If you want a fast-paced, quick read that will have you on the edge of your seat, look no further. I have read several of Parks' books, and they have all been five stars. I am happy to say that this one will join that club as well.

Can't Wait Wednesday-The Souls of Lost Lake

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing The Souls of Lost Lake by Jaime Jo Wright. It is set to be released on April 5, 2022. I have loved all the books I have read of hers (and I have a nice back list to catch up on 😀), so I have high expectations for this one as well!

Edgewater Road is unlike any book I have read by Shelley Shepard Gray. Her typical genre is Amish Christian romance, so this one took me by surprise. This is the first book in The Rumors in Ross County series a contemporary fiction romance.
