But with her in my house, looking through my things, it’s going to be difficult to keep the secrets about my marriage hidden...

Sophie: Charlotte didn’t recognize me. That isn’t surprising. She seems frantic, and I know she’s not sleeping. I hear her tossing and turning while I rock her baby to sleep. When Jordan stares up at me with those big blue eyes, my heart melts. Charlotte doesn’t deserve such a gorgeous child. Not after what she did.

It’s clear to anyone that Charlotte isn’t coping. All she needs is a little push to send her over the edge… And then I’ll finally get what I really came for.

What Every Mother Needs
Written By Emily Shiner
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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


Emily Shiner is back with another twisted psychological thriller in What Every Mother Needs. Now, please understand I am a huge Emily Shiner fan and have loved all of the books I have read by her. She is one of my favorite authors! I am always excited when a new book of hers comes out. Sadly this was not one of my favorites. However, just because I didn’t care for it doesn’t mean that you won’t. 


Emily would like to dedicate this book to everyone impacted by Hurricane Helene. 


Emily instantly tugged on my heartstrings in her prologue as I have a soft spot for babies. 


It was interesting and out of the box that Emily would incorporate the Help Needed sign into the first chapter of the book. I liked how detailed the job description was. 


My heart went out to Charlotte for the recent loss of her husband Lawrence. I totally can feel her pain when she mentions that she didn’t expect to miss him as much as she did. I lost my Dad 5 months ago and it doesn’t get easier! 


One thing that I found very odd was Lawrence's sister showing up totally out of the blue. A sister Charlotte never ever heard him speak about. So why was she showing up now? So many questions surrounding that storyline. 


There was a very interesting mystery surrounding little baby Jordan. It got complicated and very messy with lots of shock value for all parties involved.
