I read and reviewed fewer books last week, with so many other things going on. But I sneak in a few minutes here and there and managed to finish this first book and start the second one.
ARC Review
All the Dangerous Things
Isabelle Drake woke up one morning to find her baby Mason gone from his crib and room. After fruitless searches by police and neighbors and a seeming dead end, her husband wants Isabelle to accept Mason's disappearance and move on with life. But she persists in trying to find out what really happened to him.
I found themes of sleep walking and memory loss intriguing, as well as Isabelle's searching into her past for answers that keep eluding her. Her childhood and memories of her younger sister Margaret tie this plot together in the dual timeline of the story.
The book kept me curious to the finish although I had some idea of what the ending might be. An enjoyable and suspenseful psychological thriller.
Currently reading something light:
Well, That Was Unexpected

I find books about disappearing babies to be horrendously stressful, and sometimes the authors seem to be manipulating the readers' anxieties. I think I'll skip this one!

All's well that ends well, Mae.
DeleteI really enjoyed, Well, That Was Unexpected.
ReplyDeleteJust started. Seems fun
DeleteTwo VERY different types of books! That's what keeps life interesting, right?

I love to read different genres.
DeleteWell That Was Unexpected looks like good fun. Fake-dating? Great new word for me.
ReplyDeleteAll the Dangerous Things looks promising, too. I wish I wasn't such a big baby about scary books.
Fake-dating to fool others, must be a new thing among the youngsters.
DeleteSounds like a good balance: A thriller and a light read. Here's my SP: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2022/09/25/sundaypost-precious-memories/
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
DeleteI hope you enjoy both of these. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, Cindy.
DeleteBoth books look good. It's nice to have a light read sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

DeleteI liked Willingham's A Flicker in the Dark! I'll have to try All the Dangerous Things. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like these two books couldn't be more different! Fake dating is a term I haven't heard before..
ReplyDeleteNew term to me too, JoAnn
DeleteThese books both look really good.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed them.
DeleteI love to change up my genres too.

Thanks for the visit.
DeleteI am finally reading books happily. I was in a reading funk for a while. My Sunday Salon post. I've been busy.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back
DeleteI find that even when I have a good idea of what the twist or reveal is about, the journey to reach that point is enough to hold my attention and keep me reading.
ReplyDeletesame here.
DeleteAll the Dangerous Things sounds so intriguing. I love psychological thrillers. I'm definitely going to add this one to my TBR. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it, Jenni.
DeleteYikes! All the Dangerous Things sounds terrifying as a parent! (even though my babies are now in their 20's). I'm enjoying a lot of suspense & thrillers this season!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books this week -

Yes, some of these psych thrillers are truly scary.
DeleteSuch a scary premise, and sleep walking and memory loss definitely sound spooky.
ReplyDeleteLots of intriguing plot elements thrown into this one.
DeleteBoth books sounds really interesting. All the Dangerous Things would probably keep me up at night.
ReplyDeleteIt's complex but not too scary personally.
DeleteGlad to see All the Dangerous Things is good.
ReplyDeleteI have this in my TBR.
Have a great week, Harvee.
Hope you enjoy it!
DeleteThat does sound like a good one and the cover is pretty interesting. Thanks for stopping by for our Commentathon today!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, Brian.
DeleteWhile these both sound good I love a dual timeline in a thriller and this one sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment
DeleteI've seen Well, that was unexpected doing the rounds and it does seem like fun read. Glad to hear you are also enjoying it!

It's very YA, but I'm enjoying it.
DeleteVery different but they both sound good. Fake couples seems to be a theme this week. Have a good week and Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what those fake couples books are. I'm interested.
