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.

This was the same vibe as other Seraphina Nova Glass Books with suspense, revenge and thrill! This book was twisty and turney and hard to put down! Kept you guessing and felt very thursday murder club.

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 thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audiobook of “Nothing Ever Happens Here.” The narrators did an excellent job of making the story engaging and easy to follow. It reminded me of the TV show “Only Murders in the Building.” I think it was the podcast’s unique format and the group of characters who lived in the Oleander that made it so captivating. The story was a mystery/thriller that had me chuckling in some parts and feeling deeply sad for others. Don’t let the title fool you; this small town is filled with so many secrets and lies that it’s impossible to keep up.

I thought this was a fun read with lots of mystery and twists. I had a feeling about who the killer was but I didn’t have any clue to the reasoning. The last bit was intense with flo recounting her emotions after killing Eric but I liked it! I thought it was well done. I also did like the narrators.

This is my first book from this author! 4⭐️! This was a little slow, but held my attention the whole time and I really enjoyed it!!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I adore anything that Seraphina writes. I was so excited to get an advance copy of this one. A husband goes missing, a killers on the loose, you have no idea what can happen next,

I loved Nothing Ever Happens here. The book has all the must-have ingredients including a smalltown, senior citizen sleuths, violent weather, and secrets. Seraphina Nova Glass balanced witty dialogue with an intriguing mystery and kept me captivated throughout the entire book. As always there were plenty of twists that had me guessing who-done-it a few too many times. The multiple narrators used on the audiobook version added to the fabulous cast of characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it.

Seraphina Nova Glass is known for her thrillers that keep you turning until the last page and Nothing Ever Happens Here is her latest release. Mackenzie and Shelby are best friends until an awful night when Shelby is attacked and Mackenzie's husband disappears, leaving more questions than answers. Now Shelby is getting threatening notes from someone who was there that night. When the residents that live at Shelby's nursing home get involved and start a podcast the case moves quickly, but will more people be hurt before the suspect can be caught? I enjoyed the crime podcast and the characters of Mackenzie and Shelby were relatable and well-developed. There were a couple of questionable choices the characters made - but if you can look past that I think you will enjoy this book. I received an ARC of the audiobook and all opinions are my own.

After Shelby survives a near deadly attack, she wants to move on and get her life back. Just as she’s starting to do so, she starts receiving notes on her windshield with the same threats she heard during her attack. Her story goes viral and things start happening to those she cares about. The disaster is only just beginning just when she thinks it will end!

I enjoyed the audio for this, it did the trick for a quick twisty story! I enjoyed it for what it was in the moment.

The narrators did great at portraying the characters.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Seraphina Nova Glass, and Harlequin Audio for providing this free ARC. This is my honest review. This published on February 11th.

This book got me. The didn’t know who the bad guy was. It was also funny at times which was unexpected. Loved it!

Plot twist: everything does happen here—and I was hooked from the very first line. Seraphina Nova Glass has done it again, and this time, through the audiobook, the suspense hits even harder.

The narration? Chef’s kiss. The voice actor brought each character to life with nuance and emotion, adding extra depth to a story already rich with tension, secrets, and gasp-out-loud moments. Listening felt like eavesdropping on a very well-acted thriller—you know you shouldn’t, but you can’t stop.

The pacing is perfect: just enough slow burn to build the tension, then it snowballs into twisty turns that left me questioning everything. The protagonist is flawed, fierce, and someone you root for even as the stakes rise—and oh, do they rise.

If you love domestic suspense with bite, believable characters, and a plot that refuses to let go, Nothing Ever Happens Here is your next listen. Seraphina knows how to keep you guessing, and the audiobook experience makes the ride even more immersive.

Nova Glass delivers an engaging and suspenseful read with Nothing Ever Happens Here. The novel starts off with a slow burn, luring you into the seemingly ordinary world of the protagonist before unraveling a gripping mystery. The writing is sharp, the characters feel real, and the twists are well-executed without feeling forced.

I especially enjoyed how the small-town setting plays into the tension—just when you think nothing is going on, Glass surprises you. That said, the pacing in the first half was a bit slow for my taste, but once things picked up, I couldn’t put it down.

Overall, a solid thriller that keeps you guessing. Not quite a five-star, but definitely worth reading!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for this ALC!

3. stars!

The first half of this book had me hooked and on the edge of my seat! The plot and multiple povs really added to the intense atmosphere. However, after the halfway point, the pacing wasn't consistent for me. Also, the story sort of fell flat in the second half. The ending didn't make sense to me. And not in a thriller type of way, but more of "where did that even come from?" way, It didn't fit with the rest of the story in my opinion.

Overall, this one was a miss for me.

This was an interesting genre bending book. At times, it came across as a charming cozy mystery (thanks to the loveable elderly characters) while at other times, the content felt much darker, more like a high stakes thriller. This created a truly unique reading experience.

It started off strong, was playfully humorous as well as cryptically gripping, keeping me hooked until the final reveal. I had to know the connection between Shelby's attack and Leo's disappearance! Well paced and entertaining, I'd recommend this twisty read to mystery lovers.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Audio for access to the book in exchange for an honest review!

I loved Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass. This mystery unfolds in a quiet, small midwestern town where Shelby, a mother of two is accosted in her friends bakery after hours. The crime is befuddling and combined with the disappearance of Leo, the bakery owner's husband means the townsfolk are scared. Enter, the residents of The Oleander, a local retirement community. Shelby manages The Oleander and its residents love her and want to help solve the crime. As they are looking for the culprit, they discover that a podcast held by one of the old-timers might just be the key to getting some answers. Can four old-age pensioners solve the crime that the local police are happy to sweep under the rug?

Fifteen months after Shelby survived an attack at her friend, Mackenzie's, restaurant after hours Shelby is ready to move on with her life and put everything behind her. However, it seems to be impossible to move on from the attack as for one, Mackenzie's husband Leo disappeared on the same night, but also because recently someone is targeting Shelby and the people close to her. As new evidence comes to light and as the attacks continue on the people that Shelby is close to, a group of senior citizens from the retirement community Shelby manages makes the case go viral when they create a pod cast. Shelby is determined to find out who is behind the current and previous attacks - could it be Leo?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - the pacing was very well done and the twist at the end allowed for a satisfying end to the book. What really made this book for me though was the group of senior citizens. Their relationships between each other and with Shelby were the backbone and strength of this book. I loved getting to experience the interactions between each other - this added some dimension to the overall mystery by allowing some humor and endearing characters.

I had the opportunity to review both the audio version, as well as the digital form of the book ahead of its release. While the book was obviously the same, I did find myself preferring the audio version better. The narration was consistent and engaging for the audio, but on the page I found myself starting to skim because the text felt dense. I'm glad I was able to experience both versions. I look forward to recommending this title and would like to thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I was looking for a thriller that would capture me from the very first page and then keep me entertained from the very first page... THIS WAS IT. I really enjoyed reading this book and I didn't want to put it down. I highly recommend!

The book was confusing and slow. I was not able to finish it. But I want to say thank you for the opportunity to preview this title.
