This was a pretty decent cozy mystery. I found it to be pretty predictable, but it was definitely entertaining.

An entertaining change of pace for Glass. Nothing Ever Happens Here is about a woman trying to recover from an attack and a group of senior citizens determined to help her. Brittany Pressley is excellent as always.

This book captured me from the very beginning. It's a great mystery/ thriller with the vibe of "Only Murders in the Building." The gang had me laughing and the suspense had me hooked.

Thanks to Harlequin Audio and NetGalley for the advance listener copy of Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass!

I loved the plot—it kept me guessing right up until the end. The pacing was solid throughout, and the narration was excellent, really drawing me into the atmosphere and characters.

The standout for me was the cast of quirky, well-drawn characters, especially the group of senior citizens who added much-needed humor and heart. Their scenes provided the perfect balance to the darker moments and made the story feel grounded and human.

My only real complaint is that the ending felt a bit rushed, and the resolution seemed a little too convenient after such a suspenseful buildup. I wish a bit more time had been spent letting the final revelations breathe.

Still, this is a smart, engaging mystery with great voice work and compelling characters. I’ll definitely be picking up more from Seraphina Nova Glass in the future!

Ooh, this was so twisty! I love how this story started with a mystery and it just kept coming. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I was proven wrong again. I will definitely read more of Seraphina Nova Glass's work in the future.

Brittany Pressley, Stacey Glemboski, and Petrea Burchard all did a great job narrating this story.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an audiobook of “Nothing Ever Happens Here”. I really wanted to like this book but I just don’t think it was the book for me. I struggled to pay attention to the story and the narrator of the audiobook kinda sounded like a robot and that made it even harder to get into the story. Maybe if I read the book on my own instead of listening to the audiobook version then I might have enjoyed it more. Thank you again to NetGalley!💕📚

Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass is a clever, suspenseful thriller set in a quiet Minnesota town where danger is hiding in plain sight. After surviving a brutal attack, Shelby’s life is turned upside down again when chilling signs suggest her attacker is back. With the help of her best friend—and a group of unlikely senior citizen podcasters—the mystery deepens, leading to secrets no one expected.

Engaging multiple POVs, solid twists, and a unique mix of tension and charm make this a standout read. A few slow spots and a big cast of characters were slightly overwhelming, but overall, it’s a smart, entertaining thriller that kept me guessing. Perfect for fans of domestic suspense and small-town secrets!

Thank you to Graydon House and NetGalley for the advanced listening copy of Nothing Ever Happens Here in exchange for an honest review.

This was okay! It was a decent thriller but didn’t wow me much. It definitely made me despite small town cops. Sorry not sorry.

This audio book was good. Twists and turns with a bit of humor. Slow to start, but kept with it and it got better.

I devoured this author's previous release last year (it was one of my top reads of 2024) and was so excited to get something else by them - sadly, I was really let down by this one.

3.5 stars — a twisty, fast-paced popcorn thriller.
Nothing Ever Happens Here follows Shelby, who’s trying to move on after surviving a brutal attack—until threatening notes show up and her past comes rushing back. As accidents pile up and a group of meddling seniors accidentally turns her case into a viral mystery, Shelby races to uncover the truth before it’s too late.

The characters are endearing, the pacing keeps things moving, and there’s just enough suspense and small-town drama to keep you hooked. The final twist was satisfying, and while it’s not a standout thriller, it’s a solid, entertaining read for fans of fast, twisty suspense.

I enjoyed this book. It was the first time I read anything from this author. I had no idea who was doing everything. The way that it ended was a nice surprised. I loved it. The way that it had me at the edge of my set to figure out who was doing everything and then to see who it was threw me. I had no idea. I would have never guess it would have been that person.

This was my first of Seraphina Nova Glass' books. Her writing style is great! She adds humor to her twisted plot. I love when books are told in multiple points of view and this one was great. I was intense yet filled with witty banter. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed reading On a Quiet Street by Seraphina Nova Glass so I was excited to read another one of the author's novels. Nothing Ever Happens Here is a another suspenseful mystery/thriller, but I did find it to be very slow moving at times. There are a lot of interesting characters combined with some twists and turns along the way. This kept me reading on to find out how it was all going to come together.

Multiple mysteries in this small town novel!

One seemingly random attack, a disappearance and senior citizens hosting a true crime podcast!

Shelby is attacked in her best friend Mackenzie's coffee shop and left for dead and Leo (Mack's husband) disappears out of the blue. Are these events connected? A year or so later, Shelby starts receiving threatening notes and her fears of being attacked again resurface. Leo's disappearance leaves Mack with tons of questions but upon further digging she finds secrets and wonders if she ever knew her husband at all.

The senior citizens give this book a little humor which is greatly appreciated given the seriousness of the events.

The twists in this one were great and I did not see them coming!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

There has not been a Seraphina Nova Glass book I haven't liked. She keeps getting better and better. I highly recommend her newest book - I felt like the plot and setting were unique for the genre. I loved the narrator - she did an amazing job engrossing me into the story and keeping me listening.

Audiobook- Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass, Mystery/thriller multiple POV, slow start but I felt like the ending was rushed because it picked up more towards the end of the book. The Characters were detailed and I generally liked them. I felt the author portrayed the female main character in a way that can have the reader empathize with her and her traumatic situation.

Some areas of the book were too in depth and made me lose interest because it really didn’t change anything or lead to the plot. There were unpredictable twists. Narrators were clear, concise and easy to picture as the characters. Overall a quick thriller.

Thank you for the ARC NetGalley

The twists and turns! I swore that I had the twists figured out, but I was so wrong! I lived getting POVs from 3 different characters and the narrators did a really great job!

Excellent! Loved the suspense, the characters- the way the author had no issues taking people out!

What an interesting mish mash of characters. Senior living residents come together to uncover what is happening in their small town. People are being murdered and nothing seems right.

Single narrator, good pace and tone. I enjoyed the way she read the intense moments and would opt for the audio if given the choice! How fun. If there weren't some really dark moments, I might even qualify this as a cozy mystery!

I really like this author, so I had a good feeling going in that this book would be good. I definitely wasn’t disappointed. The story is about two best friends, one goes missing. Shortly after she goes missing, the other friend’s husband vanishes. I also loved the senior podcast element, I thought it was cute and I just love the podcast trope. Definitely a good book from this author. I also enjoyed the narrator as well.
