This is a twisty thriller that is creepy in the best sense. The book starts out slowly and builds tension until the crazy ending. Fran is a journalist that lets her ambition override her common sense. A reclusive artist choses her to take his first interview since the death of his wife. He lives on a secluded estate with spotty cell service, which automatically cues get-the-heck-outta-there vibes. Then Fran gets an anonymous message telling her he’s lying to you, get out while you can. Rather than follow this advice, she presses on. Mistake. Big mistake! Then he suggests they go hunting in the woods and she agrees. Seriously?! (face palm)

I love the Toronto Terror book series and the found family it’s created. This is book 5 in the series, but can be read as a stand-alone. Mildred (Dred to her friends) is so strong I instantly loved her. She has a lot of past trauma but she actively works to not let it affect her life. Connor is so broken and misunderstood my heart melted every time someone put him down and he had to act like it didn’t affect him. Being a grumpy jerk is his defense mechanism, but his mask slips when he’s with Dred. I loved that she saw right through his act to the man beneath and gave him comfort and support.

I love books set in Jane Austen’s world, and if it features a fiery woman that can’t hold her tongue, or her actions, when she encounters cruelty or stupid people, I’m all in.

This book is so adorable! I love the fake dating trope, and this one is done very well. Fable works as a creative in marketing for Wilder’s company. She’s funny, cheery, sunny, goes out of her way for her friends and is an overall delight. He’s a serious billionaire single dad that likes order and being in charge. The two have mutual friends and are the best man/maid of honor for their friend’s wedding. Fable needs a date for the wedding to show her cheating ex-boyfriend that she’s fine. Wilder needs a date to get his overbearing, matchmaking aunt to back off setting him up. They decide to fake date for the wedding, and the week of fun and games in the small town where the wedding will be held. No problem. They’re friends. It’s only a week. They can fake it, right? Right.
