Fantastic Debut Thriller!
I have to say this year has been a year where I am very thankful for my kindle unlimited but this was a great read from the start. Lovely Pieces is such a faced paced thriller you can sink your teeth into and not move until it you read the last page. Talk about a compelling tale! J. M. Winchester brings us the saga of a psychotic Seattle software billionaire with exactly enough money to allow him all the room he requires to satisfy his unusual needs. I have never met a billionaire nor a psycho, but this one is scary as Hell and much too authentic. Drew is his first wife, Michael his first child. It takes Drew a while to see that the 'security and protection' Adam provides for her is based on perversity - but as soon as she finds she is pregnant that abuse intensifies and becomes unbearable. This psychological domestic thriller will leave you on the edge of your seat. I had a sense of I think I would rather date a poor man then a man with money. I also think that this book would be something that you could see on Lifetime as a made for TV movie. I will be reading more from J.M. Winchester. This was a very enjoyable book that I will be recommending to others. ( )

This was a really dark thriller, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. There are some themes that might be difficult for some readers, including domestic abuse and controlling men. I have to admit I had to stop and put the book down a few times to ground myself because certain scenes were so hard to read, and so realistic. My heart went out to Drew, who just wants to protect her son, even if some doubt is thrown on her innocence. There are plenty of twists and lots of suspense in this book. It'd definitely captivating, but at times just a little too vivid for me. ( )

Oppressively Dark Beginning. This book is *so* dark in the first half that it almost doesn't have a choice but to lighten by at least a shade or two in the back half - and even then, that shade or two brighter is about all you ever really get. I don't want to give too much away in this review, but if you have issues such that you can't or won't read books that contain any level of domestic abuse or rape, you're going to want to skip this one. Beyond that, the front half of this book in particular screwed with my mind so much - easily one of the more powerful books on that level that I've read in quite some time. To the level that I didn't want to finish it, but knew I needed to for this review - and even then, I knew it was a 5* book *because* of what it was doing to me and its excellent editing. I honestly don't know if I'll ever read another book under this name from this author, but this one is very much recommended. ( )

I just could not get into this book and I kept reading over and over the same paragraph. ( )

All the Lovely Pieces had familiar chapters like Girl on the Train. But much different as far as the story goes. Drew and Michael are obviously on the run at the start and slowly the details unfold as you read the book.

Adam seemed to be the perfect man. Smart , rich and very attractive to Drew it was love at first sight. Then the honeymoon wore off and the real Adam came out.

This book had me hooked from page one. I could not put it down till I had found out how everything had happened. I highly recommend this book! ( )
