The Writer

By: Miranda Smith

Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the ARC of this book!

This was a good one!! Becca wants to be an author. She has joined a writing group to get feedback on her writing, as well as sending her newest manuscript to literary agents in hopes of being picked up. Each of the members of the writing group writes mysteries, thrillers etc.. As Becca is trying to find her footing in the world as an author, she is haunted by her past via black hearts. Soon, events that occur within the stories are happening in real life. Becca needs to find out who is behind it all, and it may just be someone in the writing group.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While stories coming to life is not a new concept, this book felt fresh because it seemed to be done in a new way. There were two mysteries happening in this book, and they were nicely intertwined. The writing is easy to read and it flows nicely.

I was kept guessing until the very end as to who was behind the stories coming to life. But there was a twist thrown in there that I didn’t see coming from a mile away. If there were any breadcrumbs left for the reader to try to figure this out, I didn’t catch them at all. That is something that I love about thriller books – my inability to guess and a true twist that leaves me surprised.

This is the third book that I have read by this author, and I will be reading her others. I hope that you check her out!
