A Kind of Hush examines how life is seldom a tidy affair exploring whether there is a gray

 area between right and wrong. The Mackie family, after enduring an unthinkable tragedy with

 the death of their young son, finally moved toward a new life until one June day while enjoying

 an outing at a nearby rugged park, their lives again turned upside down. A plunge off a shale cliff

 left one parent dead and the other solely responsible for their teenage daughter and seven-year-

 old son. Was this an accident or something more heinous, and if so whodunnit and whydunit?

 The heart of the novel centers on how each survivor deals with the circumstances and subsequent

 revelations surrounding the incident while a mantle of ambiguity – a kind of hush – hangs

 between them like a live grenade without its pin.

 Advanced praise, Diane Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review and included on

East Texas author, JoDee Neathery, has written two award-winning novels, Life in a Box, published 2017, and A Kind of Hush released July 2021. Both have won the International Firebird Book Awards for literary fiction and were awarded Readers’ Favorite 5-Star designations. A Kind of Hush received critical acclaim as one of five finalists in the highly contested mystery category of the 16th annual 2022 National Indie Excellence Awards, the 2022 Silver Medal Winner, Readers’ Favorite Annual International Book Awards, Literary Fiction, and was a shortlisted finalist in the 11th annual 2022 Millennium Book Awards and Winner in the literary fiction category

Her journey to publication followed an unconventional path void of author credentials, but with the encouragement of her book club, a passion for the written word, a vivid imagination, a sense of humor, and a story to tell she plucked a few personalities off the family tree and Life in a Box debuted asking the question, how much would you sacrifice to hide a secret. “One of those all too rare literary gems.” Midwest Book Review and a 5-Star review posted on Amazon UK offered this assessment, “There is an understated audacity to her style of writing which I find quite spellbinding.”

  A Kind of Hush was born in the middle of the night when the first sentence, the ending, and a profile of a young boy appeared. “I didn’t know the whole story but knew Gabriel Edward Mackie had to be in whatever I wrote next.” Praise followed. “This family drama is steeped in suspense, but its likeable cast of characters is its main draw,” Kirkus Reviews. “Witty, warm, uplifting, and utterly heartbreaking.” Book Viral Review. “Poignant and emotionally rich.” Book View Gold Medallion. “Intelligent, crisp prose.” The Prairies Book Review.

JoDee chairs her community book club, is writing another novel, Dust in the Wind, and contributes a light-hearted look at life with her byline, Back Porch Musings, to a local newspaper. Books are available through Amazon, https://jodeeneathery.com, IngramSpark.com, Smashwords.com, Apple.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Kobobooks.com, Walmart.com, Target.com as well as Texas indie bookstores in Malakoff, Lubbock, San Antonio, Houston.

Excerpt

Chapter 1

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

BUFFALO, NEW YORK. Gabriel Mackie had just celebrated his fourth birthday the first time he visited the whisper room, a windowless enclave with lavender walls brimming with daydreams, obscured from reality. All he knew for certain was that his older brother, Griff, nicknamed Boo, was gone. His bedroom at the end of the long hallway had been transformed into a guest room with ecru lace duvets instead of the blue and white pinstriped spreads covering the twin beds. Vanished were his toy box and New York Yankee American League pennants that had plastered the walls, replaced by paintings of water lilies and wheat fields. A stray tear trickled down Gabe’s cheek when he remembered Boo’s curly blonde hair and how he snorted when he laughed. Silence is deafening and the Mackie household screamed heartbreak.

Tree branches dipped in the wind tossing shadows across the windows heralding a tempest gathering force. Matt sipped his coffee and thumbed through last night’s restaurant receipts. Summer, lost in her on own thoughts, mindlessly poured herself a refill with one hand while twirling a strand of hair with the other. Gabe tiptoed to the kitchen doorway, jumping back when he heard his mother slam her fist on the counter. 

“It’s Willa’s fault Griff is gone,” her voice stringent and tight. “Tickling him while he sucked on a gumball, for God’s sake. I trusted her to take care of him for fifteen minutes—fifteen damn minutes—while I picked up Gabe from a birthday party. He couldn’t find his shoes . . . I would have been home sooner and maybe . . . I love my daughter, but . . . She knew to call 911 in an emergency . . . Why the hell didn’t she?”

Matt shook his head. “Summer come on . . . you’ve got to quit blaming her,” his voice rising an octave in frustration. “You’re as responsible as Willa.”

Summer turned her back to her husband shielding the wounds caused by his words.

“I shouldn’t have said that,” regret echoed in his apology. “I’m so sorry . . . Please, we don’t need to be playing this blame game. . . .”

“I guess it’s too much to ask for you to understand what I’m going through, Matt. What part of my daughter killing our son don’t you get?”

“Honey, you’re overreacting. . . .”

They both turned as Gabe scampered into the room dragging a stuffed elephant by its trunk. “Mommy, did Willa find where Boo’s hiding? Quackers and me wanna play next . . . you count to ten and say ready-or-not, here I come . . . okay?”

A Kind of Hush 

Written By JoDee Neathery

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank JoDee Neathery for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

WOW!! JoDee Neathery blew me away with her latest A Kind Of Hush! This book was fast paced, heart wrenching, intensely suspenseful, lots of twists and turns, and totally addicting. This is one book that once you start you won’t want to put down. 

I was all smiles when I saw that A Kind Of Hush was set in Buffalo, NY. This is my hometown where I was born, raised and still live. JoDee referenced many prominent locations, sports teams, political figures and even famous OJ Simpson! She also educated her readers on some of Buffalo’s history. Some even I didn’t know about. 

Instantly, my heartstrings were pulled tightly meeting 4 year old Gabriel! He was my favorite character of them all as he was the sweetest! My heart broke for all that he lost within this book. 

JoDee brings up some very important issues and life lessons in A Kind Of Hush. 

A Kind Of Hush is incredibly well written that will have you on the edge of your comfy chair. It is one book you must add to your TBR list!

Bourbon Street Bachelor
Melissa Chambers
(Broussard Brothers, #3)
Publication date: October 24th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Calliope’s been hurt too many times to let another man in, but Quentin Broussard’s about to turn her world upside down.

Calliope Koch sat on top of the world back in high school. Her dad treated her like a princess, so she believed she was one. Every guy wanted to be with her and every girl wanted to be her. But oh, how the mighty do fall…

Fast forward fourteen years, and Calliope has lost her father to another family. She’s been dumped more times than she can count. The only thing keeping her going is the dream of running her own clothing boutique. But the same guy who caused one of those breakups is taking that dream from her.

It’s Quentin Broussard, the older, artistic, mysterious Broussard brother who left home when he was eighteen. Three years ago, he called her quirky and convinced his brother to break up with her. Now he’s back in New Orleans and trying to take something from her once again.

She won’t fall victim to another Broussard brother’s smooth moves, no matter how hard this one’s knocking on her door. And she’ll try to ignore the fact that he’s making her feel like the princess she once believed she was.

EXCERPT:

He narrowed his gaze. “I remember something from that night we first met.”

She gave him a look like she was warning him not to go there, but there was also something in her eyes that told him to proceed forward.

“We had a connection.”

She gave him half a smile through pursed lips. “Oh, okay. Sure. Is this the same connection you have with those repeat customers you were talking about before?”

“I think you felt it, too,” he said, taking a risk.

“I was dating your brother at the time.”

“I know. That’s why I excused myself from our conversation.”

She furrowed her brow.

“I’m not making this up. I felt something.”

She rolled her eyes, and then gave him a look, trying to hold back a smile.

“Didn’t you feel it, too?” he asked.

“You’re calling me a cheater?”

“It’s not cheating to feel a spark with someone else.”

“With your boyfriend’s brother? I’d say it is,” she said.

“Then would you say you cheated on Braxton?”

She huffed a laugh. “You’re insane.”

“I might be a little bit.”

She shook her head at him. “I don’t know why you’re trying so hard here. I told you I’m a mess.”

“Maybe that’s what I like about you,” he said.

“Is that your thing? Fixing the wings of broken little birds?”

He considered her. “I’m not aware that I have a thing. I just know I was really disappointed when you didn’t show up over there today.”

She stared at him a bit longer and then stood up. “I think you should go.”

He stayed seated, looking up at her, trying to stop himself from saying the next words that were begging to come out of his mouth, because he never did this, but he actually wanted to this time. “Let me take you on a date.”

She motioned toward the door. “Go back to your party.”

“I’m having way more fun here.”

She rubbed her forehead. “Seriously, Quentin. Nothing ends well where I’m involved. Now’s your chance to run.”

“What if I don’t want to?”

“Mull this over. Think about it for a month. If after a month, you’re still interested, give me a call.” She held out her hand. “I’ll give you my number.” He pulled his phone out of his back pocket and handed it to her. She typed into it and then handed the phone back to him. “Now will you leave?”

He looked down at the table like there were options for him sitting there. “What if I wanna call you tomorrow?”

“One month. You can call me in one month and not a day before.”

That actually worked out perfectly for him. He was getting ready to head back to Colorado for a few weeks to close up his business with his partner, Steve, and get the rest of his stuff moved back to New Orleans. This would give him something to look forward to when he got back to town.

He stood up. “I guess I’ll take the deal.”

She walked to the front door and opened it, standing with her hands behind her back, messing with the door knob, looking both confident and vulnerable all at the same time. He’d never wanted to kiss a woman more in his life, and he wasn’t about to wait a month to do it.

He walked over to her, slid his hand around the back of her neck, and then planted one on her. She made a noise like she was taken by surprise, but then she settled in, sliding both of her hands into his hair. She pulled him to her as she settled against the door, perking up his midsection. He was about to sport wood right there on the streets of New Orleans. He pulled away while he still had control.

She put her hand over her mouth, touching her fingertips to her lips like she was checking that they were still there. So it wasn’t just him who had felt chemistry like an erupting volcano.

He leaned in. “How about you think about that for the next month.” He backed away, giving her one last glance before heading to his truck. How he was going to make it thirty days was beyond him.

The Night Of The Sleepover

Written By Kerry Wilkinson

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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

OMG!!! Kerry Wilkinson will make you rethink letting your child attend a sleepover ever again! The Night Of The Sleepover will literally leave you completely and utterly speechless!! It is a story that seems like it would be ripped from the headlines and turned into a Lifetime Movie. 

The Night Of The Sleepover is one of Kerry Wilkinson’s best written books ever! It is insanely fast paced where once you pick it up you can’t put it down! It is an intense, suspenseful, nail biting, jaw dropping and heartbreaking storyline! If you love psychological thrillers that read like true crime books this is the one for you! 

WOW!! My heart just broke in two for Leah! I can’t fathom the idea of waking up after a sleepover and finding your friends gone! Personally, I am a light sleeper so how in the world could someone sleep through something like that?! I had so many questions and needed answers to what really happened that night! Needless to say I cleared my schedule for this book! 

Oh there were so many twists and turns but nothing could prepare me for the earth shattering climax to this story! Kerry threw a curveball into the storyline that left me shell shocked!! You think you know your friends but you have no idea!

The Teacher: A heart-poundingly addictive and twisty psychological thriller by Danielle Stewart

 

 

I‘m the perfect teacher. From the outside, you’d never know that I’m hiding a dark secret. And if anyone finds out, it’ll destroy everything…

I always wanted to teach. I imagined rosy-cheeked students bringing me apples, grading their homework with a cup of coffee, and making a real difference in their lives. Maybe even saving them. Because I never want anyone to go through what happened to me when I was a young girl…

My beloved son Bryson is even in my school now. He’s a model student and the answer to all my prayers. Having my baby at work with me every day is all I could wish for.

Except one day, my perfect world turns into a nightmare.

When my student Daisy comes to me with tears in her eyes, she tells me that my darling little boy did something unspeakable to her. I’ve worked so hard to raise him right—gentle, kind and caring. Nothing like the men that hurt me when I was young. I want to believe he’s innocent. But should I?

Then, the threatening messages start.

But they’re not just for Bryson. They’re for me too. Someone knows my secret. Is someone trying to ruin my son's life to make me pay for what happened? Or did he really do the horrible thing he’s accused of? Either way, I have a feeling I might not get out of this alive…

This addictive and gripping psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and The Girl on the Train.

 The Teacher 

Written By Danielle Stewart

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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

Danielle Stewart reminded me how much I don’t miss high school! The Teacher was filled with crazy drama, heartache, wicked and twisted curves that are jaw dropping. 

Instantly, I was drawn into this fast paced and addictive read! Once you start reading you just can’t stop! I love books like this that hook you instantly! 

I loved how Elizabeth was a firm believer that education doesn’t have to happen inside the classroom. She had a lot of amazing qualities that I wish I had as a teacher growing up. 

Danielle incorporates a lot of great life lessons into the storyline that will hit home for many individuals. 

OMG I was not ready for the jaw dropping climax while reading The Teacher. Never in a million years did I see this turn of events happen. It made me look at that character in a whole new way.
