Review - A House Built by Slaves
For the last couple of years, memoirs have become an interest of mine. When I saw the audiobook of A House Built by Slaves pop up on NetGalley, I was immediately intrigued. In fact, the remainder of the title shows as "African American Visitors to the Lincoln White House."

*HOW WAS MY WEEK*
Well, my Sunday began with disappointment. I was about halfway done with my eeBoo jigsaw puzzle but I hit the tray and it crashed to the floor. Hubby picked it all up for me, but I don't even want to look at it at the moment. Thus, I am spending the morning diamond painting. As my drafting table is kitty corner to my desk, I did take a moment to write a couple of book reviews. Then I put on my first book for this week, Murder at the Island Hotelby Helena Dixon. I ended up having a good reading day by reading four books.

BLOG TOUR - The Custody Battle
When Greg and I first decided to separate, we promised to keep it civil for our daughter Lola. So when she stopped wanting to hug me, I thought Lola was just struggling with the divorce. Then she started screaming at me, calling me a liar, and I could hear Greg in her words. I’m certain he’s trying to turn our baby against me.
He’s determined to dig up dirt on me, to make the court think I’m a terrible mother… But two can play that game.
So when he reveals the worst thing I have ever done, my heart pounds in my chest. Because I know Greg’s deep dark secrets, too. But the more we each try to win, the harder it is to turn back. Now I’m terrified that we’ve put Lola in terrible danger…
By the time we realise what we’ve done, will it be too late for us to save her, or ourselves?
A completely gripping dark domestic suspense novel about a family tearing themselves apart, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth.

COVER REVEAL - The Hollow
THE HOLLOW, which releases April 1st, is a romantic thriller in the vein of HEMLOCK, THE REUNION, and THE MESSES SERIES. It is sun-soaked, full of nostalgia, and filled with sinister secrets! I can't wait for you to read it!
About the book:
It was the perfect place to grow up…and the perfect place to die.
After experiencing a personal tragedy, Carmen McKenna finds Hunter’s Hollow—a bustling campground in rural North Carolina—to be her new home and worst nightmare.
Despite the promises of a chosen family and a safe place to grow up, living next door to the Hunters’ two sons comes with its own set of challenges. Jack and Dean introduce Carmen to a world she’s never known—one filled with young love, first heartbreak, and sinister secrets.
When a body is found at Hunter’s Hollow, instantly shattering the tranquil façade that has surrounded the campground, the residents are forced to accept the truth: a killer is among them.
As the police search for answers to no avail, Carmen leaves the campground in hopes of clearing her mind and healing her broken heart.
Now, eleven years later and with the case still unsolved, Carmen returns to face the past and discover the truth about that terrible night. Before she can, a guest is reported missing from the campground and the circumstances are all too similar to the horror Carmen once faced.
They say you can’t go home again, but when buried secrets call to Carmen from Hunter’s Hollow, she’s determined to learn the truth about what happened back then—and what’s happening now—if it’s the last thing she does.
Returning to once again blur the edges between psychological thriller and romantic suspense, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings She wakes surrounded by an inky black darkness and can barely breathe. A sack is covering her head, and her hands are tied behind her back. She desperately tries to struggle free as she hears footsteps walking toward her. She silently starts to cry as a chilling voice whispers “It’s time to pay for what you did…”
