This is my first book by Seraphina Nova Glass and I really enjoyed it. My favorites characters where the senior citizens turned describes and podcasters. The setting is perfect for this time of year - winter in rural Minnesota. The story kept me guessing with the twists and turns and a satisfying ending.

Brittany Pressley is one of my favorite narrators so I was thrilled to hear her voice. Stacey Glemboski and Petrea Burchard were also excellent narrators.

Thank you to NetGalley & Harlequin Audio for letting me read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was my second suspense from Glass, and I am thinking I am getting the style. There is a combo of suspense/thriller with a few characters who make you smile and maybe chuckle a bit. This one almost veered into "cozy" but the plot was a bit too dark for the "cute" characters to carry the cozy feel.

Shelby survives a crazy attack that leaves her shaken. Her friend Mackenzie helps her recover in the small Minnesota town where her husband also went missing that same night. When a note appears on Shelby's car over a year later, a group of fearless Seniors led by the indomitable Florence, band together to help find answers.

This dark, cold setting is a perfect backdrop for this tense and twisty suspense. I had no idea who to trust, what to look for, and certainly not whodunit! The actions toward Shelby and what Mackenzie discovered with her husband were darker aspects, but that was offset by Florence and her crew who kinda stole the show. They made me break out in a chuckle several times!

I would definitely recommend this audio which had 3 different narrators for each of the 3 women's perspectives. Brittany Pressley, Stacey Glemboski, & Petrea Burchard all did a great job making this a fun listen. A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

This is one of those books that I can't quite decide how I feel about it. It starts fast, gets a little slow, then really picks up! But also got dare I say too over the top? And it's very unbelievable but aren't most thrillers?

I feel like some of the plot was interesting and kept me guessing but some of it felt a little slow. I liked the wide cast of characters we had and I will say this was entertaining. I feel like the end has me not sure how I feel. It felt a little too anticlimactic and perfect? But overall, this was an entertaining thriller that kept me guessing. The audio is great!

Thank you NetGalley and the hive for allowing me to listen to this book before release! This was my first read by seraphina nova glass and it certainly will not be my last! I enjoyed the twists and turns in this story and although there were alot of characters mentioned I think it was to keep us confused until the end!!

I feel like Glass often writes about scorned husbands; those who have lied or were otherwise unfaithful or withdrew integrity. What did Leo do? Is he to blame now? Who attacked Shelby that night?

As more unfolds, it becomes clear that Shelby is being targeted, but WHY? Everyone bands together to figure out just that. I loved the tight-knit community vibes.

There were a ton of characters, but the community of senior citizens were the best. Florence and all her companions brought light and humor to this otherwise dark content. Their presence made it feel more cozy mystery than thriller, but you still feel compelled to learn the truths of the many mysteries.

Thank you Harlequin Audio and HTP The Hive for the ALC in exchange for an honest review.

Nothing Ever Happens Here, by Seraphina Nova Glass, is an audiobook I absolutely loved. Shelby, Mac, & Florence are such great characters, voiced by 3 incredible narrators who completely bring them to life. I loved the fun group from from the senior care home, and the mystery surrounding Leo's disappearance. There was nothing cliche about this book, no beaten-to-death tropes. It felt like a breath of fresh air (to use a cliche for explanation, lol). I enjoyed it so much that I immediately downloaded the audiobook of Glass's debut, On a Quiet Street- which is just as fantastic!!! Very excited to discover a new favorite author!! Highly recommend!!!!!

What a thrilling ride. The setup is a little slow as the mystery builds, but I was on the edge of my seat as we approached the end and discovered whodunit.

I felt like there was a couple loose ends that never got tied up or revealed, but overall I really enjoyed this story. My jaw was on the floor as it all came to light, especially with some of the earlier reveals.

I really enjoyed the audio! Brittany Pressley, Stacey Glemboski and Petrea Burchard all did such an amazing job bringing these characters to life. And the production was fantastic as well.

I love quick mystery suspense and I can't wait for more from Seraphina.

A small town thriller meets podcast detectives in Seraphina Nova Glass' latest novel "Nothing Ever Happens Here".

Shelby and Mackenzie have been best friends since they were young, now raising families having never leaving their small Minnesota town. After Shelby is ruthlessly attacked following a cafe robbery, she thinks she is putting her life back together...until a mysterious note appears just over a year later, making Shelby realize that her attacker may not be done with her yet. Meanwhile, Mackenzie is mourning the husband that abandoned her on that same night, his body never recovered, his whereabouts never discovered. Shelby and Mackenzie need answers - it's life or death - and with the help of a senior residence detective club, they're not giving up until they do.

I really enjoyed the narrators on this book - having multiple narrators with so many characters in an audiobook always makes it easier for me to follow along. I tend to hesitate to listen to multiple perspective books on audio because of this, but I was able to keep up.

The storyline was good, it had a bit of "Thursday Murder Club" vibes that offered a bit of humor to the dark storyline. There were plenty of twists and clues dropped through the story, and I enjoyed the way it was done. Read this one if you've enjoyed Glass' previous novels, or are looking for a twisty suspense novel. Bonus for the wintry setting!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the advanced copy of this audiobook!

"Nothing Ever Happens Here" was a captivating, bingeworthy thriller that I could not put down. I absolutely devoured this book! The story is told from the POVs of Shelby, the victim of a violent attack, her best friend Mackenzie, whose husband is missing, and Florence, a senior citizen at the assisted living facility where Shelby works. The seniors at the assisted living facility stole the show and were my favorite characters. They set this book apart from other thrillers and were the perfect comic relief. This book was like "The Thursday Murder Club" meets "Only Murders in the Building," but darker and more suspenseful. The first 75% of this book was amazing and had me on the edge of my seat. The ending was just too over-the-top for me. Overall, though, I highly recommend!

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Brittany Pressley, Stacey Glemboski, and Petrea Burchard. With three female main characters, I was grateful to have three distinct voices narrating the story. They all did a great job and made it easy to distinguish between the women. Definitely an unputdownable audiobook.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a solid small town mystery,where everyone’s in each other’s business, and the older folks are running a muck. What’s not to like?! The story kept me engaged, and I definitely didn’t see that ending coming. I had my suspicions about one character, but the reveal took me by surprise in the best way, not a cheap bait-and-switch, just really well done.

There are quite a few characters to keep track of, but after a while, it became easy to remember who was who. I listened to the audiobook, and while the story itself was great, I wasn’t too thrilled with the narration. Shelby’s voice, in particular, didn’t quite work for me, and I think I would have enjoyed reading this one more than listening to it.

Overall, a solid 3-star read! Big thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the ARC.

After reading and absolutely loving Vacancy in Room 10 last year I was so excited to get my hands on this book! It did not disappoint. The opening couple chapters grabbed all my attention making me unable to put it down.

This twisty thriller has the perfect winter setting. It’s filled with well rounded characters. My favorites being at the Oleander, their fun quirky conversations were the perfect bits of comedic relief. This book will keep you guessing until the very end. It did for me at least!

There were a few narrators performing this audiobook who helped to craft each characters voice in a unique way. Since there were quite a few POVs that helped greatly while listening to the audiobook.

The twists kept coming ! This thriller was amazing I loved the spooky snowy setting and all the characters. There was even a cozy mystery vibe going on with the older characters in this book trying to solve the mystery too. Def recommend this book. ❄️

This twisty thriller almost has cozy mystery vibes to it in places, with its amusing cast of characters and laugh out loud moments.

Shelby survived an attack a year ago, though the perpetrator was never caught. Now, she is suddenly getting messages using the same threats the masked person had used and Shelby and her family are once again in danger. She now manages a senior living facility, and a handful of the residents decide to start a podcast to find out who is after their friend.

Shelby's chapters are full of tension and anxiety as she attempts to keep her kids safe from the threat swirling around them. While I had multiple guesses as to what would happen in the end, I was absolutely wrong on every single one of them, and I love when a book manages to surprise me!

While Shelby's experience is harrowing and nerve wracking, the residents of The Ole provide so much levity to the story. Think senior citizens arguing over technology, follower counts, and editing, and you will be able to picture the humor of their chapters of this book. I was incredibly entertained by their group, led by the very brave and slightly reckless Florence.

This was a great wintry read, set in the cold winter of Minnesota. It was fast-paced and entertaining, and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

The audiobook was a real treat, with multiple narrators marrating the three viewpoints. Brittany Pressley always does an incredible job, and I was also impressed with Stacey Glemboski and Petrea Burchard's narration. All three women are easy to understand, and it was easy to distinguish between the three.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio for the audiobook; all opinions are my own.

Stephanie has done it again!


PLENTY of twists and turns in this fast paced book. Loved it!

Thank you NetGalley for opportunity to review the ARC.

ugh.. I'm a little bummed about this one. I started off really enjoying it and thought I was set for at least a 4-star read. But then about half-way through, I started to get bored with the story and I lost all interest. I DNF'd at 48%. I liked the premise, the small town vibes, and the amateur sleuthing going on but there's something that I just can't put my finger on that I wasn't jiving with. Overall, I think I'd rate it a 3 even though I DNF'd. I could see why a lot of people would really enjoy this one!

Genre: Thriller

Set in a snowy small town in Minnesota, a woman is brutally attacked left for dead, her friend’s husband is missing and the local senior citizens start a viral true crime podcast.

Twisty and suspenseful thriller with a cozy aspect. Told from the POV of three different women. I liked the back and forth and how everything was connected.
The addition of the senior citizens trying to solve the crime gave it a cozy feel at times. The ending was creative and not what you expect.

I listened to it on audio & enjoyed the narrator!

Thank you Harlequin for the ARC!

Synopsis: A stalker, a missing husband, and a well-meaning group of elderly armchair detectives.

Thoughts: I loved this thriller! It hits a very specific combination of being dark and twisty with just the right amount of humor and quirky characters. The plotting and pacing are so well done, the characters are great, and the twists are really unexpected. Each of the three POV’s is great, but my favorite is Florence, an elderly woman in an assisted living facility who decides solving crime will be her new hobby. It gives Only Murders in the Building/Thursday Murder Club vibes. The audio is also a great option for this one with a different narrator for each POV. This is definitely one of the most entertaining thrillers I’ve read lately!

Not sure what happened in this one. It started off so strong and I was fully invested but then it started to lose steam and I found myself getting a little confused as there were so many characters. I think maybe this book would be better read rather than listened to. I was so excited to read this as I usually enjoy this author’s work. This is probably my least favorite of hers however I look forward to her next book.

Seraphina Nova Glass’s latest book, as I embarked on my fifth reading of her work, was an absolute delight. With the excellent narration in the audiobook I received through NetGalley, I was able to immerse myself in the story during a perfect reading weekend.

Glass’s signature style shines through in her intricate characters and captivating narratives. The plot unfolds at a rapid pace, never once slowing down until its satisfying conclusion.

The story begins with Shelby Dawson, a woman who, after a harrowing attack that nearly claimed her life, has finally found a sense of security. However, her fragile peace is shattered when she starts receiving threatening messages. Now, Shelby’s concern is not only for herself but also her five-year-old twin daughters.

As Shelby grapples with her fear, she discovers that her attack may not have been an isolated incident. On the same night of her attack, her best friend Mackenzie’s husband, Leo, mysteriously disappears. Mackenzie is understandably devastated by the sudden loss, and Shelby can’t help but wonder if there’s a connection between the two situations.

Amidst the unfolding mystery, secrets and lies lurk beneath the surface. A group of elderly citizens, unexpectedly drawn into the investigation, embark on a thrilling adventure as amateur sleuths. Their quest for answers just might put them in danger, mirroring Shelby’s own perilous situation. These secondary characters provide a welcome contrast to the intense drama, adding a touch of levity to the unfolding events.

The chilling atmosphere of a cold, snowy Minnesota winter further intensifies the suspense. Keep an eye out for Easter eggs, as Glass’s clever writing often rewards close attention. This fast-paced thriller promises to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Many thanks to Graydon House and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

This was a unique thriller that was a lot of fun to read. I absolutely adored the residents of the Oleander, a senior living home run by one of the main characters in the book.

I read this book going between the kindle and the audiobook. The story from 3 different POVs and the audio really helped keep track of each part, as they had their own narrators. Shelby was attacked inside her friend Mack's cafe one night and no one has been able to figure out who did it or why. On the same night, Mack's husband Leo goes missing, as if he vanished into thin air.

This thriller was set in a small town and had all the vibes I love when a small town is involved in a book. This book also had several twists that I was not able to figure out and was completely shocked by the ending and who was behind everything that had been going on in the story.

Thank you to Netgalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Harlequin Audio for the ARC and ALC of this fantastic thriller in exchange for my honest review!
