Blind Date with a Book | Book Reveal & Review





I stopped by my local book store this month and found they had some "Blind Date with a Book" books out for $1! I've been wanting to try a Blind Date with a Book for awhile but I've only seen them on Instagram. My boyfriend ended up picking one up for me as an early Valentine's Day gift and I couldn't wait to get home and see what I got.

I was intrigued by the hints on this book and another one but the other book was the last book in a series and I wanted something I could read without getting other books. The hints for this book was "Friendship, Crime, and Romance" which seemed like something right up my alley. I am addicted to crime shows and I'm a sucker for romance novels.



Now it's time for the big reveal...

Drum roll please...


I got Secret Sisters by Jayne Ann Krentz.



Synopsis ;  No one does romantic suspense better than Jayne Ann Krentz. Now, the New York Times bestselling author of Trust No One and River Road delivers a novel that twists and turns into a read that will leave you breathless.

Madeline and Daphne were once as close as sisters—until a secret tore them apart. Now, it might take them to their graves.

Nearly two decades after her childhood—and her friendship with Daphne—were destroyed in one traumatic night, a dying man’s last words convey a warning to Madeline: the secrets she believed buried forever have been discovered.

Unable to trust anyone else, Madeline reaches out to Daphne and to the only man she can count on to help: Jack Rayner, a security expert with a profoundly intimate understanding of warped and dangerous minds. Along with his high-tech genius of a brother, the four of them will form an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth....

Review for Blind Date with a Book ; I haven't gotten around to reading this book but I'm still eager to read it. My TBR list is so long so I'm not sure when I will get around to reading it but I will. My bookstore is a used bookstore and this was an old library book which I wasn't happy about but it was $1 so it was somewhat expected. I'm happy with the outcome of this book and I will definitely get more in the future if my bookstore continues with this promo. I also noticed my local library is doing the same thing so maybe I'll stop in there and see how their Blind Date with a Book is.

After You by Jojo Moyes | Book Review | Me Before You Book 2

 Judging a Book By It's Cover ; My opinion for this book was pretty much the same as for Me Before You, because they are a set and match pretty well. The difference is the colors were switched. So I loved this cover as well.


First Impression ; I was still a little upset with the ending of the first book when I started this book and I knew this was continuing Lou's story which I was both happy and curious about. The blurb made me more interested in her story because of "Reluctantly she joins a support group and meets Sam Fielding" who is this Sam and will he replace Will!? How could she be over him in such a short time!? And then there's this "Then a figure from Will's past appears and hijacks all of Lou's plans, propelling her into a very different future" who is this person!?

Rating ;

Review ; I loved that Lou's story got to continue. I was eager to see how her life changed and I wasn't disappointed. There was so much action in this book and I got to see into everyone's life a bit more after Will. I loved that Jojo tied in the rest of Will's family in this book so that we got to see how they coped with Will being gone. You saw how things ended and how some things began. You also got to see Lou's family grow as well, her sister in college and her mom stepping out of her comfort zone. This book had it all, action, romance, and a bit of mystery. I want to read more into Lou's life, I saw in the back interview where Jojo Moyes talked about leaving room for another book if the readers wanted and yes, yes we do!


The way the book ended I can definitely see this being turned into a trilogy and I'd love to see Lou growing more.
