My little girl has vanished. And I can’t tell anyone…

My nine-year-old daughter Hollie should be leaving school smiling and laughing with all the other children but she’s not here. I run frantically, checking everywhere, myvoice growing louder, but I can’t see her bright blue eyes and heart-shaped face anywhere. Pure panic washes over me. This is my worst nightmare.

Her teacher asks me if she should call the police. My heart stops.I shake my head and pretend I’ve made a mistake. I see a look of suspicion creep into the teacher’s eyes. But the police can’t know. No one can. My hands shake as I realise I’m completely on my own.

I know in my gut my daughter hasn’t just wandered off. She’s been taken. Someone must know the truth about my past…

I’ve spent so long protecting Hollie, but I always knew this day might come. And I’ll stop at nothing to get my little girl back.

An absolutely nail-biting, addictive psychological thriller novel from multi-million-copy, bestselling author JD Kirk. This book is sooooo fast-paced you won’t be able to put it down! For anyone who loves Freida McFadden, John Marrs and T.M. Logan.




JD Kirk lives in the Highlands of Scotland with his wife, two children, and a number of sturdy umbrellas. He also doesn't exist. JD is, in fact, the pen name of award-winning author, comic book writer and screenwriter, Barry Hutchison, who also, coincidentally, lives in the Highlands with his wife, two children, and the aforementioned umbrellas.
He has no idea what the 'JD' bit stands for.

My Daughter is Missing 
Written by JD Kirk
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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


DANG!! Buckle your seatbelts because JD Kirk is going to take you for a rollercoaster of a ride in My Daughter is Missing!! His story is incredibly fast paced, addictive, binge readable, totally twisted, and had me kept asking what in the world happened to Hollie!!


My Daughter is Missing grabbed my interest pretty quickly with JD’s gripping prologue. After that I was hooked on the book and stayed up till wee hours of the night to finish it. 


This base storyline is everyone's mother's worst nightmare come true in having your young daughter go missing at a school event!! I could totally feel all the feelings she was going through at the time! I may not have kids but I would feel the same way if someone did that to my niece or nephew.


However, this was not your average missing child case! There were some pretty dark hidden secrets that Rebecca was hiding that needed to be kept hidden and for good reasons too. So, it made the book more interesting to read for her to take matters into her own hand to find her daughter before anyone else did! 


There were so many shocking moments that I didn't see coming at all! JD had me guessing up until the very end of it!!

Darling Girls

Written By Sally Hepworth

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

WOW!! I am so thankful my book club decided to read Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth! I had never read anything by her but that will soon change! Her storyline was completely out of the box compared to other psychological thrillers! Which is one of the major reasons I loved it so much! It was fast paced, addicting, and binge readable! 


Darling Girls main theme was sisterhood within the foster care facility. They may not have been blood related but they shared a very special bond. Reading this book I kept picturing the movie Annie and her friends in the orphanage with Mrs. Hannigan. 


My heart ached when Alicia lost her Granny! I felt the exact same way when I lost my Dad 4 months ago. Sally wrote a line in the book that brought me to tears. That line was with Grammy dead, nothing will ever be right again. That is so very true!! 


Amy’s story totally blew me away!!! It was one of the most interesting storylines of the whole book. Not to mention the huge twist at the end that was omg!!

Lucy will carry Sophie’s child. But she does want something in return…

 

Sophie should be the happiest woman in the world. A good job. A nice home. Best of all, married to Matt, the love of her life.

 

But there’s one thing she doesn’t have – a baby. She knows that without a child of her own to love, she will never feel complete. This emptiness at the center of her life is driving her to the edge of madness.

 

Then Lucy, her best friend forever, comes back to live in their home town - and offers to have a baby for Sophie.

 

Which sounds wonderful. But Sophie doesn’t realize that Lucy has a sinister agenda of her own. And together they are about to take a journey to the innermost circle of hell.

The Surrogate 
Written By Iain Maitland 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Iain Maitland, Inkubator Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


WOW!! Iain Maitland totally blew my mind with The Surrogate! Iain started it off one way and gave it multiple twists and some major omg bombshells!!! Oh these bombshells you did not see coming at all and I am still in shock over it. This was definitely a fast paced one sitting binge read.


The graphics of the book caught my attention straight away. How could you love a pair of cute little baby shoes and wonder what the book would be about. That and the name caught my eye. It made me want to know what the book was about. 


My heart broke for Sophie as she had everything she wanted in life except for a baby to call her own. She and her husband tried everything from the old fashioned way to many rounds of IVF and nothing. 


When I say there are so many twists in this story I seriously mean there are so many twists and turn!! There are many jaw dropping storylines as well. If you like action packed scenes well Iain has you covered as well. Safe to say he has a little bit of everything for every reader including sexy bits.
