Synopsis:

A mysterious figure. A dead televangelist. A series of bizarre rituals.

 

Margo has spent most of her life without a family, and with a telekinetic gift she can't quite explain. Since losing her mother less than a year ago, she's felt more alone than ever. When her fiancé Sam takes her to his remote Iowa hometown to meet his family and begin planning their wedding, Margo quickly feels out of place among her future in-laws. Not only is their obsession with a deceased televangelist unsettling, but Margo has begun seeing a strange, mysterious figure from her past - a figure that she thought was put to rest with her mother's passing. But the more Margo tries to distance her past from her future with Sam, the deeper his family pulls her in, forcing upon her archaic, ritualistic traditions. As Margo unearths the family's dark web of secrets, she begins to suspect that she may have been brought here for a reason, and it may cost her her life.

 

In the psychologically unsettling vein of We Used to Live Hereand I'm Thinking of Ending Things, combined with the socially aware suspense of GET OUT, The Ever End unveils a twisted, feminist story that will keep readers guessing until the end, and stay with them long after that.

The Ever End

Written By Audrey Wilson

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Audrey Wilson and Bywater Books for providing me this book so I may bring you this review. 


Dang what did I just read?! Audrey Wilson totally blew my mind in her twisted out of the box Psychological Horror/Suspense novel The Ever End. I will be blunt. I was not sure if I was going to like this book as I am not a fan of books with religion, horror, etc. However, I am a fan of Aubrey’s past novels and wanted to read it. Oh I am so glad I did because I couldn’t tear my eyes off my Kindle!! This is a story everyone will be talking about!! 


This is a fast paced, addicting, binge worthy book that if you can stomach it you can devour it in one sitting like I did. 


The Ever End is one book where I think I disliked all but three characters in the book! Each of them either creeped me out or rubbed me the wrong way. Many times I started yelling at them through my Kindle! But seriously the whole time I am reading this book I kept thinking why in the world would Margo want to marry into this messed up family? 


Audrey really surprised me with all the wicked twists and turns when you least expected it. 


Margo and Rebecca’s storyline was one of my favorites in the book throughout all the other craziness. 


If you want something different that is going to keep you on your toes then I highly suggest this one.

Meet Andi. Devoted wife. Adoring mom. Killer?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blurb

 My daughter’s missing. And the police think I killed her.

Monday, 8 a.m. I go to wake up eight-year-old Bella to get her ready for school.

She’s not there.


 My husband Charlie and I put her to bed as usual the night before. We kissed her goodnight. Just like we always do.

Things like this don’t happen to people like us. Not in a quiet little town like Spencer, Michigan.

Detective Anne Briar is leading the case. I know she suspects I’m not telling her everything. I see it in the way her eyes narrow ever so slightly. And she’s right.

No one must ever know what really happened the night Bella disappeared.

Alesha’s Bio


Alesha Dykema is a thirty-something-year-old author of thriller novels. 


She lives in the dreadful Midwest with her strange husband, head-banging toddler son, a neurotic dog, and warden cat. 


Besides writing, Alesha loves to read (like every other author in the world). Alesha is also a health and fitness junkie and a dabbler in furniture refinishing. She is extremely anti-social and wishes she lived off-grid in the middle of the woods, but her husband hates good ideas and happiness and won’t allow this to happen. 


Even though she’s pretty anti-social, she still likes to make new friends and have casual chats about people’s childhood traumas.

If She’s Found 
Written By Alesha Dykema 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Alesha Dykema, Joffee Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


DANG!!! Alesha Dykema debut psychological thriller If She’s Found is every parent’s worst nightmare come true and thensome! It was insanely intense, gripping, thrilling, twisted, shocking and most of all heartbreaking. For me I found it to be a fast paced, totally addicting one day binge read. I could not put this book down! This is the first book of 2025 (I have read 7 so far) that I would rate a 5 on. Plus, this is her first book and she says she can only get better from here? Count me in as a fan of hers! I would gladly read her next book! Great job Alesha! All your hard work paid off! 


Nick Castle needs to be commended for his beautiful graphics on the cover of this book! It just pulled on my heart strings along with the cover I needed to see what the book was about. 


If She’s Found pulled on my heart strings hard for who would take sweet young Bella in the middle of the night? This is unlike any missing person story you have ever read before-trust me! Alesha thought way outside of the box with this one! There were wicked twists, turns, thrilling ups and downs, hidden secrets, heartbreaking scenes, revelations that will blow you away. 


I thought it was ironic in the book when the couple were watching Unsolved Mysteries when there was an unsolved mystery waiting to be solved!  


Many scenes played out in my mind like I was watching a scary movie and was glad I had my lights on! 


Alesha does address some important issues in the book that involve some of the characters. 


I highly suggest this book for your TBR list!

One photo and a handful of letters can change everything.

Emmie Brown has always known she was adopted. Nellie Brown sacrificed everything to make their life together comfortable and, while not the most demonstrative or warm woman, Emmie never doubted her devotion. But, when Emmie finds a stash of letters and a hidden photo after her mother’s death, everything she has believed changes in an instant.

Emmie’s quest takes her to the breathtakingly beautiful Isle of Siskin and into the home of the gregarious, fiercely loyal Hawkins family.

And as her friendship with kind and gorgeous islander Pip Hawkins gets closer, endless possible futures draw into focus.

A Mother’s Last Wish 
Written by Jo Bartlett 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Jo Bartlett, Boldwood Books, NetGalley and Rachel's Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


WOW!!!! Jo Bartlett’s A Mother’s Last Wish was an incredibly emotionally difficult book to read as I just lost my father in December. There were many many parts of the book where I found myself ugly crying (you will need tissues for this book). Jo wrote a very beautiful story with many insightful messages that went outside the box in creative writing. 


Jo dedicates this book to the two she couldn’t bear to leave Anna and Harry. 


In a Mother’s Last Wish Jo Bartlett educates her reader’s about Pancreatic Cancer that Louisa is diagnosed with and Breast Cancer that her twin sister Holly has. 


My heart went out to Lousia who just got diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and has two adorable young children. This is when my heart broke in a million pieces. I was blessed to have my Dad for 48 years..but these characters in the book wouldn’t have their Mom for that long. She wouldn’t get to see their big milestones and that tore me up. I was blessed to have that. I didn’t realize that til I read Jo’s book. 


My favorite part of the book was when they had Disney Movie night with Pizza and munchies and the characters Lilo and Stitch came for the kids! How cool was that? My kid at heart would be flipping out! 


There was a very unique twist to this story.

I told everyone she is my baby. I lied.

My life changes forever when my little girl appears in a basket on my doorstep, her long lashes fluttering, only a few hours old. She’s so tiny and precious; my heart is hers in an instant.

My husband Tom and I have always longed for a child, so we agree not to tell the authorities. We won’t risk them taking her away. And I know if they find out my history, they’d never let me keep her…

I’m so grateful to have my beautiful baby, who we call Daisy. But while Tom refuses to talk about it, I can’t stop wondering who her biological parents are and why they left her with us?

Then someone sends me a message, enclosing it in a funeral programme I find on my kitchen table. Now I know the terrible truth about what happened to Daisy’s parents, and it’s closer to home than I could ever have imagined.

I thought I could protect us all, despite my past mistakes. But when the secrets I uncover put my family’s lives at risk, how far will I go to keep the little girl I love?

An utterly heart-pounding and twisty psychological suspense novel from bestseller L.G. Davis. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Teresa Driscoll and Freida McFadden.

Stolen Baby 
Written By L.G. Davis 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

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


Fans of twisted psychological thrillers, you must run out and get your copy of Stolen Baby by L.G. Davis today!! Out of all the books she has written (and I have been a fan for a while now) this has to be my favorite!  It is phenomenal and deserves way more than 5 stars!! If you like missing person cases with a HUGE twist then you must read this book! 


Stolen Baby is addicting, edge of your seat, binge read, nail biting, gripping, suspenseful, twisted, shocking and heartbreaking. It's a story full of hurtful lies, betrayals, secrets and shocking revelations.If you blink you will literally miss something because she jumps time frames in the book quite often to keep you on your toes. 


L.G.’s story tugged hard on my heart strings as I felt for many of the characters and their situations. There were a lot of important situations that were addressed in this book that I think many find somewhat relatable. 


The climax and ending of Stolen Baby was perfection!!! Total perfection! I was left stunned in total shock! It was brilliant!! Never ever saw that coming!! I didn’t want it to end. I need more!!

#BooksonTour #FinalVictim #DetectiveMeganCarpenterBook6 #GreggOlsen #Bookouture #NetGalley

 

“Megan, you need to call me. Wallace was here. He left a message to say please don’t worry. He’s coming for you soon.” As I hang up the call, my blood runs cold. I’ve spent a lifetime running from this man. But as I look down at his next victim, their face frozen in one final moment of fear, I can’t escape the feeling that I will be next to die.

When the body of Detective Susan Dupont is discovered lying across the dividing line of two counties, 
Detective Megan Carpenter is immediately called to the scene. When her body is examined they find a sharp piece of metal has been lodged in her eye. A detail that takes Megan back to a deeply-buried memory which she has long been running from.

Twenty-four hours later, retired Detective Riley Denton is found dead at home. His death is deemed a tragic accident. He fell down the stairs and had no enemies. Why would anyone want him dead? But Megan feels sure there is a link to the deaths and there is only one person she can trust with her theory.

Calling in the help of her partner 
Detective Ronnie Marsh, they start to piece together a link that places Megan right at the centre of a deadly plot. As they race to find the killer before they strike closer to home, a string of murder victims going back years starts to emerge. And when Megan discovers how the murders are linked, she has to finally accept a dark truth she has spent her life running from.

A killer from her past is back just like they promised and they will stop at nothing to take everything she loves. Can Megan stop them dead in their tracks or will she pay the ultimate price?

A totally addictive mystery thriller that will have you racing to the end, from a number one, New York TimesWall Street Journal and Amazon Charts bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Michael Connelly and James Patterson.

The Final Victim 
Written By Gregg Olsen 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

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


Ohh how I have missed Gregg Olsen’s Detective Megan Carpenter’s Series! I have been a huge fan of the series since his first book came out. Even though I am sad to learn The Final Victim is Gregg’s last in the series-he saved the best twists for last. 


If you have not read any of Gregg’s Detective Megan Carpenter’s series I highly suggest you do because they are each amazing stories! However, you could read it as a standalone. I say this because Gregg refreshes the reader of the ups and downs of Megan’s past and how it has shaped the woman she has become now. 


Megan’s stalker Wallace brought out all the mysterious twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my comfy chair, wide eyed, and glued to my kindle. 


This was a twisted must read book that you have to add to your TBR list.
