Audiobook Review Narrator Karissa Vacker 5 out of 5 stars! Chloe Davis has successfully moved on from her horrible childhood and the memories. Becoming a psychologist with her own practice, owning a house, and about to marry the man she believes to be the one! The wedding date is fast approaching and she's trying to get the motivation to finalize things. Though the more things tack onto her to-do-list the more she just wants to go down to the courthouse! When the news of a missing local teenage girl greets Chloe, she's thrown back to that fateful summer. The summer that redefined her life, her family's life, and so much more.

Book Review 4 out of 5 stars! Happy New Year's! "When children come into my shop, I watch them like a hawk, and quickly bring out the bleach wipes after they've left to clean off any books they touched." - Barnaby Barnaby is the very definition of prickly, but I mean can you blame him?! Sorry, but children have no sense of the word "boundary" and when the parents don't supervise them, they're all over everything. Like most retail workers Barnaby cringes internally and outwardly but being alive for as long as he has, I imagine he's literally seen it all! Barnaby would rather live his simple mundane life in peace without having to deal with people. Socializing being for extroverts and the devil. Yet when his longtime, vacant, apartment gets booked by a beautiful human for an entire month he may just have to rethink that peaceful, quiet existence. Something about her calls to him in more ways than one. Only will she run in terror like so many before...

Never Lie Author Freida McFadden

Audiobook Review 5 out of 5 stars! Narrated by Leslie Howard A famous doctor and pop psychologist author disappears everyone believing the boyfriend did it. It was never proven though and the mystery as to what happened to the great Doctor Adrienne Hale remains unsolved. . . A newly married couple viewing the very house that belonged to the late doctor only neither of them realized it was her house! This showing will last longer than most as a snowstorm moves in and traps them inside until it's safe to drive. Tricia has always been a curious creature and can't help but snoop, just a little. Quickly discovering the good doctor had recorded every one of her sessions with patients! What would it hurt to listen to a few of them? Maybe she can solve the mystery! I think I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that when I listen to audiobooks, I unfortunately won't have any cool quotes to throw into my reviews. I'm typically doing something physically produc...
