Emma in the Night | Wendy Walker

#EmmaInTheNight #WendyWalker #BookSpinBingo

One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. Three years later, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. Her story is one of kidnapping and betrayal, of a mysterious island where the two were held. But to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter, something doesn't add up.

EadieB Looking deep within this dysfunctional family Dr. Winter uncovers a life where boundaries were violated and a narcissistic parent held sway. And where one sister's return might just be the beginning of the crime.
This is a psychological suspense novel about the Tanner sisters disappearance. It is a slow-reveal as Cass comes home to tell the story.

EadieB Cass is an unreliable narrator as she isn't telling the truth. The story is about narcissistic personality disorder and how it manifests in a dysfunctional family. The characters are very manipulative and the plot is one that keeps you reading to the satisfying ending. You just need to read this book. If you love psychological suspense then you will love this book. 1y
Andrew65 Another excellent review. 👏👏👏 1y
EadieB Thanks! 1y

So amazing. A fascinating look inside a family loaded with mental illness leaving you with the question, “can the cycle be stopped?” Lots of twists and turns that kept me up way past my bedtime in order to finish it! #botm #bookofthemonth #emmainthenight

LazyDays Thank you! 6y
TheLibrarian I look forward to seeing how you liked Red Clocks. It was my 2nd least favorite this year. 6y
Jess7 Ohhhh no! I‘m not a big dystopian fan- so that‘s not good news. I liked added it to a previous #botm box because of the #feminist message undertones and the comparisons to #TheHandmaidsTale.... what did you not like about it @TheLibrarian 6y

Two sisters disappear. Three years later one comes back. Stories and lies are interwoven. There may be a crime. Someone has a narcissistic personality disorder. Who to believe? I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the book. Also, I enjoyed wanting to know more of what was going on.

My #BOTM package arrived! 📚 I chose #TheDarkLake, #TheHeartsInvisibleFuries, #EmmaInTheNight and this super cute (free) coloring book for readers. Which book(s) did you choose for #BookOfTheMonth?

Don‘t forget The Heart‘s Invisible Furies is our NOVEMBER pick for #BOTMBuddyRead. 📚 This is a #heartwarming story of one man‘s lifelong journey of #selfdiscovery which reminds us all of the redemptive power of the human spirit. #TBR

Nat_Reads I chose Extraordinary Beasts, Sleeping Beauties, and After the Eclipse! Next month I'm definitely getting Heart's Invisible Furies--every one seems to LOVE it! 6y

I don't understand the phrase "too many books" ♥️?

Happy #Caturday - I've been using Saturday mornings to take photos but I've woke up to grey skies & a tiny chance of rain this morning. So I'm flipping my routine around & reading this morning.

Reviewsbylola I loved Furies SO MUCH. Unfortunately Emma was a letdown. 6y
AmyG I already have The Hearts Invisible Furies and can't wait to read it. I got Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstances and Sleeping Beauties. 6y

bookloo I chose The Power, and regret not adding Beasts since I‘ve heard so many good things about it. 6y
MrsV I got Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstances, and The Dark Lake along with Furies. 6y
vlwelser I haven't read The Dark Lake, but the other 2 were excellent. Happy Reading! 6y
Alfoster I liked Emma! 6y
britt_brooke I haven't read any of them but The Heart's Invisible Furies is in my TBR. 6y
Cinfhen Hearts is on my TBR, I'm taking a break from thrillers so I passed on Dark Lake & I thought Emma was ok but nothing special. Can't wait to hear your thoughts 6y
Lizpixie I wasn't a fan of The Dark Lake at all. The thriller part wasn't bad but the main character drove me nuts. 6y
Bookaddictpnw I found Emma to be quite formulaic. Heart's Invisible Furies is truly a masterpiece tho!! Made me laugh and cry - it is powerful. 6y

Though this isn't without its issues - sometimes-uneven pacing chief among them - I do have to say that it kept me guessing every step of the way. It's engaging (though at times just plain disturbing), and I did enjoy it. Flew through it in a day. #emmainthenight #wendywalker

I just cannot comprehend a mother being THIS HORRIBLE. (I mean, I'm guessing that it's not just Cass' fabrication.) But my God, narcissism - true narcissism - is such a scary thing. #emmainthenight #wendywalker

I really don't even have anything to say. There are no emotional punches being pulled here, and the level of tension is electrifying. #emmainthenight #wendywalker
