"Queen's Heart" by Aja

My Sentiments:

Author Aja has done it again, giving the readers a beautiful love story featuring Reina and Blaze as the story continues from 'Wicked Nights.' It was a lovely read of how this story was delivered, giving the reader an excellent level of how they finally got together, accompanying her on her trip to New Orleans while on her job. You can expect plenty of 'hot sex' and love in this novella romantic read. So pick this one up; it's a good read.






The Wife List Kindle Edition by J.A. Schneider


 Book Excerpt:

"Has a group of men conspired to murder each other's wives - figuring their perfect alibis will save them? That is what Beth Kemp starts to suspect, but is she losing her mind? Her husband says he fears so...

I'll give this marriage one more try, Beth Kemp thinks. She is a successful crime writer in New York City who regrets that tension has crept into her relationship with her husband, Brad. He, too, is a writer who, after early success, finds his career fading.

Brad urges that a move to the country would make them happy again - and safe, especially Beth, to avoid the city's stress that triggers her severe asthma attacks. Beth wavers until her close friend is murdered, and the friend's husband has a perfect alibi. She finally accepts that the city's surging crime has become too hard for her.

The Kemps move to beautiful Sheffield, Connecticut, so perfect it seems too good to be true. It is. When one new friend cries in fear about her husband, and another has a bruise under her eye, Brad tells Beth she's overimagining. But when she hears of another wife's unsolved murder and yet another friend dies mysteriously, Beth suspects the husbands of covering for each other. Brad tells her she's getting crazy and paranoid.

Then Beth stumbles onto the most devastating shock of all, one she never imagined..."

"The Wife List" by J.A. Schneider

My Sentiments:

All that's left to say is this author has done it again, and that was giving the readers another good psychological thriller. Beth seems to be having trouble with a troubled marriage, and while this is going on, all kinds of tragedy come forth from her best friend Annie, who was also her agent, being murdered. Beth and Brad thought moving out of the large city of New York to Sheffield [suburbs] by getting away from crime and its dreadfulness would help their lives...but did it? The story has fascinating and well-developed characters that will keep one's attention from chapter to chapter. Yes, this is a long read but still a good one till the end. In the end, a story of just who you can trust.
