Bless Your Heart

  Bless your Heart  By  Susann Camus  Review: This book is a smart, suspenseful thriller that grabs your attention from the start. Bless Your Heart: A Jeannie Johal Thriller follows healthcare researcher Jeannie Johal as she’s pulled into a mission that turns deadly fast. What starts as an investigation into data sabotage becomes a murder mystery when her new boss is killed on day one. Jeannie’s quiet confidence and sharp instincts make her a compelling lead. The setting—a small Southern town with secrets—adds rich tension to the story. Between a shady correctional facility, a beautiful but dangerous Arboretum, and a tight-lipped local community, Jeannie has to untangle more than just faulty research data. Every location and character feels like a piece of a larger, carefully constructed puzzle. What I appreciated most was how grounded the suspense felt. There are no over-the-top action scenes here, just smart deductions, believable threats, and a heroine who relies ...

The Girls of the Glimmer Factory

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: The Girls of the Glimmer Factory  Author: Jennifer Coburn  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: This is the second book I’ve read by Coburn, and once again, I’m struck by how she captures my attention right from the first page. Her storytelling in this novel is particularly compelling. The story revolves around the Nazis’ plan to create a propaganda film depicting a false image of the Theresienstadt ghetto. Hannah Kaufman, a Jewish woman opposed to the Nazi regime, and other like-minded individuals in the camp, are determined to expose the truth. Although they can't halt the film’s production, they know they must act quickly and strategically. Hannah’s childhood friend, Hilde, is a strong Nazi supporter. She’s drawn to the promises of prosperity under Hitler’s rule and is eager to build a career in filmmaking. Told from multiple perspectives, the book provides a nuanced view of the differing beliefs held during the war. The author crafts a thought-provoking ending, and t...
