I feel like I’m being cynic with all the poor reviews I’m posting, but I swear all, my books haven’t been stellar 😅

This one is a train wreck I couldn’t stop reading. I almost found it funny how utterly stupid and disgusting the MC was. It was also ungodly overwritten by at least 100 pages. I was hoping for Verity vibes and ended up wondering what the point of the entire book was. I know it’s harsh but I really didn’t get this one.

🔹 My take - 4.24/5 

🔸 Her Too is story about Kelly McCann who is an ambitious lawyer who has never bowed down to defeat. She is brilliant in defending her clients who are generally men falsely accused of sexual crimes. She is hated by one and all since people believe she supports and defends wrong people. She is high on her success until one day when she is sexually assaulted in a way and manner which is indescribable as well as brutal deep down to the soul. She cannot speak else that will destroy her career and she cannot afford that with all the support she provides to her family and ailing husband. Follows a journey of soul finding, unearthing the truth, facing her demons and attaining peace with herself so she can carry on her life. 

💖 Wows - Clean bowled with this one…. This has been such an amazing read and interesting thriller. The start was paralysing and so painful that my blood literally boiled at what the antagonist did. Absolutely brutal and heartless…but fact is in reality such incidents do happen and it takes a lion’s heart to even hear the experience; let alone the fact of experiencing it. The thriller elements are covered at various junctures in the storyline and reader is always at the edge of the seat. 

💔 Ows - At times I did question Kelly’s intentions and line of thought but you can never predict a wounded tigress, can you? Also this is purely a thriller and not a mystery since loads of things were already revealed in the beginning. It was more of an execution as to how Kelly achieved her revenge and did trouble shooting when things went wrong because at every other point; the plan did go haywire. 🙂 

💫 This one is roller coaster with thrill, strong woman character, science and master planning rolled into it. Thriller lovers should like it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This was a really fast-paced read, even though it is not an easy one, as the subject matter is intense and personal. I disliked Kelly at first, but then as the story went on, i ended up liking her and thought she was a brilliant character. I instantly liked the other women, as their stories had me heartbroken, and I really rooted for them. There was murder, little turns in the plot, and a big twist at the end, which I loved! It was constantly going round in my head, who was murdering these women as I was reading. Overall, it was a really great story, but read the trigger warnings beforehand. ***
