Jayme's Reviews > Stockholm
Stockholm (Getaway, #3)
by
by
If you have Amazon Prime-there is a new short story collection included with your membership-THE GETAWAY series.
The common theme of each is that they are all about dream escapes that take an unimaginable or sinister turn. Each can be read or listened to, in a single sitting.
I always find these collections to be a great way to sample the work of an author you have not read, or a way to enjoy bonus content from a favorite author between full length novels.
This collection includes:
Uncharted Waters-Sally Hepworth
His Happy Place-Zakiya Dalila Harris
Stockholm-Catherine Steadman
Belle Mer-Luanne Rice
Catch Her in a Lie-Jess Lourey
She’ll Game-Rumaan Alam
In Stockholm, we meet Psychiatrist Olivia Cole. How did a once successful, strong woman become only a shell of her former self after just two years of being married to Sebastian-a man who appears perfect to those outside of the marriage but is actually far from it. (A common theme in books lately)
And, will she be able to finally make her escape from him, when he takes her on an extravagant Anniversary trip, miles away from home…….?
Estimated reading time: 41 minutes and also available as an Audible

Great review Jayme, I wish it had earned more stars from you!
My dream escape wouldn't get where she gets to go 😂 🥶
Thanks DeAnn! At least The Family Game was outstanding!
Definitely not on my wish list either, Marilyn!
I obviously read the Sally one immediately lol but haven't listened to or read any of the others yet but this one is next on my list. Great review!
This is an endorsement of the book. Terrific review. I like these stories as well to break things up a bit 💞
I can’t afford Amazon Prime so glad this was a good read great review!
Thanks Danielle! Sally was best so far and it will probably stay that way!!
Thanks Margaret! Since I don’t have to pay extra to listen-it does break things up!
Thanks Lisa! I wouldn’t buy them if you don’t have Prime-just fun little fillers between books!
Great review, Jayme!😊

I do have Hepworth's story in my audible library, but not the others, mainly because I am so behind on ARCs, lol. Good point that it's a good way to sample an author's writing.

Thanks, Jan! I am not sure if I will read them all or not !
Great review, Jayme! I'll have to try this. I just finished Uncharted Waters, so I'm ready for another! 💗
I've added unchartered waters, and might try this..
Nice review, Jayme! I saw this on Prime and have been on the fence about downloading. You're right, it is a good way to sample authors I haven't read before.

Great review Jayme, this collection is pretty average so far lol. I have a couple more to read though.😅

Great review Jayme! I have yet to start The Getaway series. I’ll get to it eventually- but haven’t been in a big hurry for some reason… 🤗
