It’s the middle of the night when I’m woken by urgent knocking. As I open the door, my heart stops when I recognize a face I never thought I’d see again: my foster daughter. Why has she come back here?

When Riley disappeared as a teenager, it shook my sleepy hometown to the core. It ruined my life and I was never allowed to foster a child again. Now fifteen years later, she’s on my doorstep.Why is she back?

“Please help us, we have nowhere else to go,” Riley begs. She holds the hand of a small boy. As I look down, I see the unmistakable deep blue pools of her eyes mirrored in his own. I get the sudden sense there is something she isn’t telling me…

As I let them into my home, I can’t shake the feeling that Riley is hiding something. Then the day after she is seen arguing with one of her old friends, the same person is found dead.

Could Riley have had anything to do with this?

I start to wonder whether something happened when she was a teenager. Something that she has come back to make right. An icy fear settles inside of me.

Why has my foster daughter really returned? What secrets are about to be revealed—and how many people will have to die before they come to light?

An absolutely gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller, packed with twist after jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Lucinda Berry.

The Foster Daughter 

Written By Laura Wolfe 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Laura Wolfe, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

DANG!!! Laura Wolf takes you on a wickedly twisted roller coaster ride in her latest psychological suspense novel The Foster Daughter! This is a book you will need to clear your schedule as it is so intense you will just want to binge read it. Oh and the book sucks you in quickly as it is fast paced and totally addictive. You are going to want to put this one on the must read list. 

When I say there are wicked twists in this book I really mean there are some serious twists in this book. Some of the twists caught me off guard and I even said oh snap to! Laura was really good at throwing us off the path for a few things if not more. 

Laura created a very storyline that was very creative and was thought of outside of the box. I really loved that. Her story was unlike any I had ever read before.

The Noel Bridge 

Written By Jenny Hale 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Review

First, I want to thank Jenny Hale and Harpeth Road Press for providing me with this book so I may bring you with this review. 

The Noel Bridge is my favorite Christmas Story that Jenny Hale has written. It is a beautifully written story that will give you all the feels and thensome. Not to mention it will put love in your heart and an everlasting smile on your face! It is one that you will want to put on your tbr list. 

Kristen Ingebretson did a fantastic job with the cover design. It is so picturesque and represents The Noel Bridge so perfectly. 

I loved that Alicia’s job was a nurse in Orthopedics and that she was a natural nurturer. A great quality to have and one of many reasons I really enjoyed this character. 

My heart broke for the loss of Alicia’s fiancé Bo and all the heartache it had caused her. 

The Noel Bridge reads like a Hallmark Christmas Movie in my head. I felt like this book had something for everyone to enjoy from heading home to where you grew up, making wishes on a special bridge, locating a missing person, a little romance, finding yourself in the process. 

The Noel Bridge was set around Christmas time and there were definitely some devine miracles that came about. There were some very sweet bonding moments between some of the characters that will make you smile ear to ear.  It is for sure a feel good book 

I loved how special this bridge was and how people would come to make wishes and they would come true. We saw this time and time again come true in the book. But also how spirits one in particular guided two special people together that were meant for eachother. 

This is also a book about letting go of the past and following your heart to what you truly want, need and deserve in life.

 A Modern Midlife Christmas Carol

Christmas cheer was dead, to begin with.

The world rests on Eliza’s shoulders. The kids, her husband, work, her elderly mother and don’t forget her newest friend, perimenopause. It’s too much to carry, but she’s been doing it for years. It’s just what a good wife and mother does, isn’t it? 

When another Christmas rolls around, Eliza is drained by all the expectations and logistics of the holiday season. She’s fast approaching her breaking point, only no one around her notices she’s on the edge.

After an incident at her in-law’s on Christmas Eve brings things to a boiling point, she finds herself with three unexpected visitors. The spirits of the past, present, and future take her on a journey through her life to shake her out of the rut she’s gotten into. Their messages leave her with new possibilities: reconnect with her past, reclaim her present, or forge a new future, and you, the reader, decide which option is best!

A Modern Midlife Christmas Carol

Written By Alana Oxford

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Alana Oxford and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

Ohh A Modern Midlife Christmas Carol by Alana Oxford was the perfect read for me! Why do you ask? Because after reading all those psychological thrillers I read sometimes I just need a light, easy read that is going to make me laugh and this is just what Alana did. Plus, It was holiday themed and as long as you don't jinx the Buffalo, NY snow I will read Christmas books! Seriously though this is a quick fast paced read that can be read in one sitting and you will be smiling from ear to ear. 

Alana wants to dedicate this book to all the women in their 40’s (me) and beyond who are creating their stories every day. 

If I were Eliza I too would be livid with Jacob for canceling Christmas with My mom three weeks prior to go to his brothers house and leaving their traditions behind. 

There was a modernized twist to the old Ebineser Scrooge Christmas Carol that intertwined nicely with the storyline. 

There were many comical and sweet moments in this book. 

Alana did something that was unique and outside of the box at the end of the story she had three different endings and you got to see where the story would have led had you taken that path. Of course I wanted to read all three of them so I did.

I take a deep breath before I utter the words I’m terrified to speak out loud. My therapist waits, but nothing could prepare her for what I say next. ‘I think I killed my best friend…’

Three years ago, Alice and I went away for a fun weekend with our big group of friends. But at the end of the trip, police cars flooded the house where we were staying. Alice had been found. Dead. And no one knew what happened to her.

I’ve tried to remember the lost hours before her death, but only snapshots appear in my mind – Alice’s silk scarf, given to her by a secret boyfriend, the silly argument we had when she refused to tell me, and her relationship with Tom, the man who would later become my own husband…

Now, as I talk to my therapist, my heart pounds in my chest. Because I’ve had a breakthrough. And I start to remember that I was there when Alice took her last breath. I was standing over her… could I be her killer?

As my therapist begins to question all our friends, one thing becomes clear – we all have a different version of events. I’m certain someone close to me is keeping a deadly secret. How can I believe anyone around me, when I can’t even trust myself?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller, perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and The Silent Patient. Prepare to stay up all night to find out what really happened to Alice!

Luana Lewis is a clinical psychologist and writer of crime thrillers. Her fiction is inspired by professional experience. A specialist in anxiety disorders and teacher of advanced psychotherapy, she has worked in the NHS and at a specialist clinic for victims of trauma. She now writes and runs a private practice in the London area.

The Guilty Patient 

Written By Luana Lewis

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Review 

First, I want to thank Luana Lewis, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing this book so I can bring you this review. 

Luana Lewis brings us readers a different kind of psychological thriller that I am used to in her latest The Guilty Patient. Where one of the main characters point blank confesses killing someone hiding nothing. 

I loved how Luana made her prologue stand out with vivid descriptive details of the events that had been seen. This hooked me into the story wanting to know what happened to the poor girl. 

What I found interesting is Mia confessed to killing her only friend and best friend Alice but WHY?!!! When readers find out why it’s a shocker!!!! 

Through the story we learn a little more about Mia’s past

My daughter was murdered by my husband. Now I have a new little girl to look after. I have no idea who she is.

 

It’s been five years since my daughter was killed. It still hurts every day. I’ll never be over it but I am finally moving on with my life.

 

It’s pitch black when I wake up. I hear a child screaming outside. There’s a little girl is in my back yard. She can’t be older than five. She has terrified blue eyes.

 

Somebody has left her here.

 

When nobody claims her, I take her in. After all, I’m a professional foster parent. I will look after her like she’s my own child.

 

But she won’t even tell me her name. I have no idea who I’ve brought into my house.

The Foster Daughter

Written By Sonya Bateman

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Sonya Bateman, Joffe Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

WOW!!!  The Foster Daughter by Sonya Bateman is an incredibly intense read from the very getgo. This book is fast paced, intense, mindblowing, heartbreaking, and will bring out so many emotions out of you with this read. 

Being from Buffalo,  NY I really loved how one of the scenes were in Syracuse.
