Quills and Pages | Your Gateway to Great Reads

Hi Readers!!!! Welcome to Quills and Pages. Another day, another tale to unthread—today, we’re peeling back the pages of The Silent Patient . I have been hearing a lot about this book from my mutuals, so I thought, let's read it. BLURB Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapi...

This is a review of an ARC sample from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It's heavily raining outside and i am writing this review with the sound of rain......a perfect moment!!!! Secrets of Rose Briar Hall is written by Kelsey James. It's a historical fiction mystery thriller. I requested the audiobook totally by chance on Netgalley and found it really interesting.

***This is a review of an ARC sample from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*** Another one of my Netgalley reads. It took so long for me to get back to properly writing reviews of my NetGalley reads. I would like to thank The Author  Natalie Gibson   and Netgalley for this book.

This is the second book in the Kathleen Turner series. This second book has that cozy murder mystery vibe with a  touch of sinister. I read and re-read this book so many times that now I remember everything from the book makes me feel like I just read it yesterday.  So in this book, Bane and Kathleen are dating and going on dinners and doing stuff together. One afternoon they went Christmas tree shopping and someone started shooting at them. Bane gets scared for Kathleen because she is now receiving little letters of threats. Bane calls Kade (his brother) to come and play bodyguard for Kathleen because he is busy fighting this hot shot case of a navy seal. Long story short, someone was targeting people related to the case which makes Kathleen a super target because she is close to Kirk (Blane Kirk) who is defending a seal. Kade comes to town but things happen and Kathleen gets herself in more trouble than she can handle. She is threatened, kidnapped at gunpoint, and left to di...

This book series takes darkness to a whole new level—calling it Dark Romance doesn't quite capture it, it's just dark, like, really dark. I devoured these 5 books in a mere two days. So, let's discuss the plotline.  Warning: spoilers ahead, proceed with caution. We have Lana Myers, an online entrepreneur who catches the eye of an FBI agent named Logan in a coffee shop. Lana is a serious mature girl who works a lot and doesn't go out much or do any kind of stuff that normal people do; kind of a mysterious person. Logan and Lana start dating each other and things become serious between them. Lana has a past that she doesn't talk about. Logan is oblivious to the fact that Lana is on a chilling revenge spree, systematically targeting individuals connected to her traumatic past. Simultaneously, Logan is engrossed in investigating a series of serial murders plaguing a seemingly peaceful town with a dark history. The plot thickens as Lana and Logan fall in love, unaware of...
