Review: Breakdown: A Thriller

Breakdown: A Thriller by Jordan Vezina
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Bonafide series just seems to continually amp up in action and intrigue. Within the pages of this book, we have a rescue from a corrupt mental hospital, a plot to assassinate a head of state, and a threat to release a deadly pathogen. That's not even beginning to discuss the interpersonal dynamics and mental health issues, which are impeccably described. If you like 80s political thrillers/action stories/espionage tales, this is the book for you.

One thing to note - you definitely need to read the first two Bonafide books to have the full picture, and will definitely be eagerly awaiting the eventual fourth entry into the series... I know I am.

ARC given by author in exchange for my honest review.

Review: His & Hers

His & Hers by Alice Feeney
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Quite a twisty thriller- definitely one you need to pay close attention. Not only are there three POVs (the female news reporter, the male detective, and the killer), but there are multiple flashbacks to various different episodes throughout their lives. On top of it all, there's an active murder investigation and a serial killer on the loose! Literally everyone is a suspect and there are many well-executed red herrings.

Great performances in the audiobook version, which I received as an ARC from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
