by Riley Sager

I tried reading this one last year but couldn't get into it, but it's the only Riley Sager currently published that I haven't read yet so I'm giving it another try... this time in audiobook. It's moving along better now so maybe I was in a slump last time.  

Next Read

Moon Child by Gaby Triana

I just added this to my kindle (since it released last week) but I've been looking forward to it since I first heard about it a couple months ago. The author sold me when the blurb describes it as "The Craft meets The Shining."

I Can't Wait For... Every Vow You Break!

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released.

I keep having this book recommended to me while online shopping and it sounds really good...

Every Vow You Break

Standalone
by Peter Swanson
Psychological Thriller
eBook, Hardcover, audiobook 320 pages
March 23, 2021 by William Morrow

Blurb:

A bride’s dream honeymoon becomes a nightmare when a man with whom she’s had a regrettable one-night stand shows up in this electrifying psychological thriller from the acclaimed author of Eight Perfect Murders.

Abigail Baskin never thought she’d fall in love with a millionaire. Then she met Bruce Lamb. He’s a good guy, stable, level-headed, kind—a refreshing twist from her previous relationships.

But right before the wedding, Abigail has a drunken one-night stand on her bachelorette weekend. She puts the incident—and the sexy guy who wouldn’t give her his real name—out of her mind, and now believes she wants to be with Bruce for the rest of her life.

Then the mysterious stranger suddenly appears—and Abigail’s future life and happiness are turned upside down. He insists that their passionate night was the beginning of something much, much more. Something special. Something real—and he’s tracked her down to prove it.

Does she tell Bruce and ruin their idyllic honeymoon—and possibly their marriage? Or should she handle this psychopathic stalker on her own? To make the situation worse, strange things begin to happen. She sees a terrified woman in the night shadows, and no one at the resort seems to believe anything is amiss… including her perfect new husband.
