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!

 Have I Told You Lately

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. And she won’t be able to rest until she finds the mysterious ‘G’ who sent the letters.

Emmie’s quest takes her to the breathtakingly beautiful Isle of Siskin and into the home of the gregarious, fiercely loyal Hawkins family. After an isolated and introverted life, the burst of colour and noise is overwhelming. But soon Emmie feels her heart begin to open, her mind begin to dream. And as her friendship with kind and gorgeous islander Pip Hawkins gets closer, endless possible futures draw into focus.

But the discovery of ‘G’s true identity will mean Emmie has to choose. One of her choices would mean revealing secrets hidden for decades, one could lead to happiness, but both will need Emmie to be braver than she’s ever been…

A truly uplifting, unputdownable, heart-warming and unforgettable read guaranteed to make you smile, read longer than you planned and punch the air with happiness at its beautiful ending. Perfect for all fans of Shari Low, Jill Mansell and Lucy Diamond.

Two sisters, one heartbreaking promise...

To everyone who knows them, Louisa and Tom are the perfect couple. They have two beautiful kids, Stan and Flo, and are about to celebrate ten years of being happily married. Life is perfect. But when Lou is dealt devastating news, that perfect life is turned upside down and Lou and Tom must reevaluate the very foundations their marriage is built on.

Holly can’t face the news that Lou is sick.

Determined to make the most of every last precious moment, Lou’s final wish for her family is to show them what it really means to live and love.

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.
