Shelby Dawson survives an attack that should have left her dead. The same night her best friend Mack's husband Leo disappears and no one knows why. Fifteen months later both women are trying to move on. But Shelby receives a note from her attacker and fears for her life and her family. Shelby's big question is who was her attacker? Mack questions whether her husband is still alive and finds a history of debt and hidden accounts. When a person connected to Shelby goes missing, a group of senior citizens start a podcast to find the attacker before he becomes a killer.

Make sure you put NOTHING EVER HAPPENS HERE on your tbr for February. Clear your day because you are not going to want to put this book down. Grab a blanket and cozy up on the couch as this story takes place in the Minnesota winter. It grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept me guessing to the very suspenseful ending. I had no clue! It is told in multiple POV's and I loved Florence and the senior citizens group that added humor to the story.

Thank you @seraphinanovaglass and @graydonhousebooks
For the #gifted ebook.

Seraphina absolutely never disappoints. The only thing I will say about this is the wide array of characters had me lost at times. It was hard keeping track of everyone. But I absolutely did not see that plot twist. Not who I was guessing it was at all! I look forward to her next book.

This was so good! I absolutely loved the twists and turns this thriller took! Gripping, engaging and captivating! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I loved Seraphina Nova Glass's last book "Vacancy in Room 10" so couldn't wait to read this. The story is suspenseful and engaging with many twists and turns. Similar to "Vacancy" this story also has a band of misfit characters, in this case, a group of senior citizens who love to investigate true crime stories. The characters bring lightness and humor to a thriller that is otherwise pretty dark. Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Graydon House for the ARC.

Release date - February 11, 2025

This was such a suspenseful and entertaining thriller that grabbed my attention right from the start! The plot was riveting and I could not put it down. My favorite part was the comic relief provided by the elderly residents at the senior living center, who added so much humor and heart to the story. This was such a great thriller and one of my favorites of the year! I highly recommend trading this one when it comes out in February!

Seraphina Nova Glass delivers a captivating thriller where the quiet life of a small town shatters under a looming threat, pulling you into its gripping tension right from the start. Shelby Dawson, still recovering from a violent attack, tries to move on with her life, but an ominous message on her car brings back her worst fears. As danger closes in, the town once known for its peacefulness turns into a hub of uncertainty and peril.

What makes this story truly engaging is its unlikely group of heroes—a band of senior citizens who become unexpected detectives. Their lighthearted but determined approach adds a refreshing and fun twist to the otherwise tense atmosphere. Their viral podcast pulls them into the center of the action, and suddenly, they are not just background characters but key players in uncovering the truth. Shelby’s bond with her best friend Mackenzie feels genuine, but it’s the seniors, especially the fearless Florence, who bring both humor and heart to the story.

The snowy Minnesota backdrop heightens the tension, with its freezing winds and long, silent nights, creating a chilling contrast to the unfolding drama. Glass masterfully weaves together misdirection and surprises, keeping readers on edge until the final reveal. This story is a rollercoaster of loyalty, fear, and resilience, as characters push themselves to the brink to uncover the answers they seek.

With plenty of twists and turns, this is a suspenseful and unpredictable tale filled with memorable characters and a plot that keeps you guessing. For anyone who enjoys thrillers packed with unexpected alliances, small-town unease, and clever surprises, this book is a must-read.

A huge thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Graydon House for sharing this unputdownable small town thriller's digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I will read everything that Seraphina Nova Glass writes from this point forward. Her newest thriller Nothing Ever Happens Here had me hooked from the first chapter, when Shelby barely escapes death after being locked in the freezer at her best friend Mack's cafe. Mack's husband disappears the same night, and their sleepy small town is suddenly surrounded by mysterious deaths and seemingly unsolvable crimes. The detective is unfazed and unmotivated, but the people who Shelby loves most- her young twin daughters and the residents of the Oleander, the retirement community where she works - are in imminent danger. Can Florence, one of the spunkiest members of the Oleander crew, help find the culprit before someone else goes missing... or will she become the next victim?

The cast of characters is unforgettable and the reveal at the very end is deliciously unpredictable. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this five star read!

I inhaled this one in a day! Reminded me immediately of my experience reading The Vacancy in Room 10, which was one of my favorite reads of 2023. Without a doubt, Seraphina Nova Glass is one of my auto-read/auto-buy authors for me!

Shelby and Mack are best friends living in a small town where “nothing ever happens.” Until it does. The same night Shelby survives a surprising attack, Mack’s burned Leo vanishes without a trace. Are the two incidents related? Months later many questions remain and an unlikely group of seniors turned sleuths wants to find answers!

I couldn’t get enough of Florence and her friends from the seniors building Shelby runs! They were quite a cast of characters and kept me engaged and entertained to the max. Multiple points of view, great pacing, amazing villain, I really loved all aspects of this story! This one is already one of my most memorable and favorite reads of 2024. I highly recommend adding this one to your TBR ASAP!

• A mix of mystery, cozy, and suspense set in a small Minnesota town
• Told from three points of view-two best friends and a senior citizen living in a retirement home
• Cute and suspenseful
• Small town vibe
• Easy to read mystery with a true podcast spin
• Too domestic and cozy and not enough thriller for my taste

I was so excited when I heard about Glass new book. She is an auto buy author for me.

I really enjoyed this book, it was entertaining with twists and humor, and with characters that will keep you busy. I loved that there is a senior community that turns the plot into a sweet spot for a lot of readers.

I was very lucky and blessed in reading this book early, and I am very grateful.

I really recommend this book.

Thank you so much to Seraphina Nova Glass, HTP Books and NetGalley for this ARC.

This book is a mix of mystery/suspense and cozy. It is not my usual go to in terms of thrillers I like them more thrilling. It was not my favorite by the author especially after reading The Vacancy In Room 10. It was just missing something for me to make it amazing.

We got the EXCLUSIVE over at @thrillerbookloversthepulse for this book and I was so freaking excited because Seraphina is an autobuy author for me!

The story starts off with a BANG and doesn't let up until the very last page. I devoured this book in a day and a half! The suspense was thrilling and I loved every page. Seraphina is a master at writing a multiple POV, complex thriller with characters that have you feeling every emotion for them. There were times when I was frustrated, scared, sad, intrigued, rooting someone on, and even laughing. The side characters were great as well. I don't like to give away spoilers in my reviews because I prefer to go into books blind so the bottom line is- you need this book on your tbr!

Thank you so much to @Htpbooks, @Htp_hive and @seraphinanovaglass for an ARC!!

🌻𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚊𝚢...okay, it is no surprise that @seraphinanovaglass is one of my fav authors! 🔥I swear I talk about On A Quiet Street a lot(the ultimate fav of hers🩷)….she just really knows how to write these character driven thrillers!! 🙌I mean her last one(Vacancy in Room 10) I was so hooked on caring for those characters! That never happens in thrillers!! 👏This one is just like that too..it even has the best humor tidbits & cozy vibes added in. The cast of characters is unique & you will care about them while having twists thrown in left & right. This one comes out in February ❄️which is perfect because holy moly, I was cold just reading the atmospheric descriptions of this frigid rural Minnesota town. 🥶 Yall preorder & save the date for this one!

As soon as I found out we were getting an exclusive to read this book early at @thrillerbookloversthepulse I jumped on it! I absolutely loved this authors last book and this one IS GOOOOOD!
I absolutely loved the older residents at The Oleander assisted living. They definitely had me laughing out loud.
Seraphina Nova Glass is able to write a story that can be silly and funny but also tense and twisty.
I couldn’t stop reading this whodunnit because I had to know what happened!

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS HERE is highly anticipated and rightfully so. Seraphina always writes something satisfying and this was no different.

In Nothing Ever Happens Here Shelby has survived an attack she shouldn’t have and is convinced someone in her small town is watching her. She also wants to know who attacked her. There’s also Mackenzie whose husband went missing a year ago. A lot of questions and no answers.

Shelby and Mackenzie joining forces with a group of retirement home residents to investigate what’s going on takes the cake. There were many twists, and no idea who the culprit was but with the oleander residents there were some laughs. This was a thriller that a little bit of a cozy element added in and I loved it!

Thank you to Thriller Book Lovers the Pulse, NetGalley and Grayson house books for my gifted copy!

Title: Nothing Ever Happens Here
Author: Seraphina Nova Glass
Pub Date: February 11, 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 Stars)

I heard so many great things about Seraphina Nova Glass’ last book from my team members at Thriller Book Lovers The Pulse, so when I heard we got the exclusive to read it early, I couldn’t wait and it did not disappoint!!

This book starts out strong from the very beginning and keeps you hooked until the end! After surviving a brutal attack, Shelby Dawson tries to move on with her life. However, over a year later, she receives an anonymous note that indicates that the nightmare is not over and that her attacker is back and wants to finish what he or she started. With the help of her best friend, Mackenzie, and her senior citizen friends who live at the retirement home that she runs, Shelby desperately tries to figure out who is behind her attack and the other mysterious accidents that begin to happen to the people around her!

This story is told from multiple points of view and is filled with mystery, tension, and tons of red herrings to keep you guessing! I loved the dynamic between all of characters, especially Florence and the other senior citizens who became instant sleuths as they help investigate the crimes when their podcast goes viral. They also added an element of humor to this suspenseful twisty thriller and gave it a bit of a cozy mystery vibe at times, which I loved! If you are a thriller fan, you will definitely want to read this one! Set in a snowy Minnesota town, it is the perfect book to add to your winter TBR!

Nova Glass is an auto read author for me so I was so excited when Nothing Ever Happens Here became available! It was definitely a DROP EVERYTHING moment!

When I say Nothing Ever Happens Here opens with a bang, wow, am I not kidding. My jaw hit the floor. As a mother, I could honestly feel Shelby's distress as she realized her babies were trapped the car while she was completely helpless. It made a catastrophic situation all the more traumatic and emotional!

From there, Nova Glass weaves a tale of mystery and suspense. Shelby may have narrowly escaped with her life, but someone is not done with her. Meanwhile, her best friend's husband went missing on the same night of the attack, making it hard to believe the two incidents weren't related -- and maybe in the worst way. I appreciated that Mack and Shelby were able to maintain their friendship and trust in one another as they grappled with the unimaginable. It was a nice depiction of female friendship and resiliency.

I loved the crew at the Oleander and how invested in their community they were. The podcast bit added a nice touch and I liked how they each played detective in their own ways. There were quite a few characters but once we got to know them better, it was easier to keep track and everyone added something to the story.

This one kept me guessing and I bet it will fool a lot of readers! There were some good red herrings and I liked that the killer didn't feel obvious.

If you like a well-rounded cast of characters, mysteries with a true crime podcast spin, and a book that keeps you on your toes, I definitely recommend!

Thank you to THE PULSE for the advanced copy. Nothing Ever Happens Here releases February 11, 2025 and you don't want to miss it!

Thank you to Thrillerbookloversthepulse, Graydon House, #partner, for an advanced e-copy of Nothing Ever Happens Here in exchange for my honest review.

I’m still relatively new to Seraphina Nova Glass’s books, but after loving her last one, The Vacancy in Room 10, I knew I needed to read more by her! ⁣
⁣
Once again, I found myself completely hooked right from the beginning…I mean after that opening chapter, how could you not get wrapped up in what was going on? From there, the twists and turns this book took did not stop.
⁣
What I loved most, though, about this book, were the characters. Again we are given such a fun, quirky bunch of characters, especially the “gang” of senior citizens that take it upon themselves to help get to the bottom of everything happens in their town. I am always down for some amateur sleuthing & this gang takes it to a whole new level! ⁣
⁣
But don’t think this is a cozy mystery by any means. This is downright sinister & menacing, with plenty of shocking moments. And that small-town feel comes through loud & clear…another of my favorite tropes that works so well in this book! ⁣
⁣
I know this isn’t out until February, but I highly recommend adding it to your tbr or even pre-ordering it! You won’t be sorry!

This book has my jaw open quite a few times thinking WTF! We have some senior loving folks, one trying to find a hobby who decides she should start a true crime podcast. We have Mack whose husband Leo disappeared a year ago from suspicious circumstances. We also have Shelby, Mack’s friend, who has survived an attempted murder and feels like there is someone always watching her. There have been some unexplained deaths recently in their small town and now the gang is beginning to think there was foul play involved. The element of the seniors gave this book more of a cozy feel for much of the story, but don’t you worry, there were many thrilling parts as well!
