Thank you Simon & Schuster Audio for the gifted audiobook! 

Best gal pals Darcy, Camilla, and Kate go on holiday to a posh resort in the Maldives. The ladies are “celebrating” Darcy’s divorce. What should be a sunny and boozy time quickly turns turns deadly. 

The three friends had bonded over a shared trauma and all have secrets. I thought this was an entertaining thriller with some twists and turns. It’s a good beach or pool read to squeeze in before the end of summer. The narration by Lesley Sharp was great and the setting left me dreaming of an exotic island vacation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

QOTD: any weekend plans? I have some errands to run and have a tee time for Sunday.

Thank you Simon & Schuster Audio for the gifted copies of Under Your Spell, Bad Tourists, I Was a Teenage Slasher, and I Nees You to Read This. Thanks to NetGalley and Knopf for the digital review copy of The Divide and William Morrow for the digital review copy of The Queen City Detective Agency. Happy August! Last month was a good reading month for me. I enjoyed 15 books. Here’s the breakdown: 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
๐ŸŽง Under Your Spell- fun, humorous romance
๐ŸŽงThe Lager Queen of Minnesota- great characters & so much heart

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
๐Ÿ“– The Queen City Detective Agency- 80s vibe southern noir 
๐ŸŽง Swan Song - Hilderbrand never disappoints 
๐ŸŽง Bad Tourists - twisty vacation thriller
๐Ÿ“– The Divide - Hollywood thriller with a big twist
๐ŸŽง The Collected Regrets of Clover - touching drama about grieving & growing 
๐ŸŽง What You Leave Behind - slow burning social justice mystery
๐ŸŽง Too Close to Breath - Irish police procedural 
๐ŸŽง I Need You to Read This- interesting characters & tons of twists and turns
๐ŸŽง Butcher & Blackbird - funny, spicy serial killers fall in love
๐ŸŽง I Was a Teenage Slasher - fun filled horror featuring all the slasher movie tropes 
๐ŸŽง The Long and Faraway Gone - private investigator tries to reconcile his past while a woman searches for answers of her own. Really good! 
๐ŸŽง The God of the Wood - is the disappearance of a girl at a summer camp connected to her brother’s disappearance years earlier?

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
๐Ÿ“– The Last One - over the top reality show on a cruise ship. The ending made me cringe.
