Product Information

Rare Andera & Stone ACCIDENTAL GENIUS Del Monico Books 2012 First Edition HC/DJ [Hardcover] Lisa Stone Intertwined with Jan's tale, is a story of a couple, Ian and Emma, who have lost one baby during childbirth and just lost another during a home birth. This isn't just a case of a tragic stillbirth. There was something horribly wrong with both of their children, and Ian is determined to understand why. I loved how atmospheric this book was! It starts out so creepy and even throughout the book, I had moments where I was still pretty creeped out. I loved that as it’s not really easy to do for me. I would give the book 5 stars just for the overall creepy but not scary or gross (horror) balance that the author was able to keep me in. Very suspensful! Jan refuses to be scared off but whatever is happening isn't going to stop anytime soon and the nightmare is only just beginning.

The Cottage – HarperCollins

All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. I can take no more. This will be a did not finish for me. I almost plummeted deliberately off the ladder just to make it end. Could anyone with an actual brain read this awful nonsense? The midwife who delivers the so-called dead babies (obviously they weren't dead) has been keeping them because she knew they'd die soon and that would distress the parents? Seriously? She works full time but has a house full of babies and children with birth defects she's tending to and loving until they die to save the parents having to go through this? Uh huh. A house full of mutant children and babies. And she works full time. And the neighbours know nothing. But this life is better for the children than remaining with their own parents until they die. Uh huh. How old is this author? I'm guessing she's never had a baby herself or known anyone who did? When a horrible crime is committed, Jacob’s family must confront their darkest fears. Has the boy that they raised become a monster? Or could somebody else be to blame? I expected this story to be about Jan and the mystery about an isolated cottage at the edge of a wood. But then other sub-plots were introduced (Ian+Emma, detective) and I thought why I'm reading about them? What they have to do with the Cottage Jan rented?? It made more sense as the story progress and I realized where author heads with this story. Ben and Emily move in next door to Dr. Burman and Anita, his wife, they’re keen on getting to know their new neighbors. Emily, sociable and outgoing, attempts to befriend the doctor’s wife, yet Anita is oddly subdued, hardly leaves the house, and is terrified of even answering her phone.This is one of those books, once started, the reader will not want to put down. The atmosphere is dark .. with an isolated cottage set alongside a forest, devoid of light and full of shadows. Well written, the story line is positively full of many twists and turns that lead to an unexpected conclusion. All medical data atrocious ... a phenomenon from medicine is borrowed and twisted and altered to ridiculous extents. Completed the book,perhaps I have a masochist tendency . As a writer of suspense thrillers I often ask myself what if? What if this happened instead of that? Or why a particular person reacted as they did. So often fact is stranger than fiction and these books start with a fact which I develop. You may be surprised to know, for example, just how many patients experience changes in their likes and dislikes after a transplant operation ~ The Darkness Within. Or how easy it is to look into someone’s home through their CCTV ~ Stalker.

That said, Lisa has not always been a reader. She didn’t read too much as a child, however during her teens she found this whole new world suddenly and read true life, crime, mystery, and the classics. It was pretty easy to work out some of the twist. Also I have to say that at times it sounded repetitive, unrealistic, too contrived, too difficult to buy into the story line. Some of the POVs felt unnecessary and more like fillers than of any importance. Derek Flint is a loner. He lives with his mom and spends evenings watching his clients on the CCTV cameras that he has installed inside of their homes. He enjoys their companionship, even if it is only through a screen.

For one thing, the author is simply too prolific for quality to enter the equation. She has a good working idea of how these things are done and plies the formula. Flat writing and flat characters and a thoroughly predictable plot included. After losing her job and boyfriend, Jan Hamlin is in desperate need of a fresh start. So she jumps at the chance to rent a secluded cottage on the edge of Coleshaw Woods. The Doctor” is the third stand alone novel and was released in 2019. How much do you really know about the couple living next door?Jan launches into her own investigation about what is going on. There are a couple side stories involved that are seemingly unrelated, but the author ties it all together. I figured out the primary plot twist almost immediately, and though there were a couple other surprises, I still found the book to be predictable, as well as unrealistic. That being said, it definitely is creepy and the author does a great job of creating a haunting atmosphere. Absolutely brilliant! … Read in less than 24 hrs. I couldn’t put it down. Every chapter is gripping … Bookbub 5 * review A series of crimes hits his neighborhood, and DC Beth Mayes starts suspecting that he is involved. How could he know so much about the lives of the victims? Why won’t he allow anybody into his office? And what’s his mom hiding in that lonely, odd house? This is a really unusual story. It's definitely a thriller, but it had a real horror movie feel to it. If I had to sum it up, I would say it was a mixture of The Strangers and Offspring. It was super creepy and unsettling, even if it was pretty predictable.
