Incredible!!
An absolutely shocking and brilliantly crafted mystery about family secrets, lies, loss, and grief. I loved everything about this book. The story had me hooked from the first page. Jeneva Rose does an incredible job at keeping you on your toes and guessing until the very last page. I never knew where the story was going and was truly surprised by the ending. I loved the alternating points of view between the siblings and liked how we got to learn more deeply about each of them. I also found the plot twists to be absolutely jaw dropping. I highly recommend reading this book, it is one of the best murder mysteries I’ve read in a long time.

Good
The cover and story is what drew me in. I liked that the characters while very flawed, had their own story arcs they were going through. Oh and the mystery of course. This was quite the emotional rollercoaster of a read.

Trust Neither Blood Nor Bond
This book will leave you questioning just how well you know the people you deem closest to you, your most beloved family and friends. A reminder that the real monsters look just like you or I; they may lead seemingly successful lives that evoke envy, when they are the very thing our parents warned us of growing up. Sometimes, the people who protect us from monsters are the most dangerous ones.

We can only endure so much before we can’t anymore
This is the worst piece of “literature” I’ve ever had to endure. I try not to give 1 star reviews. I really do. However, this book made it so hard not to. Negatives: too many unnecessary POVs, far too many colloquialisms that didn’t need explaining, shallow and underwhelming characters that had no depth, it took far too long to get to the “twist ending,” and the writing reminded me more of a young adult novel. Positive: the cover art. It was also disgusting how the author used substance abuse for no reason other than to showcase it haphazardly. I honestly can’t understand the high ratings on this book other than they were purchased.

Thrilling!
Three estranged siblings, Beth, Nicole, and Michael, reunite after their mother, Laura, passes away. Their meetup is fraught with secrets and resentments, but they band together when they view an old VHS tape with a shocking scene. Their father, who disappeared seven years earlier, is covered in blood with a dead body as their mother films! They’re blown over, as this is not the loving and attentive parents they knew! Home is Where the Bodies Are was a riveting mystery! I was addicted from the first chapter! What happened years ago is told through their mother’s journals and more video tapes, but also from the three siblings’ recollection of past events. I had an idea of where some of it was going, but was surprised by the revelations, too! I listened intently as it wound up to a thrilling conclusion! The story is told through Beth, Nicole, and Michael’s perspectives, and through Laura’s journals. Each POV had a separate narrator, Beth: January LaVoy, Nicole: Brittany Pressley, Michael: Andrew Eiden, and Laura: Cassandra Campbell, who is a new-to-me narrator. I was thrilled to have a full cast of performers, ones I’ve enjoyed listening to many times in the past. It enhanced my “reading” experience, bringing the characters and story to life! I listened to my usual 1.5x normal speed and faster as the situation became more intense! I voluntarily listened to an audio copy courtesy of Blackstone Publishing. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
