One fateful encounter upends the lives of two women in this tense domestic thriller, a modern spin on Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers On A Train that flips the script on race and gender politics.
 
“I’m a big believer that women should help each other, Tasha,” she says. “Don’t you think?”

Tasha Jenkins has finally found the courage to leave her abusive husband. Taking her teenage son with her, Tasha checks into a hotel the night before their flight out of D.C. and out of Kordell Jenkins’s life forever. But escaping isn’t so easy, and Tasha soon finds herself driving back to her own personal hell. As she is leaving, a white woman pounds on her car window, begging to be let in. Behind the woman, an angry man is in pursuit. Tasha makes a split-second decision that will alter the course of her life: she lets her in and takes off. 
 
Tasha and Madison Gingell may have very different everyday realities, but what they have in common is marriages they need out of. The two women want to help each other, but they have very different ideas of what that means . . .
 
They are on a collision course that will end in the case files of the D.C. MPD homicide unit. Unraveling the truth of what really happened may be impossible‒and futile. Because what has the truth ever done for women like Tasha and Madison?

 

Review - 4/5 stars! This book had a super intriguing plot line about helping a stranger and what happens after. I did not expect about 90% of this book and it had intriguing twists. I like that it shed a light on important topics while still being a thriller I finished in one setting.

Hemlock Queen - 4/5 stars, sequel to the Foxglove King. Romantasy! I can't be the only one pining for Bastian, Gabriel and Lore to just all be together right guys? Give me book three after that cliffhanger. Really enjoyed the gods backstory in this one and how they are all tied together.   A Feather so Black - a fun adult romantasy for fans of the Cruel Prince and Emily Wilde. Fae, changelings and curses galore. It's also a swan lake retelling! This book set out to do a lot in 500 pages and pulls it off well.

A Darker Mischief

Image
Book Info: A Darker Mischief by Derek Milman Genre: Young Adult Mystery/Thriller Publishing Date: July 2, 2024 Review - 4/5 stars  This was a fun queer dark academia YA thriller. I would say this is definitely more upper YA, I don't think I would have understood most of this or it would've been too much at ages 14-16. There's a lot of interesting history/architect information that made it feel dark academia. I really like how this book ended and we saw where everyone sort of ended up.   Synopsis: The Honeys  meets  The Secret History  in a work of dark academia like no other — a boarding school thriller about a queer teen from Mississippi who finds himself swept into a world of old money, privilege, and the secret society at the heart of it all. When Cal Ware wins a scholarship to an elite New England boarding school, he’s thrilled to leave his past behind. Back home in Mississippi, he was the poor, queer kid who never fit in. But at Essex Academy, he’ll be able...
