He says she’s obsessed. She says he’s a liar…


I have the perfect life. The perfect home with the perfect husband, who I still can’t believe chose me. The only dark blemish is her.

Cynthia started stalking my husband years ago. She’s obsessed – unhinged. And her behaviour is escalating: rocks through the window, warnings scrawled on our driveway.


But then the messages change. They used to tell him to leave me, but now they say my husband isn’t who I think he is. That I’m in danger. That I should run…


When I finally tell Dan, he acts like I’m making it up. Cynthia isn’t even in the country, so she can’t possibly be behind all these so-called threats. I can’t believe how cold he’s being.


I’m terrified of losing him, but I know I’m not crazy. If Cynthia isn’t the one stalking my husband, then who is?

And who should I believe? My caring, loving husband, or someone I’ve never met – but who seems to know more about the man I married than I do?


My Husband’s Stalker is an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you up turning the pages late into the night! Fans of The HousemaidThe Couple Next Door and The Perfect Marriage will be totally gripped.

My Husband’s Stalker

Natali Simmonds
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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


”YOUR HUSBAND ISN’T WHO HE SAYS HE IS” Natali Simmonds freaked the heck out of me in the first chapter of My Husband’s Stalker!! WOWZERS!! What a way to start her latest Psychological Thriller!! This was a fast paced, addicting, and twisted read!


I am a fan of both Psychological Thrillers and Emotional Reads. With Natali’s storylines I was able to get the best of both worlds. Natali pulled hard multiple times with the interaction of Freya and her father who seemed to have memory issues.  What made me tear up was hearing Belle’s story and what she meant to Freya. That whole scene was from a Hallmark Movie.


What I thought was comical is between all this stalker drama Freya and Dan were able to have some hot steamy moments! 


I got a total kick on how the kitten's name was Sushi. 


I couldn’t agree with Dan more on the point that grief and trauma don’t disappear after an allocated time. I totally felt the emotional pain Freya was going through with her tremendous loss of her best friend Harper! I fully understand what she goes through with her panic attacks and her anxiety. 


This is another twisted read to add to your TBR pile.

From two-million-selling author Steena Holmes, nine dark and gripping stories featuring Detective Meri Amber.

Nine missing girls. Nine cases the world wants to forget. One detective who never will.

Each file is someone’s daughter. Someone’s sister. And if Meri Amber can’t bring them home, she’ll make sure their stories end with justice.

As the FBI’s leading child abduction specialist, Meri has spent her career chasing the vanished – from Minnesota to Montana, from abandoned barns to dark cellars that still echo with screams. But every case cuts deeper than the last.

“I’m Detective Meri Amber. I’ve been searching for my sister for twenty years. Every missing girl is a mirror. Every scream behind a wall could be hers.

I’ll never stop looking. These are the stories of the girls I’ve found, the truths I’ve uncovered, and the cracks in my own past I can’t seem to seal.”

From the horrifying secrets of the House of Dolls, to a macabre twelfth birthday party, to the sinister truths buried in the Widow’s Barn: delve into nine intriguing mysteries which will chill you to the bone.

Nine Missing Girls
Written By Steena Holmes
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Steena Holmes, Joffe Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


Steena Holmes caught my attention with Nick Castle’s incredible eye-catching cover and her title Nine Missing Girls! If you follow my reviews you know that I am a sucker for a missing person case novel!! It is actually one of my go to genre’s! Steena states in the beginning of this book that this is a book of short stories that follow Detective Meri Amber. This character has already been in The Sister Under The Stairs and The Girls in the Basement (However, I have not but you can read this without knowing her backstory). 


Out of all the short stories in Nine Missing Girls there were some that captured my interest and fascinated me more than the others. The Birthday Room was one of them was a creatively twisted written scenario that my heart just ached for these kids. I wanted to jump into the story and say it is ok if you can tell the truth! I don’t think I have ever read a crazier story than this! Mrs. Lillian was a madwoman at what she was doing!! Seriously, you have never ever been to a Birthday like this before in your life!! 


What I like about her character is her search for the missing girls isn’t just about her profession, it is a vow to bring her one step closer to understanding what happened to her own sister and to who took her.


There was another story that mentioned a character by the last name Benton. I had a chuckle because my brother in law’s name is that and I have never seen his name anywhere else written before. So, whenever I saw the character’s name I thought of him! Thanks Sheena for making me smile with that one.

Too late, because Lucas doesn't just want Daniella. He needs her. And he's willing to destroy everything—and everyone—standing in his way.

As the depths of his obsession become clear, Daniella realizes she’s in a fight for her life. Because the family she tried to help is hiding something dark. Something deadly.

And she's already in too deep to escape.

Don’t Answer The Phone 

Written by Miranda Rijks

Review by Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 


First, I want to thank Miranda Rijks, Inkubator Books, and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.


WOWZERS!!! Don’t Answer The Phone has to be Miranda Rijks is one of my favorite books I have ever read by her!! Her book was so twisted and addicting that I lost track of time and read it in one sitting. Oh I devoured it and found myself yelling at the kindle with all the mind blowing twists and turns that I never ever saw coming! Then again some of them there were no warning signs, none at all!! Miranda was good with her shock value!! 


Oh boy this book was a doozy! Miranda reminded me that being single is not so bad after all!! Who needs all the drama and whatever else comes with it?! 


Don’t Answer That Phone was jam packed full of drama, lies, betrayals, secrets, cheating, violence, deaths, shocking discoveries, etc. 


This is surely a book that will have everybody talking long after they read it. So much I want to write about in this review but if I do I might give away spoilers! Trust me I want to talk about this book!! So, go get this book and when you get done reading it, come find me and we need to talk about Lucas! 


Don’t Answer That Phone deserves more than 5 stars and is a must read!

Althea Ralston:

Author.

Professor.

Icon.

Liar. 


Fifteen years ago, Lila Parks was a bright, eager student at Havenport University—handpicked and mentored by the legendary Professor Ralston. 


Lila believed in Ralston’s message. 

She trusted her. 

Worshipped her.


Then, everything fell apart.


Behind the curtain of Ralston’s carefully crafted illusion, the truth was impossible to ignore: Lila’s mentor built her empire on deception and betrayal.


Today, the world sees Althea Ralston as a legend. Lila only sees the lie.


When an invitation to celebrate Ralston’s lifetime of achievement calls Lila back to Havenport, she knows she shouldn’t go. But this might be her only chance to confront the woman who destroyed her.


Surrounded by thousands of Ralston’s adoring fans and the ghosts of her past at Addison Hall, Lila begins to dig for proof of what she learned back then, of the monsters buried beneath that perfect smile. What she uncovers is darker—and far more sinister—than she ever expected.


To expose Ralston for what she truly is, Lila finds herself in a downward spiral of paranoia and suspicion, desperately searching for the key to toppling Ralston’s meticulous house of cards. But with every wrong turn, she finds herself closer to crumbling her own world instead.


Set against a gothic campus cloaked in ivy and secrets, this chilling, slow-burn suspense from two-million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin explores the blurred line between manipulation and brilliance—and what it costs to finally speak the truth.

How Could You Let This Happen?

Jen Craven

I fight back tears as my best friend clutches her son’s hand, the room silent except for the low beep of his life support machine. I couldn’t bear it if this was my own son. My pulse races as she slowly turns to me. “How could you let this happen?”


When my teenage son Miles and his best friend Isaac ask to have a party at our house, I immediately agreeas a single mom, I’m used to making the decisions and they need to let off steam. But later that night when I’m woken by the blare of sirens and see blue lights streaking across the sky, I realize I am living every parent’s worst nightmare.


They said they would stay in the garage. So why aren’t they there? Sprinting over to the lake at the bottom of the garden, my heart pounding all I can think is, where is my sonIs he hurt? Then in horror, I watch as Isaac is pulled onto a stretcher. 


Guilt crashes over me in waves as I struggle to breathe. I never meant for any of this to happen, but I know this is all my fault. I should never have left them. Beth trusted me to look after her son and I already know that she’ll never forgive me.


As Isaac’s life hangs in the balance, I feel a rising sense of panic. What if he never wakes up? And if he does, will he tell everyone what really happened that night and tear our families apart forever? 

An unforgettable and emotional story about how one moment can change our lives forever, and how far we will go to protect the ones we love. Perfect for fans of Diane Chamberlain, Jodi Picoult and Melissa Wiesner.

How Could You Let This Happen?
Written By Jen Craven
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 


Dang!!! I am not a Mommy but a very proud Auntie and you better believe I was screaming How Could You Let This Happen??!!!! Jen Craven made me want to hop in my car and drive from Buffalo to Pittsburgh to hold my niece and nephew tight and make sure they were fully aware of the lesson of this story!! How Can You Let This Happen is a clear your calendar engaging binge-read in one sitting where you totally lose track of time! This is a must read for everyone but may hit closer to home for readers who have school age children. 


The beginning of the book when Cici was talking about motherhood was the perfect intro to the book and spot on for what was to come. 


Jen took me on an emotional anxiety rollercoaster with this ride as I put myself into Cici’s shoes. I felt as if I was a fly on the wall and feeling all the feels that she felt. 


How Can You Let This Happen would be a great addition to a book club discussion group. Reason being there are multiple deep and serious topics that are addressed that are not usually addressed in books. Jen in my opinion went above and beyond and created a very unique outside the box storyline. 


How Can You Let This Happen examines friendships after tragedy strikes, consequences of lying, underage drinking at a party, and much more!  


Jen Craven’s How Can You Let This Happen deserves more than 5 stars!! Her book is fast paced, addicting, gripping, emotional, engaging, and at times will have you yelling at your Kindle!!! As much as I loved Cici there were times I didn’t agree with her actions!! But seriously this is a must read!!
