Emerald! I loved this one. I actually listened to this one on audio while traveling and loved it. I think I now own all formats for this book! I love your style of writing. There were a lot of characters in this one and you wrote it seamlessly! I actually had no clue where this ending was taking us. I guessed so many times and in the end was totally wrong. So good!

I binge read this book. It kept my attention the whole time and ended with a twist. Must read!

A group of friends get together for a weekend party at an isolated house. With a plot like that, I was immediately drawn to this story. Add the fact that a mysterious stranger (a woman) shows up after a car accident, then disappears, and the foundation of the book is strong. I couldn’t wait to dive in! The night of the party everyone is drinking, and no one has a clear memory of what happened the next morning. There are conflicting stories about what took place, and soon the police are involved, along with whispers of murder.
I wanted to love this book, but I had problems with how most of the characters behaved, especially how easily they believed lies that were put forth about other members of their group. I just couldn’t believe friends would behave that way--turning on each other so quickly, after knowing one another for years. Maybe one or two people in the group, but the majority, if not all?
Pretty much no one (with the exception of Tabitha, the narrator, who is going through a divorce) is who they seem. Each has an agenda, many are up to their necks in lies or coverups. Admittedly, there were several places where I couldn’t read fast enough to discover what happened. The book is well-written, but when the ending arrived, I found the plot too far-fetched and the behavior of the characters unrealistic. I’m sure many other readers will enjoy this story. I would read this author again, this story just wasn’t quite right for me. 3.5 Stars.

Started off pretty well but the ending got way too convoluted, it was kind of difficult to follow. Also really over the narrator being drunk and thus an unreliable narrator. Ready for something new in thrillers.

Suspenseful thrillers are my favorite type of read! can never get enough! What She Found was great. It was twisted and full of edge of your seat suspense. Some things were a bit far-fetched, but it still makes for a great story! This book is definitely worth a read!

This book was just not very good. Every character (especially the protagonist) was constantly making unbelievable stupid decisions, and somehow despite being so short, there's a LOT of extraneous detail. Not even red herrings really, just information that doesn't matter at all. The final confrontation with the culprit is ridiculous. Some bits were genuinely creepy though so I gave it 2 stars.
