He Started It by Samantha Downing Book Review

 


Today I will be reviewing the book He Started It by Samantha Downing. I picked this book up at the store and after reading the reviews inside the book I knew it was perfect for me. I love a good thriller/ mystery book. 

One of the reviews was from Betches which said it was Best for people who love "Criminal Minds" . Hello,that's definitely me. 

I couldn't wait to get home and crack open this book.

About the book

Beth, Portia,and Eddie Morgan haven't all been together in years. And for very good reasons - we'll get to those later. But when their wealthy grandfather dies and leaves a cryptic final message in his wake, the siblings and their respective partners must come together for a cross- country road trip to fulfill his final wish and - more importantly - secure their inheritance. 


But time with your family can be tough. It is for everyone.


It's even harder when you're all keeping secrets and trying to forget a memory, a missing person, an act of revenge, the man in the black truck who won't stop following your car - and especially when at least one of you is a killer and there's a body in the trunk. Just to name a few reasons.


But money is a powerful motivator. It is for everyone.




He Started It by Samantha Downing Book Review



Review 

Wow! I literally just sat down and read this book cover to cover in one day. 

Okay, so the review I mentioned at the beginning of this article is definitely on point. Let me just say He Started It is definitely worthy of a movie.


This was probably one of the absolute best thriller books I've read all year . I will be honest and say this is without a doubt one truly messed up family. Not only are they keeping secrets from the past but they are also hiding who they have become from each other and their partners. 

He Started It is a fast paced book with twists and turns on almost every page. It also delves into the psyche of every character and how the past has transformed them as individuals and how they relate to those around them.

I'm going to be completely honest here and say the reason I love mystery/ thriller books so much is because I can usually predict the ending. I thought I knew exactly how this book would end from the first couple of chapters and was convinced I was right through the whole thing. I was wrong. I was completely shocked by the surprise at the end and truly never saw " that" coming. 

I won't include any spoilers because I don't want to ruin this incredible book for anyone but I will say if you love thriller books, you have to add this book to your collection.

B-PURE Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

I absolutely love trying new skin care products, especially those designed for people with sensitive skin like myself.  A few months ago on a trip to my local Dollar Tree I found the B- Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser and decided to give it a try.  Review  I was really surprised at how well the B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser worked at removing the dirt and oil from my face without stripping and irritating my skin. Let me just say it is definitely the most gentle skin cleanser I have ever come across. It leaves my skin clean, smooth and refreshed every time I use it. The B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser is now part of my daily 3 Step Skin Care Routine. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.

My Daily Routine

Morning routines are extremely important, they set the mood and the pace for our day. Although some days are better than others there are things you can do every morning to be productive. I have seven things I do every morning before I even attempt to start my day. The most important thing to remember is to not put too much pressure on yourself. Start your day at a slow and steady pace and you will have a much smoother day. Make Bed The first thing I do every morning is to make the bed as soon as I get up. This is non-negotiable. I love the fact that I accomplish something as soon as I wake up. I actually blame my mom for this one. My brother and I were not allowed to leave our rooms as kids until our beds were made. It worked, it's still the first thing I do every day. Coffee and Breakfast My brain will not work without coffee. Lots of coffee! I drink my coffee and eat breakfast which typically consists of a bowl of grits or a waffle with peanut butter. Bible Study and Prayer Time...
