All I can say is wow！ This was the perfect gripping psychological thriller。 It was a short read but packed a punch。 I was hooked from beginning to end that I read it in less than 24 hours。 The storyline was amazing。 The plot was out of this world。 I love Emily。 She is such a strong mfc。 I love how she went with her instinct and did not back down that her mother's death was no accident。 All the other characters except Ben seemed shady and unlikable。 I guess that is how it was supposed to be。 You All I can say is wow！ This was the perfect gripping psychological thriller。 It was a short read but packed a punch。 I was hooked from beginning to end that I read it in less than 24 hours。 The storyline was amazing。 The plot was out of this world。 I love Emily。 She is such a strong mfc。 I love how she went with her instinct and did not back down that her mother's death was no accident。 All the other characters except Ben seemed shady and unlikable。 I guess that is how it was supposed to be。 You think you have all of it figured out who is responsible， but there is a surprising twist， and it is not who you think at all。 I love that。 I can not wait to read another book by this author。 。。。more

Having read and reviewed The Mother-In-Law's Secret at the end of last year， and loving it， I was really looking forward to some more secrets and lies by this author。I love the way that this one starts with a bang - the tragedy of Suzannah's death and the fact that Emily， although covered in bruises， cannot remember anything about the event！ She's certain she wouldn't hurt her mother - but what happened to her and who else could have done this！？This was fast paced right from the get go and the s Having read and reviewed The Mother-In-Law's Secret at the end of last year， and loving it， I was really looking forward to some more secrets and lies by this author。I love the way that this one starts with a bang - the tragedy of Suzannah's death and the fact that Emily， although covered in bruises， cannot remember anything about the event！ She's certain she wouldn't hurt her mother - but what happened to her and who else could have done this！？This was fast paced right from the get go and the short chapters and exciting writing style really helped to build up the tension and suspense throughout the book。 I was completely immersed and raced through this one desperate to find out what had actually happened。 I liked that we started at the end， so to speak， with the death - then worked out way from before and back up to date to follow the events of how we got to this point。 I found the characters to be pretty relatable and I really felt for Emily and the struggles of the past， fitting in， and now coming back to this。 I really wanted things to work out for her。 This was packed with twists and turns！ I had no clue what had happened and who to trust right up until the full reveal。 A great read and I can't wait to see what we'll be treated to in Price's next book。 。。。more

The plot for this story is perfect for a mystery thriller。 Emily’s mother is dead， and she can’t remember anything from that night。 There is motive because Emily and her mother has had problems， but she’s sure she didn’t killer her mother or did she… The main character made it hard to like the book because she goes around accusing people of her mother’s dead without being right。 All other characters outside of the main character were great and most of them felt realistic。

This is a classic whodunnit。 It seems everyone has something to hide。 The author has done a good job of propping up several suspects- all with their motives to commit murder。There were also several twists and turns designed to trip the reader into thinking they have the answers。 I love the family drama aspect of this but I feel like there was too much focus on the drama and the dramatics rather than finding the answers。Also， I feel like we did not get the answers as to what happened to the prota This is a classic whodunnit。 It seems everyone has something to hide。 The author has done a good job of propping up several suspects- all with their motives to commit murder。There were also several twists and turns designed to trip the reader into thinking they have the answers。 I love the family drama aspect of this but I feel like there was too much focus on the drama and the dramatics rather than finding the answers。Also， I feel like we did not get the answers as to what happened to the protagonist on the night of the murder。But this is a good psychological thriller which will leave you on the edge of your seat as you search for the answers。I received an advanced copy and the review is mine and voluntary。 。。。more

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Melanie’s previous book I knew to expect another great psychological thriller。 The story starts with Emily waking up and getting a message to say her mum is dead， but Emily is struggling to remember much from the night before and worries she may have been involved somehow。The book introduces us to the other people in Emilys life and the question becomes what happened and who was involved。I think Melanie writes brilliant psychological thrillers that bring twists Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Melanie’s previous book I knew to expect another great psychological thriller。 The story starts with Emily waking up and getting a message to say her mum is dead， but Emily is struggling to remember much from the night before and worries she may have been involved somehow。The book introduces us to the other people in Emilys life and the question becomes what happened and who was involved。I think Melanie writes brilliant psychological thrillers that bring twists throughout the chapters that keep you reading right to the end。 。。。more

This book was a little hard for me to get into but the twists definitely kept it exciting。 It was a pretty quick read。 My favorite part was all the family drama that was getting uncovered。 That tea was piping hot and there was enough for everyone for sure。 Addie was my favorite character， she was the bestie who is a true ride or die。 Not many friends would randomly stalk your family member and get the pictures to prove it。 It was nice to have everything wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end This book was a little hard for me to get into but the twists definitely kept it exciting。 It was a pretty quick read。 My favorite part was all the family drama that was getting uncovered。 That tea was piping hot and there was enough for everyone for sure。 Addie was my favorite character， she was the bestie who is a true ride or die。 Not many friends would randomly stalk your family member and get the pictures to prove it。 It was nice to have everything wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end。 A nice clean happy ending。 。。。more

Whew！ This was one that was a bookubus （you know。 A book that sucks the life out of you like a succubus until you are done。 It’s totally a word now， deal with it） for me。 It opens up with a suspicious death and everyone seems to not be telling the truth to the cops。 But our main character is a BA daughter， and is going to figure out what happened， even if she was somehow involved。 I was suspicious of absolutely everyone and I honestly disliked most every character。 This is kind of reminiscent of Whew！ This was one that was a bookubus （you know。 A book that sucks the life out of you like a succubus until you are done。 It’s totally a word now， deal with it） for me。 It opens up with a suspicious death and everyone seems to not be telling the truth to the cops。 But our main character is a BA daughter， and is going to figure out what happened， even if she was somehow involved。 I was suspicious of absolutely everyone and I honestly disliked most every character。 This is kind of reminiscent of Soul Mate by Sally Hepworth， but I loved this one so much more。 Overall， a great thriller。 Emily is back in Australia for a bit and promised to stay at her mom’s for the second part。 It would be an issue except for the whole blow up between her and her stepfamily a year ago。 But before she can move from her hotel to the house， her mom is found dead。 The police think it’s an accident， but Emily knows it’s not。 Her gut tells her， and everyone is hiding something from the police。 Including herself。 Because she was supposed to meet her mom last night， but was blackout drunk。 And she woke up covered in blood and can only remember a scream。 Thank you to Love Book Tours for the copy， all thoughts are my own。 。。。more

I was really excited by this book， as it sounded excellent and I’d read another book by the author， and it certainly lived up to my expectations！ I couldn’t put it down and read through it so quickly。 The short chapters made it feel fast paced and I really wanted to know what happened。 It’s everyone’s fear when you wake up after a heavy night…what happened？ I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good thriller。

You can always rely on Melanie to deliver an exiting thriller with more twists than a country lane！ This was a fast paced read with plenty of intrigue。 I genuinely didn't have a clue who the killer was。 I liked Emily right from the start。 It seemed like she'd had some tough times in the past， and never really felt like she fitted in。 I think we've all felt like that at times。 Step-family situations are so tricky and I think Melanie captured that well in this book。 I thought the pacing of the sto You can always rely on Melanie to deliver an exiting thriller with more twists than a country lane！ This was a fast paced read with plenty of intrigue。 I genuinely didn't have a clue who the killer was。 I liked Emily right from the start。 It seemed like she'd had some tough times in the past， and never really felt like she fitted in。 I think we've all felt like that at times。 Step-family situations are so tricky and I think Melanie captured that well in this book。 I thought the pacing of the story was good and we got to know the characters without being bogged down with detail。 The chapters were nice and short， which meant I flew through the book。 Definitely one to read。 。。。more

My Perfect Family by Melanie Price starts with a dreadful event and then works its way through how that happened and who did it。 The book races through at speed with twists and turns at every junction and it oozes with the emotion of the trauma and I was willing everything to be right for Emily Olsen。A couple of areas of description in the book seem a little woody， but it did not detract from the overall readability of the book。 The book had short chapters which helped build tension and made for My Perfect Family by Melanie Price starts with a dreadful event and then works its way through how that happened and who did it。 The book races through at speed with twists and turns at every junction and it oozes with the emotion of the trauma and I was willing everything to be right for Emily Olsen。A couple of areas of description in the book seem a little woody， but it did not detract from the overall readability of the book。 The book had short chapters which helped build tension and made for a fairly quick read。My Perfect Family was embroiled in twists and surprises all the way through。In conclusion a mystery involving a blended family that is fast paced with a few unexpected surprises。 If you like a good mystery then this book is for you。 。。。more

3。5 stars rounded upI thoroughly enjoyed The Mother-in-Law’s Secret and， while I didn't find this one quite as gripping， it still makes for an entertaining read。 I enjoyed the book being set Down Under and the short chapters make it very quick and easy to read。 The plot zigzags a few times along the way to keep readers on their toes。 All in all， an enjoyable story！Thanks to the author and Love BooksTours for the eARC of this book。 3。5 stars rounded upI thoroughly enjoyed The Mother-in-Law’s Secret and， while I didn't find this one quite as gripping， it still makes for an entertaining read。 I enjoyed the book being set Down Under and the short chapters make it very quick and easy to read。 The plot zigzags a few times along the way to keep readers on their toes。 All in all， an enjoyable story！Thanks to the author and Love BooksTours for the eARC of this book。 。。。more

It wasn't the vacation she expected。 She didn't expect to make up with her step-sister。She didn't expect to run into her ex-boyfriend。And she certainly didn't expect to wake up to a phone calling telling her that her mother was dead。Price weaves all of these unexpected events into a thriller that will keep you guessing。 Emily can't remember what she did last night， and the rest of the family including her aunt， uncle， stepfather， step-sister， and her mom's business partner are all acting shady。 It wasn't the vacation she expected。 She didn't expect to make up with her step-sister。She didn't expect to run into her ex-boyfriend。And she certainly didn't expect to wake up to a phone calling telling her that her mother was dead。Price weaves all of these unexpected events into a thriller that will keep you guessing。 Emily can't remember what she did last night， and the rest of the family including her aunt， uncle， stepfather， step-sister， and her mom's business partner are all acting shady。 So of course， she puts her lawyerly skills to use to find out what happened。If you like books that keep you guessing， this book's for you！Thanks to Love Books Tours for an advance reader's copy。 。。。more
