From the moment I started Tenderness, I became involved with the characters and was very curious about where they would be when the book ended. This isn't to say that I liked them or even found them easy to understand, but I definitely cared about them. The issues the characters faced were difficult. Most of action in the book happens at a destination wedding which takes place over a long weekend providing for moments of reflection and looking back over what happened prior to the wedding.

I enjoyed the author's writing very much. Her descriptions are excellent; I felt I could actually see what was happening. I believe this would be an excellent choice for a book group. Discussing the characters, their actions and their decisions would provide opportunities for discussion. I feel certain there would be disagreements on how characters acted which always provides for good interaction among book club members.

I will look forward to reading other books by this author and thank BookBrowse and NetGalley for allowing to read Tenderness and offer some thoughts.

I loved the first chapter of Somebody Worth Killing. I was drawn in immediately by the setting and how the author described where main character was and how they felt. Since I enjoy mysteries with complicated characters I was very interested in where the author was going with this novel.

However, I know there are readers who really want relatable and likable characters so I am not sure that if this is something a reader needs, I am not sure this book will meet that need.

I found Somebody Worth Killing to be as easy read with twists that were supported by the narrative. I enjoy a "good" twist but am not impressed with twists that are just thrown in. I was extremely interested in what was going to happen to the characters.
I believe readers who enjoy thrillers/mysteries with complicated characters will enjoy this book.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book and I wish the author every success with the novel.
