Find Me by Lisa Jackson had me in its grip from the first page to the last. What a book – it’s creepy, suspenseful, and disturbing which are all qualities I enjoy in a book. It had me on the edge of my seat for much of it. I finished this book last week and still haven’t been able to get it out of my head. I always find psychological thrillers freak me out some because things happen in them that could actually occur in life. It’s like watching Criminal Minds or some such show.
Detective D.D. Warren arrives on the scene of a homicide different from most. The apparent victim turned the tables on her abductor before he could hurt her. This victim is Flora Dane and she is a survivor – a woman who can take care of herself. As a college student Flora had been held prisoner for 472 days and she learned just how much a person can take or how far they can be pushed. When she was rescued she vowed that nobody would ever hold that kind of power over her again and she learned everything there was to know about self defence and how to survive a situation such as she had been in. There is only one thing – Flora Dane has decided to rid the world of as many of these psychopaths as she can even at great risk to herself.
The story itself goes in between the past and present. Reading about Flora’s abduction and the life she had to endure was definitely hard to read and not so much because the novel itself is explicit but my mind has no problem imagining anything it needs to. I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by Kirsten Potter who I really enjoy listening to. She did an awesome job of making this story even more alive and thrilling!
Highly recommended for those who love suspenseful psychological thrillers!

A reader always has those authors that they love because their books draw you in and don’t let go. You love their characters and their stories. Even more you love the way their books make you feel. Joshilyn Jackson is one of those authors for me. The Opposite of Everyone has all of these qualities and more. I devoured this book in a day and now find myself missing the characters and their lives. The Opposite of Everyone is a moving story of life, love, and family. Utterly fantastic!
Having read The Uninvited by Cat Winters and loving it I was really excited to read Yesternight. What a fantastic story! Cat Winters has become one of my favorite authors and I eagerly wait for each new book she writes. I began Yesternight in the morning and finished it by the end of the day. I could not listen fast enough as the story unfolded and became more and more intriguing with each passing moment. This particular novel is historical fiction with a mystical element that is sure to please any reader.
