Her body was found close to the university. She was on her way home after a night out. Just like in the story I wrote…

Every Monday, I meet my writing group in a warm, lively bar to drink a glass of wine or two. It’s thehighlight of my week. But now something terrible is happening.

At first, it didn’t seem like a big deal. My tires were slashed. A woman was hit by a car outside my apartment. Then, yesterday, someone was murdered. And all the details are copied from the stories we shared.

Am I going mad, or is someone in my group a killer?

I thought they were the only people I could trust, since what happened ten years ago. But now I’m terrified one of them knows the truth that lies buried in all my work—the secret I’ve tried so hard to hide. And they want to make me pay for it.

I have to know who’s bringing my stories to life… but will the answer cost me everything?

A completely unputdownable psychological thriller that will have you glued to the pages! If you like Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and The Wife Between Us, then you’ll love The Writer.

The Writer 
Written By Miranda Smith 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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


WOW!! They always say write what you know and are passionate about! That is just what Miranda Smith did with her latest The Writer! If you are a reader, aspiring author or love psychological thriller books you will absolutely adore this book like I did. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! 


Can we just say how beautiful Miranda’s cover for The Writer is? This was so spot on to the storyline! One of her best covers yet. Great job goes to the graphic designers who created this cover!


I absolutely loved all the dreams, ambitions and goals that Becca had for herself. She knew what she wanted and she wouldn’t give up til she got it. This is a great life lesson for anyone. 


I have been a fan of Miranda’s for a while now. All of her books are great and worth checking out. However, I was more drawn to this one because The Writer is more relatable. Yes, I am not a writer nor do I wish to publish a book but I could understand where Becca was coming from. 


Becca’s Mother was NOT my favorite character! She totally upset me by not supporting her daughter in what she loved doing most-writing. She was a very good writer and her Mom just could not see that! 


The Writer had a very interesting mystery to solve! There were so many secrets, twists, turns, and my favorite explosive shocker at the end! 


Miranda’s The Writer is a very creatively written book that is totally outside the box. It is one you must put on your TBR list.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Science raises questions only love can answer in this moving and thought-provoking novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of “heart-tugging and emotional” (Romantic Times Book Reviews) life-changing fiction.

One frozen embryo. Two families with life-long secrets. And a guy who never planned to fall in love again.

Maddie Baxter West is shaken to the core when she finds out everything she believed about her life was a lie. Her parents had always planned to tell her the truth about her past: that she was adopted as an embryo. But somehow the right moment never happened. Then a total stranger confronts Maddie with the truth and tells her something else that rocks her world—Maddie had a sister she never knew about. Betrayed, angry, and confused, Maddie leaves her new job and fiancé, rejects her family’s requests for forgiveness, and moves to Portland to find out who she really is.

Dawson Gage’s life was destroyed when London Quinn, his best friend and the only girl he ever loved, is killed. In the hospital waiting room, London’s mother reveals that London might have had a sibling. The frozen embryo she and her husband donated decades ago. When Dawson finds Maddie and brings her to Portland, the Quinns—her biological parents—welcome her into their lives and hearts. Maddie is comforted by the Quinns’ love and intrigued by their memories of London, who was so much like her. Is this the family and the life she was really meant to have?

Now it will take the love of Dawson Gage to help Maddie know who she is...and to help her find her way home.

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank the Buffalo Erie County Library for providing me with this book so I may give you this review.


WOW!!!  OMG after my binge watching obsession with Karen Kingsbury’s The Baxter’s on Prime I knew I needed to read her books! After seeing a preview of Someone Like You during The Baxters I rushed out to the library to get the book (and a few others of hers). Now I really need to see this movie!! The book was so good!! 


Let’s talk about the beautiful and meaningful cover of Someone Like You. It was so perfect!


Now, if you are like me and saw The Baxter’s on Prime you will recognize some of the characters in the book. When reading their names I could picture the actors/actresses that played in the series. Plus, I got updated on some characters too which was nice.


If you are not familiar with Karen’s books they are all sweet faith based. 


Now warning you are going to want to stock up on tissues for this book! This was a very emotional read for me! Yes, I admit I cried like a baby!


I absolutely loved how deeply passionate Maddie was about her love for animals and her career endeavors around this! You could not help not smile ear to ear on how animated she was! Needless to say I was incredibly happy for her! 


My Niece is named London so I had a soft spot for this character. That be said my heart leapt out of my chest and I totally gasped at the tragic accident!! Never could you imagine that happening. 


The twist in this story is very unique and unlike any other that I have read! There were a lot of secrets that had been kept and shocking revelations as well. 


Karen writes about some very important topics and life lessons in Someone Like You. Infact, she has some discussion questions in the back of the book that would be great for the book club. 


What an honor for Karen’s true fan’s to be listed in the back of her book. They truly are the lucky ones! 


Karen Kingsbury’s Someone Like You deserves more than 5 stars!! Now I must read more of her books and definitely see this movie!!

#BookReview #ForTheLastTime #HeidiPerks #CrookedLaneBooks

 

Internationally bestselling author of the “gripping” (Lisa Jewell) Three Perfect Liars, Heidi Perks is back with a thrilling new novel. 

Dark secrets are revealed when a therapist becomes obsessed with her troubled new patients, for fans of Alex Michaelides and 
The Golden Couple.

When Erin and Will walk into Maggie’s office for a marriage counseling session, Maggie believes they are an ordinary couple with ordinary problems: communication, intimacy, the usual. But as Maggie struggles to get the couple to open up about what brought them here, she begins to sense that not all is as it seems. 

When Erin mentions something connected to Maggie’s past that she couldn’t possibly know, Maggie is disturbed and confused. Why does Erin know anything about Maggie’s long-missing sister? Erin is connected to her somehow, and Maggie is no longer trying to fix the couple’s marriage–she’s trying to uncover her own truth. Maggie knows her code of ethics as a therapist should immediately stop her working with this couple, but she’s desperate for answers about her sister’s disappearance, and she can’t resist using her position to delve deeper into Erin’s memories and what she might know. Erin and Will might not be what they seem–but neither is Maggie. 

This dual-perspective psychological thriller will keep readers turning pages until every last secret comes to light.

Author Heidi Perks

My first book published with Century, NOW YOU SEE HER, came out in July 2018. It became a Sunday Times Bestseller and a Richard and Judy book club pick, and in 2021 I received a silver Nielsen bestseller award for selling over 250,000 copies.

Look out for my next novel, SOMEONE IS LYING which will be out in spring 2024. And I am currently writing my eighth book ready for 2026.

Many of my books are set along the south coast of England, you may recognise some of the destinations. I live by the sea in Bournemouth and love this area with its beautiful spots that make perfect inspiration for the crime thrillers I write. I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I do writing them!

For The Last Time

Written By Heidi Perks

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank the Buffalo Erie County Library System for providing me with Heidi Perk’s book so I may bring you this review. 


WOW! I have heard great things about author Heidi Perks and had to check out her latest For The Last Time. I am so glad I did! Her book was fast paced, addictive, and had me glued to the book. 


Heidi’s book quickly grabbed my attention and needed to know what happened prior to Erin being rushed to the hospital! So many questions surrounding this event that I needed to find out. 


My heart was aching and beating out of my chest when little Coco went missing! Being a dog auntie to a young multipoo I know how attached one can get to their doggie! I don’t know what I would ever do in this situation. However, I sure felt all the feelings that the character had in this situation. Not to mention there were so many questions surrounding it!


What was interesting about this book was we heard dual sides from both the therapist and her patient. It made for a unique twist to the story.

My Perfect Marriage: A completely addictive and unputdownable thriller with heart-racing twists

 

My husband is accused of killing my best friend. Can I trust anything he says?

It feels like all the air has been knocked out of me. My best friend is dead, killed at her own daughter’s birthday party. All I want to do is run into my husband’s loving arms. 
But he’s in handcuffs, covered in her blood. His voice quivers, almost sobbing as officers put him in the police car. ‘You don’t think I did this, do you? I was trying to save her.’

At first, I’m sure he couldn’t have done it. The man I love wouldn’t hurt anyone. But as I try to prove that he didn’t murder Lucy, secrets begin unravelling…

It starts with the messages between the two of them. Initially, they seem innocent enough. But the more I look, the more I become convinced they were having an affair. Then I find out about his divorce lawyer…

Suddenly my whole life feels like a lie. If he was hiding his plan to leave me for Lucy, 
can I believe his protests that he is innocent? And if he really did murder his lover, what else is he capable of?

An unputdownable thriller that will keep you up all night! This gripping read is perfect for fans of The HousemaidThe Woman in the Window and Shari Lapena.

My Perfect Marriage 

Written By AJ Campbell

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

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


WOW!! I can’t imagine all the emotions that I would feel finding my best friend was just killed supposedly by my husband! This is what happened in My Perfect Marriage by AJ Campbell. This was a very heartbreaking, suspenseful, shocking read that you must put on your tbr list. 


Originally My Perfect Marriage was going to be called How Can I Trust You along with the covers. I think it was smart to change the name of the book as well as the cover. Both covers were good in my opinion but the newer one fit the book better. 


I try to put myself into the character’s shoes in every book that I read. This way I can feel all the emotions that they are going through, good or bad. This one I was heartbroken over the best friend getting killed. However, I was shocked that everyone thought the husband did it. All of her emotions I felt right along with her. 


There were so many deep dark hidden secrets, lots of questions, and shocking moments. This is one book that keeps you on your toes.
