Lock Every Door Review

Image result for lock every door





 Okay, so I figured that everyone that wants to reads this book has already read it, but GUYS, this book was so good! As much as I want to talk to people about all the spoilery things that happened, I know that I need to make this review a push for people that are on the fence or people that insist they aren't going to read this book, to read it.

So, the book is about a woman named Jules who, at the beginning of the book, was let go from her job and broke up with her cheating boyfriend in the same day or at least relatively close together, and finds a job listing that she can't turn down. Apartment sitting for 3 months accruing her a total of 12 thousand dollars at the prestigious Bartholomew, a glamorous and secretive apartment complex in Manhattan. While things seem a bit off, such as the rules that she's not allowed to have visitors or that she's not allowed to sleep away from the property, but Jules chalks it to the other tenants wanting their privacy, since most of them come from fame, fortune, or both. Soon after moving in, Jules meets one of the other apartment sitters, Ingrid, and become quick friends. Soon, Ingrid goes missing, and most just assume that she moved out, but Jules knows that something is up and she's determined to figure out what happened to her friend.

Now, I can't say too much without spoiling a lot because thrillers consist of so many spoiler plot devices, but I really enjoyed all the twists throughout the book. I will say I did see one of the twists coming but there are quite a few that I think are honestly quite refreshing while also being realistic. Another thing is that this is not one of those thrillers that bring in random bs characters as the final antagonist (yes I know that this could be seen as a spoiler, but nothing irks me more than having the true antagonist being revealed at the end because you can't really guess it.)

I know this isn't an in-depth review but I don't want to spoil this for anyone, but if you guys want me to a spoiler-filled review, let me know and I will do one in the future.

    I didn't read the review since I still need to pick this one up. But I loved Riley's first two books and can't wait to read this.

Murder Monday #7 The Parachute Murder

    Okay, if there was ever a way to end the month of love it's with talking about the Parachute Murder, granted I never heard of it before I started researching for the blog, but oh boy are you guys in for a doozy.    So, everything started on November 18, 2006, when Els Van Doren, Els Clottemans, and Marcel Somers went skydiving together and it ended up with Van Doren's primary and reserve parachute failing to deploy, causing her to fall to her death from the height of over 2 miles. The police established that the cords of the parachute had been cut and Van Doren's video camera captured the dive (I have no idea if the video is out there, but I didn't really want to watch someone plummet to their death.) As the police continued the investigation and learned of a love triangle between the three of them, in which Clottemans was in love with Sommers and Sommers was in love with Van Doren AND Van Doren and Clottemans had a sexual relationship with Sommers. So Clotte

  OH. MY. GAWD! Okay, so if you guys haven't heard about this book, I'm going to give your post-rock self a fairly new book that you are going to want to pick up ASAP. Truth be told I have no idea what the genre of this book is, it's historical fiction, but I feel like it's more revisionist historical fiction, but then there are dystopian aspects to it because there are ZOMBIES, or shamblers as they call them in the book, but holy shit you will love this book. Also, I wrote this in September (?) so this maybe a bit old.    So this book is about Miss Jane McKeene who is one of the students at Miss Preston's School of Combat in Baltimore. It takes place during "post-war" Civil War, although technically the Civil War was never finished it was... put on hiatus because zombies take priority over the Union and the Confederacy. In this alternate universe, as opposed to being slaves, African Americans are sent to combat schools to be taught how to fight the
