Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way for mom to spend a little chill time than curled up with a good book? Well… ok, to be fair, possibly some time with you might make her happy too, but after you go home, to your room or wherever it is you go, I bet mom would like to snuggle up with a good book. I know I would!
The Sins of the Mother by Danielle Steel
Family dynamics are complicated, old disappointments die hard
Due to building her successful empire, Olivia Grayson missed out on much of her children’s lives. On a dream trip to the Mediterranean, one she hopes will help bridge the gap in her family, things don’t go exactly as planned. Danielle Steel, needs no introduction she has over 141 novels under her belt!
The Cradle Will Fall by Mary Higgins Clark
From the undisputed Queen of Suspense, this is an oldie, but a goodie! So good in fact that it was made into a movie back in 2004.
Medical Examiner Richard Carroll saw a trail of death leading to the famous Doctor Highley’s work. The same Doctor that is scheduled to operate on country prosecutor Katie DeMaio.
That night from her hospital window, Katie thinks she sees a man load a woman’s body into the trunk of a car. Did she? or was it a drug induced nightmare? You better read this one and find out!
The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter
After watching their mom get killed, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn were forced into the woods at gunpoint. One of them ran, the other was left behind. Twenty-eight years after blocking it out, the good daughter returns, and the devastating secrets of that night finally resurface.
Everything from Karin Slaughter is so perfectly twisted! This one had me covering my eyes, trying to read parts of it through the gaps in my fingertips!
It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover
This book picks up right where It Ends With Us left off. I know.. it seems like those two books are backwards in succession, but I promise, they’re not.
Told from two different points of view, this book focuses on Atlas’s journey, then and now, and follows Lily’s path as she finally embraces true love. This series is so good. They adapted It Ends With Us into a movie, I hope they do the same with this one. It Starts With Us is the type of book that you can curl up in your easy chair next to the fireplace and just get lost in the words.
