Five<\/em><\/strong> by Ilona Bannister<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed the change from the typical format. The story moved between the present and different points in the past, gradually revealing each character’s backstory. It added depth to the narrative and kept me invested in how everything connected. Chris Whitaker quote says it best: \u201cFive<\/em> is a gripping, chilling story that asks difficult questions about judgement, forgiveness, and the notion of cause and effect.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside Man<\/em><\/strong> by John McMahon<\/a>, Book 2 in the PAR Unit series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love a good mystery or suspense novel, especially one filled with quirky, enigmatic characters who keep me engaged and eager to uncover what happens next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Last Breath<\/em><\/strong> by Taylor Adams<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The story is packed with unexpected twists that kept me guessing from beginning to end. The isolated setting creates an intense, claustrophobic atmosphere that feels almost like a character itself, adding to the suspense at every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Your Own Bestie<\/em> by Misha Brown<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Part memoir, part self-help, Misha uses his own 4 step plan: SASS to encourage self-advocacy for the love and acceptance many are looking for. It starts from within. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
