Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak

“I see her every night,” Teddy says. “She sleeps under my bed so I can hear her singing.”

Without many job options, Mallory agrees to interview for a nanny job for a wealthy couple for their little son. Sure she’s failed, she’s ecstatic she’s got the job. Teddy is an adorable little boy who’s easy to care for. Thrilled, Mallory aims to do the best however things take a turn when Teddy starts drawing disturbing pictures, ones that keep getting worse and worse. Convinced something is haunting Teddy, Mallory is determined to put a stop to it no matter what. 

Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak was such a captivating novel. I feel like it is pretty similar to a lot of other books because the plot boiled to its basics is pretty common. However, the storytelling itself really drew me in immediately with the first page discussing Mallory’s state of mind. As well, I loved the inclusion of the pictures. The images were so creepy and I loved that they were included, it was incredibly easy to visualise the urgency of what Mallory was experiencing.

I feel like there was a disconnect with the characters. They didn’t really register with me, oddly enough. I was more interested in the plot and what was happening rather than the characters. Even now, I can only recall a few of them. I’m not sure what would have made them more memorable but this wasn’t a deterrent to me at all. I enjoyed the mystery and the storytelling was really easy to get into.

3/5

Book Review for Hate to Fake It To You

Channeling the essence of “Christmas in Connecticut,” Amanda ties in her love of Oahu and her appreciation of the cinematic masterpieces of the past for this laugh-out-loud, screwball comedy that begs the question: Just how far are you willing to go to make your dreams come true?

Libby Lane may not have what most covet in life—wealth, love, or a career that doesn’t leave her hating herself at the end of the night—but she does have the beauty of Oahu and wonderful friends. Friends with whom she conspired to create an online persona that was supposed to be a joke. The complete opposite of Libby in every way, “Lillibet” was her way to stick it to the rich resort guests she served, taking inspiration from overheard conversations and curating the most nauseating affirmations and the cheesiest introspective moments, all tied beautifully together with recipes from her friend Keoki and photos from her bestie Jean. It was just supposed to be an outlet, a harmless way to burn off some animosity. It wasn’t supposed to garner attention, especially from an influencer who, after a near-death experience, was determined to meet her “real-life inspiration” up close and personal. Along with Jefferson, the wildlife photographer who saved her life, Hildy declares that she needs to celebrate Me-mas with Lillibet to recover from her harrowing ordeal. Suddenly sucked into one of Jean’s brilliant ideas before she can realize what is happening, Libby finds herself in Lillibet’s home with a “husband”, two goats, and one heck of a lie. Trying to keep up the farce while maintaining her sanity, Libby has to find a way to get the job of her dreams from her surprise guest without ruining it all by falling for a certain photographer who can somehow see the real her.

As her debut adult novel, “Hate to Fake It To You” was a lot of fun to read, even if it had its peaks and valleys which may cause the attention of the reader to ebb and flow. Showing true admiration for the beaches and beauty of Oahu, even if the overall story didn’t captivate its audience, the breathtaking description of the surroundings, the mouth-watering cuisines shared, and the general atmosphere provided demonstrates just how talented Sellet is in bringing a place to life.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Available tomorrow (July 16th!)

I let you dive into the definition of love, according to its Perfector and Creator, in a Christian approach, hoping to reach believers and nonbelievers alike, with biblical truths.

“That’s the thing about falling in love. You don’t exactly expect it to happen until you’re crash landing into someone else’s arms, wondering how the hell you lost the battle against gravity in the first place.” ✨🏠✨ Final Offer by Lauren Asher is the third and final instalment in the Dreamland Billionaires series, this time following the dual narratives of Callahan “Cal” Kane and Alana “Lana” Castillo. I have to admit that this was by far my favourite of the trilogy! The friends to lovers (not once, but twice!) meant that the banter and the tension were incredibly amped up, and the smut scenes reflected that. I loved how the fluffy cuteness could transition into steamy spice without being awkward. The characters well well-rounded, and I enjoyed the exploration of their past relationship, as well as their current one, and I very much liked that while the inheritance played a part of the story, it wasn’t as much of the main focus, unlike the last two books. I also have to admit that I loved that both the previous couples made appearances in this book, as it felt like it tied them together nicely. The discussion around substance abuse and the road to recovery was, for the most part, handled incredibly well. However, I didn’t agree with the fact that Cal seemed to be so focused on making Lana his reason for staying sober; I feel like the book would have benefited if we saw a bit more of Cal doing it for himself, rather than her or the inheritance. Overall, another great read from Asher, and a brilliant conclusion to the Dreamland Billionaires series! ✨🏠✨ Final Offer is book 21 for 2023. #bookstragram #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #reading #aussieswhoread #avidreader #bookwhore #aussiereader #reader #readersofig #booksofig #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #girlswhoread #readinggoals2023 #auskiwibooksta #bookquote #finaloffer #finalofferlaurenasher #laurenasher #dreamlandbillionaires #spicyromance #contemporaryromance https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqb_OGSrZc4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
