A great thriller - I would recommend it!

This was a disturbing but phenomenal book. It was hard to read but oh so good. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an intense thriller that you can't put down!

This was an interesting read at first, but it then... quickly plummeted, unfortunately. It was still entertaining, but soon reached eye-roll territory. By the end of the book, it was like the world's cheesiest soap opera.

Just checked my GR records and turns out I’ve read Meyer before. Liked it well enough too. Don’t think I realized it prior to grabbing this one off Netgalley, but in my mind, his fiction was firmly based in a more horrific territory, so that was kind what was expected.
Surprise, surprise, Dead Daughters is a straight up thriller. And a very entertaining one at that. I’ve been very selective about my thriller reading, tired by all the clichéd, by-the-numbers ones out there. Meyer to his credit does something rather different and rather darker. While still utilizing the same genre gimmicks—a perfect family torn apart by someone threatening their young daughter, but managing to twist it in a very disturbing way.
Dark psychology reigns supreme in this pretty far-fetched but fun, fast-paced gutting of the American dream. A nicely diverting way to spend a rainy day. Recommended. Thanks Netgalley.

A great read by this author. I definitely recommend checking this one out!

Thank you Crossroad Press and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to review this ARC.

I I give this story 3.5 stars. I tried to get into the story but it just wasn't for me. It seems like it's really popular but for myself I just didn't seem to care for the characters and just didn't resonate with me.

I was recommended this book via a reviewer on booktube, and when I found it on Netgalley I requested straight away. I’ve loved Tim Meyer’s stuff before, but somehow this just didn’t work.
I didn’t care for the characters and I wasn’t invested in the plot, it was a big disappointment.

Wow! The turn this book took really caught me by surprise and I loved it. Drew and his wife Eve and their seemingly perfect life was definitely turned upside down. The threatening polaroid, the notes inked in blood, the mystery man who seems to be watching Drew. This book sucked me in right from the start. This perfect family could have easily been my neighbors which definitely makes you wonder if someone right next-door may not be who you think they are. Some of the twists and turns may have seemed a little out of reach but it definitely made me think. I have never read this author before and I look forward to more! Thank you to netgalley for the eARC!

Meyers 'Dead Daughters' wasn't exactly what I thought it'd be.
[[It was definitely a ride and any 'aha' moments were washed away by the next turnand twist.]] Especially coming from him (not a bad thing, just different)
Drew and his wife, along with their daughter, seem to lead a picture perfect suburban life. Drew receives a photograph in the mail. It appears to be the death of his daughter .... even though he can see her sleeping in her bed. He soon discovers that someone has been in his home, his daughters closet, his locker ... could it be the person in the van he keeps spotting at his daughters school? And WHO is the girl in the photo if not his daughter?

This book is a psychological horror masterpiece. Keep the lights on and lock all the doors, you will want to keep reading all night long.

I couldn't anticipate anything that was going to happen, in the best way!


I received an ARC from netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book was excellent! I was reading thinking it would be a serial killer novel. Not only was this book about a serial killers, it was also about medical experimentation, dissociative personalities, grief, loss and obsession. This was all packed in a novel one should read if you love any of these subjects. There were so many twists my neck hurts. Once I was finished with this book, I had to take some down time to process what I had read. I have always been fascinated with dissociative personality disorder. My mother was diagnosed with this when it was called ‘multiple personality disorder’. There were things she did to me as a child that, as an adult I can say may have been at the hands of the others, my mother had. This book explained things using a different process. Unethical? Maybe but sometimes people have good intentions and it does not always work out for the best.

Nothing is what it seems in this novel. Do we even truly know if our thoughts are our own? What if there is someone else beneath?

I had requested Dead Daughters after the publication date (April 17, 2022) So I wanted to rush to get to this in order to leave a review for Tim Meyers.

Immediately, as I picked up Dead Daughters, I realized this was not a book I wanted to rush through as I fell in love almost instantly.

Yes, I said I fell in love and no this is anything but a romance novel.

This is a twisted psychological thriller that will keep you guessing with every page you turn . The amount of anxiety I had while reading had my blood pressure at an all time new record.

The best part is, no need to wait to get your hands on this bad ass thriller. Its out right now! So do your thing, head on over to your favorite book store and purchase the book. I would never leave you astray.

Dead Daughters by Tim Meyer is insane! When I first started this book I was thinking "what the..." But when I kept reading I realized I was inside the mind of a psychopath. I was hooked after that. The way this story unfolded had me jaw dropping and my mind racing wondering "what's next?" Meyer really let's you in on the mental state the characters are in and as the story unfolds you have to stay glued to the pages, there is no putting this one down.

Drew Lowery is living the American Dream. He has the perfect family, a stable job, and a beautiful home in the suburbs of central New Jersey. Things can’t get much better. But what seems like the ideal life is suddenly upended when he receives a blank envelope in the mail.
Inside lies a picture of his daughter, a photograph of her violent murder. Only it can’t be her. He just tucked her in and kissed her goodnight ten minutes ago. But the mysterious Polaroid is only the beginning.
There’s the van following his daughter to school. The man she sees outside her window late at night. The fact someone entered her room while the Lowerys slept peacefully.
Local authorities are clueless. No leads, no clues, and ultimately—no answers. Drew launches his own investigation, falling into a hole of lies and deceit, a truth he never saw coming.

This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.
Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.
Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.
Recommend reading.

I was provided an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. This is my own hone\st voluntary review.

I read this all in one sitting. Twisty turny and dark, it is truly an impressive example of psychological horror.

I went into Dead Daughters thinking it would be similar to Paradise Club which I LOVED last year! So I'm biased haha. Sadly, Dead Daughters wasn't for me. The Plot sounded so interesting but I found myself bored and hating the MC. The reveal felt like something I've seen recently ( won't say bc of spoilers 😂) so I kept thinking about that and kept wondering if it was ever going to take that genre-bending leap that Paradise Club did.

Thank you for the ARC

this was a good read, kept you on edge of seat, made it interesting when the author brought in the multiple personalities and that no one knew
