I really enjoyed this

Loved the gang, they are witty and fun.
I deffently did not expect what this book lead to and love went i don't figure it out.

Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass is a gripping psychological thriller that keeps readers on edge from start to finish. With masterful storytelling and well-developed characters, the novel slowly unravels dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of an ordinary town. Glass’s writing is sharp and immersive, creating an atmosphere of suspense that lingers long after the final page. Fans of twisty, character-driven thrillers will find this book impossible to put down.

Oh wow! I finished this in one sitting! It kept me engaged throughout the book. I kept thinking I knew who the attacker was and I was shocked when we find out! Thank you to the author and Net Galley for the ARC copy! I am going to read more of her books soon! This is my first book from her but have others of hers on my TBR!

A thriller with a little bit of humor was exactly what I needed but didn’t know I wanted. This is as a fairly quick read but the audio kept me very engaged. The story itself had so many twists and turns but I’m obsessed with the senior citizen group who sniffs out the killer. Also as someone from a small town where it feels like nothing ever happens in, this story was very relatable.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc/alc.

Seraphina Nova Glass is back with another twisty thriller. I really enjoyed this one! I did not find this book to be predictable at all, compared to some thriller books that I read. I liked the three main women characters, but I also loved the supporting characters like the ones at the nursing home. As for the audiobook, which was narrated by Brittany Pressley; Stacey Glemboski, and Petrea Burchard, I thought these three women did a great job with the narration and I would love to see them collaborate on another audiobook in the future! While this may not be my favorite Seraphina Nova Glass book, I still thought it was a really great and exciting thriller with many twists and turns. I definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a fast paced thriller!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc/alc.

This was kind of slow overall but it started out with a bang and kept my attention. The main two characters were a lot alike but there were some hilarious old people and a twisty plot. The narrator was great for the material.
I'll be checking out more of this author's books.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me listen to this audiobook

Nothing ever happens here

Shelby is from a small town where… you guessed it.. nothing ever happens there ! She survived an attack in her friend, Mackenzie’s, coffee shop after walking in on a break in. He left telling her that if she thought about it- she would know who he really was.

Flash forward and she is finally starting to feel at peace again thanks to her friends and family. That comes crashing down when she gets a note on her car and feeling like he’s being watched. Could this be connected to her attacker ? Or another threat all together ? Or is she just losing her mind.

Shelby isn’t the only one impacted, others go missing- including Mackenzie’s husband- who turns out has deep secrets in financial corruption.

Oh yea- and a POV from some senior citizens who go viral and open the case again with their true crime podcast venture focused on the case. Probably my favorite POV of the whole book!

POV from Shelby, Mackenzie / Mac, and Florence (the queen!)

This author is always a go to, guaranteed ready for me and this one did not disappoint! A little different and cozier than some other books, with a nice mix of suspense and humor.

Narration was excellent !

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the ALC in exchange for an honest review. Release date 2/11/25!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for providing a free e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

4 stars alone just for the Final Fantasy VII reference lol. This book really shocked me with how good it turned out! At first it seemed like it might be your regular run of the mill thriller, but as we are introduced to "the group" of many characters throughout the story with some being a little eccentric while others being a little sinister, the story went way left field, but in a great way!

We start out with Shelby and Mack, who have been best friends for a long time. One night, Shelby is attacked while Mack has been trying to figure out why her husband has gone missing, only to find out he may not have been the man she thought he was. How are these two incidents related? Pick this awesome thriller up to figure it out!

There are podcasts throughout the book, senior investigators, and drama all set in this tiny little town in Minnesota, which you can really get a great picture of throughout the story. This one is definitely worth a read, and i'm very intrigued to read more by the author!

Thanks to #NetGalley and #HarlequinAudio for the book #NothingEverHappensHere by #SeraphinaNovaGlass. In a small Minnesota town where nothing happens, Shelby interrupts something going down when she goes back inside for her daughter’s stuffed badger. After barely surviving and fifteen months later, someone is back again and has set their sights on making her and her loved ones pay. What was going on that night and why are they back? Can she survive a second time? This book will keep you guessing till the end

Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass was incredible! The sharp twists and suspense kept me hooked from page one. As a reader I loved seeing Shelby Dawson’s journey from survivor to reluctant detective. There was so many heart pounding moments as Shelby is pulled back into the nightmare she thought she’d escaped. Between the dual mysteries of Shelby’s attacker and the disappearance of Mackenzie’s husband, both intertwine brilliantly while creating a web of secrets and betrayals. A gripping, fast paced read, I absolutely loved it! The audiobook is fantastic, and the narrators did such a wonderful job bringing the story to life with their performances!

I have really enjoyed all of Nova-Glass' last books. This one missed the mark for me. The dialogue was just silly, and the storyline wasn't believable. It was just plain silly. However, I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

I really enjoyed NOTHING EVER HAPPENS HERE. It had just enough suspense and mystery to keep me guessing throughout the story. Although I didn't figure anything out correctly, I thought the ending was brilliant. If you enjoy domestic thrillers with multiple POV's this book is for you.

Many thanks for my gifted copy. My review will be shared to my Instagram account @coffee.break.book.reviews near publication date.

This was a fun, twisty compulsive read. I switched off between the ebook and the audiobook! The audiobook is great because it has a full cast of narrators. I loved the small town setting and the thought that nothing ever happens in a small town. I enjoy small town settings where everyone is interconnected and knows everyone else! I thought both the FMCs were likable characters, but the true stars of the book are the elderly residents of the assisted living facility. Their banter, sleuthing, and podcasting were cut and really added a lot of enjoyment to the story. It gave the thriller a bit of a cozy mystery vibe! The story wrapped up nicely, but ultimately I’m still a little confused about the motivations of the killer.

Overall, this is a fast paced, engaging thriller full of twists and quirky characters! Definitely recommend checking it out!

I was in the mood for a good mystery and this one fit the bill! Thank you NetGalley for access to this early listen, the audio added so much to the story.

From the first chapter, this book had me hooked. What a way to go down! I enjoyed the pacing of this story. At times it felt like there were a lot of characters to remember, especially with the older podcast gang. I really liked that aspect of it as well! thinking of all these older retirees needing something to do and choosing to investigate a crime was such a good storyline! They were a fun bunch too. The ending was a little crazy when we figured out whodunnit. Overall this was an enjoyable read and a unique voice in a sea full of thrillers.

I love Brittany Pressley and she did a great job along with the other narrators! I am glad I chose to listen to this one.

Nothing Ever Happens Here had all the makings of a great thriller. It immediately hooked me, had an intriguing plot line, and I loved the unique spin on the true crime podcast being hosted by a group of senior citizens. However, the execution fell flat. I felt like there were too many side characters that I was often left confused, and had a hard time tracking. The pacing towards the end of the book slowed, and I was continually frustrated by the gaslighting of two of the FMC’s.

I have loved previous Serafina Nova Glass books, but unfortunately, this one was just not it for me. I look forward to future books!

🎧 I did really enjoy the narration of this book however. They were cast exceptionally well. I will listen to anything Brittany Pressley narrates, I love her style!

Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Harlequin Audio, and NetGalley for the gifted ARC and ALC.

Thank you so much to Harlequin Audio for the ALC!

I absolutely LOVED Seraphina's previous release THE VACANCY IN ROOM 10 and still can remember so many details about the quirky setting and characters. She definitely nailed the memorable settings and characters again in this one!

If you like an immediate hook in your thrillers, this one will easily deliver that as it starts out with a BANG!

There were a lot of things I really liked about this book:

- Midwest Setting
- Senior Living Setting
- Podcast Element
- Small Town Vibes

I definitely got some cozy mystery vibes which I'm sure is due in part to the the amateur sleuths in the Senior Living Facility, but it felt a little less serious than her previous book to me.

Overall, it was a fun and quick read that I'd recommend!

As far as the audiobook, I loved that there were 3 narrators (especially my fav Brittany Pressley)!

This was a great book for audio. Since there are multiple POVs, the multiple narrators made it a super fun and easy listen. I flew through in two sittings at 1.75x and 2x towards the end. Brittany Pressley is fantastic.

My favorite things about this book were the elderly care home folks creating an investigative podcast, the multiple points of view, and the cute but campy plot. It is definitely more of a popcorn thriller with some fairly predictable plotlines. However that did not take away from my enjoyment of the story at all. SNG's books are so easy to read, fun, and digestible for all types of readers.

This was a particularly cute and funny thriller - if thrillers can be cute. It starts off with a bang and then settles into a lower level angst of suspense until a crescendo at the end. As with all SNG books, stay tuned until the very last page because there is always going to be one final twist.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio for this gifted ALC!

I’ve always been a fan of Seraphina Nova Glass, but Nothing Ever Happens Here topped everything she’s written before. It was so much fun to be with. It was witty, humorous, engaging and full of mystery. Sometimes, too many characters can convolute the storyline, but in this case, it only added to the intrigue. I kept wanting to find the ties that bound everyone. I especially loved the cast of older people navigating their way innocently through solving a mystery with technology. I laughed out loud often. I highly recommend this book if you need a cozy, yet enthralling, mystery. And a good laugh, to boot.

The story builds tension effectively, leading to unexpected twists. The writing style is straightforward, making it great for readers looking for an engaging and quick read.
The elders and their sleuthing was my favorite part of the book, especially Flor(ence) and grumpy Herb. I did NOT expect that ending!
Thank you to the author/publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.
