June has worked hard for her family, but she is starting to feel like the dull accountant trope. She is safe and comfortable and bored. June wants more. And on the eve of the new year, when the radio DJ encourages listeners to make the most of it, June feels like he’s talking to her, and she decides to make a vision board — magazine cutouts, silver glitter and all.

Maybe 2022 is the year that June Cupido reinvents herself.

First off, I want to say that this title is so fitting! I asked myself what’s wrong with June more times than I can count while reading this book.

June is a Capetonian in her 40’s who just isn’t very happy with the life she’s living. She realised that her life revolves around everyone but her. She’s tired of trying to please everyone else and just needs time to figure out who she is.

June makes a vision board and realises that she’s missed out on so many things (she can’t even swim). She’s saved all this money but never actually spent it on something for herself. Realising that her life isn’t what she’d hoped, she hops on a plane to Mauritius.

While June is in Mauritius she learns so many new things about herself. She also starts trying new things. She gets to try dim sum and even takes swimming lessons! But are the small changes enough to make her happy?

This book made me feel all sorts of things. I realised that maybe I shouldn’t sit back and skip out on certain opportunities. Maybe I should go out with those friends, or go for that hike.

I highly, highly recommend this book! You won’t be sorry that you picked it up!

Alice Feeney's "Good Bad Girl" is a gripping suspense novel filled with intricate storylines, sharp writing, and unexpected plot twists. While it didn't quite reach the level of brilliance seen in "Daisy Darker" for me, it remains a compelling read.

“There is always a reason why people behave the way that they do. Sometimes bad people are just sad people in disguise.”

In this mystery drama, Feeney excels at delivering mind-bending surprises that keep readers on their toes. The narrative is full of shocking revelations and twists that will leave you guessing until the end.

“Maybe all villains are the heroes of their own stories.”

The author's craftsmanship shines through in the purposeful use of coincidences and the razor-sharp wit displayed in her writing. Every sentence serves a meaningful purpose, contributing to the overall suspense of the story.

“People always have choices, they just pretend not to in order to feel better about making bad ones.”

Central to the narrative are the interconnected female characters whose lives intertwine in surprising ways. Feeney explores their psyches, uncovering their vulnerabilities and hidden secrets.

“When someone you love becomes someone you can’t, it is the very worst kind of heartbreak.”

While the multiple POVs and timelines may require patience to navigate, they ultimately add layers of complexity and suspense to the story. The short, tension-building chapters keep the pacing tight, and the reader engaged.

“People spend too long adjusting to the light instead of the dark, it’s why they are so unprepared when bad things happen to them.”

Feeney's meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the novel, with seemingly insignificant clues playing crucial roles in the plot's development. Rest assured, there are no loose ends left dangling as Feeney ties up all story threads neatly by the end.

“The world is full of people who are good at being bad, and people who are bad at being good.”

For readers who enjoyed "The Push" by Ashley Audrain, "Good Bad Girl" offers a similar exploration of motherhood, secrets, and psychological tension.

“Everybody has a mother, but not everybody has a mother’s love.”

Dive into this deceptive maze of a novel, embrace the unexpected twists, and appreciate Feeney's clever storytelling. Just remember to stay sharp and question everything you read.

“A good book can be a light in the darkness. A good book can cure loneliness, change minds, or even change the world. A good book is nothing less than magic.”

A beautiful mix of Welsh folklore, creepy settings, and well-written suspense.

"The Shadow Key" by Susan Stokes-Chapman is a beautiful mix of Welsh folklore, creepy settings, and well-written suspense. This book takes place in a rough coastal village and tells the story of a world where secrets are buried like ancient artefacts, waiting to be found.

Ambient and Mysterious: You can feel the gothic atmosphere of the book from the very beginning. The misty cliffs, the creaking manor, and the soft winds make for a creepy but interesting setting. Stokes-Chapman's vivid writing makes landscapes come to life, letting readers feel the haunting beauty of Wales.

Medium-Paced Tension: The pace is just right, with the right amount of urgency and time to think. Some readers may want things to happen very quickly, but the slow pace of the story lets characters grow and the supernatural parts be explored more deeply. The tension builds slowly, and we don't know what will happen until the very end.

Beautiful writing and well-researched details: Stokes-Chapman's writing is one of the best parts. Her words flow together like poetry, making you feel and think. She pays great attention to detail, whether she's writing about the salty taste of the sea or the smell of old books. The folklore that is used in the story feels real, which shows that a lot of research went into it.

Growth as an Author: After reading Stokes-Chapman's first book, "Pandora," I like how her stories have gotten better. The author is better at building suspense and character arcs in "The Shadow Key" than in "The Shadow Key." It's clear that the author has worked hard at her craft and has a lot of confidence in herself.

Teasing Mystical and Paranormal Threads: There are hints of supernatural forces in the book that make it exciting. Around the edges, shadows move, and old symbols hide meanings. Stokes-Chapman skillfully strikes a balance between doubt and interest, leaving readers eager for more information.

Engaging Plot Twists: The plot changes quickly just when you think you've solved the mystery. The unexpected links between characters and the surfacing of long-kept secrets keep the pages turning. Each turn is like a clue that leads you deeper into the mystery.

Eerie Prologue: The tone is set by the prologue. It stays in the reader's mind and casts a shadow over the next chapters. Stokes-Chapman does a great job of making people feel uneasy.

Well-Developed Protagonists: Dr. Henry Talbot, a disgraced London physician, serves as Lord Julian Tresilian's private physician in a Welsh village. His outsider status clashes with local superstitions as he investigates his predecessor's death, uncovering village secrets. Linette Tresilian, the unconventional mistress of Plas Helyg, deals with loneliness and haunted memories due to family tragedy, sensing something amiss in the village. Her character adds depth to the atmospheric setting and unfolding mystery.

"The Shadow Key" is scary because it combines folklore, suspense, and well-drawn characters. Stokes-Chapman's beautiful writing makes you want to explore the past's hidden rooms, where keys hold both answers and dangers. Go into the shadows with this interesting book if you want a book that stays with you like a half-remembered dream.

Genre: Gothic, Mystery, Paranormal

Wow

This book is probably one of the most captivating and addictive book I've ever read in my life if you see this book and you want to read it but you're scared of the size of the book since it's pretty uncommon for a romance book to be so thick don't be this book is a 100% worth it and in the end you really will wish that it was longer and just a PSA for this book it is a cry a you will cry if you're an emotional person even way it's pretty sad and emotional book and just to let you know it ends on a cliffhanger so be aware of that but I just want to say after binding 13 please read keeping 13 because I do not want to see any bad reviews about how it ends on a cliffhanger because I promise you keeping 13 is even better so if you see this review I hope that this convinces you to read it because you will think about this work on a daily basis and I think about this book at least once a day so I hope this is your sign to read it and I hope this review helped you

Absolute Masterpiece!!

This is a fast-paced, action-packed book. I never wanted to put it down and Lee Child is such a good writer. You are included in the story, it's like watching a movie on paper. And if you can't get enough, don't worry there is a lot more where this came from! The books don't necessary follow each other so you can start with anyone. Also there is an amazing adaption of the book into a series 'Reacher' on Amazon Prime!
