✒️ HAPPY PUB WEEK! ✒️ Couldn't post this on release day Tuesday, so wanted to make sure and squeeze this in today to say a very happy pub week to @lynnereevesgriffin and DARK RIVERS TO CROSS, from @crookedlanebooks! Thanks so much to @mbc_books for sending me an ARC of the book. I loved Lynne's last book, THE DANGERS OF AN ORDINARY NIGHT, and was excited to read this one. I'm over halfway through now, and it's so good. A domestic thriller like her last, this one deals sensitively with domestic violence and its aftermath (please note: there are scenes of DV, so be forewarned). I'm looking forward to seeing how this one ends! ✒️ Q: Tell me something you are thankful for today! A: I'm so thankful for @mbc_books! The team at Meagan Beattie Communications is kind, generous, and amazing to work with, especially Stephanie Elliott, who is always so good to me. Thank you, ladies, for everything! ✒️ ✒️ ✒️ #darkriverstocross #thedangersofanordinarynight #lynnereeves #lynnereevesgriffin #crookedlanebooks #domesticviolence #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticthriller #domesticthrillers #domesticthrillerbooks #domesticthrillerbook #domesticabuse #newrelease #newreleases #novemberreads #novemberrelease #novemberrelease2022 #mbcbooks #meaganbeattie #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booktography #bookkeepingblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CkyiPYsru2X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎭 PUB DAY BOOK REVIEW! 🎭 Happy pub day to THE DANGERS OF AN ORDINARY NIGHT by @lynnereevesgriffin 🎉🎉 The lovely Stephanie at @mbc_books was kind enough to send me an ARC, and I am so glad I read this one. It's a mystery/thriller, but a quieter one with more character study and the "stuff of everyday life." It's marketed as a domestic suspense, which makes sense, since it's ultimately about families and the secrets that can tear them apart--parents keeping secrets about their relationship from their kids, kids keeping secrets from parents, people keeping secrets from police, people keeping secrets *for* their families...all of these can break us in ways we might not expect. As a mom, this story is also a sobering reminder that we usually don't know our kids as well as we think we do, especially as they get older and more independent and start keeping secrets of their own (which is terrifying as the mother of a 13 year old!). I think a question that one of the characters asks sums up the book well: "Do you think someone can be good but make bad decisions? Or if someone does bad things, they've been bad all along?" Having studied law, having advocated for criminal justice lawyers and their clients, and having lobbied for fairer criminal justice laws, this is a question I've pondered at length. Overall, this is a fantastic read and one that I devoured in two sittings. Highly recommend this one! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (FYI: I'm going to post a slightly longer review on Goodreads because there's a spoiler issue I want to discuss, so head over there if you'd like to read more (link in bio). And if you've read the book and want to discuss, DM me!) 🎭 🎭 🎭 #thedangersofanordinarynight #lynnereeves #lynnereevesgriffin #domesticsuspense #domesticsuspensebook #familysecrets #theatre #acting #teenagegirls #teenagers #mystery #mysterybooks #suspensethriller #suspense #suspensebooks #drugaddiction #mbc_books #meganbeatiecommunications #booknooksleeves #arcreview #bookreview #bookreviewer #BookKeepingBlog #5starread #5starreview #5stars #happybookbirthday #pubday #releaseday #newreleasetuesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CWEbNa_r1iH/?utm_medium=tumblr
