4-16-25: My 26th finished book of 2025! Brooke has just moved back to her hometown with her son Josh after being away for 11 years. Her parents have died and left her their home so she is starting over. Unfortunately the only job she can get is as a nurse PA at the local penitentiary where her high school ex is living out his days after a murderous night that Brooke witnessed and testified against him. Her old best friend Tim is there to help.
You don‘t notice when she walks in your office to bring you lunch, you don‘t filter your phone calls when she is tidying up your office; she knows your passwords and your phone lock screens. She has access to your bank account and manages your kids schedule. But the Secretary knows all of your SECRETS and she has the ability to destroy the company you‘ve built.
A birthday gift from my kids 🥰
This is a pretty suspenseful book. At times it gets a little repetitive but I still really like it. This author reminds me of the original VC Andrews books. They are fast reads that keep me interested. I wasn't sure who to trust in this book.
A slow burn of a novel that boils over with a thickening plot twist that shocking! I rather enjoyed the book and would recommend!
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
Wow! This book was a tangled web of lies, sex, and backstabbing….oh, and death. The ending of this book was pretty shocking and somewhat sad, even if the character that has the most tragic end was a pretty horrible person. Very well written and the dialogue had me chuckling and cringing. I loved it! I would give this 4.3 stars.
Special thanks to NetGalley for providing me this ARC.

Tricia and Ethan are searching for the house of their dreams which turns out to be Dr Hale's, a psychiatrist who vanished 4 years earlier. Tricia happens upon a secret room. One that contains audio transcripts from every single patient Dr. Hale has ever interviewed.
An interesting book about not so reliable people. The book says “never lie“ but you don't know who is actually speaking the truth. Definite page-turner. Great satisfying ending.
4/5🌟
