Between The Covers

Welcome to Between the Covers Book Club!


We are a small book club that is all about the Booktok world! Our main choice of books are the dark romance, but we will also have a choice of other genres too!


We will try to meet twice a month. One week will be to pick the book we will be reading. The following weeks will be to discuss all of have read this far. We will continue to discuss until we have completed the book. We will try to do at least one book a month however we all know that life gets in the way and that may not be possible.


We will switch where we meet every time. One week it will beat my house, the next it will be at someone else's. We do not have to, but I feel that it would be nice to have small refreshments during our meetings.


I hope that you will enjoy your time and enjoy the new friendships that are made during this! I cannot wait to spend time with you!


Love Always,

Victoria

The Boyfriend

A new, twisting thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Teacher and The Housemaid!

She's looking for the perfect man. He's looking for the perfect victim.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She's seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot.

Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet.

Then the brutal murder of a young woman--the latest in a string of deaths across the coast--confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her dreams. But she can't shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn't get to the truth, she'll be the killer's next victim...

A dark story about obsession and the things we'll do for love, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden proves that crimes of passion are often the bloodiest...

VERY easy to listen/read. Slightly slow to start but keeps you hooked. Before you know it, you've been sucked in. Loved this book.

First book of 2025 was… meh. Freida, why do you write women like men would? I never connect to the characters in these books. They’re so one dimensional and vapid. I read these books because I can finish them in 4 hours and they’re entertaining enough. I will say the twist in this one was a surprise but I found myself having to force myself through most of it.
