This is a terrifying read as the reader is constantly looking over their shoulder trying to dodge the story's killer. This is a twisty and fast read.

Nothing Ever Happens Here is the perfect title for this small-town thriller. I always enjoy Seraphina Nova Glass' books, and this one definitely ranks up there. The twists and turns keep coming with each chapter, and I loved the senior citizens who decide to start trying the break the case open as they post a video online that goes viral. It's a good book that will keep you engaged until the last chapter.

Thank you HTP Books and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Shelby and Mack are best friends who both suffer life changing events on the same night. Shelby survives an attack on her life and Mack’s husband disappears. A year later, neither mystery is solved and in fact more questions begin to surface. Shelby runs an assisted living facility and her residents get involved in solving the mysteries.

I really loved the characters and loved taking a peak into the assisted living. The story caught my attention right away and some aspects made me think of the show Murders in the Building. Seraphina Nova Glass doesn’t disappoint. Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing and Grayson House through Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I raced through this book. I couldn't read it fast enough. The unthinkable happened in a small town, and there was never any closure. That was until residents banded together, created a podcast, and did their own investigation. The storytelling was fantastic, and I can't recommend it enough!

SO GOOD. I love Seraphina's thrillers so much. Fast paced writing that leaves you on the edge of your seat constantly wanting more

I loved this!! This was halfway between a thriller and a cozy mystery for me.

Shelby, recovering from an attack is thrown back into a place of fear and anxiety after finding a strange and threatening message on her car. The tension created in the beginning of the book is truly phenomenal. The snowy setting created a feeling of isolation throughout the book.

However, my favorite part is the group of senior citizens that stepped up to solve the mystery. Their banter, wit, and friendship had me laughing out loud. Each character felt like they each had their own personality and were real people.

This was my first book from Seraphina Nova Glass and it certainly won't be my last.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for this ARC!

Thank you to Graydon House for the digital copy to review.

While setting the stage in the beginning I could not figure out how this would all come together, but it did in a way that worked well. The audio was great and I really enjoyed each of the narrators. The pacing was good and it was intense in parts, and I could not put it down once I got started.

Seraphina Nova Glass, one of my most favored authors, has once again delivered a masterpiece of suspense with Nothing Ever Happens Here, a novel that will bury itself under your skin and leave you breathless long after you've turned the final, devastating page.

This isn't just a thriller; it's an experience. Glass lures you into a seemingly tranquil world, where shadows lengthen and secrets fester beneath a veneer of normalcy. But don't be fooled. Beneath the deceptive calm lies a darkness so profound, so chillingly insidious, that you'll find yourself questioning everything and everyone.

Nothing Ever Happens Here is a symphony of dread, a meticulously crafted puzzle box where every piece is a razor-sharp edge designed to keep you teetering on the precipice of revelation. Glass's ability to weave together a tapestry of richly drawn characters, each with their own hidden agendas and buried desires, is simply astonishing. You'll be captivated, horrified, and utterly unable to look away as the truth slowly, agonizingly, comes into focus.

With its relentless pacing, shocking twists, and an atmosphere so thick with mystery you could cut it with a knife, Nothing Ever Happens Here is a breathtaking thriller that will redefine your very definition of suspense. Prepare to be consumed.

Unfortunately this was super hard to read due to the formatting and, for a book like this, you really need to be focused and not distracted.

Seraphina Nova Glass is known for her twists and turns and surprises. I was expecting a lot from Nothing Ever Happens Here. Plus, the title alone has you all kinds of nervous because just when someone says nothing ever happens here is exactly when something happens. It’s like saying “I’ll be right back” in a horror movie. You never come back!

The story actually is split with multiple story lines. There’s Shelby who survived a terrible attack on herself and then there’s Leo, missing husband to friend of Shelby. The guess is that Leo attacked Shelby and that is why he ran, but not everyone thinks that. Then random notes start appearing and you just don’t know who to believe. Glass has this uncanny way of leaving you questioning EVERYONE. I had no idea what to believe. Even the people you are basically reading every page in their perspective you don’t trust. There are a lot of twists and a lot of characters you really want to trust, but are unsure if you should.

My only problem was I would get confused here or there because of the jumping around and not being able to track quickly where we jumped. It wasn’t the end of the world, but it did throw me off a little bit. Not enough to ruin the book though, so I’m okay with that.

While I really like the lead characters, my favorite group in this story is the nursing home of old people. Nothing is better than retired individuals with a lot of time on their hands. They are epically hilarious and really made this story as good as it was. I would love a side story or a flashback story of some of these people to their younger years. I would read that in a second. Such good characters to really build up this story, which may have been slightly more boring otherwise.

I’ve always enjoyed Glass’ writing and I fully plan to pick up more of her books in the future and you should too. You may guess parts of this ending, but you definitely will not guess it all! Grab a copy now!

I had to dnf this after the first chapter. It was too triggering/traumatic for me. I was hoping to enjoy this, but I could not get into it.

I thought this was an original novel! Unique at hand. The stars of the show were the seniors at the living home! They added so much quirks that I couldn't wait to continue reading.

I completely love seraphina and was so excited for this book. A small town thriller very captivating kept me engaged not as good as her other books, but definitely worth the read. I give it about 3.5 stars.

Two intertwining mysteries...with lots of twists. As per usual, I didn't see the ending coming! Fun and fast read.

Thank you NetGalley, Graydon House and Seraphina Nova Glass for letting me read Nothing Ever Happens Here before it’s Feb release!

thank you to netgalley for the e-arc. i should have known from the title what i was in for. literally not much happens here. its a small town story with small town characters and really nothing exciting happens. i also did not like that most chapters were narrated by a different townsperson.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was a thriller that starts off with a violent attack on Shelby Dawson when she makes the mistake of stopping by her restaurant after hours to retrieve a stuffed animal forgotten there by one of her twins. Fifteen months later Shelby is trying to move on with her life and get past that horrible night but someone has different ideas as Shelby starts to find cryptic messages being left on her vehicle. Who was it that attacked her that fateful night and what happened to Leo as he mysteriously disappeared that same night....was he the attacker? In a small town where nothing ever happens, this crime has brought out a group of seniors running a podcast out of the lodge who band together to try and solve this mystery once and for all.....Enjoy!!!

The beginning of this started out really strong, instant suspense & I thought it was a good start to what I hoped to be a great book. The beginning was probably the best part though unfortunately. I felt that the writing was pretty sloppy. Many of the paragraphs were kind of like a run-on sentence between two characters & you didn’t really know who was talking (maybe audio was better because different voices for different characters, but audio shouldn’t have to pick up the slack for a poorly written book). Hard to tell who was talking & also who’s pov sometimes. Many times I had to go back to see whose chapter it was (pov title). Also I feel like there was a lot missing from certain characters as far as being actually present in the book & then too much of other characters that I felt were irrelevant and/or didn’t add much to the story. This had potential with the initial major event but afterwards it fell pretty flat. I really struggled with the entire story between being confusing at times & it was just not that interesting to me. Plus the ending was disappointing. Not what I expected from this author unfortunately. I loved On a Quiet Street by her. Hopefully this was a one off dud & her next book is what Glass fans expect ☺️

Thanks so much to NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing for the opportunity to read an advanced copy!

Nothing ever happens here by Seraphina Nova Glass is a small-town thriller. There is just something interesting about issues that happen to rock the town. Everyone knows everyone, but how well do they really know them?

I love when books grab you at the beginning and don't let go. The book begins with the peaceful town getting rocked by a crime. Mack is experiencing the worst day of her life, her husband goes missing on the same day as her best friend Shelby is attacked and left to die.

I love how the characters felt like real people. They were very well written and helped to picture the story in your head as you read.

I loveeee this author and I loveee all of the books! I highly recommend this one! Could not put it down
