Josh and Grace have been together for 5 years. Grace has 2 year old son Logan and in the 5 years they have been together, Josh has been raising Logan as his own. Now Logan is 7 and Grace has a terrible accident. As Josh is trying to maintain guardianship of Logan, many questions come up about Logan's birth. Josh with the help of his sister and his friend, try to discover the truth about Logan. This is a fast paced twisty tale of how far a parent will go for their child. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and its characters. I received an advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Harlequin Mira. All opinions are my own.

Hannah Mary McKinnon is back at it again with taught family drama where one thread coming loose leads to the unraveling of the entire quilt. In Her Secret Son, Grace's sudden death is that unraveling thread for Grace's partner and their son Josh, who Josh has been a father figure to for his 7 years of life, but never legally. While trying to secure his rightful guardianship, Josh uncovers more than he could have ever fathomed about Grace and his quest sends him on a desperate search for answers.

McKinnon writes family secrets and tension like no other - in a way I always liken to a Shakespearean twist - and Her Secret Son follows in the footsteps of The Neighbors in this regard. Full of suspense and intrigue, Her Secret Son is one you do not want to miss.

I received an advance copy. All opinions are my own.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book for an honest review.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was really impressed. There are a lot of twists and turns and I did not know where the author was going with this story line. It has a surprising ending but everything was tied up and I was very happy with the ending. This is a book that I can recommend to all my mystery readers

First, I want to thank Hannah Mary McKinnon, Harlequin-Mira (USA and Canada) and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Psychological Thriller fans Her Secret Son by Hannah Mary McKinnon is a must-read book of 2019! This book pulls on your heart strings big time and wont let go. I suggest you get your tissues handy. This book has so many twists and turns and so many shocking revelations. Trust me this is one book you will not want to put down until the book is done.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-Mira for introducing me to Hannah Mary McKinnon. This is the first time that I have ever read anything by her. She has an incredible gift for storytelling in the psychological thriller genre. She is someone I would love to read and review for again in a heartbeat.

The cover design was incredibly beautiful. To the graphic designer you are very creative and talented.
This book was set in Albany, NY. Hannah mentions Upstate New York, Syracuse, and Nor’easters in the book. I had to smile as I live in Buffalo, NY and rarely see authors writing stories within my state.

Hannah did an incredible job bringing out the emotions, details and descriptions out in the book. She seemed to be very passionate about her characters especially Josh and Logan. You could tell by her writing style that she was close to these two characters. Then again I had a soft spot for these two as well.
I could see this being made into a NetFlix Original Movie.

At the end of the book there is a reader guide that would be good for book clubs.
