I just wanted to get fit for my wedding day. To look my best when I marry Seb. He made me

believe in love again, after the tragic death of my first husband.

So I hire Claudia, a personal trainer.

At first, she’s perfect. All golden hair, gleaming teeth and relentless positivity. Workouts, meal

plans, constant messages checking in.But then she starts turning up at my door, unscheduled; hanging around in my local park. She’s

crossing boundaries.

Maybe I’m paranoid. After all, everyone says I’m moving too fast with Seb. But he’s just right for

me. He lost his partner just like I did. And he’s doing his best to bring up his teenage daughter

– who doesn’t seem too keen on having a stepmother. But she’ll come round, with time and

patience.

One evening, I’m pulling a bottle of wine from the fridge when I spot something on the kitchen

counter. A photo in a tiny, plastic frame. A headshot of a young woman. She has large, hazel

eyes, shiny blonde hair. She’s so pretty.

She looks familiar, but I can’t place her. Then it comes to me: it’s Seb’s dead wife.

I look out the window into the darkness.

My personal trainer is parked outside my house . . . She’s looking straight at me.

The Personal Trainer

Written by Rebecca Collomosse 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Rebecca Collomosse, Joffee Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

Dang!!! Rebecca Collomosse is a creative genius writing outside of the box with The Personal Trainer. This book is unlike any psychological thriller right now on the market that you have read! That being said, usually I can dive right into a book and binge it. However, with this book not so much. Never in my reading career have I been annoyed by a character as I was by Claudia!!! 

I loved Nick Castle’s graphic cover design on The Personal Trainer! It is the perfect design for the cover! 

Yes, Claudia rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways!! As someone who used to be 303lbs (now 116lbs) I can appreciate Juliet reaching out to Claudia, a personal trainer for weight loss and fitness tips to get in shape for her wedding. Even though Seb loved her for the way she was. However, Claudia always was going overboard in giving harsh advice on what not to eat and why! Oh she made me cringe with all her Claudia notes to Juliet! Each is more annoying than the next, especially the one about Seb!! Never did I dislike a character in a book so much as I did this one!! I was so close to giving up reading this book because of Claudia!! 

Loved how Seb and Juliet met on an online widows support group. Seb had just lost his wife Jessie to a heart attack and Juliet lost her husband Matt in a car crash. Both bonding over tragedy that brought them to eachother. 

Ohh this book is so twisted!! Take a wild stab at who we have to thank for that? You would never in a million years figure out this ending!!! 

Side note I am glad my personal trainer is some sweet old man from the YMCA and is proud of my accomplishments so far.

You can change your name. Change your life. But someone knows exactly who you are.
Twenty years ago, Mason Tucker was tried and convicted as the teenager who helped lure young boys to the serial killer known as the Pied Piper of Peasedale. After serving his twenty-year sentence, Mason is freed and hopes to remain invisible while he rebuilds his life as an adult, hoping to become a man he can be proud of. A new town, a new flat, a new job and a new purpose.
But living with secrets is challenging, and protecting his anonymity, the woman who stood beside him, and her child becomes impossible when the past pushes back. Hard. Within days of his release, Mason suspects he’s being stalked. He’s threatened and twice attacked. He never imagined being outside would be more dangerous than being in prison. The police aren’t an option. One headline will destroy him.
Someone wants him punished, not redeemed, and as danger closes in, you will never suspect where the next threat comes from.

First, I want to thank Heidi Field, Tule Publishing and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


DANG!!! If you are not reading Heidi Field’s The Peasedale Woods Killer Series what are you waiting for?! Seriously, she has instantly become one of my favorite psychological thriller authors. Each book in the series has been better than the next. However, The Other Killer, the final book in the series, was Heidi’s best of the best. Heidi was able to answer a lot of questions us readers had from past books. 


Croco Designs did a great job creating the cover for The Other Killer. It created that creep factor. 


I highly suggest that if you have not read Heidi’s other two books in the series The Other Boy and The Other Mother that you do so. You will get a better idea of the characters and the backstory. If you read this one before reading the other two books you may be a little bit lost. Not to mention those storylines are so deep, dark and twisted! 


So, If you read the other books in the series then you are in for a treat in The Other Killer! In this book we get the opportunity to meet Mason after he gets out of prison and see the man he has become. On the flip side Heidi takes us back to where it all first started and how he landed in prison. We also get to meet Gunner himself. This is the book the fans have been waiting for to hear his side of the story! 


Heidi got a little spicy this time around with Mason and Gracie. Then again cooped up all those years with no female interaction yeah he deserved that night. Then again on the flip side mention he did get some male fun in prison. Only to later find out he was groomed by Gunner for that act as a kid. Which was a lot to take in.


One of the recurring themes in the book was second chances. Mason made a point in every situation to be a better man in every situation. Sometimes he succeeded and sometimes he could have done better.


Heidi had so many incredible twists and turns in this book that it was crazy!! Especially the intense climatic jaw dropping ending that left me speechless!! Never saw that one coming!! The Other Killer is another book to add to your growing TBR list!! This is a series people should be talking about because it is an amazing series by a truly talented author that has a gift in this genre!!

Under Her Care

Written By Fiona Gartland

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Fiona Gartland and Bloodhound Books for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Under Her Care was just the Medical Thriller that I have a craving for and Fiona Gartland did not disappoint. Her book was fast paced, addicting, incredibly descriptive, detailed, fascinating if you love all things medical like I do!  

OMG!! WOW!! Fiona’s prologue was incredibly intense!!!  I give phlebotomists a great deal of respect as they have a nerve wracking job! I know I am not an easy stick as I have terrible veins. Many times I am treated like a pin cushion poked multiple times just to find one vein. 

I loved how before each chapter Fiona would quote St. Francis Xavier’s Nursing Code of Professional Ethics. Each quote pertained to the upcoming theme of the chapter. 

There was one storyline that I loved regarding a patient giving Beth concert tickets to see Taylor Swift!! My first thought was WOW what an incredibly thoughtful and generous gift!! Any Swifie would have loved to have gotten a free ticket to the show!! However, her boss had other ideas for the tickets!! Ohh I would have been livid!!! 

Not going to lie there were elements to the story that was emotionally hard for me to read but I got through it. This lead up the to a very eye opening shocking reveal at the end!! One that was even more hard to swallow than before!! This is a book that will have people talking!
