I am crying! Man the voting was tight and I am hating it LOL. These are book series that I have started and loved but it is all fair because I really do not have the time to read everything. So sadly I am having to get rid of a lot of books on my list….. well the results are in.
See how tight it is! So in the fairness, I am looking at the top 2 because it is so tight, which means I keep one series! I mean I wanted to keep them all but I am being a good girl and if I ever get time (IF) I know where I need to pick them up from LOL
Ok, so what do I have for you this week? I may boycott the results with one book…. #justsaying. Plus must admit some of these are I want to re-read.

Land of the Living by Nicci French
Goodreads
You wake in the dark, gagged and bound. A man visits you, feeds you. And tells you that he will kill you - just like all the rest.
Abbie Devereaux doesn't know where she is or how she got there. She's so terrified she can barely remember her own name - and she's sure of just one thing: that she will survive this nightmare.
But even if she does make it back to the land of the living, Abbie knows that he'll still be out there, looking for her. And next time, there may be no escape . . .
Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter, #1) by Jeff Lindsay
Goodreads
Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep's clothing.
He's handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules.
He's a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people.
And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims.
But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened-of himself or some other fiend.

"I live for you," I say sadly.Eo kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more."
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations.
Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer
Goodreads
Long before she was the terror of Wonderland—the infamous Queen of Hearts—she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen.
Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
In her first stand-alone teen novel, the New York Times-bestselling author dazzles us with a prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1) by Stephen King
Goodreads
Also by this author: UR, In the Tall Grass
In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair.
Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.
In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime.
When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.
Brady Hartsfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with two new, unusual allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands.
Remember 2 may or may not stay, how do you choose? Remember I am scared here!

Okay are you sitting down? If not, go sit down cos this’ll come as a shock. I voted. That’s not the shock, I always vote. But. I voted for you to keep an actual book. And. Wait for it. Not even just the one book. Or even two. But three. Three! How much do you love me right now? ? No seriously you have to read the Mr Mercedes trilogy, no question about it, and Heartless, so much Heartless! And because I suffered from insomnia last night and am delirious (and way too generous) from lack of sleep, I also voted for Dexter cos I loved that show and have been meaning to read the books forever.

Excuse me. What about Karin Slaughter? Please for to correct the error of your ways. I know where you live! ?
Kelly says
Well I knew you’d pick that one didn’t I ?♀️ That threat is quickly losing its momentum, ya know. Any day now it will not be scary at all anymore. Aaaaany day now… I hope ??
noveldeelights says
What kind of illogical thinking is that?! If everyone thinks like that, I’ll have the only vote and it will be removed! FIX IT!
You can keep hoping but it’s never going to happen. ?
Kelly says
Uhm. No.
Zoé says
I loved the Lunar Chronicles, and I have been itching to read Heartless. It’s a tough call this week I want to keep them all. Ha ha I can’t believe you voted!! ??

Davida Chazan says
I loved watching Dexter on TV so if you’re into that genre (I’m not, for books, that is), you should read it even though it is a series. As for the others – just the Nicci French! Again, stay away from series!
Zoé says
I really loved Dexter tv which is why I have these books on my list. Just isn’t had a chance to read them.
