🎧A Wrinkle in Time 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Deadly Influence 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Another month gone, they just seem to fly by these days.
The weather is getting nicer and I am looking forward to lounging outside in the sun relaxing with a book but first outside chores must be done. Top of the list is weeding the flower beds and getting the garden planted. Gonna need to have the Aleve handy. 😄
This year for me has been about reading when I can and not getting frustrated with myself when my completed numbers are low. Normally I would be very disappointed in only finishing 2 books, but I am learning to stop comparing my numbers to others and just be happy that I had the extra time for those two. Life is crazy busy some times and we need to give ourselves more credit. I am happy. I am healthy. I love my family and the life I live. That’s enough for me. I know that I will have big reading months and slow months, but it’s not a competition, just enjoy it when I can.

A Wrinkle in Time – (Middle Grade, Classic, Sci-Fi) Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin are visited by three mysterious women, Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which. They have come to help the children retrieve their father who went missing. A scientist who works on classified experiments for the government was on assignment when all communications with his family stopped.
“A straight line is not the shortest distance between two points” rather a tesseract, or creating a wrinkle in the fabric of space, is. The children must tesser to another planet in order to save their father, and the universe, from The Darkness.

A Deadly Influence – (Thriller,Police Procedural) Hostage negotiator Abby Mullen gets a call from a fellow cult survivor Eden. Eden’s son has been kidnapped and the ransome is $5 million . As Abby gets further into the investigation, her past is coming back to haunt her.

Blurb:
Lieutenant Abby Mullen is no stranger to crisis. As the hostage negotiation instructor for the NYPD, she deals with worst-case scenarios every day. Nothing fazes her anymore.

That all changes when she gets a call from Eden Fletcher, a fellow survivor of the infamous Wilcox cult. The two haven’t spoken since the night of a tragic, fiery massacre, when their paths diverged. But now Eden needs Abby’s help: someone has kidnapped her son and is demanding a $5 million ransom. As Abby throws herself into the case, she can’t help but wonder why the kidnapper has targeted Eden. But Eden refuses to talk. She’s silent about the relics of their shared past hanging on her walls. About the kidnapper’s possible motives. About what’s happened in the years since she and Abby parted ways.

As the truth closes in, Abby realizes that her past may not be as far behind as she thought…and it’s come home to collect.
