Full review to come on Goodreads and Amazon. Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for a review copy

Thank you to NetGalley, Boldwood books and author Joanne Ryan for the ARC and opportunity to review this book. It was good, but lacked that thrill aspect. I enjoy having multiple points of view but in this particular book it was just a repeat stated by a different character. The same conversations repeated and it became boring in a sense of I’ve already read that. It wasn’t hard to figure out how it would end and I feel like there could have been a better way to end it. I think we need something from ‘Emily’ after she found out who the real killer was, what happened to Emily after the police interview and the author could have had another small part where we learn more of what happened to Meg.

Overall, an okay fast read just lacking any real thrill or mind game that I like.

3⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the best books I read this year. I loved the twists and turns. I love the character development. I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it

Wasn’t able to read this one digitally but I did order a copy of the book so will be reviewing it after I’ve read it. I’m really excited for it as I’ve only heard great things about it.

All is not as it seems in Joanne Ryan's latest thriller The Sister-in-Law. This one was a deliciously twisted tale full of secrets and lies!

Just when Megan thought her life couldn't unravel any further, The Sister-in-Law delivered twist after twist that left me breathless. After the sudden death of her husband, Rick, Megan is blindsided by the arrival of Emily—a heavily pregnant woman claiming to be Rick’s long-lost sister. Out of compassion and shared grief, Megan lets Emily into her home… but something feels off. Emily’s behavior grows increasingly unsettling, and when dark secrets begin to surface, Megan is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her husband—and the stranger now living under her roof. If you love slow-burning psychological suspense with a sinister edge, this one will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

*Released in January, this book can be found for FREE through Kindle Unlimited!

Huge thanks to NetGalley, Joanne Ryan, and Boldwood Books for the advanced copy!

I was not terribly impressed with this book. I had a hard time getting into it and found myself completing it but not really enjoying it. I can't say what I didn't like, I just wasn't that into it.

My first read by this author but I shall be looking out for more. After a slow start I did find it a bit repetitive with events repeated from the two different POV. However it was written skillfully and it all came together with all the loose ends coming together, and a final chapter that I didn't see coming.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Great read
A great page turner
Will have you hooked from the first page to the last
With plenty of twists and turns
Thanks Netgalley

This book is a riveting domestic thriller about a recent widow and the sister in law she has never met. I thought I had the plot figured out when it threw me for a loop and ended in a very unexpected twist. I was pleasantly surprised.

I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys mystery/thrillers that keep you on your toes and guessing up until the very end.

Thank you, NetGalley for giving me access to read this book early. I’m reading and reviewing this late as the book has been released. This book had me hooked from page 1 and I enjoyed all the twists and turns along the way. My only compliant is the ending, it left on a cliffhanger and just abruptly ended. I have a few questions that didn’t get answered but, overall I enjoyed this book a lot.

I look forward to reading more of this author’s books in the future.

Good thing my sister in law and I get along! I loved this story and right up to the end I was on the edge of my seat! This was my kind of book with characters that you love to hate and nonstop action. There was so much going on and I loved every second of it. If you like a twisty thriller, this one is for you.
Many thanks to the author, Bookouture and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Thank you NetGalley for early access of this book in exchange for an honest review.

While this book was exciting in the beginning, some parts felt repetitive. Still I powered through and I'm glad I did because this book was absolutely amazing.
Easy read for people just getting into thrillers. You'll not be disappointed.

Is heavily pregnant Emily really the sister in law Megan never knew she had .... or is Emily gaslighting a grieving widow?? It's so easy to see why Megan would be taken in by sweet, very pregnant Emily. And it's interesting to see where things go as Emily gets her feet under the table at her dead brothers house....

4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

I received an advance ebook copy of The Sister-in-law by Joanne Ryan.

These characters are people I'm glad I don't know (off the page), but I'm here for all the drama.

The twists you don't see coming, perfect!

This was a quick read that grabbed my attention and made me want to keep going. Definitely recommend.

Thanks to NetGalley, publishers and author for an ARC of The Sister-In-Law.
3.5 stars.
This book has a good storyline and premise, and some great twists. My downside though was it was very repetitive. While seeing situations from a dual POV can add depth to a story, in this case it didn't really add anything extra until we reached the last few chapters.
Even through the negatives I enjoyed this book and will be reading g this author again.
Recommend.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC copy of this book. I enjoyed the book but it did not have me fully captivated. I enjoyed it enough to finish it and would reccommend it for something looking for a quick read. Some parts were slow but it got better as I continued. The ending was surprising.

Thank you NetGalley for early access of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book excited me with its premise and the twists were very interesting. However, I felt like some chapters were monotonous and spent more time repeating the same thing as the chapter before but from a different character's perspective. Overall, this was a fun read but I could have done without some of the repetitive chapters.

This one started out quickly. I like that in a book. The middle was a little slower and then Bam! the ending.

For me the ending was the best part. I liked all the intrigue along the way also.

The characters played their parts well and were also described well.

Although the ending wasn't a complete surprise, I still liked how it was presented to the reader.

Thanks to netgalley and Boldwood Books for the arc.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Megan & her husband Rick are involved in a car accident and Rick doesn't make it out alive. While at the funeral, Megan sees a very pregnant woman who introduces herself as Emily who is Rick's estranged sister who has been looking for Rick for years to try and reconnect. Megan is wanting to get to know Emily and her unborn nephew and when she finds out that Emily has no place to go she invites her to come live with her until she gets back on her feet. Parts of this were like "really" who is this stupid to let this stranger into their home and help her out. As the story continued to move along, things became a little more interesting and when the final twist is revealed that is when my rating jumped to 4 stars. Enjoy!!!
