What The Storm Broke
Nicole M. King
“<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>”

What The Storm Broke
Nicole M. King
“<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>”

The Rapist Killer: Unleashed
Ruby Sloane
“<p>Wow, I did not see that coming! What a story. “The Rapist Killer Unleashed” by Ruby Sloane is an intense, fast-paced thriller that completely hooked me. The premise alone is gripping, with someone targeting the husbands of Dr. Tessa Lord’s patients and claiming it as vengeance and justice. As Tessa works alongside an FBI task force to track down the killer, the tension keeps building in all the right ways. The twists caught me off guard, and I genuinely couldn’t put it down. Suspenseful, dark, and seriously addictive.</p>”
