📚 #AllTheDangerousThings 👀 what did you do with your Saturday? Well I definitely didn't spend all day on the couch listening to an audiobook... Or did I? Okay I did! But it was needed and well worth it. All The Dangerous Things was a sensational second novel by @stacyvwillingham It was full of typical southern charm laced with intrigue and heartache. The twists and turns keep you guessing with every chapter as the main character, Isabelle, is peeled back, layer by layer, like an onion. You worry with her, you hate with her, you emphasize with her, you grieve with her. Over and over again. The authors note at the end solidified my thoughts on how revisiting childhood trauma can be helpful in certain circumstances. I won't say anymore because I don't want to give any spoilers. All in all Willingham did it again with a thriller that I couldn't predict! I need more like this in my life. Read this book! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ P.S. I was not on the couch the entire day. While listening to the book I did five loads of laundry and organized the house. So rather productive if I do say so myself. 🗣️ "...and shadows don't move on their own" ⁉️ #QOTD What is the quickest you have read a book? #stacywillingham #bookstagram #books #booklover #book #bookworm #bookstagrammer #reading #bookish #bookaddict #booknerd #bibliophile #instabook #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #read #bookaholic #booksbooksbooks #bookphotography #bookshelf #booklove #bookreview #bookcommunity #instabooks #booklovers #reader #igreads #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-8MarrJKW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After the success of last year's A Flicker in the Dark, Stacy Willingham is back with a new thriller - All the Dangerous Things. "Isabelle Drake hasn't slept in a year - not since her young son was taken from her house. Everyone is telling her she needs to move on - her ex-husband, the police. But Isabelle knows he's still out there somewhere. She agrees to be interviewed by a True Crime podcaster to shake things up and hopefully find new leads. But his interest in her past makes her nervous. And long buried memories are making her question what really happened that night..." Willingham does a wonderful job capturing the desperation from Isabelle. There are several red herrings leading you to think the story will end one way but Willingham has other plans. The twisty reveal is a "Wait - What?" moment and then the twists keep coming. Glad to have a thriller set here in the southeast. (So many stories from the Low Country are formula romance ) Karissa Vacker gives a fabulous performance with multiple male and female characters. But it's her portrayal of Isabelle that pulls you in - the desperation - the questioning of reality. Vacker adds much to the story. I think Willingham has gotten better with her 2nd novel and it's great to have her as a SC resident. Add this book to your list. #allthedangerousthings #stacywillingham #minotaurbooks #macmillanaudio #karissavacker#aflickerinthedark #southernthrillers #stmartinspress #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookphotography #bookcommunity #bookblogger #sodacityreads #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CmEZmOErAfY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fresh off her wonderful debut, A Flicker in the Dark, @stacyvwillingham is back with a new book - All the Dangerous Things. Lots of fantastic early reviews. It has pulled me in early.

«No hay nada peor que la falta de respuestas, no poder pasar página. La falta de certeza, a pesar de que todas las pruebas apuntan directamente a la cara de la horrible realidad que sabes en tu corazón que es cierta, pero que, sin cuerpo, no puedes probar. Siempre queda esa pizca de duda, esa pizca de esperanza. Pero la falsa esperanza es peor que no tener ninguna». No salgas de noche (Stacy Willingham) 🔪 Un thriller psicológico en el que conocemos a Chloe, una chica que intenta tener una vida normal, con un trabajo que le gusta y a punto de casarse con la persona que ama. Sin embargo, hace veinte años su vida cambió por completo cuando acusaron a su padre de una serie de asesinatos, y terminó en la cárcel, y ella señalada simplemente por ser su hija, la hija de un monstruo. Y ahora que todo parece irle bien, las desapariciones vuelven a empezar y ella cree que todo se repite de nuevo. Es un libro que, pese a sospechar de varias personas, y temer que sea previsible, consigue sorprenderte al final, y engancharte por la forma de estar escrito, por esos viajes de presente a pasado para saber, tanto lo que está ocurriendo, como lo que pasó. Muy reflexivo, y lleno de sentimientos, es muy fácil entender y empatizar con Chloe, y sufrir y dudar como ella sufre y duda. Y os lo recomiendo si os gustan los thrillers, las historias de asesinatos, la estructura de presente y pasado, y los libros en los que, pese a sospechar y hacerte tus propias teorias, al final consigue sorprenderte gratamente. 🔪 Tenéis la reseña completa en el blog. ¿Os pasáis a verla?

I received an advanced reader copy of A Flicker in the Dark from St. Martin’s Press via NetGalley, in return for my honest opinion. A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham is a story about childhood tragedies shaping who we become. The summer that Chloe Davis was twelve years old, six local teenage girls were killed. Chloe’s world came down that summer when her dad was arrested for the murders and her mom became a shell of her former self. Twenty years later, Chloe is still dealing with the traumas of that summer, planning her wedding and growing her private psychology practice. When a couple of local teenage girls go missing, Chloe thinks there must be a copycat criminal on the loose. As Chloe becomes obsessed with finding this criminal, everyone she knows will become a suspect and soon she’ll find herself with no bridges left to burn. This book moved too slow for my liking and I found most of the character to be unlikable. A Flicker in the Dark is available now. Goodreads Rating: 2/5 stars #stacywillingham #aflickerinthedark #netgalley #arcs #advancedreadercopy #mysery #mysterybooks #suspense #suspensebooks #readin2022 #stmartinspress #whatthebook #bookreviews #readersofinstagram #bookaholic @netgalley @stmartinspress https://www.instagram.com/p/CYphRaprizC/?utm_medium=tumblr

A Flicker in the dark is the debut novel from Stacy Willingham. “When Chloe Davis was twelve, six teenage girls went missing from her small Louisiana town. Her father was arrested as the killer and Chloe and her family are left to deal with the aftermath. 20 years later, Chloe is a psychologist in Baton Rouge and a couple of teenage girls go missing. It’s happening again and Chloe thinks she knows the killer…” This is an excellent debut from Willingham. Chloe has been through unimaginable trauma and has seemingly picked up the pieces. (Other than the self-prescribed medications) There are lots of clues and plenty of red herrings. You’ll probably guess the killer but it’s a wild ride to get there. Still don’t understand why fictional characters don’t check IDs 🤷🏼‍♂️ Wild ending with a twist 😮 Great debut from Willingham. Add this to your BOTM box if you haven’t already. #aflickerinthedark #stacywillingham #bookofthemonth #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #crimethriller #mysterythriller (at Irmo, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXi6VUnr1ES/?utm_medium=tumblr
