4.5
Lots of twists in this one, so many secrets! I plowed through this story because I was dying to see how it unfolded. It didn’t disappoint!

The characters were great! Crazy details about some of them come out right until the ending! Reading about the work behind being, and also raising, an elite athlete was very interesting.

It’s hard to talk about the story without giving away anything so I’ll end by saying that the ending was strangely satisfying for me. I know that may horrify some of you but I’m sticking with it.

I will definitely recommend this author and check out her prior works. Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and Harlequin - Mira for a copy in exchange for a review.

I am a huge fan of JT but ufortunately I wasn't able to get into this one. Thank you to netgalley and the author for an advance copy.

I got off to a bad start with this one. Nothing really clicked for me through the first half of the novel.

Mindy seemed unrealistic. I felt like she was one dimensional. I mean she learns she has cancer and before any treatment options are discussed there she is cutting off all her hair. It just didn't work for me. Juliet was way too cliche and I couldn't quite understand the point of Jasper.

The second half was much more enjoyable. The mystery really started to come together at the height of Mindy's illness. You really started to get a clear picture of the point of the secondary characters and I got to a point where I actually got anxious thinking how this elaborate charade will all end

This might be J.T. Ellison's best book yet! Deserves more than 5 stars. This is a story about a 17 year old girl, Mindy, who lives for skiing and aims to be on the Olympic team, After a bad crash on the slopes it is discovered she has leukaemia. She needs a cell stem transplant but neither of her parents are a match. Neither mother nor father is a biological parent. Lots if twists and turns but a book you won't want to put down. Another one hit out of the ballpark by this Author.

I dove into Tear Me Apart head first and couldn’t put this addictive book down until I was finished! The storyline was incredibly well developed and the pacing was perfect. I love when a mystery/thriller shocks me and this book 100% delivered! I was so invested in the characters and their outcome- J.T. Ellison did a fantastic job with keeping me on hook! Tear Me Apart is a complete 5 star read that you won’t be able to put down! I LOVE J.T. Ellison’s writing style and I have to say this novel is my new favorite from her! Don’t miss this must read!

Thank you to the publishers for the advanced copy. JT Ellison is one of my favorite authors. In fact, I thought the book was so good, I read it in less than two days. I loved all of the characters. I thought I might have had the plot twist figured out, but I didn't. This book kept me guessing until the end. Thank you for another fantastic read!

Thank you to NetGalley and HARLEQUIN for an advanced read in exchange for this review.

Mindy is a world class 17 year old skier.  After a fall and injury, she discovers she has cancer.  Tests reveal that her parents are not her biological parents.  Not only is her life at risk, but who are her parents and where did she come from?  

I enjoyed the mystery in this book.  There's a mix of likable and unlikable characters (don't want to give too much away).  I found plenty to keep me guessing as the story unfolded.  I'm not sure I would have guessed all of the plot twists since many of them were unpredictable.   A good, solid read.

J.T. Ellison's Tear Me Apart -- literally did tear me apart. I could not put this book down. Once again, Ms. Ellison weaves a tale so masterfully... crafting the perfect family with the perfect daughter, only to tear them apart. The story is full of twists, turns, and back story popping up to keep the reader off balance, but turning the pages as the ending is amazing. I'm a big fan of Ms. Ellison's books, but this one is by far my favorite... Highly recommended!
