“Excellent selection of books! My favorite two being The Lost Village and Finley Donovan is Killing It. I already have and ARC of The Lost Village and I cannot wait to start reading it --has anyone pointed out how eerie the cover looks?! I was also pleasantly surprised by Finlay Donovan; so relatable as a single working mom trying to make ends meet. She gets this crazy offer to earn $50K if she provides an unusual service to a stranger. Considering how bills keep piling up, this fat check might help her get back on track financially and stop being so dependent on her ex. Finlay cracks me up, yet represent a spread contemporary tragedy. Top selection!”
“All of these are super intriguing but LET ME TELL YOU, I AM LIVING FOR FINLAY DONOVAN. I need the whole book immediately. My other favorite here was Every Last Fear--it's giving me some major Dark Places vibes and I love everything about that (well, love in a sense that I'm also terrified of).”
“What drew me to this sampler was, to be honest, that I already knew I wanted to read one of the books included in it. Additionally, I am always glad to get the chance of discovering new books that fit my reading preferences. All three other books did interest me so I didn't wait long to request it. I can definitely recommend reading this sampler if the titles sound interesting to you. The samples are long enough to get a feel for the story and the characters. I definitely will add them to my TBR and can't wait for the full published versions! I will be adding my opinion on each of the books included in the sampler for the individual books on Goodreads, my blog and Instagram as soon as I got a chance to read the published versions! :)”
