Spotlight for BBNYA (Book Bloggers Novel of the Year Awards) Semi-Finalist "All the Why's of Delilah's Demise" by Neve Maslakovic

   
Synopsis: 
A future Seattle where popularity is everything. The mysterious death of the #1. And an elusive killer. 

A rocky year into adulthood and lacking a personal brand, Scottie is skidding toward the bottom spot on the People's List-- which brings a short ride out of the Dome of New Seattle and into  the deadly cold. When a brand finally falls into her lap, it's a disastorous one: Scottie is accused of causing the death of the longtime #1, a charismatic stage actress named Delilah. 

Aided by her "Watson" the companion her brain chip provides, Scottie scrambles to uncover the person who framed her--and who killed Delilah. Motives in the circle Delilah frequented-a tight group of the town's social stars-abound. What Scottie unearths will shake the very foundation of her world..and place her squarely in the crosshairs of a shadowy killer intent on clearing a path to #1. 

All the Why's of Delilah's Demise: a whodunit set in an all-too-possible future where brand is everything.

  For this month i'll be doing Spin the Bottle TBR Challenge basically like the game Spin the Bottle but instead of using people as choices you use Books (If you follow me on IG or are friends with me on Facebook you'll get to see my recorded videos in my stories throughout November), Yearly Reading Challenge, Book Photo Challenges and Once Upon a Readathon on Youtube. 

Most of my books for November are Mystery and Fantasy which also marks the last month to read these kind of books before my All Christmas/Winter TBR comes out on December 1st!! 

What Books will you be reading this month?! What challenges will you be participating in this month?! Are there any books here you've read that are on my TBR  this month?! If so let me know in the comments below, i love to hear from my followers!! 

Until Next time, Happy Reading :) 

#OctoberWrapup

  
This month i read a total of 16 books 15 physical and 1 Ebook, 4 less then last month but that's because October has been slightly busier then September was.

The only ones i didnt enjoy was The Change, Missing Witches and The Resting Place mainly because too much descriptiveness and not enough dialog about the story or topic that it was supposed to be about. 

Are there any here that you've read?! Did you love it or just like them or DNF them?! If so let me know in the comments below!!

Review: 
Thank you to Travelling Page Tours and Brooke L French for sending me this FREE ARC COPY for them as part of The Blog Tour!! 

This was my first time reading a book by Brooke so i wasnt sure what to expect especially when i've never read a Thriller about Human Rabies before but surprisingly i enjoyed it very much and ended up loving it by the end. 

The Characters were so interesting to read about. Letty is by far my favorite character cause i could really relate to how she was feeling after losing a loved one since i lost My Dad 11 months ago and since this book got into my feelings with the part of Letty's story is mainly why i rated it 5 Stars!! 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Chattanooga Tennessee especially when the scenery was described. 

Im glad this book didnt get very graphic cause that would of been a big turn off for me since i hate when books get too graphic so for me this book offered a good amount of Graphic description for my taste. 

I do wish this was a part of a series cause i'd love to see where Letty and the rest of the characters are now and what their next case would be. 

Overall a Phenomenal Thriller about Human Rabies taking over a Southern Town Set in 2018!! Can't wait to read more by Brooke in the future!!

Review for How to Succeed in Witchcraft by Aislinn Brophy

  
Rating: 4 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to BookishFirst for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a Raffle Giveaway on their website last month!! 

This was my first time reading a book by Debut Author Aislinn Brophy so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i did enjoy parts of this book tho i do admit i have read better books about Witchcraft. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. My favorites were Shay and Lex i loved their witty banter which reminded me alot of OG Charmed and Sabrina the Teenage Witch Sitcom. I wish there had been more descriptiveness of their backgrounds. 

The Setting was interesting as well. I really felt like i was actually in the book with the characters at times. 

I could of did without the High School Childish Drama cause i feel like YA books concentrate on that too much opposed to telling the sotry of what the book is about, Also i wish this book was part of a series cause i'd LOVE to see where Shay, Lex and the other characters would be in the coming year. 

Overall a Good YA Fantasy about 3 Teen Girls entering a Witch School!! I will probably read more by Aislinn in the future pending on what her other books will be about.

Review for The Harpy's Lullaby (Devil's Trill Series #2) by NB Saltsman

  
Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Librarything and NB Saltsman for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway on Librarything.com last month!! 

This was my 2nd time reading a book in this series by NB and i have to say she is starting to be a Favorite Thriller, Mystery and Horror author of mine even tho i wish this book would of been as good as Book 1 was. 

The Characters were interesting and enjoyable to read about. Kayla is still a favorite character of mine and same as in Book 1 i didnt care for the other characters as much. 

The Setting was OK like in Book 1 i wish NB had described the setting of the book better then she did cause im still curious to know WHERE the book is supposed to be set in as in Town, Country and Year. 

I do wish The Prologue and Chapters 1-3 were more informative about Elisa's death instead of talking about Lucifer for the first 40 pages of the book. 

Overall it was a Good Book 2 in this Thriller Series about Excorcism's!! I will read Book 3 when it comes out next year but i hope the first 40 pages of it are better then this one was.

Review for The Devil's Trill (Devil's Trill Series #1) by N.B. Saltsman

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
I truly wouldnt of read this one if it wasnt for me winning Book 2 ina Giveaway on Librarything last month!! 

This was my first time reading a book by this author and since this book was based off of the movie, The Exorcism i wasnt sure if i'd like it or not but surprisingly i enjoyed it very much. 

The Characters were very interesting to read about. Kayla was my favorite character. I didnt care for Ashley, Ellie, Father and Elisa's parents much because of how mean and nasty they were to Kayla, The Certified Doctor in Demonology. 

The Setting was OK but wish it had been described better cause i was hoping to learn more about where the Book is Set in. 

Overall a Good Thriller based on the movie, The Exorcism!! Can't wait to read Book 2 very soon!!

Review for Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Goodreads and Gallery Books for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway on Goodreads early last year!! This was my first time reading a book by Katherine Faulkner so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i LOVED this one so much and is one of THE BEST Thrillers ive read in awhile!! 

I was supposed to read this one in September 2021 BUT due to My Dad's unexpected illness and death in May 2021 and November 2021 i kept pushing it back cause my mind set wasnt right to read it but now i wish i had read this last year cause this was THE BEST Thriller ive read in awhile!! 

The Characters were so interesting and fun to read about. I LOVED all the characters and i do have to say i was SHOCKED beyond belief at who ended up being The Evil Friend  cause i truly thought it was Rachel so the fact that this was not predictable as other Thrillers were is why im rating it 5 Stars!! 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Greenwich Park while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

I wish this was part of a series cause i'd LOVE to see where Helen, Rachel and Serena are now. 

Overall a PHENOMENAL Thriller of 2021!! Can't wait to read more by Katherine in the future!!
