This will be the best thriller of 2020!! Wow! Gripping story of loss, betrayal, and a twist of events you will never see coming. 5 glowing stars, trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Guess for 2020 - Little Secrets will be the must read book of the year in 2020.

Jennifer Hillier has become one of my newest favorite authors in a span of 3 days. Within the first few pages, Little Secrets, captured me into a story of devastation, hopelessness, relief for a deep friendship, back to devastation, heartache, hope, crushing pain, on & on. “A Thrilling Rollercoaster” is the best description!

A more detailed review closer to the publication date in April 2020. I will be suggesting Jennifer’s new book to everyone.

With gratitude to Jennifer Hillier for capturing into words truly haunting events, which unfortunately do happen and most likely took a lot, emotionally and physically, to write.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for advanced access to Little Secrets for my honest feedback.

I am excited to see the path of Jennifer’s new book - Little Secrets.

Heart pounding journey into a mother's/woman's worst nightmare. Twists and turns to delight even the most well-read thriller enthusiasts. Will recommend for library book kits and clubs!

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

As you read this book, you find a lot of "Little Secrets." Each of the characters keeps something hidden. The novel keeps you guessing as the story progresses and issues and backgrounds are revealed. I did not see the ending until very late in the book.

One of my favorite authors although I’ve only read two of her books. Little Lies does not disappoint. A satisfying read! Finished in 2 days and loved the speed of the book. This is one that will be a hit for 2020! Fabulous and thrilling! 5 stars!

Absolutely heartbreaking at parts and a truly unputdownable thriller! LOVED Jar of Hearts from Hillier so when this popped up on Netgalley I had to have it and boy was that a great choice!

I absolutely devoured this book. Read in probably three massive chunks because I never wanted to stop, including the last maybe 40% which I read until finishing at 1am even tho I had to work the next day, I just couldn’t stop!

An easy 5 star read for me

That being said, for me personally, I think I need to take a break from thrillers involving children. My heart can’t take it anymore! I like that the author acknowledges this at the end of her book, and I know she too has a young son, like myself, and it was difficult for her to write. It was an AMAZING book, very well written and an amazing story and characters but man, I need a break from poor children being mistreated. I read so many thrillers and I still am just heartbroken when it comes to children because I can’t help but put myself in that situation!

Amazing book. Love Hillier!

This book i was an unput-downable, roller coaster of twisted fun. Yes the main storyline is tragic and nothing fun about a missing child, but the book as a whole was AMAZING fun! If it wasn’t christmas day, I would have finished it one sitting.
I love Jennifer’s writing style and Jar of Hearts will always stay on my top 10 reads ever. This book was just as strong. She has such a powerful way with words, character and personality, and scene set up. I admire her writing and love her twisted, dark stories!
Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for my free ARC in exchange for my honest review. 10 stars!!!

Wow!! This book was amazing!! I still can’t stop thinking about it! It’s one of those books that stay in your mind long after your done reading it!! Exceptional story line!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

A compelling thriller. I actually found this book rather emotional and found myself crying at the end. The characters had substance. Definitely a good read!

This books!!! Oh my goodness, what a ride! I was instantly enthralled! Marins pain broke my heart, I did quickly realise who took Sebastian, but knowing that didn't detract from the story. Absolutely loved this! Will be telling everyone to read it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an ARC of Little Secrets.


Little Secrets left me guessing what was coming at every turn. But I had the ending figured about 3/4 of away through. I could've done without a lot of the side stories. Overall Little Secrets was an entertaining read. This is my third book by Jennifer Hillier and I can't wait to read more!

I could not put this book down - I immediately immersed myself in this authors previous novels after devouring this one!

Start pulling that string and you never know what is going to unravel and eventually, if you keep pulling, something will unravel. After all, everyone has secrets… even little ones.

Marin’s life has been in chaos for sixteen months; simply surviving after her son went missing at Seattle’s Pike Place Market just before Christmas. In the end, it was her fault and there are no leads. Someone dressed up like Santa with a child is not uncommon. And now, her husband Derek is having an affair with a much younger woman. Her best friend and long ago boyfriend, Sal, wants her to leave him or to let him “take care of him”.

Jennifer Hillier writes an engaging tale of kidnapping, lies, deceit, and desires with a satisfying ending.

When I requested this book, I looked at goodreads and marked it “Want To Read”. I knew I had to read it when I saw that it had no one or two star ratings! I looked at the author’s bio, it read “Jennifer Hillier writes about dark, twisted people who do dark, twisted things “. Looking forward to reading all her other books. 😊

Update: I checked out “My Year in Books 2019” on goodreads; her book was the highest rated of the 84 books I read last year.

Publication Date: April 21, 2020
Genre: Suspense, Mystery, Psycological Thrillers, Kidnapping, Crime, Adultery
Cover: Good
Rating: 5 stars
Source: I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity to read this great book!

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review -
I absolutely devoured this book - What a read!! I felt every emotion you could imagine, love, tears, fear, anger, revenge, etc -
A life is turned upside down in minutes as a mother is texting her husband and her son disappears in the mall.
Months of heartache, pills, and alcohol and an absent husband drag as the search for her son continues seemingly without hope.
As hope dwindles Marin hired a detective to look for her son. In searching she finds evidence of Marin's husbands affair.
Marin has lost her son - she will not loose her husband. Can she save her marriage? Will they ever find her son?
And what do you do when you find the mistress? Can an old friend help?

One of Hillier’s best. Little Secrets pulled me in and didn’t let go until the very last page.

Little Secrets is devastating while also uplifting. Heavy while also light. The world of missing children is not one that I want to enter anytime soon, but Hillier brought us to this place with the respect and delicacy that it deserves. Marin and Derek have lost their only child, and after 18 months the chances of finding him alive go down by the day. Marin is barely making it through the days and when she finds out Derek is burying his grief into another woman, she’s determined to stop the one thing in her like she feels as though she still has control over.

Little Secrets takes you on a wild ride, having you believe one thing until you’re quickly proven wrong on the next page. It’s fast and thrilling while also heartbreaking and tragic. Every page was better than the last - I would follow Hillier anywhere.

This book was a page turner. You were left guessing about who the villain actually was in the book. The plot made me think what would I do if I were in the same position, it makes you question things. Never a dull moment. What stood out to me about this book was the authors ability to move from character point of views, without getting confused. Very interesting read.

What a spellbinding read! Very unpredictable and kept me wanting to read "just one more chapter." Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

5 stars Thank you #jenniferhillier #netgalley and #stmartinspress for the advanced readers copy shared for an honest review.

This was my first book that I've read by Jennifer Hillier and won't be my last- in fact, I own two of her others and will be bumping them up higher on my to-read list.

Where do I start? I was hooked from the first sentence but I have to admit I"m biased- Little Secrets is based in Seattle (I live here) and the entire book referred to different cities in Washington - a few close to where I grew up. The book starts with Marin, a wealthy hair dresser to the stars loses her son Sebastian in a congested Pike Place Market a few days before Christmas.

The book details the deterioration a marriage can take when dealing with losing a child. Marin's husband, Derek-a rich CEO of a health start up deals with guilt and pain and he and Marin continue to drift apart. After a year, Marin hasn't given up and a PI who she hired when the police stopped searching calls with an update on the investigation. And that's when the book really starts getting good!

Little Secrets kept me guessing until the very end- I swore I had it figured out about halfway through, but no..... This book had plenty of plausible twists and turns and no one is as they seem.

A fun and entertaining read. The storyline is certainly well-developed and the characters are interesting, with an ending you don’t really expect. A good domestic thriller that will entertain.

Wealthy parents Marin and Derek have been devastated since their small son was kidnapped. They are surviving, but only just. Derek takes refuge in an affair and Marin relies heavily on her old friend Sal. Not wanting to lose her husband as well, and encouraged by Sal, Marin seeks revenge on Derek's mistress.

When she has second thoughts and tries to change plans, things begin unraveling at a rapid pace. Turns out, everyone, Marin, Derek, and Sal as well as Derek's girlfriend, have all been keeping secrets, and when those secrets are exposed, everyone's world is about to change in dramatic ways. This book is tough to put down until one reaches the satisfying conclusion.
