The Therapist

Nicole Trope


Everyone thinks they can trust their therapist. We are good listeners. But what if we’re good liars, too? 


The therapist: I love my job. People tell me their worries, their fears. Then Sandy becomes my patient. Something about her tears as she cries about her husband doesn’t feel right. But I tell her she can trust me. I promise to keep her secrets… for now.


The patient: I never should have married Mike. My head is a mess. All I want is for someone to listen. At least I can trust my therapist – she believes everything I say. And I’m going to show the world exactly what my dear husband is really like.


The husband: We used to be so happy. I just want my smiling, beautiful wife back. I was glad when Sandy signed up for therapy. But one day, Sandy doesn’t come home. I’m frantic. Then her therapist knocks on the door and says we need to talk… what has Sandy told her about our marriage?


Someone is missing. Someone is in danger. Someone is a liar. Who will you believe? 

A completely unputdownable psychological thriller that will leave you not knowing who to believe, from million-copy bestselling Nicole Trope. Anyone who loves Shari Lapena or Lisa Jewell will be totally addicted!



Nicole Trope

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 between raising three children, working for her husband and renovating houses, she has published multiple bestselling novels. She lives in Sydney, Australia.

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 can bring you this review. 


WOW!!! The Therapist is one of Nicole Trope best psychological thriller’s if not the best and deserve’s more than 5 stars!! I absolutely loved the totally twisted storyline that was intertwined into this fast paced addicting page turner. This is one read that would be interesting to see unfold as a Netflix series. 


The graphic artists once again did their magic and created an amazing eye catching cover! This cover however went above and beyond and screamed read me!! Along with the cover, the description of the book, the title and being a fan of Nicole’s writing I knew this was a book I had to read. I am so glad that I did. 


Instantly, Nicole sucks you into her fast paced storyline and grabs your attention fast and keeps it there throughout the whole book. This makes me happy when an author does this! 


Oh this story had a lot of family drama, wicked twists and turns, and shocking moments! This is a must read!

Below Deck

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank JA Andrews, Saga Belmont and for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.


OH WOW!! Below Deck is unlike any other psychological thriller JA Andrews has ever written before. It is one of those books you really need to pay attention to cus if you blink you will miss something. There are a lot of eerie things that happen in this book that threw me for a loop. This is one book you should add to your TBR.


Thank you J.A. Andrews from the bottom of my heart for dedicating Below Deck to me. I feel honored and blessed to be able to review for you. 


Oh JA’s prologue sparked my interest instantly as a little bit of me could relate to what she was feeling. 


Below Deck’s storyline was set on a cruise ship. Now I have always dreamed of going on a cruise ship-but this one I think I will pass on this Mediterranean Cruise! There were too many eerie and twisted events that happened on their journey! There were times when I was in total shock at the events that unfolded. I was speechless! JA did an amazing job keeping us on our toes! 


JA described the boat in beautiful detail so that you felt like you were there. I got a kick out of one of the characters complaining of the cleanliness of the cabin. 


A smile came on my face when I saw the reference to Diet Coke. 


One thing that JA did that was different is he added aspects of the pandemic into it. Not much but some.

My husband and I share a secret. How far will I go to keep it?

In the middle of our school’s bustling summer picnic, I watch Harriet walk purposefully toward my husband, Michael. She places her hand on his arm, introducing herself and laughing at something he says. A knot forms in my stomach as I watch them. We’ve been here before. But I can’t just walk away…

Over the next few weeks, I try to keep Harriet from my family. But no matter what I do, she finds a way in. Her daughter and my twin boys become friends, and one night I find Harriet in my kitchen, smiling at my husband as she sips a cocktail. I feel like a stranger in my own home.

That night, when I see her name light up my husband’s phone, I can barely breathe. Because I know this is more than just an affair. She’s in our lives for a different reason. For years, I’ve kept a secret buried deep because I thought I could hold my family together. But now, I’m terrified Harriet is going to reveal it and I will lose everything…

Whatever happens, I can’t let her expose the secrets between me and my husband. But what will I have to do to stop her?

A totally gripping and unputdownable novel that asks how well we know the people we love the most. Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional fiction, and for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Susan Lewis.

A former New Yorker and now an American ex-pat, she lives in a small town on the Welsh border with her husband, five children, and their overly affectionate Golden Retriever.

#BlogTour #TheReunion #SonyaBateman #ZoolooBookTours

 

I almost didn’t come.

 

Even with the free champagne, the five-star resort, the promise of closure. Even 

though it’s fifteen years since we all finished high school.

 

But now I’m here. Snowed in.

 

And someone’s already dead.

 

It should’ve been a reunion. Laughter. Memories. Old friends — even if they never 

really saw me. But our old prom dates are waiting tables. Our teachers are lurking in 

corridors. And one by one, the people I once called friends are acting like we’re back 

in school. There are eight of us.

 

There were eight of us then.

 

But one vanished after prom.

 

And someone knows what really happened that night. They invited us here for a reason.

 

And they’re not going to let us leave.

#BookReview #NinePines #KierstenModglin #BitterhousePublishing

 



Nine Pines Inn is a safe place.

At least it was until a young girl disappeared during her stay.

​On a mission to learn about her enigmatic past, Lennon understands one thing: the truth lies at Nine Pines. But as the whispers and rumors surrounding the inn’s history pique her curiosity, the allure of the mystery still haunting the place draws her in.
In a small town where gossip is traded as currency, Lennon’s instincts about whom to trust will be put to the ultimate test as she seeks the truth about where she came from and just what secrets the old inn is hiding.

Miles away, Ingrid’s husband is lying.
At least his cryptic behavior would suggest he is.

Determined to get to the bottom of his suspicious activity, Ingrid partners with a stranger to test him. But when the woman who meets her husband for the setup suddenly vanishes, Ingrid finds herself buried beneath more questions than she started with.

Is there an innocent explanation for the woman’s disappearance? Or is the answer something much more sinister?

To the rest of the world, the missing girls have been forgotten. As both women dig deeper for clues, nothing could prepare them for the dark and disturbing truths just waiting to be unearthed…

Settle in for a heart-pounding, read-in-one-sitting domestic suspense packed with menacing secrets, catastrophic revelations, and a terrifying search for answers alongside two women who will leave no stone unturned.

Nine Pines
Written By Kiersten Modglin
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 


Congrats to my favorite author Kiersten Modglin on her 50th book written and published Nine Pines!! Not only is this one of your best written works, this is also one of your prettiest covers too! One thing I loved about this book is along the way you put the titles of your other 49 books randomly in the book. Some of the places you choose to put them you put a smile on my face or I chuckled a little bit. In the book Kiersten lists the book titles for you to keep an eye out for (in case you have not read them all yet). 


Oh how my heart ached for how Kiersten dedicated her latest book to her Granny. She was her best friend and her first reader and was always by her side. This is the first book that she will never get to read. Sending you big hugs Kiersten! Know that she is so proud of you and is watching over you every step of the way! 


WOW!! In honor of her 50th book Kiersten took us down memory lane with some of her most memorable quotes! Those quotes are insightful, deep, and emotionally raw. Some of these were so powerful they hit me like a ton of bricks! Kiersten is truly a brilliant writer.


Kiersten opens up the book with an Author’s Note on how appreciative and grateful that her readers have been here to support her throughout her journey. 


Nine Pines was just OMG WOW!!! Ohh all that family drama, the unique set of characters, the missing child, the lies, the betrayal, the mystery, suspense, the wicked twists and turns, and the mind blowing ending was incredible! Kiersten has done it again and written a masterpiece! It is a must read for all the die hard fans out there! Go pick up your copy today.
