About the Book

Our lies made us the perfect couple. But now our secrets will destroy us…

Alex and I have only been dating a few weeks, but already things are getting serious. With his dark hair and dark eyes, he’s my perfect match. And a real gentleman unlike my past relationships – he always treats me right: holding doors open, picking up the bill, and listening as I tell him everything about myself… Well, not everything. There are some things I must keep secret.

Alex believes we met by chance at a friend’s wedding, and I let him think that. I haven’t told him that I just came out of hospital, or that I met someone in there who shared his darkest secret. I know everything about him, but he knows nothing about the real me… Why I’m really here. And I need to keep it that way, or my plan will fall apart before it’s even begun.

The only problem is that I think someone’s on to me... I feel eyes on the back of my head as I leave the house where I live alone, but every time I turn around, no one is there. Is someone watching me? Or am I just being paranoid. I thought that this was the only path for me to be safe again, to keep my secrets buried forever, but maybe I’ve just walked into the biggest trap of all?

Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and Gone Girl will absolutely love Keep Me Safe.

My Review

Wow!!!!! Literally lost for words. What an absolutely fantastic book! I was hooked from the very start and that ending oh my god, I definitely didn't see that coming. That's what I love about this book, its unpredictable and when you think you have it figured out along comes a series of twists and the story goes completely different to what you think. I was honestly hooked. This book is going to be number one on the bestsellers lists.

 About the book

My life should be perfect. But my stepdaughter wants to destroy it all…

Standing in my bathroom, the luxurious marble tiles cool under my feet, I stare at the test in my trembling hand. The second line is unmistakable: I’m pregnant.

This is all my husband Theo and I have ever wanted, but I didn’t think it was possible. I should be excited, but all I can think about is telling my stepdaughter.

Because Ellie’s always hated me, ever since she realised it was no longer just her and Theo. Now she’s seventeen, beautiful and smart – smart enough to see through me. And if Ellie decided to uncover my secrets, it wouldn’t be just my marriage at stake… it would be my life.

But I’ve been so careful burying my past. There’s no way she could learn the truth. I know stress isn’t good for the baby, so I force myself to relax.

Until one day I find a packet of tablets tucked inside Ellie’s bag. My head spins – she’s made it clear she wants me gone but I never imagined she would try to harm my baby. I know I can’t tell Theo. She would only deny it to her beloved daddy, fluttering her lashes like she always does.

My beautiful home has become a prison, my husband feels like a stranger. But all I know is that this precious life inside me is more than I deserve – and there’s nothing I won’t do to protect it…

An absolutely gripping and page-turning psychological thriller that will keep you reading late into the night! Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Shari Lapena and T.M. Logan.

My Review

I stayed up an entire night after picking this up one evening and I was literally unable to tear myself away from it. I had to end to the end, I was desperate to find out what was going to happen.
It’s terrifyingly good and extremely gripping honestly my heart was pounding.
Superb storyline.
A book I will be recommending!

About the Book

Perfect families have the most to hide…

I feel so lucky to live in a gorgeous house with my precious daughter on Riverside Road, surrounded by green hills and well-tended gardens. I’m just across from the Taylors, who were a second family to me when I was growing up. But late at night, I spot someone in the house across the street. Someone who shouldn’t be there…

Lily Taylor and I are best friends and closer than sisters, but life in our idyllic neighbourhood comes to a shuddering halt when I find Lily’s father murdered in his own bed. As I break the news to Lily, I swear to her that I’ll do everything I can to help her family. Who could possibly have done this?

I tell the police, but while they’re trying to find the killer, I start getting threatening notes that leave me shaking with fear. Then someone throws a brick through my eleven-year-old daughter Cassie’s bedroom window, covering her in shards of broken glass. As I stand in her wrecked bedroom, I make a choice. I am desperate to help Lily get justice, but my daughter’s safety has to come first.

Even when I stop helping with the investigation, the messages keep coming. Someone knows what I saw, and I’m terrified they’ll come for my little girl next. But they’ve underestimated me.

No matter how far I have to go, I’ll always protect the people I love…

An astonishingly gripping psychological thriller with a truly shocking twist from USA Today bestseller Jill Childs! If you love Sally Hepworth, The Woman in the Window or Liane Moriarty, you’ll adore this up-all-night, addictive thriller. 

My Review

After reading the description for this book I knew I would be hooked on this and my goodness I had no idea. I literally read this book in a matter of hours. The whole storyline grips you and doesn't let you go till that last page and even on that last page you will be in total shock from the twists. Honestly my heart was racing, I was absolutely terrified reading this, the suspense is unreal and I had no idea what was going to happen next. 

This book has everything I look for in a psychological thriller and I can see this going straight to the top of the bestsellers charts. I will be recommending this to everyone! Oh and this author is definitely becoming one of my all time favourites.

About the Book

Her husband is dead. But his secrets live on…

When Constance hears the knock on her door, her heart misses a beat in fear. She ushers the police into the lounge, and they tell her to sit down. It’s hard to stop her legs from shaking and their words buzz in her ears as they tell her that Daniel – the husband she has always loved – has been found dead in what they believe is a tragic suicide.

As Constance breaks the news to her teenage daughter Cathy, her thin shoulders shake with sobs. She says that her father had everything to live for and he wouldn’t have left them behind. Constance knows this is true. Because she also knows about Maya, the other woman he would do anything for, the woman she has been following, the woman he argued with the day he died.

Constance tries to put her grief and anger aside and find out what happened for the sake of her daughter. But as she digs deeper into Daniel’s death, it looks as if he isn’t the only one who has been hiding things…

What did Cathy know about her father and his other woman? What really happened the day Daniel died?

Constance is desperate to learn the truth… but will it destroy what remains of her family?

A heartbreaking and powerful novel about family secrets and the decisions we never think we will have to make. Perfect for fans of Imogen Clark, Amanda Prowse and Susan Lewis.

My Review

This is such an absolutely heartbreaking book. If your going to read this you must make sure you have a full box of tissues as you will be sure to shed many tears as it's incredibly emotional. I really felt for these characters they've literally had their worlds turned upside down and when they think it can't get any worse then Boom... 

Once you pick this up you won't be able to put it down you will be hooked. I was desperate to know how this book would end. Absolutely loved this book.

Blog Tour - Two Mothers

 

Publication date 5th July 2024

About the Book

Her daughter died. Did she take mine?

A year ago, my best friend Rachel’s daughter died. Ever since then I have held my own beautiful little girl tighter. I watch Luna shriek with laughter as she tips her toys all over the floor and I look anxiously at Rachel, sipping her tea. But Rachel reassures me that being near Luna helps fill the gaping hole of her grief, just a little.

And when I face my own worst nightmare when Luna is snatched from her bed in the middle of the night, it is Rachel who holds me tightly as I wail. She looks at the blue and white police tape crisscrossing my little girl’s bedroom and promises me they will find Luna. What happened to her daughter was different.

And Rachel is right. Two days later I’m holding my precious girl in my arms after she is found in a nearby park. But my joy is short-lived. Rachel’s husband reports her missing. And when the police find Luna’s cuddly lamb in Rachel’s house, I am forced to face the shocking truth. Did my best friend take my daughter?

Or did someone want Rachel out of the way, to frame a vulnerable, grieving woman? When I receive an anonymous note telling me to stop asking questions, I am certain I don’t know everything.

Who is in the most danger – my best friend, my child, or me? And if I make one wrong move, what will I lose?

A gripping and jaw-dropping page-turner with twists to die for. If you love Lisa Jewell, K.L. Slater and Claire Douglas you’ll love Two Mothers.

My Review

This book is literally frightening. It's every mother's worst nightmare. Honestly my heart was pounding throughout. I was so scared what was going to happen next and rightly so as it was jam packed with twists you don't see coming at all. My jaw was on the floor so many times I couldn't believe it.

You will not be able to put this down and it is a book you will read in a matter of hours as you need to know what is going to happen.
