Watching my beautiful rosy-cheeked baby Ava play in the sand, I can’t believe how much joy she’s brought me. I look at the gentle waves of the ocean sparkling in the sun. But when I turn back, Ava is gone…

Everyone rushes to the beach to help search for Ava, but there’s no trace of her anywhere nearby. My ex-husband Jimmy is just as terrified as I am. But I get an odd feeling from his new girlfriend, Leah. As she cradles my other two children, she doesn’t seem as panicked as Jimmy and me. How can she be so calm?

Then they show me footage of Ava on a bus, held tightly by an elderly woman who looks just like Leah’s mother. Leah couldn’t have anything to do with Ava’s disappearance, could she?

I’ve seen the way Leah clings tightly to Jimmy, how she has moulded herself into the perfect housewife, never letting him lift a finger and cooking my children’s favourite meals every day.

Then the police officer in charge fixes me with a cold stare as he asks me why I wasn’t paying attention to my daughter. Suggesting it’s my fault she’s gone… That my older two would be safer in Leah’s care.

Should I share my suspicions? What if the police are looking in the wrong place? Time is running out to find Ava, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get her back, but are my accusations about to tear my whole family apart?

Fans of Liane Moriarty, Jodi Picoult and Linda Green will be completely gripped by this jaw-dropping page-turner filled with heart-stopping, emotional twists.


Sam Vickery is an English author who loves gritty, emotional stories that can make you sob. As a child, she was forever getting in trouble for being caught with her nose in a book, and these days are no different. She lives on the south coast of England with her husband, two children and a cat that thinks it's a dog.

One Big Happy Family 
Written By Sam Vickery
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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


Once again Sam Vickery brings us another incredibly emotional read in One Big Happy Family. This is a book where you will want to rush and hold your little loved ones close and not let go. Yes, this is a book that is every parent's worst nightmare come true! Oh Sam surely pulled on my heartstrings and thensome with this book. 


Sam’s book was fast paced and immediately engulfed my attention into the story! I couldn’t imagine how this main character must have felt that day on that beach!! That scene I played in my mind like I was living it on the sidelines. 


I had a heart for many of the characters and the situations they were put in during this story. However, Macey I think I felt for the most. She was Ana’s sister and there the day the incident happened. However, she was in total shock and had not get out of it. I wanted to reach out to that character. And reach into the book and give her a big hug. 


Blown away by the climatic ending that you never saw coming!!

 Where Do We Go From Here? By Nick Alexander

When all seems lost, can she find herself again?

For years, Wendy has put others first. A loving wife, mother and nurse, she has never taken time for herself. But now with her children flying the nest, she decides, alone, to rent a little house in a forgotten corner of the French Alps where she can try and answer the question: what next?

But when she arrives, Wendy starts to regret her decision. This retreat suddenly looks so very different from the dream. As she walks the hill paths alone, thoughts of her family leave her with a pang in her chest.

With no one else to care for, Wendy is suddenly forced to confront something she’s tried her best to hide: the real reason her family is falling apart. Is she strong enough to face it alone?

Then, just when she thinks she’s hit rock bottom, she discovers that help can come from the most unlikely places: a newfound friendship giving her the strength to start again. Wendy always thought she knew how her story would end but she’s learning that this is only the beginning.

An absolutely heartbreaking and uplifting story about love, loss, unlikely friendships and finding strength you never knew you had. Perfect for fans of Mike Gayle, Amanda Prowse and Matt Haig.

They seem so happy. It’s all a lie…

THE WIFE:
My hands shake as I hand Mark his coffee, his rich caramel eyes heavy after another sleepless night. I know he’s hiding something, and it’s bad.

But then again, so am I. Under our bed there’s an envelope containing a secret that would turn our lives upside down, and that’s just the start. Mark doesn’t even know my real name.

I’m sure I can trust him, but there are things I can’t tell anyone. And Mark must never know the reason why we met, so soon after his first wife died…

THE HUSBAND:
I take the steaming mug from Drew, remembering the first time I saw her by the hospital coffee machine. She was grieving too and now we have a second chance at happiness.

But now I know what she’s been hiding in that box of old photographs, where she thought I’d never look. My wife has been lying about who she is.

I know Drew is scared and I’m going to find out why. But she clearly has no idea how far I’ll go for the people I love. Or the truth about what happened to my last wife…

A totally unputdownable and unbelievably twisty story of betrayal, lies and secrets that will have you gripped to every page and open-mouthed at the twists. Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Teresa Driscoll and Freida McFadden.

The New Marriage 
Written by LG Davis
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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


L.G. Davis is back with another intense, thrilling, fast paced, binge worthy psychological thriller in The New Marriage. It is a story that will hook you in the prologue and keep your attention with all the wicked twists and turns you won’t see coming. 


Every book L.G. Comes out more creative than the last. I often wonder where or how she comes up with her storylines. 


In The New Marriage the secret the Mother was hiding was huge!!! It was so wrong on so many levels for her to ask her son to keep the secret for her. When we the readers found out about the big secret and how it affected the other characters I was in total shock!!! This put a new spin on the whole book!! Then it led me to more questions! 


The New Marriage goes back and forth from present day to back in the day.
