men are scary ❤️

Oh, the Russian roulette of having blind faith in a complete stranger's book recommendation!"You will love this," gushed a crocodile-skinned English lady at my Thai resort hotel. "It's partly set in Thailand and is a real page-turner."There followed one of the most ridiculous reads I've ever had the misfortune to experience. I'm completely baffled by all the five-star reviews for this one-dimensional yawnfest; the contrived storyline has to rank as one of the most implausible of all time. Lead c...

(2.5?) There's no way I can review this book without sounding like an asshole but I'll try.

Boring. Unmemorable.

You're following the story of a woman who's in an abusing relationship. Classic bait and switch. As soon as she gets married to him, she realizes he's a monster. However, even if the audiobook narrator did a great job, I just had troubling caring much about her or feeling like she didn't have opportunities to get out of there...

Wasn't for me. Wouldn't recommend.

Behind Closed Doors is an edge of your seat, frustratingly WILD ride. I really enjoyed this, y'all!!!I was flipping these pages so fast, it's a miracle my fingers didn't catch on fire.I became so frustrated with the protagonist, Grace, that my stress levels were off the charts. I loved every minute of it!Does that sound ridiculous? Yes, it does, but I'm telling you, this one takes you there!I just had to know what was going to happen. If this were a movie, I would definitely have been yelling at...

*4 stars* (Because 3.98 sounds too olympic-figure-skating-judgey)Sorry you had to take all that heat, George Clooney…If you can dig deep and find it in you to curb your need for concrete common sense and logic for the sake of some truly fun fiction, then you, my friend, are the perfect prospect for Behind Closed Doors . Because this is the second book by B.A. Paris that I could not put down. Sure, I had to battle a few nagging concerns while I read: - This wouldn't really happen this way… -Su...

3 1/2 stars. Okay, listen up. This book is not the next Gone Girl. Don't let anyone tell you that. It just isn't. It's not that kind of twisty, secretive book at all. It's the kind of fast-paced, pulpy read that plays with your emotions without ever making you think too hard. But, so help me, I could not put it down.karen nailed it when she described this book as being fuelled by its action, not its suspense. The story actually gives up its secrets almost immediately - in fact, most of you proba...

Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train.” By the time I was finished, there was only one thing that was going to cure my misery . . . WARNING: SPOILERS BECAUSE I DON’T GIVE ONE GOOD GODDANG ‘BOUT THIS ONE.Grace was a big muckity muck – living a jet set lifestyle as a buyer for Harrod’s. That all changed, however, when she met George C...

I've been dying to read this book every since I first saw the blurb about it. I knew it wasn't going to be pretty and I have an un-holy attraction to books about psychos. I don't want to give up too much of the book because the biggest draw for it is the twisty parts of it. Grace has not had too much luck with men. She has a younger sister Millie who has Down's syndrome, and most men kind of back off once they realize that Grace is Millie's primary caregiver and that she isn't going to chan...

I finished this book late last night and I still can't stop thinking about it. I have been wanting to read Behind Closed Doors for quite some time. When it was available on NetGalley I requested it right away but unfortunately was denied. I think that just made me want it more!So when I finally got my hands on it I just had to put everything else aside and start reading. And I was pulled in right away. ***Possibly some very minor spoilers***"The perfect marriage or the perfect lie?"The story alt...
