Hello my lovely readers! It's time for another round of Quick Reviews!
A dedicated journalist unearths a generations-old family secret—and a connection to a string of missing girls that hits way too close to home.
*This was a great debut! A little long and the author definitely could've cut half of the fertility plot out, but enjoyable nonetheless. I'm glad there's finally a book out that addresses the plight of missing Black girls. 4 out of 5 stars
In June 1975, the Taylor family shatters when two out of their three teenagers are found dead. The only surviving sibling, Vincent, never shakes the rumors that he was the one who killed them.

*Decent read. Not terrible, not great. Pretty average. 3 out of 5 stars

*Good thriller. It had a great twist that a lot of authors don't address. 3.5 out of 5 stars
Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all and, if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. But after Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Now a true crime podcast has come to town to solve the murder.
*Great audio production, but it was a pretty middle of the road thriller. Not awful, not great. 3 out of 5 stars
