This was a very easy and quick to read book. However, I found the characters to be under-developed and the plot to be predictable. Overall, a fun afternoon read if you're not looking for something too deep or intricate.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Home Is Where The Bodies Are!

While the plot was intriguing, I DNF'd around 30% into the audiobook. I felt that too much information was revealed early on, and it kept me from wanting to come back and find out more. The writing was fine, but a little more cliché-heavy than I expected from Jeneva Rose.

Although I had it figured out pretty early on, I couldn't wait to keep reading! This was a quick read for fans of the thriller/suspense genre.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC.

Yeah, I couldn't put this one down. More so because I needed to know how it will end more so to see if I was right with my thoughts. QUick read,

Received a digital ARC of this book via NetGalley.

This was my fourth book by this author. As someone who reads a lot of mystery/suspense, I never guess her twists. I like that her work is not gory, raunchy, or full of excess fluff. This was a fast paced novel that takes you through the hidden secrets of a family that become exposed to once they dig out the home videos.

Home is Where the Bodies Are, is another great story told by Jeneva Rose. It delves into family dynamics and sibling relationships that are most likely extremely relatable to readers. The story held a good mystery and kept me intrigued until the very end. Unfortunately, the ending left something to be desired and was not nearly as shocking as her other books. I would recommend this to any mystery readers who are interested in a good story along the way,

A great book! One of Jeneva Rose's best. I loved the character development of each sibling. It was refreshing to read realistic emotions and reactions to situations and experiences that the characters faced, especially when they started to not trust each other.

What would you do if you discovered a dark family secret? This is the dilemma facing estranged siblings Beth, Michael and Nicole. Of the three, Beth is the only one who remains close to the family home in Wisconsin and she’s the one that hears their dying mothers incomplete deathbed confession. Michael arrives first from San Jose, having stayed away for years, whilst addict Nicole is in a mess in more ways than one. Later, when the will is read they’re all in for a number of surprises. Not only that but in a desperate attempt to recapture some nostalgia from happier times, they watch some videotapes. They choose one from 1999 which shockingly shows their father covered in blood and there’s even worse to come. Does this have anything to do with the disappearance of their father seven years ago? Whatever will the three of them do?? The story is told in dual timelines and in four narratives.

I’ve been curious about Jeneva Roses’ novels for a while and I’m impressed, especially with the quality of the characterisation. All of them are flawed to a greater or less a degree and therefore not necessarily likeable but that does add another dimension to the tone of the novel.

There are several layers to the story telling such as the relationship between the siblings and the family dysfunction as well as the mystery of the confession and what’s on the tape. This family are the very epitome of dysfunction and this is a very effective part of the plot.

The storytelling is lively and visual, in fact, this would make a great movie or miniseries. The four points of view and the dual timelines work really well allowing secrets to bubble to the surface organically, deepening the intrigue. It’s all told at a quick pace, it’s easy to read with plenty of dramatic tension. There are some twists which pull you up sharply and which I don’t foresee. The conclusion is good, perhaps a tad overdramatic but it is exciting and that’s what counts.

Overall, my curiosity is more than satisfied and I’ll happily read other books by this author.

With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Orion Publishing Group for the much appreciated arc in return for an honest review.

Full disclosure I love Jeneva Rose. So she is an auto read for me. This novel is my favorite of hers. Full of twists and turns and I can’t get over the cover!

This thriller will have you on the edge of your seats as you devour page after page. It is perfect for the chilly autumn nights of October when I am wanting something to keep me up at night

Thank you to netgalley for providing an e-galley for review. Home is Where the Bodies Are is what would happen if you had a found footage of your seemingly benign parents hiding a dead body, and you have to watch it with your estranged siblings. This was so mych fun to read. Who was this deada body, who killed them, and how were the parents involved. Secrets are hidden from everyone, especially from family.

While the storyline was fairly predictable, I still enjoyed this story. Much better than the last Jeneva Rose I read. I liked the setting and most of the characters.

This book was fabulous!! I could not put it down! A twisty thriller with an ending I did not predict. Highly recommend!

DNF - unfortunately I don’t think this author is for me. I have picked this up a couple times and just can’t get into it so I’m setting it down.

*I don’t rate DNF books, but marking one star per NetGalley request for rating.

Thank you to the publisher for providing a copy.

Although I did not particularly like any characters in this book, I still could not put it down. I devoured this book so quickly because I just could not wait to find out what the answer to the mystery was. It kept me guessing right up to the very end. The pacing was balanced and the two timelines tied together seamlessly to make this a really enjoyable reading experience. I would definitely find myself recommending this one to anyone who loves a quick mystery read.

Home is Where the Bodies Are quickly rose to the ranks of my favorite Jeneva Rose book. Of course, the cover design and the synopsis sparked my interest, but hearing the author say that she got the inspiration from watching home videos her mom made and during a pan out on the forest thought, “but wouldn’t it be crazy if my dad appeared on the screen covered in blood?” is what really pulled me in. This type of “intrusive thought” inspiration is so genuine and relatable, and I feel like it helps spark that level of believability that a story like this needs.

Home is Where the Bodies Are is a domestic thriller where three estranged siblings come back together at the end of their mother’s life only to learn that the disappearance of a young girl that haunts their small town and the later disappearance of their father may have more in common than they could have ever imagined.

This is a well-paced, quick, and entertaining thriller with a satisfying ending and a hit of nostalgia.

Three estranged siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos that reveal a night back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. This is an original, fast paced thriller. The characters are relatable and their emotions of loyalty and grief made the story even better. I love Jeneva Rose books and this is one of her best! Highly recommend.

Jeneva Rose is a thriller genius. Once I start a book I can't put it down. Each one of her books has me turning page after page. This book was no different. The suspense and thrill had my heart racing and I never suspected the twists she would throw in there. You will always think you've guessed the suspect, but you haven't. I can't wait for my next Jeneva read.

Fast-paced, interesting characters, great mystery. I love this author and think I will eat up anything she writes in a matter of days (which is rare for me!) I did guess the twist a bit, but still overall liked the storyline and loved the detailed setting and description of the 90s.
