It was the perfect place to grow up…and the perfect place to die.

After experiencing a personal tragedy, Carmen McKenna finds Hunter’s Hollow—a bustling campground in rural North Carolina—to be her new home and worst nightmare.

Despite the promises of a chosen family and a safe place to grow up, living next door to the Hunters’ two sons comes with its own set of challenges. Jack and Dean introduce Carmen to a world she’s never known—one filled with young love, first heartbreak, and sinister secrets.

When a body is found at Hunter’s Hollow, instantly shattering the tranquil façade that has surrounded the campground, the residents are forced to accept the truth: a killer is among them.

As the police search for answers to no avail, Carmen leaves the campground in hopes of clearing her mind and healing her broken heart.

Now, eleven years later and with the case still unsolved, Carmen returns to face the past and discover the truth about that terrible night. Before she can, a guest is reported missing from the campground and the circumstances are all too similar to the horror Carmen once faced.

They say you can’t go home again, but when buried secrets call to Carmen from Hunter’s Hollow, she’s determined to learn the truth about what happened back then—and what’s happening now—if it’s the last thing she does.

Returning to once again blur the edges between psychological thriller and romantic suspense, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a sun-soaked, nostalgic, and completely twisted romantic thriller.

The Hollow

Written By Kiersten Modglin

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Kiersten Modglin for providing this book for me so I can bring you this review. 

If you were a fan of Kiersten Modglin’s Hemlock (like I was) you will adore her latest The Hollow! Like Hemlock she throws in a little romance within her mystery.

My heart broke for Carmen as I read about the passing of her father and all her emotions around it. I can only imagine how hard these scenes were for Kiersten to write as well. 

Fans of Kiersten’s romantic storylines will love the love triangle between Carmen, Jack and Dean! This storyline is big on drama and even some spice! Oh but don’t worry there are some wicked twists and turns that lead up to an explosive ending. 

If you are a fan of camping and campgrounds then this is the book for you as well. It has an errie feel to it when you learn about the mysterious part of the story. 

Kristen will instantly hook you into this fast paced, one sitting, addicting must read book!

When his brother isn’t right behind him, I start to worry… and then I get a text that makes my blood run cold. If you want your child to come home, your husband needs to tell the truth.Is my husband hiding even darker secrets than his affairs? As I realise his double life has put my children in terrible danger, I make a promise: I will not let my husband’s lies destroy my life. And I will do anything to get my son back…

A totally addictive page-turner about terrible secrets within a marriage, perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and Sally Hepworth.

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because-as her professor pointed out- 'It's not meant to be a story.' She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree in Children's Literature.

The idea for her first published novel, The Boy under the Table, was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. She went on to publish a further five novels in Australia before joining Bookouture in 2019. She is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller in the USA, UK, AUS and CAN.

She lives in Sydney with her husband and three children.

His Double Life

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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

DANG!!! Nicole Trope’s latest psychological thriller is so wickedly jaw droppingly good!! Ohh this book is insanely twisted that I found myself yelling at the characters in the book!! This is unlike any book Nicole has ever written. For that fact you need to put it on your TBR list!

My mind was blown away instantly with the bombshells that she unleashed in the prologue! There were so many questions from just the prologue that I needed answers to!! Needless to say I didn’t put the book down til I had all my answers. 

Yes, this is another book where I am thankful that I am single! All the secrets, lies, betrayal, the obsession, the neediness, the clinging on, oh no I don’t miss that at all! 

There were some characters in this book that I just loved to hate! Two characters got under my skin to the fact that I was literally fuming!!

The Perfect Parents

Jackson and Lydia Hemsworth are pillars of the community, feted for having the perfect marriage and three wonderful children – Florence, Jessica and Ezra.

But appearances can be deceptive.

Because behind closed doors Jackson Hemsworth rules his family with cruelty and control. His marriage is a sham; his children for years have cowed in fear.

Until the day that Jackson and Lydia throw themselves off Newport Bridge in a joint suicide pact – the final cruel blow by Jackson to control his wife and torture his adult children.

As the Hemsworth siblings return to their family home, they must try to make sense of their parents’ last act. But there are many dark secrets waiting to be unearthed at Armett House.

Like, why are the townsfolk so suddenly hostile towards them? And who are the strangers who arrive at Armett House unannounced? And why has their mother’s body still not been found?

In the aftermath of their parents’ death, it becomes clear that something terrible is about to be exposed about the Hemsworths’ perfect parents.

A secret they may all wish had stayed hidden…
