Seraphina Nova Glass is an author that I know always delivers. This book is no exception. So many individual threads to pull that you just know connect, but you can't see the how yet. I loved the setting, the story, the characters. Another win for Nova Glass.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Harlequin Audio for my advance copy of this audiobook

I really loved the beginning of this book. I was immediately hooked. I loved how we were kept guessing for the entire story. It did get a little confusing for me toward the end. I kept forgetting who some of the characters were. However, overall I would recommend this book to my friends and I already have to my book club. The opening with the freezer had me shook for days!!

The book is titled Nothing Ever Happens Here, but that’s pretty much the opposite of what unfolds right from the start.

Told from multiple points of view, it begins with Shelby, who encounters an intruder that nearly kills her. This person continues to threaten and terrorize her.

Then there’s Mac, whose husband, Leo, is missing. He’s been lying to her and has squandered all their money. Mac is desperately searching for where he might have run off to.

Another perspective is that of Flo, a senior living in a retirement home (not a nursing home). Shelby works at this facility. The group of seniors decides to start a podcast about the masked man who tried to kill Shelby, as well as other strange and terrifying events that have occurred in town. On a side note, they mention the Doctor Death podcast, which I listened to a while back it’s crazy.

This book literally kept me on the edge of my seat, just like any great thriller should. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed one this much.

I absolutely loved Nothing Ever Happens Here and highly recommend it. Seraphina Nova Glass is a fantastic writer, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all her books.

Thanks NetGalley and Harlequin audio for an ARC audio version of this book, in return for my honest review.

It has a lot of characters and plot happening, which can be confusing, but if you can keep it sorted in your head, it's a great read. The cover gives me thriller/suspense vibes, but the book feels more like a cozy mystery, so it's great for anyone who may scare easily as it's not scary or suspenseful. I was surprised by who the person was, as I kept trying to guess up til the reveal. Overall, it's a decent read. I enjoyed the narrator's different portrayal of each character.

I received this Audiobook to listen and review from NetGalley and Harlequin Audio. All of the statements above are my true opinions after fully listening to this Audiobook.

I binged this one in a day. I thought once again that I had the killer figured out but I was so wrong ! The multiple points of view, the tension and the dynamics made this one bingable!

The narrators did an amazing job and the twists were so dang good!!!

Highly recommend!

“Nothing Ever Happens Here” by Seraphina Nova Glass is an great audiobook with multiple narrators. I love books with sassy older characters. The setting was creepy, and the twists were totally unexpected. The narrators, Brittany Pressley, Stacey Glemboski, and Petrea Burchard, brought the characters to life perfectly.

I loved every word of this title. Seeing a multi-generational cast was the best. I love cranky old people (I'm becoming one) and watching them refuse to sit and knit was hilarious. The story was serious and multi-layered and it was a beautiful blend that I could not put down. I listened to it in a day and can't wait to recommend it and purchase it for my library!

Unfortunately, this wasn't anything special in my opinion. The pacing was a little slow for me, and the b-plot about the old folks home just didn't hit for me. I also hate when authors have POV characters who know the answer, but they talk around it in the most unnatural way to keep the audience in suspense. This book did that for several chapters and multiple POVs, which took it down from three to two stars for me, especially considering that the solution wasn't really worth it.

This book definitely kept me on my toes!! I LOVED the diverse cast of characters. The gang from the retirement home had me laughing. I loved the different viewpoints the story was told from. The narrator was also great!!

I enjoyed this "cozy mystery". I think my favorite was Florence and the other residents rallying together to figure out what is going on in the town. In the first chapter Shelby is assaulted and traumatized by an attack. The very same night Mackenzie's husband, Leo, goes missing. Months later Otto passes away in the hospital, but was it of natural causes? You'll have to read it to find out!

The narrators did a wonderful job and made this story much more enjoyable. The story itself was a good one. Good plot, charming and likeable characters, a twist, and enough details to keep you interested, yet not overwhelming. I give it 4 stars. Thanks for the light thriller.
Thanks to the publishers for an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for my review.

Nothing Ever Happens Here is a blend of small-town cozy mystery and a twisty suspense! It started in a dark place when Shelby is attacked at her best friend Mack’s restaurant and then veers into cozy territory when we are introduced to senior citizens turned amateur sleuths. I appreciated the levity of the scenes at the Senior Home, but I do feel like there were trying to solve a few too many mysteries. This was my first by Seraphina Nova Glass, I have heard her other thrillers may be more my speed (darker!) I will definitely try her other books!

🎧 Brittany Pressley, Stacey Glemboski, and Petrea Burchard did a fantastic job with these characters! The varying voices worked very well with the multiple POVs and helped differentiate whose storyline we were following.

Started off strong but then lost steam. I did enjoy this book but there were times I would stop reading it for a few days because I forgot about it...

3.25 stars

Thank you for this early audio!

I wasnt a big fan of this one. I found it somewhat slow and cant recommend it. I wasn't crazy about the audio narration of this one either. I would recommend On a Quiet Street or The Vacancy in Room 10 if you want to read something from this author instead.

As far as the narrators go, Brittany Pressley is one of my favorite narrators, but I felt the other narrator had a boring voice and I felt like she was just reading to me as opposed to performing the character. This had me zoning out and struggling to enjoy my audio copy.

Kept this neutral on my Instagram account as I appreciate the copies I was provided.

As always, Seraphina Nova Glass delivered an excellent book! One of my favorite authors. I loved these characters, the suspense, the twists. The audio was fantastic. Thank you for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook.

This was such a fun, twisty thriller! Shelby is finally feeling safe after surviving a brutal attack—until creepy notes start showing up, and people close to her start disappearing. Her best friend Mack is dealing with her own mystery—her husband vanished the same night Shelby was attacked, and new evidence suggests he might still be alive. Meanwhile, a group of nosy (but lovable) senior citizens accidentally make the case go viral, adding chaos to the mix. The small-town setting, dark secrets, and an unexpected killer kept me hooked. Some parts felt a little far-fetched, but the fast pace and quirky characters made it a super entertaining read!

Thank you Seraphina Nova Glass, Harlequin Audio, and Netgalley for the advanced copy!

This was my first book by this author, and I was not disappointed. This also happened to be first THRILLER ever, so maybe I’m a bit uneducated on what’s amazing in the genre.

I liked the triple POV approach to the storyline, and each narrator gave their own character their own personality and faults very well. I will admit the beginning hooked me, and while I couldn’t guess the ending, it seemed very “oh., okay” to me. I was still very intrigued the entire time, and I wanted to continue listening at any moment just to see where the story would go.

I’m excited to explore more in this genre. This was a wonderful beginning to my journey.

Nothing ever happens in the small snowy Minnesota town until Shelby surprises a would-be burglar in her friend’s café and is locked in a freezer and left for dead. Then it seems that the action never stops. The novel is filled with eccentric oddball characters from the senior living home that Shelby manages and there are many laughable moments as well as pulse pounding ones as mysterious disappearances, accidents and deaths start occurring. The ending, considering the things that were revealed, was ingenious.

I like Seraphina Nova Glass's mysteries because they aren't quite as formulaic as some thrillers, and they tend to have a hopeful silver lining that focuses on friendships. That was definitely true here. However, I like my thrillers darker and more...thrilling. This one really didn't carry the suspense I was hoping for. I really liked the narrators except for the one for Shelby. She had some strange tones and inflections but when I spend the audio up it was a bit better.

Nothing Ever Happens Here by Seraphina Nova Glass is a great thriller! I enjoyed her other book Such a Good Wife so I was excited to read this one too. This thriller rotates between 3 women’s perspectives, Shelby, Mack and Florence, and it was great that the audiobook features 3 narrators, Brittany Pressley, Stacey Glemboski, and Petrea Burchard, who were all excellent. Shelby was attacked and Mack’s husband goes missing so we’re wondering are they connected? Florence is a senior joined by her friends to solve the possible murder of her friend’s husband and is that connected too? It was a thrilling journey to find out all the connections and just what happened in this small town. I enjoyed the age range of characters and how the senior citizens who start a podcast and try to solve this true crime lend some comedic relief. I did not guess the ending and I would definitely be interested to read more by this author.
