A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage by Asia Mackay

 


actually finished reading this book in church before the service began because I could not stop reading it.  I know it's pretty ironic considering the premise.   When I first read the title I did not know what to expect and I certainly did not think I was going to like it as much as I did. 


The  title actually does a great job explaining what the book is about Hazel, who is married with a small child.  She also happens to be a serial killer.  Her husband, Fox, is a serial killer as well.  They work as a team to exert vigilante justice but only on men who really deserve it.  When Hazel gets pregnant they both agree to put their killing ways aside only having a small child and changing their lifestyle has a big impact on their marriage.  Both of them try to make a go at their new life.  Fox, tries therapy, and Hazel makes a new mom friend.  Both do their best but old habits are hard to break. 


This was such a fun book and such a great read. The best part was so much of it was relatable, except for the killing part, obviously. If you have been married a long time or have kids you can relate to what Fox and Hazel go through.  This was a fun escape and I highly recommend it!

Neferura by Malayna Evans

  Neferura will transport you back to ancient Egypt, into a world filled with drama, espionage, and court politics.  It is a fascinating, account of one of the only daughters of two pharaohs.  Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh who did amazing things with her rule during a time when women ruling should have been unthinkable.  This story delves into her rule but the main focus is on her daughter, Neferura. What I really enjoyed about this book was Neferura is portrayed as a strong female whose life is not as easy as one would think for having a mother who is a pharaoh.  She has always had to placate her half-brother Thutmose III, who is co-ruler with her mother.  Thutmose hates Neferura and will do all that he can to over throw Hatshepsut and Neferura.  Neferura must use her own wits to figure out a way to out smart Thutmose before he finds out a way to get rid of her permanently.   I love a story that is set in ancient Egypt and this one...

Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

  My heart broke for the three sisters, Jessica, Norah, and Alicia. At one point in this novel I was an emotional wreck and could not stop reading because I just had to find out how things were going to play out.  The novel alternates between the present and the past.  Bones have been found at the house where the sisters grew up. The question is who do the bones belong to and does it have anything to do with their foster mother, Miss Fairchild?   I thoroughly enjoyed the writing of this novel.  The story flowed and I was very invested in what was going to happen to the main characters.  I also thought I had figured out the twist in the novel but I was wrong.  The ending just blew me away.  This was a fantastic thriller and be prepared to be emotionally invested!
