When the worst comes calling…

Scott and Blair Bagby are a happy, successful English couple living in the suburbs with their teenage son and Great Dane. Life seems good, until one beautiful spring morning when a detective inspector knocks on their door asking if their son is home, unleashing an unspeakable horror that blows apart the life they thought they had.

Police have discovered bodies buried deep in the Peasedale forest and the inspector suspects one is Jamie, the final victim of a brutal and prolific serial killer. But Jamie’s death is unlike all the others, starting with his emergency phone call that leads to a macabre burial ground near a dilapidated hunting shack and creates shocking suspicions.

With bone deep grief threatening to destroy their marriage and their sanity, Scott and Blair set out to investigate Jamie’s death, a journey that not only upends their perceptions of who they are, but torturously reveals they may not have known Jamie at all…

Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian McAllister, and The Couple Next Door, The Other Boy is a dark psychological thriller about grief, guilt, and the devastating fear of discovering you never truly knew your child.

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book 

First, I want to thank Heidi Field, Tule Publishing and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

For once a book has made me speechless! Hold your kids a little tighter as The Other Boy by Heidi Field is every parent's worst nightmare come true and then some!! This is one of the most intensely emotional and mentally that pulled me in so hard into the storyline. Usually, I can binge read a book but this one I had to let it marinate with me over a few days before I could finish it.  It was just mind blowing and so out of the box compared to other stories! For this reason Heidi has a new fan, it gets 5 stars and The Other Boy is now my new favorite book of 2026!! 

The Other Boy is fast paced, addicting, gripping, twisted, secrets, revelations, betrayals, heartache, graphic scenes, full of suspense, and so much more!! 

My heart totally ached for Blair who we both found out together that she lost her son. Having lost someone very dear to me a year ago I could understand and sympathize with her on many levels. I love how she was able to see and hear Jamie (her late son) around her. In a way it gave her peace. 

Now, if you like this book you are in for a treat because I know for fact she has two other books in the series coming up. The Other Mother is next in the series!! Oh I have not been this excited to read or invested in a series since Gregg Olson’s Detective Meghan Carpenter’s series. That was an intense series that was also written like it could have been ripped from a headline.

This heart-warming second chance love story about hope and healing from a USA Today bestselling author is perfect for fans of Raeanne Thayne and Jenny Hale! 

For a gardener blessed with a green thumb, Savannah Collins’s life sure seems like it’s all thorns and zero roses. She has no job, no relationship, and no place to live. With nothing but a car full of plants and her new rescue kitten, Savannah heads to Bloom, North Carolina, to spend the summer with her beloved Aunt Eleanor, a retired librarian.

Her aunt shares her love of literature with the Finders Keepers Library, located in her beautiful garden, where anyone can stop by to take or leave a book. When a sudden summer storm destroys the library and many of the roses, it will take a village to get everything ready for the garden wedding taking place in just three weeks.

As the entire town joins in to make the necessary repairs, Savannah bonds with their neighbor Evan Sanders over the books that Eleanor has specially handpicked for each of them. Savannah only intends to stay through the summer, but when an unexpected job offer, a sudden health crisis, and a wayward pre-teen push her future in new directions, she has to wonder whether this is the place that she is meant to be—and the family she’s meant to be with.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

WOW!! I absolutely fell in love with Annie Rains beautifully written story The Finder Keepers Library!! She is a new to me author that was compared to another favorite of mine Jenny Hale! If you love second chance romance stories like I do you need to check this one out. Annie will put a smile on your face, tug on your heartstrings, and believe in love once again. Not going to lie what first drew me was the gorgeous cover design created by Sara Congdon and well the title!! What book lover doesn’t want to read about a library? The storyline is just as good as the cover!! 

In the beginning of each chapter Annie did something so unique. She incorporated a cute graphic of an open book with flowers coming out of it! So perfect since gardening and flowers are a theme in this book. Alongside the graphics she lines from famous authors from their books. 

Annie Rains touched on many important topics in The Finders Keepers Library. One of those many topics was Lupus. I thought she did a great job educating her readers about all angles of the disease! This being said, I was not a fan of Randall!! Oh no!! He had no heart whatsoever!! Savannah was so much better without him!! Ohh I was fuming at him!!! 

Out of all of the characters in the book Savanah, Evan and June were the ones that put a smile on my face! 

Annie Rains The Finders Keepers Library gets 4 stars from me! It is a book you will want to put on your TBR list for sure! I would gladly read from her again!

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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

Dang!!! Nora Valters latest Psychological Thriller is insanely intense, incredibly fast paced, and addicting right from the start. His First Girlfriend is a totally out of the box creative storyline that will have you at the edge of your comfy chair waiting to see what happens!! Just when you think you know what will happen Nora pulls a fast one on you!! 

Nora, I was hooked on His First Girlfriend within the first three sentences of your prologue! The description of the character from the prologue had me dying to know more about her and the storyline. 

In His First Girlfriend Nora gave me an extensive eye opening education on all things Dark Web. That storyline I found very interesting. 

This book is filled with major family drama, deep dark secrets, lies, twists and turns, jaw dropping moments that are unbelievable!!! It is an incredible 5 star read!!
