I chose this Kindle Unlimited because it was a very short read (around 200 pages). I will say the pace was quick and headed straight into "train wreck" territory!
If you are looking for an afternoon distraction and don't mind an OTT plot, this one was readable.
Lots of disturbing people doing disturbing things!
I did like the author's writing style though, it is to the point and moves quickly.

Betty Lou is a struggling author and a therapist (with a BIG secret). I guess you could call her Author-Doctor?? She lives in a historic mansion in a quiet coastal town.
More than one of the characters are certifiable bat-sh*t craaaazy! Ulterior motives, some nightmarish scenes, a cabin in the woods, and a shot in the dark. There are more than a few plot holes I questioned, but I liked the end.
This novella is part of a standalone domestic suspense series. It is free on KU and the next comes out on Jan 20, 2023. I'll read it because I'm curious....more
Poor Joey, he tries so so hard! He is digging his own grave and can't seem to catch a break.

Poor Joey, he tries so so hard! He is digging his own grave and can't seem to catch a break.
"No,no, no. This can't be happening." Lying isn't exactly his forte and his mind is working overtime trying to cover all his tracks. He is right in the middle of it!! He has no clue what to say to someone holding a loaded gun, his girlfriend is leaning hard on him and his mom is now dating a detective! (yep, just what he doesn't need)
Keep calm Joey. Keep calm.
It took a minute for me to get into, but around 22%, the ball was rolling fast! Here we goooo... The cliffhanger chapters and twisty turns kept the pages flying.
Fun, fast-paced, great ending. Loved it!
Read the ebook from KU and listened via Audible (I'm getting spoiled having both the book and audio)! Narrated by: Frazer Blaxland (thumbs up) / Length: 6 hrs and 19 mins...more

Poor Stella is working two jobs. She is waitressing on Christmas Eve and can't wait until closing time so she can go home to her husband. It is their very first Christmas together.
If she could get the last customer to leave, she could finally go home. Her co-worker decides to get in the ladies face! "We're closing....." I laughed so hard at this scene!
One thing leads to another...
This is a short story from KU. I read it in an hour and couldn't put it down. I was kinda horrified....more

"She knew what she heard"
Matt Jackson, a young US officer is hearing a crackle of static on his radio. He hears the "downton abbey voice" and the stakes are high.
A short story/listen ~ it has great narration, some "action" feels, emotion and intrigue. Recommend if you love special connections, Bletchley Park and code breakers history.
Too many unbelievable coincidences and uninvestigated happenings!

Too many unbelievable coincidences and uninvestigated happenings!
I had the ebook from KU and the audio from Hoopla.
It started off well and I liked the protag, Brooke and the prison setting. I could almost hear the prison doors slamming at Raker Maximum Penitentiary where Brooke is a new nurse practioner. She has a connection to an inmate that she is hiding, but it won't take long to come out.
The narration made it good enough to finish, but I wouldn't recommend.
