I purchased a digital copy of Stalks, by Jenna Moquin through a KindofBook deal. All opinions stated here are my own.

Stalks, by Jenna Moquin is a very unusual dark fiction thriller. The title made me think of ‘stalkers’ and seemed appropriate for a thriller, and I won’t tell the true meaning and spoil the surprise, but I would have never guessed. The unusual characters make this book one to please mystery and thriller lovers alike, especially if you like your dark fiction a little on the odd side.

At first, I believed this was going to be your run of the mill thriller as our happy couple gets lost in the spooky woods and believes they are being stalked by someone or something. When their car is stolen and they are rescued by a pair of odd ducks, I thought I knew where things were headed. But that’s where the story started to take some unusual twists, and like any good thriller, it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering how either of them will come out alive. There are no spoilers here. If you want to know more, you’ll have to read it yourself, but I’d give it a go if you’re into the odd and quirky.

A journey into the unusual that is full of surprises. I give Stalks four quills.

I purchased Don’t Let Her Go, by Willow Rose through a Friday BookBub Deal. All opinions stated here are my own.

Don’t Let Her Go is a mystery crime thriller about a missing child who may not actually exist, and it’s up to Detective Billie Ann Wilde to find her and discover why there is no record of this child. With a young mother who seemed to want help finding her daughter at first, but then disappears without a trace, the task won’t be easy. She pushes hard to track down the suspected abductor, but she may be shocked by where the trail leads her.

Skillfully crafted to keep readers guessing. Like a puzzle, the real story builds up one piece at a time and one cannot see the whole picture until the last piece is in place, or in this case, until the last page is turned. Willow Rose doesn’t ever give too much away, but just enough to add to the mystery and keep the pages turning.

A true mystery with many twists and turns and a surprise ending. I give Don’t Let Her Go five quills.
