About The Book:

HE SAW WHAT YOU DID…

Teenager Ebby Engstrom witnesses a murder – and then passes out. The next morning, he wakes in his bed with no memory of how he got there, and is told his mother was stabbed to death the previous night.

Thirty years later, the case has gone cold, with numerous suspects but no new clues – until Ebby starts having uncontrollable flashbacks to that night. As repressed memories surface, he questions his own role in the murder, leading to a dramatic confession and Ebby’s arrest.

Family friend and attorney Olivia Sinclair is convinced of Ebby’s innocence, but the only way to clear his name is to find the real killer herself. And it seems almost everyone connected to the Engstrom family had a reason to want Cynthia dead…

An unputdownable thriller full of suspense, perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister, Alafair Burke and The Good Fight.

Review

Ebby is a successful restaurant owner. He has begun having terrible flashbacks. They are so terrifying that he completely blacks out. The flashbacks include the murder of his mother, which happened 30 years ago. Ebby thinks he did it. He enlists a family friend, Olivia, to help solve his mother’s murder and to pull him back to the present.

Terry Lynn Thomas has woven a unique tale. With all these twists and turns, she kept me guessing until the end. And her characters are spot on. I love Olivia. She is smart and takes no prisoners. Plus, my heart goes out to Ebby. He was just a child when this occurred. So, you can just imagine his pain and trauma.

About The Book:

From the USA Today bestselling author of White Out comes a story of two heroines with shattered pasts and a town with blood on its hands.

When a North Dakota couple is shot down in their home in cold blood, the sleepy town of Hagen wakes with a jolt. After all, it’s usually such a peaceful place. But Detective Kylie Milliard knows better.

Despite not handling a homicide investigation in years, Kylie is on the case. A drop of blood found at the scene at first blush promises to be her best evidence. But it ultimately only proves that someone else witnessed the murder—and the results are shocking: the DNA reveals a familial match to a crime involving local nurse Lily Baker from over a decade ago. This unveiling stirs new nightmares for Lily as she’s forced to reckon with the most traumatic time in her life.

Haunted by their pasts and hunting the killer, Kylie and Lily uncover hellish secrets and impossible truths, finding answers that put both their lives in jeopardy.

Review

A local couple has been murdered in their home and their baby is missing. A spot of blood at the crime scene is found related to another case. It is a match to past victim. Kylie is now determined to discover the truth about both cases.

This story had me enthralled from the start! Talk about intense. I fell for the characters, especially Hannah.

Hannah is a young teenager in trouble. She is doing drugs and she just witnessed a double murder. And now the killer is after her. Kylie is the local cop investigating these double murders. The blood droplet at the crime scene leads to Lily, a local nurse. What all three of these ladies have in common…you will have to read the story to find out. And trust me…you will be glad you did!

I am definitely going to pick up the first book in this series. Heck, I am adding all of this author’s book to my tbr list.

Need a fast paced thriller that just won’t quit…THIS IS IT!

Editorial Reviews:

  “White Out” Book 1 of Badlands Thriller Series

“Readers will cheer the dogged Kylie on…Girard tells an exciting story.” —Publishers Weekly

“[White Out is] full of just the right number of misdirections and surprises. The characters, especially Lily, are appealingly vulnerable.” —Kirkus Reviews

“White Out is a superb thriller—intense, intricate, and so intriguing. Detective Kylie Milliard is a badass, and Girard is a one heck of a storyteller. The start of a fabulous new series.” —J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Good Girls Lie

“Girard excels at creating kick-ass heroines in high stakes, high tension thrillers. Lily Baker and Detective Kylie Millard ensure White Out is the start to another white-knuckle series.” —Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon and international bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series

“I loved White Out from page one until the jaw-dropping conclusion. I do this for a living, and Danielle Girard spun me in so many circles I was dizzy when it was over. The pacing is pitch-perfect, the plot taut as a high-wire, and the characters will stick with you long after you’ve read the shocking finale. I can’t wait to read Danielle’s next adventure in the sleepy little town of Hagen, North Dakota, which calls to mind Benjamin Franklin’s famous quote: ‘Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.’” —DJ Palmer, USA Today bestselling author of Saving Meghan

“Tantalizingly and seductively chilling. The storylines twist and turn and combine, revealing loss, fear, and love in a rivetingly compelling—and constantly surprising—tale of lives forgotten and lives found. Danielle Girard delves revealingly into deep emotions and hidden motivations in this original and supremely satisfying thriller.” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, nationally bestselling author of The Murder List

Overview

Indie Next List pick for July 2021 * Parade “Best Books of Summer” pick * Real Simple summer reading pick * SheReads “Best WWII Fiction of Summer 2021” pick

The New York Times bestselling author of the “heart-stopping tale of survival and heroism” (People) The Book of Lost Names returns with an evocative coming-of-age World War II story about a young woman who uses her knowledge of the wilderness to help Jewish refugees escape the Nazis—until a secret from her past threatens everything.

After being stolen from her wealthy German parents and raised in the unforgiving wilderness of eastern Europe, a young woman finds herself alone in 1941 after her kidnapper dies. Her solitary existence is interrupted, however, when she happens upon a group of Jews fleeing the Nazi terror. Stunned to learn what’s happening in the outside world, she vows to teach the group all she can about surviving in the forest—and in turn, they teach her some surprising lessons about opening her heart after years of isolation. But when she is betrayed and escapes into a German-occupied village, her past and present come together in a shocking collision that could change everything.

Inspired by incredible true stories of survival against staggering odds, and suffused with the journey-from-the-wilderness elements that made Where the Crawdads Sing a worldwide phenomenon, The Forest of Vanishing Stars is a heart-wrenching and suspenseful novel from the #1 internationally bestselling author whose writing has been hailed as “sweeping and magnificent” (Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author), “immersive and evocative” (Publishers Weekly), and “gripping” (Tampa Bay Times).

Review

Yona was stolen from her rich, German parents when she was just 2 years old. She was raised by an old woman in the forest. She learned how to survive and how to hide. So when she encounters some Jews who have escaped the ghetto, she does everything in her power to save their lives, including contacting her real father.

Yona is a character I adore. She is tough and has a big heart. She struggles to overcome her fear of people and of situations she has never experienced to keep everyone safe. Even though so much is out of her control, this does not stop her.

This is a a bit of a new take on WWII for me…and I have read them all! I have read a few stories about people living in the forest. But, I have not read one as detailed and as interesting as this one. I was completely captivated by the setting, the intensity and the characters!

Need a fantastic WWII book…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

About The Book:

A diabolically twisty, psychologically unsettling novel about a woman with no recollection of her past.

Addison’s about to get married, but she’s not looking forward to the big day. It’s not her fiancé; he’s a wonderful man. It’s because Addison doesn’t know who she really is. A few years ago, a kind driver found her bleeding next to a New Jersey highway and rescued her. While her physical wounds healed, Addison’s memory never returned. She doesn’t know her real name. Or how she ended up injured on the side of a road. Or why she can’t shake the notion that she may have done something very, very bad . . .

In a posh home in the Boston suburbs, Julian tries to figure out what happened to his loving, caring wife, Cassandra, who disappeared without a trace two years ago. She would never have left him and their seven-year-old daughter Valentina of her own free will—or would she?

As these two lives intersect, The Stranger in the Mirror hooks readers with riveting drama, told with Liv Constantine’s hallmark blend of glamour, tense psychological thrills, and jaw-dropping twists

Review

Addison is picked up by a truck driver. She is confused, lost and hurt. She has no idea who she is or where she has come from. She ends up in Pennsylvania with a new life. She is about to be married and have her first every photography show. Then…just like that…the husband from her past has found her.

Addison is a character which stole my heart. I was captivated by her mysterious past and her flashbacks. When her past catches up to her, that is really where her story twists. Her convoluted past will haunt any reader for days!

Talk about a story that just won’t quit! I have loved all of Liv Constatine’s books. But this is by far the best! There were places in this story where I had to actually lay the book down a minute and breathe!

Gripping! Equal parts character study and domestic thriller, THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR makes for a perfect weekend read—a page-turner where you race to the end, breathless to discover the shocking truth.”- Lisa Gardner, # 1 New York Times bestselling author

“Diabolical and twisty, THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR is a tense thriller that will keep you compulsively turning pages well past your bedtime. A story of love and manipulation in which you won’t know who to trust or how the story will resolve until the final, shocking finale. THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR proves, once again, that the dynamic duo writing as Liv Constantine is at the top of their game.”- Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight

“The Stranger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine is psychological suspense at its finest. Full of dark secrets and surprising twists, Constantine’s latest thriller leads readers down a pulse-pounding path of lies, hidden motives, and deadly intentions. An addictive, unputdownable read.”- Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence and This is How I Lied

“I devoured this twisty, chilling, and hypnotic thriller in just two feverish sittings, desperate to guess what was going to happen next (but failing!) Told from shifting perspectives, THE STRANGER IN THE MIRROR is not only a propulsive, psychological suspense with heart-pounding twists, it’s also a richly-drawn, riveting story about a woman with amnesia, frantic to recover her identity in a house-of-mirrors world where nothing is what it seems.”-May Cobb author of The Hunting Wives

Overview

For fans of Carolyn Brown, Sherryl Woods, and Sharon Sala, comes a heartfelt, Southern second chance story for a single mom and her rambunctious young daughter.

Reggie Lee Stafford is a hometown girl living in Rambling, the town in Texas Hill Country where she grew up. As a single mom, her world revolves around her young daughter and her great job writing for the local newspaper. But her peaceful life is turned upside down when Frank Bell—the bane of Reggie’s teenage existence—returns to town to claim his inheritance.

Now, Frank is the owner of the local paper where Reggie works. Reggie can’t imagine going to work every day and seeing her old nemesis. Frank seems intent on apologizing, and if he plays his cards right, he might be able to make up for having been such a jerk when they were young. But Reggie has more than her own reputation to protect this time, and Frank is going to have to pull out all the stops to prove he’s worth a second chance.

Review

Reggie Lee is a daughter, a single mom, a reporter and a hometown girl. When her old high school nemesis, Frank, returns to Rambling, Texas, she just knows her life is about to change.

Frank now owns her newspaper where she works. By a twist of fate…Reggie Lee becomes the editor to this cash strapped outfit. Frank is now someone she must depend on to keep her job!

This is just a typical romance. No surprises or unique situations. But, I did enjoy the banter between Reggie Lee and Frank. These two have very good chemistry and they just made this story so much more enjoyable.

Need a sweet story with great characters …THIS IS IT!
