 Rachel's Random Resources

Don't miss the brand new thriller by Valerie Keogh! Perfect for fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and K.L. Slater.



About the Book:

Since that fateful night I have always kept myself to myself. Reserved. Private. Alone.

Some people think I am too quiet. That life is passing me by. But I know there is safety in my own company. That no one can hurt me if I don’t let them get too close.

Until the day I meet him. A handsome, charming stranger. A chance for me to take a risk…finally?

Or a man who threatens everything I’ve worked so hard for?

You’ll be sorry…

And that’s when my whole life begins to fall apart….


Review:

 Ava has her dream job as a librarian at the Tate. It’s a perfect job for her because she loves to work alone. Her best friend is always encouraging her to get out more and date. When Ava rejects a man at the bar she’s walking away when she hears, ‘you’ll be sorry’. Then strange things start happening and she’s afraid the man she rejected is out to get her.

I enjoy this author’s books. They make you think and trying to figure out the twists is part of the experience. This is a slow building book with a surprising ending. Ava is stronger than she gives herself credit for. The story takes place over a few days and is a quick read. If you like strong female characters, you will want to check out this book.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il...
