Book Review – Tell me You’re Mine by Elisabeth Noreback #BookReview #BookBlogger #suspense
A missing child arc is one of my favorite.

BUT NOT STELLA. A successful psychotherapist with her … Continue reading Book Review – Tell me You’re Mine by Elisabeth Noreback #BookReview #BookBlogger #suspense

But having survived abuse from childhood, I can empathize with them as I do understand pain. This book was a hard core, dark gritty read which dealt … Continue reading Book Review – Dead Inside by Noelle Holten @nholten40 @KillerReads #BookReview #BookBlogger #policeprocedural
