Mystery

“<p>I was accepted as an ARC from Inside Story. I found this book very easy to read, easy to get into, and easy to stay interested in. I like the characters, I like the storyline, I like that the main character is a true crime podcaster. I felt like I could smell the barn they way Nicole described it. The only thing I did not care for was the repetition of the years and felt like the story took a while to finish. I understand though the author was trying to have you feel what Myla was feeling. I definitely recommend this book. Book releases June 1, 2026</p>”

“<p>ARC publishing June 8th. 2026. </p><p>Heather S. Chauvin brings you on a wild ride when 5 friends (family) go on a weekend getaway and someone is murdered. Love, hate, revenge, robbery and/or protection are all possible motives. Fast paced thriller with a twist you didnt see coming!

“<p>There were a couple of parts of this story that I'm not sure if I quite caught the detail of it, but from what I can tell the character is a true crime podcaster. I honestly thought she was a detective. But this was a great read. There were some interesting twists and some unforgettable moments. But I would definitely read again.</p><p></p><p>I could not find your book on Amazon. Once I find it I will post the above review.</p>”

“<p>What The Storm broke had me captured right from the start.</p><p>It was a story that I thoroughly enjoyed and I am eager to return back to Cedarwood, there best be book 2 🤣</p><p></p><p>I felt like everyone had a part to play in that one unfortunate night but it was making you question everyone and everything.</p><p></p><p>I definitely could have read this in one sitting, especially if I was listening to it.</p><p>It held my attention, it had me gobsmacked at points and I am going to keep this author on my watch list for more books! </p>”

“<p>The story kind of tosses you right into the middle of Dominic’s world—right at the point where everything is already falling apart and he’s being convicted of something that will define the rest of his life. And then from there, it slowly unravels into something completely different and unexpected.</p><p>Lovers is one of those short stories that feels heavier than it should in the best way. The pacing is tight and deliberate, never rushed but never slow either. Every scene matters. There’s no filler, no wasted space—just this steady pull that keeps you turning pages whether you meant to or not.</p><p>The part that really stayed with me was the emotional weight behind the characters. Penelope and Roslyn’s friendship feels real—like something that existed long before the story started. There’s history there, and you can feel it in the quieter moments just as much as the bigger ones. And then there’s Dom. What he was accused of, what it cost him, and the shadow it leaves behind—it lingers over everything. Even when you’re not directly thinking about it, it’s there, shaping every interaction, every choice.</p><p>I liked that nothing is handed to you too easily. The connections between them unfold in a way that makes you question what you think you know without ever feeling confusing or forced. It trusts the reader to sit in that discomfort a little.</p><p>And the ending… it hits hard, but not in a loud, dramatic way. It’s quieter than that—more calculated. The kind of twist that feels a little conniving, a little underhanded, like it slipped past you when you weren’t looking. It doesn’t just surprise you—it makes you rethink everything that led up to it.</p><p>This is absolutely a one-sitting read, and it’s the kind that leaves you staring at the last page for a minute before moving on. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more that is in this series.</p>”

“<p>I really enjoyed this fast-paced and intriguing short story. The plot kept my interest the whole way through, and it was one of those reads you finish before you even realise it. The twist at the end was a nice touch.</p>”
