I enjoyed reading this book! I was able to predict some of the ending, but there were some surprises along the way. Some of the dialogue was a bit choppy and seemed a bit juvenile, but I enjoyed the story and once I got into it it was fast paced! Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book just wasn't for me. It did not have that "thriller feel", and I got quite annoyed with the characters themselves. Plus, I think the dialogue was just immature. Gladly finished this to move onto another. The cover of this book is enticing, but that was about all it did for me.

What is it that Alex swore never to discuss and why is she estranged from her sister Ruth? Well, it's all about to come out. Alex is living the perfect life- nice place, good boyfriend in Chase, a good job in child protection. Ruth, not so much and, after many years, she's appeared on Alex's doorstep and she wants to stay. Here's the thing- Alex has to do it (doesn't she) and yet now she's in a big bind because she's got explaining to do. Things get very twisted and no spoilers from me because this is one that has to be experienced, not explained. Know that your views of the characters will shift as you read. Family dynamics make for the most interesting stories and Nay has written a whopper here. She's a good storyteller; I was a fan of her first novel and now I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. It's a page turner.

Roz Nay writes thrillers that defy easy categorization and I love that! Hurry Home was fascinating and I'd definitely recommend it to those readers who enjoy something special.

After a family tragedy sisters Alexandra and Ruth became distant. Alexandra or called Alex has always looked down at her sister Ruth’s lifestyle filled with drugs and her unhealthy relationship with her boyfriend. She hasn’t seen Ruth and she prefers it that way. Alex who is now an adult and works as a social worker is living with her boyfriend Chase in a small town and fills her days trying to save children who are in abusive homes. One day Alex goes to answer the door and is shocked to see Ruth. Ruth who is on the run from an abusive drug dealer boyfriend and she’s pregnant. Alex doesn’t believe her when she says she done with drugs and wants to fix their relationship. Soon weeks go by and secrets from their past begins to surface and it appears that Ruth is intent on ruining Alex’s life and everything she’s worked so hard to accomplish. Told in alternating POV of Ruth and Alex each telling their own version of the same story you begin to wonder whose really telling the truth. With so many twists and turns you start questioning is this really happening? I flew through the book four stars!

Thank you to both the author and publisher for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

The first thing that I found intriguing was a sister relationship with a dark past and secret. I found this to be a fast and easy read and I loved the relationship between the two sisters. This book was very interesting and I was constantly finding myself swiping my kindle to get to the next part of the book.

Unfortunately I did find the very ending a little disappointing and predictable but I look forward to reading more from this author.

Wow! A delicious pageturner about past, present, and family. No one is who they seem to be, so who can you trust? I ended up loving this story so much. I love it when books keep you guessing, and I had no idea how the end was going to turn out. I was almost literally glued to my Kindle for the hour and 20 minutes it took to read this one. Many thanks to Roz Nay, Netgalley, and the publisher for the advance copy!

The story of two sisters who haven’t seen each other in 10 years. One, Alex, is a social worker living with her model boyfriend. She’s haunted by her past but has carved out a life for herself and doesn’t want to look back. Her sister, Ruth, is a former drug addict who has always made bad choices.

This book is filled with some twists and turns. The characters are very well developed and the story flows at a great rate. It’s a page turner and will hold your interest. It’s hard to write what I want because of spoilers so I’ll keep it brief. This story is told from each sisters perspective and you will enjoy each. It’s one that may keep you up late reading. A definite page turner. While it was a bit predictable it was still a very good read.

Thank you #NetGalley, #SourceBooks, #RozNay for the ARC. This is my own review.

I give it 4 stars. I recommend this one.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books, and Roz Nay for the opportunity to read and review this book - wow! My head is literally still spinning after finishing this book! 5 stars for a twisty, twisty read that is riveting, heartbreaking, scary and just so good!

Alex is living the perfect life in Colorado. She has a wonderful boyfriend, Chase, a fabulous apartment, and she is the top worker in the local Child Protective Services office. Her boss knows that she will always put the child's needs first. But Alex's perfect life is upended when her sister, Ruth, shows up at her door pregnant, scared and alone. Ruth was always the troublemaker at home and left Alex alone when she left home.

That's enough of the storyline - you really need to go into this book as blind as possible. With chapters flipping between the points of view of both Alex and Ruth, you won't be able to stop turning the pages. Fabulous read and highly recommended!

A simple children's game leads to consequences that will destroy the family unit and fester over the years where truth and blame take on a life of there own. This is a powerful story with guilt, lies loss, love and redemption tested by all involved. Highly recommended. Another fantastic story by Roz Nay.

3.5 Stars rounded up to 4

Alexandra Van Ness works in child protection services in a quiet little town. She is fiercely protective of the children she oversees and becomes emotionally invested in every case. She fights hard to make sure any and every child is living in the environment that is right for them. She lives with her model boyfriend, Chase, in a beautiful loft style apartment and is extremely happy with her life. That all changes with a knock at the door and her world is turned upside down. Behind the door is her sister Ruth, who she hasn't seen in 10 years. Ruth brings her own baggage and also reminds Alex of some of her past mistakes. Pretty soon everyone in Alex's life starts to question the sisters about their past and why they haven't been in each other's lives for so long.

Despite the predictability of the book I still gave it 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. The characters were very well developed and the story flowed well. It only took me 2 days to finish and I was invested the whole time. I was able to guess the ending pretty soon into the story, but there were still a few surprises which kept me guessing.

Blood is thicker than water. When Alex’s sister Ruth returns to town unexpectedly Alex is worried their past she has tried so hard to move forward from will come back to haunt her. As long as Ruth won’t tell anyone about their past, Alex is okay with her staying with them.

Written in both Alex and Ruth’s perspectives, differing between past and present events, the story twists and turns. Ruth and Alex have very different stories of the same events. Which recollection is correct and who has been living a lie?

Well written as you try to determine who is the manipulative sister. As the story unravels it becomes predictable but you see how far family will go to protect one another.

Hurry Home is a well written slow burn thriller. It deals with topics of complicated sister dynamics, and how far into the moral gray zone one will go. It deals with gaslighting, grudges, and has one of the craziest sibling relationships I’ve ever read about.

The story alternates between the two perspectives of each sister, Alex, and Ruth. Alex is a social worker who is haunted by her past but has created a happy life for herself. Ruth is a former drug addict who has spent her life making poor choices and shows up at Alex’s doorstep unexpectedly after disappearing for 10 years.

They don’t have a ton in common, but the ties of sisterhood are strong. Flashbacks to the past are shared, and it becomes harder to distinguish how reliable each sister’s view point is. This book is full of unlikeable characters with secret motives and plenty of deception.

The twists in this book were impactful and I recommend reading it if you enjoy a good mystery.
I give it 3.5/5 stars rounded up to 4 for this review

I am sorry it took me so long to read this once I received it. It was filled with twists and kept me very interested. I didn’t want to put it down and lost a little sleep. I will definitely read the author’s other books. This was my first for her and I can’t wait to read the others. Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the early release copy.

Hurry Home is a fantastic depiction of two narrators who don’t quite agree on the truth. The story follows Alexandra Van Ness and her sister, following Ruth’s sudden reappearance. Despite having shared an upbringing, their recollections of childhood events don’t quite add up, leading the reader to wonder: can you trust your own memory, or is someone lying?

Roz Nay has crafted a novel that harkens to the slow burn style of cinema. It’s not an edge-of-your-seat thriller by any means. Instead, Hurry Home is a taut mystery that sends the reader in a suspenseful tailspin to the very final page.

4.5/5

Sisters!! Can't live with each other and can't live without...
Alex seemingly has it all, a great job she loves with child protective services saving children from horrible situations and a handsome boyfriend, Chase and a great home life. Things are going along smoothly until big sister Ruth shows up on their doorstep pregnant and in need of help. The sisters haven't spoken in over ten years, ever since Ruth left home after a family tragedy that scarred both women equally. Growing up Alex was always the smart one while Ruth was the trouble maker who was always looking out for her younger sister. Both have gone through life with secrets that only each other know the truth about.
Written in alternating chapters from each of their POV's the story kept me bouncing back and forth as to which of the sisters I believed. I love the authors writing style and thought the story was perfectly executed building tension and suspense throughout. Having just read Our Little Secret, the authors debut, I had an inkling where the story might be going but was surprised nonetheless with the reveal and conclusion. This story of dysfunctional sister relationships came at a time when I'm myself dealing with two sisters who aren't getting along at the moment so I could relate to the story that much more. I found the characters in the story to be well developed and believable as well as the push and pull, or the love/hate aspects of the family dynamics. To say the least, I thoroughly enjoyed this one and highly recommend it to those looking for a gripping psychological suspense, family drama story that had me invested from start to finish.

Thank you to the author, Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for the arc ebook to read, review and enjoy.

A psychological thriller about two estranged sisters. About secrets, past mistakes, love, lies, loss and the lines you cross! Many twists and turns, definitely a must read!

Hurry home is the story of Alex, who has a perfect life living with her boyfriend, Chase, and helping kids as a social worker. Until her estranged sister, Ruth, shows up at her door out of nowhere. Pregnant.
The book alternates points of view between the sisters, showing each of their versions of their childhood and adolescent years when everything went wrong. It is clear early on that Ruth is a liar, a bad sister, and has a history of drug use.
As the story goes on and their confusing past thwarts itself into the present, the book becomes increasingly more fast-paced. There were definitely a few things that I did not see coming.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a mystery. It's a good summer read, as it has some domestic drama, but isn't dark or too heavy.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.

Hurry Home is a book that is hard for me to place in just one genre. It’s marketed as a thriller, and it definitely has it’s fair share of secrets and suspense. But it also has family drama, too, which I really liked. The dynamics between these two sisters was tense and awkward, but I was flying through to find out what dark secrets were in their past.

I felt like I read this one really fast without trying, and overall enjoyed it. Hurry Home is a good suspenseful read for people who lean toward the lighter side of thrillers.

***3-3.5 Stars ***

Alex lives in a small mountain town in Colorado, works for child protective services and lives with her boyfriend Chase. All is well until her sister, Ruth, who she hasn't spoke to in years, turns up at her door unexpectedly. Needless to say there is a lot of drama that has happened in the past between the two. A lot that Chase never knew, so when Ruth shows up everything starts coming up and secrets begin unraveling.
I didn't really get into this one, and enjoyed "Our Little Secret" by Roz Nay a lot better. I didn't like any of the characters in this, couldn't relate and I called the plot very soon on. This is more of a family drama than a thriller or mystery and I'm sure a lot of people will really enjoy this.

Special Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for allowing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
