I am reviewing a copy of All the Silent Voices through The Wild Rose Press, Inc and Netgalley:





*This book contains content not appropriate for young children, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone younger than sixteen.






Emma Shepard had to leave college after being sexually assaulted twenty one years ago. She has done everything she could to forget the trauma building a life for herself as a loving parent, a wife and a successful marketing career. Her world is rocked when her rapist buys the Pharmaceutical company she works for.





Now she has the impossible choice between keeping the safe life she's created or pursuing justice. With the marriage she worked so hard to build at risk, and her child in danger, Emma is at the center of dark secrets and scandals.



I give All the Silent Voices four out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

This book was okay, but not really a standout. I liked Emma; I thought she was really brave and headstrong. But so many things in this book weren't that great. No one really paid for anything they did, both in the past and present tenses of the story. The idea for the book was great, but the execution was lacking. 3 stars.

A tragedy in the past no one listened and no one believed. This is a very exciting fast-paced suspense novel with turns and different twists that I didn't see coming.  A horrible night 21 years ago, what will happen now when you run into the person responsible after all this time? This book has a seat on the edge of your seat book.  I have not read anything from this author before but I liked this book.  I will see what else this author has for us in the future.  *This book was given to me for free at my request from NetGalley and I provided this voluntary review.*

Emma/Katie Shepard is married happily with an almost grown up daughter. She works in a pharmaceutical company with her husband andall seems to be going well until it is bought by another company. The manager of this company is none other than the man who raped her in college. What follows is Emma's attempt to get even which puts her and her daughter in serious jeopardy. While the idea was good, especially in the era of #MeToo, I felt that book only scratched the surface of wha could have been a great story.

Well written suspensful thriller, interesting from start to finish.

I loved that it was fast paced, I really felt the action. Well developed stoyline with strong characters. Not boring!
Captivating from page one.

Thank you to NetGalley and The Wild Rose Press for the ARC of this book. This is my honest review. All opinions are my own.

A great psychological thriller with a heroine that has to take so many decisions that will change her life and the future of the family she built over the years after she runs away from her past.
But as usual, the past comes back and it’s not an easy way to go again through all the pain and memories that she thought so hard to forget and overcome.
I loved how the author created the story and how she kept all the struggles and difficult moments and feelings very real.

This book was full of suspense and I flew through it because I desperately wanted to know what would happen next. The premise of a woman's company being sold to the man who raped her and left her for dead twenty years prior could come off as cheesy or over the top, but the author made this an enjoyable read that is timely. I highly recommend this one!

Drew me in a true page turner.so tense will be reading more by this author,Sat down to read a few pages& didn’t look up till the lat page.#netgalley#Allthesilentvoices.

Fabulous read kept me hooked from the beginning didn’t know where it was going to take me definitely recommend

Just finished All the Silent Voices! This fast-paced roller coaster of a thriller kept me up all night. Emma was raped when she was in college and was forced to leave because she was not believed. The years pass. She gets married and has a daughter who will be going to college. She has a successful job at a pharmaceutical company. The company is bought by the man who raped her. So many tense moments made this reader stay up all night to finish it. Good read! Thanks to NetGalley and Wild Rose Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book. I read some other reviews and based on the positive feedback, I decided to read it. I was not as thrilled as many of the other reviewers.
All the Silent Voices by Elena Mikalsen is a book about rape and revenge. The author says she started writing it before all the #me too voices started emerging. It is an interesting story of an incident in college that reverberates twenty-one years later. I found the writing hysterical and way overblown. I don't find rape or anything associated with it hysterical but it was hard for me to read the extreme words over and over. There was no subtlety at all.
And yet, this is a woman who shortly after being raped, met and married her husband and had satisfying sex with him. No healing time needed. That is not my experience or any that I've heard of. None of the characters were believable. It is too bad. This is a subject that needs writing about, that needs to be heard. As the title says: there are millions of silent voices out there.
And, according to the feedback, many women found this story healing.
So I commend the author for tackling this subject.

Wow....this book has left me speechless. I’m disgusted because everyone knows this happens in real life. The “good ole boys club” and all. I found this book very well written, and I applaud the author for writing it.

All The Silent Voices is a psychology thriller in a Me to movement. The book has you gripping your seat eagerly turning to the next page.
Katie was a freshman in college, when she makes a mistake and trusts her roommate. Joins Sharon at a fraternity party, that changes her life forever. Brutal raped by a football player. No one believes or offers help. College Dean forces her to leave the college.
Twenty one years later name change to Emma. She thinks she has her whole life back together. That is until the pharmaceutical company she works for is bought out. Richard the man that raped her is her new boss. Does she choose revenge or let's her fears control? Can she find away to help other women be heard?

A fast paced suspense. This book is well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this book. I received an arc from the publisher and Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.

All The Silent Voices by Elena Mikalsen is a well written suspense novel. Emma suffered a brutal rape back when she was in college, and never really shared the details with her husband and others. Now her rapist is her new boss and her husband wants to be friends with him! Emma is filled with anger

The angrier that Emma gets, the more she starts to find ways to pay her boss, Richard back for all the wrong he has done. Now she is figuring out that he is involved in bad deals about pharmaceutical drugs that have dangerous side effects. How will she get her revenge and will her family have to pay the ultimate price for Emma's pursuit for justice is the big questions in this book.

I like the way that tough issues are handled in All The Silent Voices. The title really does provide the foreshadowing that the author will be speaking for those that can't speak up for themselves. She advocates for the mentally ill and victims of rape with care and integrity, while fighting against corrupt systems that make it difficult to get help. The interwoven connections between the school, football team, and law enforcement that Emma was unaware of when she reported her rape is simply brutal....yet part of the good old boy system that still works against many people today. It also speaks to the fear that women may feel when reporting a violence violation like rape.

Very well done book, enjoyed the writing even though the topics were not easy. Highly recommend Elena Mikalsen- I will be following her and reading more of her work!

Trigger warnings: PTSD, Rape, Assault, Mental Health care issues


Thank you to NetGalley, Elena Mikalsen, and Wild Rose Press for this temporary digital advance review copy for me to read and enjoy. As always, my opinions are my own.

Thank you to #NetGalley, #ElenaMikalsen and #WildRosePress for the eARC of this book. In return I offer my review in my own words.

First of all, I would like to say that this is my first time reading a book by this author and it won’t be my last. She sure knows how to write a perfectly developed mystery/thriller as this captured from the moment I read the first paragraph. Talk about a gripping novel. This story is all things sinister, manipulative, calculating and greed. But I do love a sweet revenge and Emma sure got hers!

This story covers a tough topic of rape and assault which was very hard for me at times but it brings out the #MeToo movement that has allowed many “Silent Voices” to find the courage to speak out. It also brings in corporate & political dishonesty and greed and how society is impacted by it. I was shocked, at how the author portrayed how Big Pharma manipulates the systems to get drugs to market at times. We need pharma to continue research & development but not like this. For this reason, I really hope much of that is embellished though.

Emma aggravated me at times with her histrionics but I had to take pause to empathize with her based on her consequences of PTSD from her past. However, I did not like the way she pulled her daughter into her drama and dilemma that put her into danger. For that reason, I felt the story could be perceived as unbelievable or over exaggerated.

I really enjoyed reading “All The Silent Voices” since it touched on so many important topics, but mainly because it is just a dang good nail biting thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Good job #Elena Milkalsen & #WildRosePress.
