Book Review: The Coworker by Freida McFadden

Forget star ratings! THE COWORKER is a five-turtle read! If you know, you know. If you don’t, it will all make sense after you read THE COWORKER. And read it you must.

Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the company where Dawn works. When Dawn doesn’t show up for work one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell is surprised. Then Natalie receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything.

I don’t want to give you more than the brief synopsis above for fear of spoiling the story. Just read it and be prepared for a wild and twisty story. A true thrill ride with many twists and turtles. Who knew turtles could be creepy? McFadden writes in such a way that I was completely engrossed, turning the pages as quickly as I could to find out how “this” related to “that.” You think you know what’s around the next corner, but McFadden throws curveball after curveball, right up to the very last page.

If psychological thrillers are your thing, and even if they aren’t, get a copy of THE COWORKER. You’ll be hooked immediately, and I predict McFadden will become a favorite author.

THE COWORKER releases on August 29, 2023 and will be available through Kindle Unlimited.

Thank you to Freida McFadden, Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Book Review: Ward D by Freida McFadden

Since October 2022 I have read all of McFadden’s psychological thrillers and each time I think I know what lies ahead, I don’t! Each book is always a wild, twisty ride and that ride continues in McFadden’s latest Ward D.

Looking Back: My Favorite Reads of 2019

As I started thinking about the approaching new year, I wanted to take a look back at the books I read in 2019. What books earned the rare 5-star rating? Which stories could I still vividly recall months after reading them? So off to Goodreads I went to take a little trip back through my 2019 reading. Here’s what I discovered …

Audiobook Review: Shotgun Angels by Jay DeMarcus with Timothy D. Willard

I have loved Rascal Flatts from the moment I heard their first song, “Prayin’ For Daylight,” back in 2000. Nineteen years later, I’ve seen the group in concert 10+ times and love them still. The first time I heard about this book, I knew I had to read it. I had no idea I would walk away as if I had just been to church. That I would walk away full of hope. This was not what I expected but in the very best way. Continue reading “Audiobook Review: Shotgun Angels by Jay DeMarcus with Timothy D. Willard” →

Book Review: Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann

We all know how much I love a wonderful cover – and WOW, is this a wonderful cover!? I absolutely picked this book up purely on the power of this beautiful woman with her glowing skin, powerful smile, and amazing hair. Combined with the vibrant purple lettering of the title smack in the middle of the cover it just pops so well and I couldn’t stop staring at it. So, whoever designed this needs a huge  round of applause! Continue reading “Book Review: Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann” →

Book Review: Making Up by Lucy Parker

Right away let me say how much I am in love with this cover! The lighting on it is breathtaking and highlights the couple so beautifully. It also give a vague vibe of the setting very well – which is London in a Cirque du Soleil type show. Which is something Parker does so well, create incredibly unique settings that I don’t read much and I really appreciate that! Continue reading “Book Review: Making Up by Lucy Parker” →
