Carly comes to Fell wanting to found out what happened to her aunt and she starts to work at the sun down motel. Carly makes friends and starts her own investigation. I give this book 4 stars

Legacy by Nora Roberts

Image
  This is first time I read Nora Roberts book. I really enjoyed the characters but I felt like I got bit lost with what the plot was about. I ended up skipping some pages just to get past the chatting bits with her friends. I would say it had much suspense in it. I felt like the story was going on to much. I think the story could be bit shorter. I still would read more of Nora Roberts books but I was bit disappointed with this one. Thank you NetGalley and eARC for providing me with a copy of this book

The seven husbands of Evelyn by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Image
  I really enjoyed the book. I thought it was a bit slow to begin with and wonder why everyone was talking about it but I understood as I got further in the book. The story about Evelyn who tells Monique reporter about her life being famous , her marriages and the love of her life. There was few twists in the book . I did not see coming. I would highly recommend the book. It’s about fame, love , loss, betrayal and money. I give this book 5 stars

The Pact by Amy Heydenrych

Image
  I thought this book was ok but I felt like it did not need to be that long. The story is about Freya and she just started a new job and met Jay. Someone gets murdered and the story is round leading up to the murder and after the murder. Freya has not had easy time at her new job being bullied and hardly anyone talking to her there. The story was also so told by Isla who was reporting the murder and wanted to get to the bottom of what had happened. I felt the story was a bit slow and I was not  really gripped by it but it was ok read. I give this book 3 stars.

Go :One woman. One van. A new beginning by Stacy Fisher

  I really enjoyed Stacy story and it made me what to buy a camper van and going travelling. This story is about loss, separation, spirituality and founding her self. It was great to read about her experiences on camping in her van . I felt like I was there with her. It was nice seeing the photos of her trip and the photos of the van when she brought it and when she kept adding things to the van to make it more liveable and comfortable. I think she was a very brave lady travelling on her own. The things she talked about was stuff I was interesting in yoga, nature , beach , massages and spiritual. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.     I give this book 5 stars
