NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Passionate advocate for end-of-life care and TikTok star Hadley Vlahos shares moving stories of joy, wisdom, and redemption from her patients’ final moments in this “brilliant” (Zibby Owens, Good Morning America) memoir.

“This extraordinary book helps dispel fear around death and dying—revealing it to be a natural part of our soul’s evolution.”—Laura Lynne Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Signs and The Light Between Us

Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

Vlahos was raised in a strict religious household, but began questioning her beliefs in high school after the sudden death of a friend. When she got pregnant at nineteen, she was shunned by her community and enrolled herself in nursing school to be able to support herself and her baby. But nursing soon became more than a job: when she focused on palliative care and hospice work, it became a calling.

In The In-Between, Vlahos recounts the most impactful experiences she’s had with the people she’s worked with—from the woman who never once questioned her faith until she was close to death, to the older man seeing visions of his late daughter, to the young patient who laments that she spent too much of her short life worrying about what others thought of her—while also sharing her own fascinating journey.

Written with profound insight, humility, and respect, The In-Between is a heartrending memoir that shows how caring for others can transform a life while also offering wisdom and comfort for those dealing with loss and providing inspiration for how to live now.


Hadley Vlahos, RN,
 is a hospice registered nurse, mother, and wife. Her husband also works in the medical field as a doctor of physical therapy. Vlahos started her career as a registered nurse at twenty-two. As a hospice nurse, she now visits people at their home while also educating and sharing stories about hospice care on social media, where she has more than a million followers.

The In-Between 

Unforgettable Encounters During Life’s Final Moments

Written By Hadley Vlahos, RN

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 


The In-Between Unforgettable Encounters During Life’s Final Moments by Hadley Vlahos, RN is a book that I really needed to read for myself personally. I have been a fan of Hadley’s on the reels for sometime and loved her videos. She has such a sweet, caring, and beautiful heart and it showed through her videos she shared. A little over two months ago I lost my father whom I was very close with after being in Hospice. Needless to say I have been struggling as I have my good and bad days dealing with grief. Knowing that Hadley is a Hospice Nurse I was interested to read her book to have a better understanding of what really happens during their last days. 


Hadley’s book The In-Between is beautifully written straight from her heart. She opens up her world and shares with us every raw emotion that she encounters being a Hospice Nurse. Many times I needed to reach for the tissues as I couldn't help the tears from falling. I loved the many incredible stories where Hadley and the patient bonded and formed a friendship. 


I enjoyed reading Hadley’s journey in where her career has taken her thus far.

Twenty years ago, Jen’s sister disappeared. Now, she’s looking for

answers.

Jen Silver has moved to a new neighborhood in affluent, suburban

Pennsylvania with her partner, Dan, and her daughter. It’s a picture-

perfect neighborhood where the residents hang out on each other’s patios

drinking margaritas on warm summer nights. They eagerly welcome Jen

and her family.

But Jen isn’t who they think she is.

Dan doesn’t know the truth either.

Jen has spent her life trying to find out what happened to her sister. She’s

chosen this community for a reason — because Dan has his own

connection to the neighborhood and a past he thought was long-buried.

As Jen pieces together the events of twenty years ago, someone is

determined to keep the facts from coming to light. But secrets always

come out and sometimes, the worst truths lie close to home . . .



Kate Braithwaite is the author of four historical novels based on true but
overlooked events. “Charlatan” tells the story of Madame de Montespan
and the Affair of the Poisons in 17th Century Paris. “The Plot” features
Titus Oates’ Popish Plot, a scandal that earns him a place as one of
Britain’s top 10 villains. “The Puzzle of Nellie Bly” explores the exploits of
a ground-breaking female journalist going undercover in a 19th Century
New York lunatic asylum. “The Scandalous Life of Nancy Randolph” reveals
a shocking rupture between two very different sisters in late 18th century
Virginia.
Originally from Scotland, Kate studied English at Leeds University and has
subsequently lived in Canada and the US. She is the author of Sis-Stories,
a Substack publication all about sisters in history and fiction, and an editor
for the Historical Novel Society. Kate and her family live in Chester County,
Pennsylvania.

who knows the truth. Someone who’s stalking me and wants to make me pay for my sins. I

All My Lies 
Written By Nelle Lamarr
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Nelle Lamarr, Inkubator Books, and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


WOW!!! WOW!! WOW!! All My Lies is a book that Nelle Lamarr fans will be raving about!! They always say write what you know and are passionate about and that is just what she did in this book. This is one of the reasons that I loved it so much because the story is based on a well known author and personal assistant. We got to see the ins and outs of the industry in more ways than one and it made it very exciting. 


I loved the second chance that Logan and Sloan got at love this time around.


Nelle packed All My Lies with so many juicy dark little secrets that blew my mind when it all came out of the light! This was one book that was so twisted I had to reread it just to make sure I was rereading it right because I didn’t want to believe it. 


This is one of Nelle’s best and seriously needs to be adapted into a NetFlix Series! It would be a totally binge worthy watch.

Blurb

 

I get a call from the school. My husband hasn’t picked up our 7-year-old daughter.

 

This is the day my life changes for ever.

 

Earlier, I was scrolling through Facebook when something caught my eye. A photograph. The caption beneath: PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

 

It's my husband and our daughter.

 

The man I married eight years ago isn’t who I thought he was at all. My husband has been lying to me . . . about everything.

 


AN EXHILARATING BLEND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE, NAIL-BITING TENSION WITH A SHATTERING FINAL TWIST.

Eight Years of Lies 

Written By Lisa Hall 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Lisa Hall, Joffe Books, and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


OMG!!! You must put Eight Years of Lies by Lisa Hall on your must read TBR list!! It is a book that everyone will be talking about after they read this!! She put a totally different spin on a missing person case that blew my mind!!


Nick Castle needs to be commended for his creative cover art for this book Eight Years of Lies! It was spot on perfect for this story and eye catching. I loved it. 


My heart leapt out of my chest just as Claire’s did when she saw a picture of her daughter and her husband on Facebook. However, it was posted by another woman claiming to be his wife and looking for them. At this point in the book I was yelling and screaming at my Kindle. So many questions were going through my head. 


My heart broke each time Isla asked when her Daddy was going to come home. 


Lisa Hall is a genius storyteller. She makes you think you know how the story is going to pan out but bam she throws you a wicked twist after twist! Each bigger than the next. The last one was an omg! I  have no idea why I have never read her work before now. However, that will change because I have become a fan of hers. 


This book was jam packed with deep dark secrets, lies, betrayals, heartbreaks, jaw dropping revelations, and an ending you won’t see coming. 


I felt like this book didn't fully capture my full attention until the middle of the book. However when it did I found it to be fast paced and addicting.

 The Quiet Wife

I want to be ordinary. To fade into the shadows where no one notices me and live a quiet life. A normal life.

But I am not ordinary. Not anymore.

I’ve been keeping a secret. From my colleagues, my friends and most importantly, my husband - who knows nothing of my past life.

Twenty years ago, at college, a boy became obsessed with me. Craig Lane believed he could make me love him back if he just tried harder. When I rejected him, he did something so horrifying, it’s the stuff of nightmares. All my nightmares.

Now I’ve been informed by Victim Support Services, that boy - now a man - has been released from prison. The news terrifies me.

Am I safe? Or does Craig still carry the same obsession he did when we were seventeen? I don’t know. I’ve ignored every letter he’s ever sent me.

Now strange things have started to happen: flowers have been left on my doorstep, my cat keeps going missing. Someone is watching me. Knows where I live. I am sure.

Worse, something even more sinister could be stalking me from the shadows. Because I have another secret...

My past is coming to get me. One way or another.
