What I Read Last Week | 3rd June - 9th June

Hi friends, so today we're going to be getting into what I read last week and how much of the book I read each day! This will include the Goodreads synopsis (which can sometimes contain spoilers) and my overall rating if I've finished them during the week!

Clementine's Parlor Of The Extraordinary And Curious | Monroe A Wildrose

"Clementine has always felt right at home in Fairvein, even if the island's occupants find her outlandish. With a shop full of magical oddities her life is exactly as she likes it. But when a royal elven guard shows up, demanding an item she doesn't have in stock, he insists she journeys with him to find it. A cheerful human and a stoic guard roam the country and may just find true love despite their differences."

ARC | Middle Of The Night | Riley Sager

"In the latest jaw - dropping thriller from New York Times bestselling author Riley Sager, a man must contend with the long - ago disappearance of his childhood best friend - and the dark secrets lurking just beyond the safe confines of his picture - perfect neighbourhood.

The worst thing to ever happen on Hemlock circle occurred in Ethan Marsh's backyard. One July night, ten - year - old Ethan and his best friend and neighbour, Billy, fell asleep in a tent set up on a manicured lawn in a quiet, quaint New Jersey cul de sac. In the morning, Ethan woke up alone. During the night, someone had sliced the tent open with a knife and taken Billy. He was never seen again.

Thirty years later, Ethan has reluctantly returned to his childhood home. Plagued by bad dreams and insomnia, he begins to notice strange things happening in the middle of the night. Someone seems to be roaming the cul de sac at odd hours, and signs of Billy's presence keep appearing in Ethan's backyard. Is someone playing a cruel prank? Or has Billy, long thought to be dead, somehow returned to Hemlock Circle?

The mysterious occurrences prompt Ethan to investigate what really happened that night, a quest that reunites him with a former friends and neighbours and leads him into the woods that surround Hemlock Circle. Woods where Billy claimed monsters roamed and where a mysterious institute does clandestine research on a crumbling estate.

The closer Ethan gets to the truth, the more he realizes that no place - be it quiet forest or suburban street - is completely safe. And that the past has a way of haunting the present."
