Heather Evans returns home after her mother’s baffling suicide. In her mother’s belongings she finds some alarming letters- correspondence with the serial killer Michael Reave. Reave has been serving a life sentence for decades now after being convicted for several ritualistic murders of women, even though he continually pleaded his innocence. Finding these letters causes Heather to seek out the person her mother had been writing to and look more into this case. When a new body is discovered with the same MO as the previous murders, Heather tries to find out the truth about what happened and what her mother could have known.
Initially, this story is a gripping thriller. It gives you the creeps the same way the opening to a horror film does, very atmospheric which is great. I would advise anyone who can’t handle animal cruelty in a book to skim that. I did find that once you reach a certain point in the book there is so much going on, so many different elements that are supposed to be mysterious, creepy, or haunting, that it does feel like a little too much.
The premise of this book was intriguing and the creep factor was definitely there for some of the book. I wasn’t completely satisfied with it as I finished it up, but there are some great reviews for this book and I’m sure there will be even more by the publication date. I would definitely recommend you read it and form your own opinions because I have a feeling people are going to be very hit or miss with this one.
Thank you to Netgalley, Crooked Lane Books, and Jen Williams for the opportunity to read this review copy.
FromNew York Times bestselling author of the “twisty-mystery” (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, comes The Woman in Cabin 10, an equally suspenseful and haunting novel from Ruth Ware—this time, set at sea.
Can anyone recommend a good series or film horror/thriller/psychological on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Starz Play or Disney?
I can name a few things I’ve seen
Pieces of her, Archive 81, Russian Doll, You, Prisoners, Fresh, Shining Vale, The Act, I also watch true crime shows/films too.
Things like that, anything horror or thriller related, I just feel like I’ve watched everything that is good lately and I haven’t found any good hidden gems.
The film portrays a housewife of a wealthy CEO, when she becomes pregnant, develops an appetite for objects. From marbles, to metallic to sharp objects. And that makes her confront psychological ghosts of the her past.
she has a mental disorder that comes from several aspects such as herself being the result of rape
being a retail worker who comes from a poor family and knows a rich man she saw the opportunity to have a normal life and financial stability so she sacrifices her true self to be the perfect housewife. And that begins to resent itself through appetites for objects.
She stopped being herself, to be something she was not, to be what the rich man and his family wanted. However for this family, it is never enough, she is constantly ignored and criticized.
when she is confronted with mental problems nobody in that family wants to know about her health, they just want a quick and effective treatment and the heir she carries in her womb.
The Best of Friendsis the latest book to grace my NetGalley reading list. I actually had gotten to where I had reviewed 80% of the NetGalley books I’d been approved for and had planned to hold off on some others. I have some on my list that actually won’t be released for a while, so I was going to get to some other ones in between. Then I remembered that I’d seen The Best of Friendsand had…
I still can’t really believe that I’m reading as many books lately as I am, but when you’re trying to just stay home, and social media is getting kind of annoying, and the news is not that great lately in the world… you turn to ways of escape, and books are a great escape from reality. (more…)
