The New One

Author: Evie GreenPublisher: Berkley Publishing GroupDate Published: March 28, 2023 I liked this book so much! You will too, especially if you’re a fan of Black Mirror or the books in the Jolvix series by Faith Gardner. It’s thriller meets technology in the (maybe) not so distant future.

The Doctor’s Wife

Author: Daniel HurstPublisher: BookoutureDate Published: January 31, 2023 Daniel Hurst is an auto-buy for me. He not only does lies and deceit well, but he can tell a story from a woman’s point of view flawlessly. I loved how Fern lulls Drew into thinking she went along with his idea to move to a small village…
