For years, the world watched Jon & Kate Plus 8 through a lens of curated joy. But while the cameras captured the milestones, they missed the moments that defined Collin Gosselin’s life: the Christmas morning where the gifts were reclaimed as soon as the cameras went down, and the basement room where silence was his only companion.

In the Shadow of Eight is the first account of a secret childhood lived in the gaps between the frames. Collin is finally sharing the truth about being held down, the basement cell where he was hidden for years, and the cocktail of powerful antipsychotics forced on an eleven-year-old boy. This is a reckoning with the dark side of fame: the systems, the entourage, and the institutions that allowed one boy to be erased. This is the never before told story of how he escaped and found his way back from the dark.

Collin Gosselin is one of eight children of Jon and Kate Gosselin, featured on the popular TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8. Born in 2004, he is now 22 years old and has begun to speak out on his true experiences behind the scenes.

It’s every mother’s worst nightmare…

Kim arrives early at the school gates, bursting with excitement to see her daughter, Molly, after a week-long history trip. Shy and a little anxious, time away from her loving parents is a big deal for Molly – but the emoji-filled texts Kim’s been receiving all week prove her daughter has been having the time of her life. But when the bus pulls up, Molly’s seat is empty. Her teachers say she never went on the trip… 

As the search for Molly begins, distraught Kim feels like the police are dragging their feet and the school is acting a little too defensive. And with each precious day that passes, the secrets that bind Kim’s tight-knit community begin to unravel. Why isn’t Kim’s best friend by her side? And why is her husband acting so shady?

Nothing matters to Kim but bringing Molly home safe. With nowhere to turn and no one left to trust, only Kim can find her. And she’s running out of time…

A totally unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you up all night reading. Perfect for anyone who loves Freida McFadden, Andrea Mara, and Jeneva Rose.

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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

WOW!! I just realized it has been a hot minute since I have read any of Samantha Hayes books! I forgot what an incredible writer she was until I picked up her latest psychological thriller Molly is Missing. If you follow my reviews then you know how much I love missing person case books. This one I just couldn’t turn down. It looked good. Let me tell you it was soo good!! Once I started reading it I was hooked! I was up way past my bed time til the wee hours of the morning. I am now nursing a book hangover as I write this review and drink my much needed coffee. Ohh but it was so worth it to find out what really happened to Molly!!

Samantha Hayes totally hooked me within the first few lines of the prologue!! We the reader being a fly on the wall looking onto something that shouldn’t be happening. Wondering what is to happen next. Fearful for that person that was just written about. I had to read on!

Molly is Missing is every parents worst nightmare and thensome!!!! Picture this when you think your daughter is on an overseas school trip but there is no sign of her! Nobody has heard from her at school! Where is she?

There was a scene in the book that detailed how Molly was feeling. My heart went out to her and was praying that it was her chance of freedom. 

In Molly is Missing there are so many deep dark secrets with mind blowing revelations! After reading this book you will want to hold your child a little tighter. Plus, you may want to make sure they get to their destination safely.

One Missing Girl by Kristi Belcamino

THREE COUPLES. THREE DAUGHTERS. ONE MISSING GIRL.

My husband and I are hosting a party this evening — just for the

adults. Our daughters are all leaving for college. We’ve raised them

together , watched them grow up together , and now we’re drinking

champagne beneath the fairy lights, pretending we’re ready to let them

go.

Kate is mine. Brilliant. Funny . The kind of girl who lights up every room

she walks into.

Lily has been her best friend since kindergarten. Shy , anxious, always

half a step behind her .

And finally there’s Julia. Beautiful, loyal — and fearless.

I never thought I’d get a life like this. Not with a past like mine. But here

I am, with a husband who adores me and friends who’ve become

family . We drink, we dance. I go to bed happy .

By morning one of the girls is missing.

Mine.

I thought I knew these people. My husband. My oldest friends. Their

daughters.Someone among us is lying about that night. But they’ve made a

terrible mistake. They don’t know what I’m capable of. Not yet.

One Missing Girl

Written By Kristi Belcamino

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Kristi Belcamino, Joffe Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

Dang! Kristi Belcamino wrote a wickedly twisted thought outside of the box storyline in One Missing Girl. It is so incredibly different from anything out there. It is a breath of fresh air. It was addictive, fast paced, suspenseful, full of secrets, and so much more. 

Loved how Kristi says how she writes the way Stephen King does-what scares him!! Interesting to find out that she was a newspaper crime beat reporter and the scary things that kept her up all night landed in her books. 

As the title suggests One Missing Girl is just that! Kate is missing and her parents are frantically looking for answers to where she could be.      

To me I thought the boyfriend seemed like a very shady character and wondered if he had anything to do with her disappearance.      

The Mom seemed like she had a troubled past as well with her family. We get a glimpse of this as her backstory is told as well.
