Wow! That was a twisted story! This was a hard to put down book, it kept me guessing! Definitely recommend!
Thanks to the publisher for granting my wish

In the spirit of a modern retelling of Rebecca, I just knew I had to have this book, and I am so glad I got it. The differing POV from all the characters are really what made this book work for me. I actually used to not like that kind of telling much, but this author hit it out the ballpark. Colleen is pregnant and moves in with her lover in his huge mansion, but where is his missing wife? Did he murder her, did she disappear, what is going on? And all the people that knew Joanna before and are loyal to her, are they against Colleen or protecting her? As we learn more and more, at the halfway point, it switches over to the Detectives and what they are researching. This leads us down more paths which cause more questions. Is Colleen safe? Will we ever find out what happened to Joanna? The ending is amazing and out of nowhere. I never would of guessed it and I bet you won't have either.

OMG! That was amazing! Special thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for “granting my wish” and allowing me to receive an advanced copy. This is exactly what I love in a thriller, fascinating characters, amazing setting, and a storyline that flowed and was well written. Every character was fleshed out and I found it was really hard to hate any of them! Was I shocked at the big reveal ending? No, I started to get a “hunch” but I wasn’t 100% sure until the last few pages. I wish there was an Epilogue though because I really want to know what Colleen is going to do with her “knowledge”. Pre-order this one ASAP you don’t want to miss this one!

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review

This one was pretty twisty- some more obvious than others but still an enjoyable ride. You really do you fall in love with the main female character. Solid four

I will be talking about In Her Shadow for a long time!! This book is without a doubt the best thriller I’ve read in 2019! The entire storyline kept me guessing and at the edge of my seat, and I was shocked until the very last page. The author did an amazing job with details, character development, and keeping the reader engaged. I could go on and on; this book is amazing! I will be telling everyone to buy it!

With more than a passing nod to Rebecca, this novel takes Colleen, now pregnant with her boss Michael's child to his grand home, Ravenswood. Once there. Colleen becomes obsessed with the disappearance of Michael's previous wife. When bones are found nearby, the story takes an ominous turn and Colleen must face the fact that she may be living with a monster

A suspense novel that grabbed me from the first page, so I did nothing all day except read because I couldn’t put this book down. Coleen becomes pregnant with her bosses child only two months after his wife has left, and is moving into his ultra luxurious house and life. She’s madly in love, and Michael says he feels the same, but all around are poignant reminders of his wife Joanna, who was loved by all who met her. But of course all is not as seems, and when a body is found on a trail, all lives change.
A good mystery, well developed characters, and although I figured out the murderer before the end of the book, there were still many other surprises.
