Product Information

I read on my Kindle and also listened to the audio narrated by Karissa Vacker, who did a wonderful job with the voicing across genders and ages. Huge thanks to Vanessa and her publisher for giving us this early sneak peek—I can’t wait to read BLOOD SISTERS this fall!

I pretty much figured out what happened in the past before it was all revealed, but I was wrong with my guesses about Mason's disappearance and who was responsible. We who are shaped and mutate through our good and bad experiences, and sometimes unrecognisable but certainly different from our earlier decades. Plagued by insomnia, she barely sleeps as she relentlessly pursues any possible clue to Mason’s whereabouts.

Hesitant at first, Isabelle eventually acquiesces to this request, figuring that as a True Crime devotee, Waylon has just as much incentive to help solve the case and bring Mason back. My only quibble is that sometimes the emotion is Isabelle’s voice could’ve been reigned in just a teeny tiny bit, but that’s just personal preference. Instead, ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS shines thanks to its superb character development and the effective way in which it draws readers into its protagonist’s increasingly unstable state of mind. I walk past him, to the edge of the stage, and stand behind a black curtain, the audience just barely obscured from view.

All-in-all it’s a fantastic second outing by Stacy Willingham and an excellent thriller to end my year!I’ll start with the negatives first since there are only two - and they don’t warrant taking off any stars.

She isn't sleeping at all and she goes to different true crime conventions in the hope that she can get the word out about her son. the pacing is good, the reveals are timed well, the characters have depth to them, and i enjoyed how the past is woven into the present. Willingham has a tendency to use more words than are necessary to say the most basic of things so it takes forever for her to just get to the point. When I read that one, I remember thinking it was thisclose to being a true four star, but fell solidly short.
