I really enjoyed this book which tells the story of Beth a therapist who has a Son and has just recently had a marriage break up and Danielle who is a young lawyer having marriage issues. Everything is not as it seems, with a few big surprises along the way involving a fire, cheating, a Mum, and two people who used to know each other. Fantastic read, finished in a couple of days.

A MUST read !

Two lives intertwine when Beth, a therapist, meets Danielle, her patient.

The story of Beth - in a life that involves her 5 year old son and her (cheating) husband, Richard.

As Danielle first meets with Beth, Danielle tells Beth that she is scared of her husband, Peter. This, on the same day Beth's husband walks out on her and their son...

Many twists keep the reader in avid suspense throughout!

Many Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a roller coaster of a ride!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

'I Know Your Secret' started off slowly, with an unsettling atmosphere. I felt uncomfortable (in the best way) and couldn't quite put my finger on why. I loved that I wasn't sure who to trust and that I was constantly second guessing my theories.
The big twist was great, but, I did feel like the subsequent explanation was a little drawn out and quite dialogue heavy. However, the additional little twists and turns kept me reading frantically right to the end!
This domestic thriller is gripping and exciting, though not particularly unique.

If you're looking for an entertaining domestic thriller, this one might be worth a read!

Wow! This was a great read. I was hooked from the first few chapters as the stories of Danielle and Beth paralleled and slowly met for a shocking ending. I definitely didn't see any of that coming!

Definitely recommend giving this a read!

I just reviewed I Know Your Secret by Ruth Heald. #IKnowYourSecret #NetGalley

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I Know Your Secret takes us into the lives of two women, Beth and Danielle. Beth, recently separated from her husband is taking on a new couple for marriage counseling while trying to balance being a single mother. While being stretched thin, she begins to question wether she is a good mother and the state if her mental health. Danielle is one half of the new clients for Beth, attempting to navigate the inability to become pregnant while also harboring secrets that could end her marriage. What secrets will come to life in this deadly game of betrayal and lies?

Let me start by saying this book was very well written. The characters were delightfully developed and you really found yourself caring for these individuals, even as they fell down the rabbit holes they had created. The point of view does change frequently, but not in a jarring way allowing the story to still be enjoyed even though you switch every few pages. My favorite thing about the writing of this book is that it didn't get bogged down by unnecessary encounters. Every character that is introduced holds a piece to the story rather than just having characters for page fillers. This book really was great, but let me tell you why I only gave it three stars.

The story has many twists and turns and they are all very well laid out and explained. However I found myself knowing exactly where it was going 30% in. I like being able to predict some twists, but figuring out all of them took some of the revealing joy away from me. It stole the OMG! THIS IS AMAZING right out from under me, and I found myself wishing that I had been wrong about atleast one thing. If I hadn't figured it out, this book would have pretty easily been a 4.5 star book for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery. The details are so well laid out, perhaps a bit too well and that could be why I guessed it. Pick up a copy for yourself and see if you can figure it out, and if you are shocked and stunned enjoy the wild ride that is I Know Your Secret.

This is a very cleverly written story, it makes you think you know what is going to happen but then it takes a turn that you were least expecting. The story started off ok but towards the middle was when I really started enjoying it. There are lots of shock twists that are edge of the seat stuff, it makes you think who do you believe of want to believe. I need to read more of Ruth's books.

This is my first book from Ruth Heald and I will definitely be picking her other books soon.

Beth is couples therapist, wife and mom who seems to have it all together but who quickly realizes that her life is not quite what she thinks it is. Danielle comes to see Beth for counseling, it starts a series of dangerous events that will make you question how their lives are connected, who is telling the truth and will they both survive?

I really enjoyed the back and forth perspectives between Danielle and Beth and how they were processing these series of events. It kept me guessing who was telling the truth and who was hiding something. I read this book in 2 days and could not figure out what was going to happen.

Ruth does an incredible job of building each character and playing with relational dynamics between these two women. A normal relationship quickly turns into a form of obsession and you don't know who is right or who is wrong. I would say this is a slow building, psychological thriller and a quick read!

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this free ARC for my honest review.

I will post a review to my blog/social media site closer to date of publication

Wow oh wow! I knew this was going to be a good book, I wasn't prepared for how good. 
This definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, it has been completely unpredictable and a fantastic read from start to finish. I haven't been able to put this one down. I have read other books by this author and they are always fantastic, this might be the new favourite. 
I honestly did not expect to love this book as much as I have. I was extremely intrigued by the description of this book and have not been disappointed. I cannot say anything negative about this book because I have literally loved everything about it. 
I have devoured this book in just one sitting, I was completely sucked in and unable to put it down until I was completely finished. This is definitely a five star book, although in my personal opinion it should have more than five stars.

To me this book was just ok. It was quite short and I didn't feel like we really got to know either of the main characters well enough to really care about them.

The book was fairly entertaining to read but the twists were not particularly surprising and the book did not break any new ground. There are so many psychological thrillers around at the moment and I don't feel like this one stood out in any way.

Reading this was a fine way to spend a few hours but I can guarantee I will have forgotten the plot within a few weeks. I would probably recommend it to newer fans of the genre.

I Know Your Secret by Ruth Heald is an edge of your seat thriller with many twists and turns. There were many times when I thought the book was going in a certain direction, only to completely change course. As the gripping secrets are revealed I was left stunned and in awe. I love this authors writing style. This is a must read psychological thriller!

Beth has everything. A nice husband, a lovely child and a comfortable home where she practices marriage counseling to her clients. Until one day, Danielle and Peter Brown - her new client arrive and everything changes. Richard, her husband moves out and wants a break and Charlie, her son is in danger from her own care. What's happening with her? Is she losing it again? Is she a threat to her own son? And most importantly who is this Danielle and what does she want?

Oh wow, I read this book in 5 hours and completely forgot to eat and sleep. I did not know which woman I liked/sympathized more but as the story grew, the feeling began to slide toward the other character and I can't believe how engrossed I was until I found out what was going on!

I love the way Ruth plays with family dynamics and relationships between women. It's also interesting how she places her two main women - two professionals - one person revealing their innermost thoughts to another while the other knows nothing at all. Suddenly the power shifts and it's all just a very dangerous obsession. I see a whole lot of client - counselor from this book and it's astonishing to know how lonely and risky it must be to let a total stranger into your house. They could be anyone, couldn't they? Especially when you have children around! Wow what an idea for a psychological thriller! I'm on the blog tour for this one in June and can't wait to share my thoughts on my blog with everyone else. This is a highly recommended psychological thriller with its fast paced, meticulously structured narrative and well developed characters. Bound to keep you entertained from cover to cover, I can't wait for everyone to read this brilliant book.

I know your secret was definitely a gripping thriller. The back and forth of Beth and Danielle added to the suspense. I’ve already added Ruth Healds books to my TBR. This twisted story of revenge is a MUST read for thriller fans! I had a hard time putting this book down. How are Beth and Danielle connected, who’s seeking revenge on who.

Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. A thoroughly enjoyable read that is both edgy and twisty to keep you turning the pages. Beth's marraige is going through a rocky patch. As a trained counsellor, she is trying to cope with the strain of this while caring for her young son. Danielle is her new client, she is also going through problems in her marraige. As the sessions progress Beth becomes suspicious that there is more to Danielle than first appears. One to read.

Although I didn't really like any of the characters I found this book gripping and twisty. Just when you think you know what's going on there is another shift in direction and then there is a final jerk at the end. I found Beth too needy and Danielle too OCD. All in all a good read.

This was a real page turner. It was such a twisty novel that had me thinking I knew what had happened but then doubting if I was right.

It's very well written and I'd love to read more from this author.

I Know Your Secret by Ruth Heald was a fun book full of suspense. I was curious and engaged throughout and was kept guessing!

Beth is a marriage counselor whose serious boyfriend has just left her. She is trying to help a client of hers, Danielle, a clearly troubled woman with severe scarring on her face. Danielle is hoping to have a baby with her husband Peter but Beth thinks something more might be going on. And Beth is correct! Both Beth and Danielle have secrets and the reader doesn’t know who or what to believe.

Take a look:

You’re not who you say you are. Neither is she. She thinks she knows me. She believes my marriage is falling apart at the seams, that my husband can barely look me in the eyes. She thinks I’m desperate for a baby, that my longing for a family keeps me up at night. As much as I hate to admit it, all of this is true.

She thinks I listen to her advice, that I care about her opinion. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Because she has no idea who I am. She has no clue that I know everything.

I know her secret. I know that she did the unforgivable. I know how many lives she ruined. I know exactly what she did. And I’m here for her.

Such a wild ride, you will be glued to the pages! This will be published on June 10! This book is well worth $3.99 for your Kindle, pre-order right now.

This was a wild book! What drew me to it was the description and It did not disappoint. I loved the way the way the author went back and worth between characters. Great read!

I wanted to love this novel, but, unfortunately, I didn't. The novel does not live up to what I was expecting from the summary. The pace was a little slow and I expected more twists and turns. However, the writing is well done and I'd be willing to read another book by this author.

I really enjoyed this book! I think other readers will like how it alternates between both women’s points of view, and how twisted the plot becomes. Both of the main characters are complete opposites in many ways too, so its refreshing that they are more different than they are alike. Beth seems to be the more cautious, timid, dependent, and needy character, while Danielle seems to be more of an independent, strong willed (however nicely disguised), and secretive character. They do share some similarities though...but which one of them is the liar? Or are they both liars? It has a much deeper plot than that of a woman seeking revenge. Not only are you waiting to find out why, but the way the author put all the pieces together so unexpectedly made for an awesome story! I will definitely be looking into other books she has written! Thank you Netgalley, Ruth Heald, and Bookouture for allowing me the opportunity to review this copy for free. My review is voluntary, and is my honest opinion. I highly recommend it! Initially it just seems like two women with completely different stories to tell and their own unique set of problems, but the end results are much greater than you’d expect. I love how everything came together the way it did at the end.

Plot: Beth’s marriage was already falling apart, but she’s still shocked when her husband announces that he wants a divorce. She feels heart broken that she was willing to keep working on their marriage after he was the one who had had an affair. Although she was angry at him, she still loved him and clung to the hope that they would be able to work things out. She immediately finds out how hard it’s going to be doing everything on her own because she struggles to take care of their 4 year old son on her own while working full time too. Richard, her soon to be ex husband, is still involved in their lives because he wants to continue to be a big part of Charlie’s life (their son) and also because they need to sell the house they were living in. Beth is a counselor who works primarily with couples for marriage counseling in a spare room at her home specifically for her sessions. She loves what she does, but she has a questionable past. She was previously fired from her job as a teacher, and spent a good amount of time at a psych hospital in the years before she met Richard. While in college to become a counselor she met Richard when he was one of her teachers. The further along things move in their separation/divorce, the more Beth talks about the only other man she ever loved; Nick, who died tragically before she met Richard. As the days go by, Beth finds herself teetering on the edge of sanity more and more every day...evidence of her being a risk to her son starts to mount, and she’s starting to feel paranoid and delusional again (the same that she did when she first admitted herself to the psychiatric hospital). Is she seeing things and being too paranoid? Is there someone following her? Is she putting Charlie at risk? Is history repeating itself with her mental anguish the same way it did after Nick died? At what point is she confusing reality with paranoia, depression, and delusions?

Danielle: Danielle and her husband Peter have been having problems for a while, so Danielle decides to seek the help of a counselor for marriage counseling. The first few times she comes to Beth’s for counseling, her husband doesn’t come. Beth decides to let Danielle start therapy with her on her own to see if she can help her, despite her husband not coming, because she’s obviously dealing with trauma resulting from extreme facial burns, but also because she’s admitted to having a bad childhood. Beth genuinely feels sorry for Danielle because she has suffered from such traumatic burns to her face with scars that are very obvious. Aside from her husband, Danielle doesn’t have any close friends or relatives either to lean on for support. Beth can relate because she doesn’t have any close friends or relatives either. When Danielle frantically calls Beth asking for help one day, Beth feels trapped into helping her because she is afraid of the consequences Danielle may face if she doesn’t help her. Against her better judgement, she continues the counseling sessions with Beth because Peter abruptly starts showing up for counseling too. Danielle has wanted a baby so badly for so long, but Peter is confident that he doesn’t want a baby because of Danielles “anger problems.” This is a surprising revelation to Beth because she never saw any evidence of anger problems with Danielle, and Danielle had seemed so honest in wanting help and never mentioned problems with anger either. She had pointedly claimed that Peter was the one with anger problems. Who is telling the truth? Then Danielle and Peter share some news that makes Beth question her husbands unfaithfulness even more. Beth was informed of Richard cheating on her when she received anonymous pictures of him with another woman. Could this other woman be Danielle? Although their personalities are completely different, Danielle also starts to worry that someone is following her, and is also paranoid about things that could happen to her. She’s an attorney who defends clients as a charity. Although she believes her clients have justifiably done the things they’ve done, could one of their victims be following Beth to try to get revenge? Who is really following who?

Is Beth genuinely going to therapy because she is seeking help, or does she have ulterior motives? Is Beth honestly trying to help, or is she intentionally trying to cause friction in Danielle’s life?

The beginning of the book starts off with a fire...but who was involved in the fire? Was that the accident that caused Danielle’s injuries? Was it a fire set by one of the women as a final tipping point in seeking revenge again the other? Had someone else been following them, and set a fire in an attempt to kill one of them?
