She thought she’d escaped her poisonous past…

Thirteen years ago, Maggie Ellis left her small town and vowed to never return. In her rearview mirror were two men she loved and an ominous secret that would forever haunt her. 

Now, tragedy has brought her back and she’s determined to forget that fateful night. But in a town like Myers, with familiar faces and chilling memories lurking around every corner, moving on is easier said than done. 

Before the ink can dry on the closing documents of her new residence, Maggie begins to feel unsettled. In every room, there’s the unmistakable sensation she’s being watched. The strange sounds, odd smells, and bizarre occurrences only add to her paranoia.

There’s something sinister about her new home…

When she discovers the devastating truth about the house and its grim history, Maggie’s worst fears are realized. In order to survive, she must unearth the secrets she’d always planned to keep buried.

After all, they say home is where the heart is, but as Maggie knows, home is where the skeletons lie too.

Seamlessly blurring the edges between psychological thriller and romantic suspense, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a dark and twisted romantic thriller, perfect for fans of Verity, Tell Me Lies, The Ghost Writer, and YOU.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I must thank Kiersten Modglin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review!

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Kiersten Modglin constantly seems to amaze me as she continuously exceeds readers expectations! She thought outside of the box and incorporated my two favorite genres: psychological thrillers mixed with romance suspense. She even pushed boundaries that we have not seen in other books! Needless to say that I loved everything about this book!! Infact, it is my favorite book of 2023 and my new favorite of Kiersten’s! 

Hemlock is extremely fast paced, intriguing, suspenseful, thrilling, nail-biting, jaw dropping, twisted, drama filled, and oh so spicy!! It is a book where one minute she pulls on your heart string and the next minute you are yelling at your kindle. 

I can’t stress how much I loved everything about this book! It was so good I didn’t want it to end! I may even re-read it and I have never done that before! It was that good! What are you waiting for to go out and buy it! See why I can’t stop raving about it!! Put it at the top of your tbr list and then clear your schedule for the day! 

My question for Kiersten is how will you top your next book? I can’t wait to find out!

Love Offline: Looking For Romance In Real Life…

  

Dating is hard. 

  

As an introvert, I’d rather sit at home swiping right on the guy with the hot abs or exchange messages and memes online than meet up in person. 

  

But when my cheating ex’s engagement is splashed all over social media, my best friend sets me a challenge. 

  

‘Emily Robinson,’ she warns. ‘You won’t find a decent man on your stupid phone. Ditch the dating apps for two months and look for love offline. Follow my plan and I guarantee it’ll change your life.’ 

  

Yeah, right.

  

Her crazy idea has disaster written all over it. How can I go from hermit to social butterfly in just eight weeks? But for some reason, I agree. 

  

Attending a load of singles’ events and disappointing dates is mortifying. And just as I’m about to hide under my duvet indefinitely, I meet Josh. 

  

He’s funny, kind and so handsome. But I know there’s something he’s not telling me… 

  

Will opening my heart to Josh lead to love or will he make me wish I’d stayed at home? 

--- 

Packed with hilarious dates, romance, steamy scenes, secrets and a twist, Love Offline is a funny, heart-warming read about stepping out of your comfort zone and falling in love the old-fashioned way. Gorgeous happy ending guaranteed!

About Me

Hi there! Very nice to meet you.

Whilst I love every second of penning my novels, writing about myself isn’t so easy... Where to begin?

Okay, so I’m a forty-something Londoner who loves cake and has always had a burning desire to write a novel. But it wasn’t until January 2016 that I was driven to take the leap. A close friend suddenly passed away and realising that life was too short not to start pursuing my dream, I set myself a goal to become a published author. Two and a half years (plus bucket loads of blood, sweat and tears) later in July 2018, my first-ever shiny book, The Middle-Aged Virgin became available on Amazon. It was definitely a pinch-me-is-it-real moment!

Seven months later in February 2019, I published my second novel Only When It’s Love to rave reviews (read more here). My third book Losing My Inhibitions was released in June 2019 and novel number four, Love Offline followed in November 2019.

I write under the pen name Olivia Spring to spare the blushes of those who know me and may read the racy sex scenes included in my books. Becoming an author has always been a lifelong dream and as writing is now my full-time focus, I am finally fortunate enough to call my passion my career. That means I get to spend my days sitting at my desk or in the park (and occasionally, if I’m really lucky, on a nice Mediterranean beach!), creating cool characters and stories to share with you.

Thanks for your support. Words can’t describe how much I appreciate you buying my books and sending me lovely messages and emails letting me know how much you’ve enjoyed reading my novels. It’s because of you that I am able to do what I love for a living and for that I am eternally grateful.

My friends-to-lovers romantic comedy novel 'My Ten-Year Crush' is available on Amazon now: https://amzn.to/2WivZlW

Author Bio – 

Award-winning author Julia Ibbotson herself spent an exciting time in Ghana, West Africa, teaching and nursing (like Jess in her books), and always vowed to write about the country and its past. And so, the Drumbeats Trilogy was born. She’s also fascinated by history, especially by the medieval world, and concepts of time travel, and has written haunting time-slips of romance and mystery partly set in the Anglo-Saxon period. She studied English at Keele University, England, specialising in medieval language, literature and history, and has a PhD in linguistics. She wrote her first novel at age 10, but became a school teacher, then university lecturer and researcher. Her love of writing never left her and to date she’s written 9 books, with a 10th on the way. She’s a member of the Romantic Novelists Association, Society of Authors and the Historical Novel Society.
