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.

Benefits of an Evening Meditation Routine

Let's face it, the stress of everyday life can wreak havoc on our physical, emotional, and mental health. That is why I started an evening meditation routine to help me unwind after a long day. I practice this routine every single night without fail and have seen great results. 5 Steps To Help You Relax I have five simple things I do every night to help me unwind to relax my body and mind. Step One A hot bath to soothe aching muscles. Step Two Sitting in my favorite chair with a cup of coffee and a book for thirty minutes to an hour. Step Three I pull up YouTube and do an evening ( sleep ) meditation. Step Four I take a Sound Bath .  You can find many of these on YouTube.

I have learned that if I start my day with a morning meditation routine and end it with a meditation routine my overall heal...

Behind the Scenes: A Typical Day For A Content Creator

Good morning and welcome back to the blog. Today I will give you the rundown on a typical day in my life as a blogger. One very important thing to mention is that my blogging schedule consists of working three days a week. I have been blogging for 10+ years now. When I originally started blogging I worked seven days a week, however, over the years I have narrowed the work week down to only three days and it works well for me. The most important thing I can teach you is to find a schedule and a system that works for you. Are you ready for a typical day in my life as a blogger? Here we go! Emails  My least favorite part but definitely a necessity. I always start the day going through emails, responding to PR Companies that have reached out to let them know if I'm interested in a collaboration.  Interact with Followers  I love hopping on my socials and checking in with my followers first thing in the morning. Interacting with followers is probably my favorite part of bloggin...
