Happily Never After

Happily Never After

By Madison Score

Blurb:

Things are looking up for Claire Hartley. After thwarting yet another attempted murder, she’s enjoying the quiet life as a dog mom to Rosie, girlfriend to grumpy filmmaker Luke, and planner of epic marriage proposals.

If she can manage to pull off this wildly elaborate Hollywood proposal, her dreams of creating bicoastal happily ever afters will finally come true. So what if her trauma-induced sleepwalking—and sleepsnacking—hasn’t gone away yet? That doesn’t mean anything, right? She’s fine. Everything is fine.

Except it’s not. There’s a teeny, tiny possibility that she didn’t put every member of the sinister, murdery organization behind bars. At least, that’s what Claire’s burned-down warehouse and a swimming pool full of blood lead her to believe.

The FBI isn’t turning up any leads, and when the threats escalate to target people she loves, Claire is forced to put on her amateur sleuth trench coat one last time.

The stakes have never been higher.

Can she turn the tables on the bad guys or will she—or someone incredibly close to her—be the final victim?

Review:

It took me a minute to get completely sucked into this story, but when I did, I flew through it.

A first read by me from this author, Madison Score. All I can say is wow! This book is well written and everything blends it in so well. This is a page turner for sure. It kept me in suspense and full of so many surprises that I never saw coming. I loved how the author brought up the previous scenarios and how this affected the main characters of the book.

I probably could have read it in one sitting, but adulting kept getting in the way. I loved the pace of the book. The characters are distinct and realistic. Claire and Luke's relationship flows well in this book. Several of the minor characters really brought the scenes to life and kept the story flowing when I might have been tempted to put it down. But I was glad I kept with it and let the story play out in its entirety.

Rating : 4/5

Thank you to Hambright PR for providing me a copy of this book.

The Restaurant Kid - With Colored Pages Book Tour

The Restaurant Kid By Rachel Phan Book Description: A warm and poignant narrative about finding one’s self amidst the grind of restaurant life, the cross-generational immigrant experience, and a daughter’s attempts to connect with parents who have always been just out of reach. When she was three years old, Rachel Phan met her replacement. Instead of a new sibling, her parents’ time and attention were suddenly devoted entirely to their new family restaurant. For her parents—whose own families fled China during Japanese occupation and then survived bombs and starvation during the war in Vietnam—it was a dream come true. For Rachel, it was something quite different. Overnight, she became a restaurant kid, living on the periphery of her own family and trying her best to stay out of the way. As Rachel grew up, the restaurant was the most stalwart and suffocating member of her family. For decades, it’s been both her family’s crowning achievement and the origin of so m...

Author Interview - M. H. Cali

Question/ Answer Session with M.H.Cali Q : Please Introduce Yourself, A: I am M.H. Cali. Writing has always been my creative outlet for as long as I can remember. I’m a neuroscientist by trade, but decided to pursue where my writing could take me and share my stories. If they are fun to write for me, maybe they can also connect with other people! The world around us, the people inhabiting it, the events unfolding, nature, science, music, art, are all incredible sources of inspiration for me. Sometimes tales take hold in my brain and when they do, I sit down to write them. I have to. I write character-driven suspenses, thrillers, mysteries, action, and sci-fi stories that mostly always have a romance aspect to them (and spice!) because I love exploring the intensities as well as complexities of human relationships. 1. What helped you or motivates you to write your recently released book Entropy series? Honestly, the whole Entropy plot...
