Secrets Among Thorns

She's been missing for 10 years, but can a gut feeling unravel the truth?

Carol, is a mother struggling to hold her family together in the aftermath of her brother-in-law Luke's terminal diagnosis. As Carol and her husband Darren grapple with this tragedy, their daughter Lauren mysteriously vanishes. This inciting incident sets the stage for a decade-long mystery that consumes Carol and Darren's lives, straining their already tumultuous marriage.

Years later, Brenda, a 63-year-old woman who is partially retired, becomes obsessed with Lauren's disappearance after seeing her face in a local newspaper. Despite her husband Alan's scepticism, Brenda feels a profound spiritual connection to the case and is convinced that she is meant to help uncover the truth.

Does Brenda know something she shouldn't? What secrets are the family hiding? And, who is lying?

Secrets Among Thorns 

Written By JA Andrews 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank JA Andrews, BookGoSocial, Rachel's Random Resources and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


YES!!! JA Andrews is back with another psychological thriller and oh how I have missed his books! I have been a die hard fan of his since his first book Mummy Boy. Since his debut book his stories have gotten darker and gone down different paths. Secrets Among Thorns is unique in that it not only is a psychological thriller but has some paranormal/sci-fi aspects to it as well that makes for great read. 


Secrets Among Thorns is the perfect title for this fast paced quick read that was so addicting that I devoured it in one afternoon. Not sure why but I have always been a fan of missing person cases in books. JA will pull on your heart strings with Lauren being missing for 10 years and her parents trying to find her.  Usually not really into sci-fi or paranormal however the way it was used in this book it really made the storyline so much more interesting. 


Secrets Among Thorns was a book that had so many betrayals, earth shattering secrets, and heartaches that totally blew my mind. JA did an amazing job with keeping me guessing that I was too blindsided by one bombshell after another to figure anything out!! But when I did OMG!!! This ginger snapped!!! JA This is your best written book to date!! It deserves more than 5 stars!!

What I’m about to say is going to blow our lives apart. I’ve tried so hard to keep it from you, not wanting to cause you pain. But I can’t hide it any longer. You deserve the truth. But I don’t know if there’s any coming back from this. And I’m terrified you won’t ever forgive me…

There’s nothing as strong as a mother’s love. As I watch my youngest daughter stride into her new life as a student, a sob catches in my throat. It feels like only yesterday that my two precious girls were playing together without a care in the world. I sacrificed so much to give them the life they deserved and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Looking at my husband Robert, tears in his eyes, I realise just how far we’ve come. Our daughters have flown the nest and now it’s time to re-kindle our own flame. So, when our long-lost friend Lucy invites us to her Spanish villa, I jump at the chance.

But when we arrive, instead of it being a romantic break, Robert begins to pull away from me. His conversation is muted, he goes for long walks on the beach alone and then I find a crumpled note on the bedside table and Robert has vanished.

In that moment, my entire world shatters. My husband has been keeping a devastating secret from me. But in order to find out just how much it will destroy our family, I will have to reveal something that I too have kept hidden. And once my own secret is out, will my family ever forgive me for what I did?

A totally unputdownable and heart-wrenching read about family secrets and how far we will go to protect those we love the most. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.

We Both Have Secrets

Written By Emma Robinson

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 


First, I want to thank Emma Robinson, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


Buckle up Emma Robinson Fan’s as the goddess of tearjerkers is back to take you on another emotional rollercoaster ride! We Both Have Secrets had me reaching for the tissues as the tears escaped my eyes for this one. If you like emotionally driven books with a lot of family drama, a little bit of mystery, and a lot of heart then this book is for you. 


Emma wants to dedicate this book to Nina and thanks her for her unwavering support. 


The graphics department did a beautiful job for the cover of We Both Have Secrets! 


Emma had my heart in my chest and scrambling for the tissues in the very first line of the prologue! I swear she knows what to say to trigger me to set off the waterworks! Then again that is one reason I love her books. She writes important stories that need to be written with a lot of heart and soul that will touch your heart in more ways than one. This is just one of the many that hit me harder than normal. 


Robert was keeping many painful deep secrets from his wife and children that would leave them heartbroken if they found out. Many of the aspects of the story were especially painful for me to read. I usually devour her books in one sitting but this one I had to read over a few days. A few things in the book hit closer to home this time around.
