I give Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) by Meghan O’Flynn, 5 stars. *This review may contain spoilers from previous books in the series..*
Wow. This yet another gripping fascination of a book from a thrilling series. It grabs you by the proverbial balls and takes you on a wild ride you will never see coming. The story has so many twists and turns, I was dizzy at the end of it but wanted to get back on the ride again. The characters are incredible too. They have each gone through so much, they are definitely not your cardboard placeholders just there to help the story along. This book is so much more than just the mystery of finding out what happened and who did it. The author does a wonderful job of throwing in so many subplots while keeping the book clean and interesting.
While this book may have some parts that may be a little too much for the lighthearted, this is a spectacular addition to the series and highly recommended to those who enjoy a criminal thriller. This book can be read as a standalone (in my opinion), but you will understand and feel so much more if you read the previous books in the series first.

Absolutely riveting. I cannot get my brain ready for each story she tells and I cannot begin to imagine how she even crafts each story. But each book is a masterful suspense-filled web of intrigue. A delicate balance of mystery, anticipation, and organized chaos, this latest addition to the Ash Park universe kept me holding my breath the entire book. Loved every page. Masterful!

Wow! This is eye opening. I am almost speechless about what to write. The story just really…really makes you think. I was sickened as well as freaked out on numerous occasions. Then something would happen that would make me laugh. Usually it’s a crazy Petrosky comment or action. Even Jackson a couple times a some good zingers.
This isn’t my first story by this author. Ed is getting back into being Detective, sleuthing and annoying suspects. I love his go getter take no crap attitude. Jackson smoothes out his rough edges. Morrison is tough to replace but Jackson is getting there.
This is a great thrill ride. One that will shock and surprise you.

Imposter by Meghan O’Flynn is the seventh book in the Ash Park series. These books are best read in order as the characters are recurring and you get the development over the course of the series. This book has to be my favourite one in this series so far! It was exciting and intense. I found myself desperate to find out what was going on – did the family know something? Was it the kidnappers from previous? Was it something else entirely that I didn’t see coming? I was hooked on this book from the minute I started reading and I didn’t out it down until I had finished. This was an amazing book and this series is easily one of my favourites!

I wasn’t prepared for this thriller. Wow. Gripping from beginning to end, I couldn’t put it down. I literally was so engrossed in the story I read it in one sitting. Hester writers an amazingly vivid story with characters so real they jumped off the page. If you like a thriller that will play with your mind and emotions, you absolutely have to add this to your library immediately.

I enjoyed this psychological thriller. This is a new author for me and I will be looking for more from her. It is a well developed story that I found to be engaging and read in one sitting. The characters made the story feel real. They are connectable and supportive of each other. There are twists and turns in this story that left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. Lauren falls through the ice in a stream only to have the person who saved her to lose his life. She has a hard time moving forward from this so she reaches out to his daughter. What happens after that you will have to read and you don’t want to miss what happens next, things may not seem as they really are. I highly recommend reading this book.

The story DIE FOR ME by Diane Hester is a thrilling psychological suspense book that I enjoyed reading. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It had me on the edge of my seat, turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the character of Lauren Donnelly. She is strong, independent, owns her own nursery, and whose life was saved by a stranger. She also feels guilty that she survived, and the stranger didn’t. This leads her to reach out to Ada Phelps, the survivor’s daughter. How far will Lauren take in repaying the debt of life? Is Ada all she appears to be? Read this book to find out. The story is wonderfully written, and I found myself feeling like I was right there in the story with the characters. I found my mind working overtime to try to uncover the motivations of those around Lauren. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters, many that are friends and work with Lauren at her nursery. I grew to care about Lauren and wanted her to succeed in all that she does. This book also does have a bit of romance. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I love suspense novels and this one is a good example of why. Highly recommended reading.

On a wintry New England morning an innocent short-cut turns to disaster when the snow-covered field Lauren Donnelly crosses turns out to be a not-so-solidly-frozen stream. A passing stranger comes to her aid, only to fall through the ice himself and succumb to the frigid waters.
Struggling to come to terms with the tragedy, Lauren reaches out to the man’s only daughter. But Ada Phelps is not the devoted, grief-stricken loved one she pretends. And making people pay for their crimes is the one thing she has always done best.
Diane Hester’s debut thriller, Run To Me, was shortlisted in the 2014 Daphne du Maurier Awards and made Goodreads Best Mystery Suspense Books of 2013. Born in New York, Diane came to Australia as a violinist with the Adelaide Symphony and now resides in Port Lincoln, South Australia.

So I will start off this review by saying that I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book. Once I started however it was hard to put it down. Sonya Jesus has this uncanny ability to really put you into the book and make you feel like you’re right there with the character as she winds down a path you don’t really see coming. It’s such an intense read that is a little messed up in the best possible way if that makes sense. I hate horror movies but this was a fascinating read!

Imposter An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) by Meghan O’Flynn 4 Stars!!!!
Once again I delve into the thriller and intrigue of detective Petrosky and once again I was not let down. The author has a unique writing style that is chilling from the beginning to the end. I don’t normally like psychological thrillers but I made an exception for this series and I must say that each book just gets better and better.
Petrosky is really haunted by his past and the demons that are in it, but that doesn’t stop him from getting to the bottom of the case. I found that this case really hit home to him as it was about children. I found that the author really brings the characters and the whole world she has created to life. I felt as though I was there as the thriller unfolded. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a well written book everyone should give a chance.
Dane has a horrific secret. Not only is he ashamed, he knows that exposing his secret comes with great risk. Unfortunately, he can’t keep his secret anymore and he may lose the very person he was protecting because of it.
I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this book but it was such a deep story. This book was very well written given the subject matter. It really shed light on the lack of resources for men who are victims of domestic violence. It’s really easy to forget that women aren’t the only victims and this book did a great job addressing such a difficult subject. I highly recommend this book!

Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) By Meghan O’Flynn 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) by Meghan O’Flynn. It is the next book in the amazing Ash Park series. It pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. In this book, Detective Petrosky is called to the home of a boy who, for all appearances, has committed suicide. What he finds is a family that is acting strangely. While everyone deals with death differently the detective can’t help but hear red flags going up in his head. Now the suicide has turned into a murder and it is up to the detective to uncover the clues as to why the boy was killed. The investigation will lead Petrosky down a path of other abductions. Will the killer be caught? Read this book to find out. This story had me reading far into the night as I just had to find out how it all ends up. Detective Petrosky is a character that is haunted by the past and at times he is at war with himself. He blames himself for his daughter’s murder and also fighting to hold on to his sanity. He is a character that I always root for as he follows his instincts to solve crimes. This book has twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. It has an atmosphere of suspense that seems very real. The author does an amazing job of making it feel like you are right there with the detective putting together the clues. Don’t miss out on this story. Highly recommended reading.

I have read every one of the books in this series, I loved each of them and this one is my favorite yet. This author has a way of writing a story that will pull you in right from the beginning and make you feel as if you are part of the story. This story is no different. Detective Petrosky is back with a suspenseful new investigation. He gets wrapped up in kidnapping and a sucide of a boy that he can’t let go of. What will happen when he finds out that there are a lot more kidnapped children? Will he catch this person before any more children are lost? The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat as well as turning pages fast. This is an awesome must read story that you won’t regret picking up. I highly recommend this book as well as reading this series from the beginning.

“Little Greggie” Boyle was the amazing reappearing child—a boy kidnapped and returned to his parents after five years in captivity. So what would make him take his own life? That’s the question hanging over Detective Petrosky’s head.
It seems straightforward: the teenager was found suspended from the rafters in the foyer of his parents’ home, a rope around his neck. No signs of struggle. No note, though that isn’t uncommon despite what Hollywood says—those movie nitwits don’t know real crime from their left elbows.
But something is wrong. The victim’s parents are stonewalling the police, and Gregory’s brother is cagey—even a little creepy. None of them seem interested in finding out what drove Gregory to kill himself. Or maybe they know something Petrosky doesn’t. Then forensic evidence turns the case on its head: the boy was drugged. The death wasn’t a suicide at all. Perhaps the kidnappers came back to make sure he stayed quiet…permanently.
As the investigation continues, a darker pattern of abductions begins to emerge. Gregory wasn’t the only child taken, and it appears the kidnapper is cleaning house—are any of the other victims still alive? One thing seems clear: Petrosky and his partner aren’t just hunting a killer; they’re looking for more bodies. If they don’t hurry, the man who murdered Gregory Boyle will rip other children from their families—kids who will never again come home.
And more dead children, especially on the anniversary of his daughter’s grisly murder, is more than Detective Petrosky can handle. He needs to catch the killer and ensure no more children fall prey to this maniac before he loses his own tenuous grasp on sanity.
Fiendishly clever, unique, and replete with twists and turns that keep readers glued to the pages, Imposter is a fast-paced crime thriller in the vein of Sidney Sheldon, Tana French, and Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk series.
With books deemed “visceral, haunting, and fully immersive” (New York Times bestseller, Andra Watkins) Meghan O’Flynn has made her mark on the thriller genre. She is the bestselling author of gritty crime novels, including Shadow’s Keep and the Ash Park series, supernatural thrillers including The Jilted, and the Fault Lines short story collection, all of which take readers on the dark, gripping, and unputdownable journey for which Meghan O’Flynn is notorious.

Out of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt 5 out of 5 Stars Dane Johnson, a man so broken by the secret he is holding that it is tearing him apart. Warning that this book may trigger some people who are sensitive to acts of violence, both mentally and on some base, physically, so If you are more tenderhearted than others, this book may be a bit much for you, so tread carefully. Having said all of that, this book is beautifully written from Dane’s point of view. While not wanting to give you too much of what happens, this story is so heartbreaking, so emotionally charged, and so devastating that you are both crying and cheering for Dane at the same time. I feel that I am a better person for reading this book. I highly recommend this book for lovers of all book genres.

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt was a super emotional read. Unlike anything I have leaped into before. My heart felt for Dane and Brady. It was a shock to read the situation from a man’s point of view, definitely something under represented. I was torn between stopping for emotional breaks and also just reading straight in one sitting.

OMG this story wrecked me emotionally. Dane is a 30 something year old man who is keeping a secret in hopes of protecting himself and his 13 year old son. One night changes everything and now everyone is going to know the secret he has been keeping, but that’s not even his biggest worry, he might lose his son. This story gripped me from the start. The author did an exceptional job writing this story and opening my eyes to a new perspective. This book touched my heart and in a way that I don’t have words to express. I am just going to say this is a 5 star read and I highly recommend this story.

Firstly if I could give this more stars I would! Wow, just Wow. “This is a journey into one man’s hell, with the hope that it will help others find the strength to be able to say, I need help”. Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a story about Dane Johnson and his teenage son Brady, they both share a secret and that is that they are both victims of domestic violence at the hands of Julie, Dane’s teenage sweetheart and Brady’s mother. Sederholt takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster as we are given a glimpse into Dane and Brady’s life. Told from their point of views it is so well written that I felt I was there with them, I felt what they were feeling. I was there as Brady cowers in his closet with his noise cancelling headphones on and when Dane has a glass or a mug thrown at him from across the room which only misses him because he has got so used to dodging flying objects that his wife has thrown. This novel is not only a great read but it also has such a powerful message about domestic violence in particular when the victim is the man in the relationship rather than the ‘normal’ scenario in books which focuses on the women as the victim. Everything that happens has such a ring of truth to it that I was overcome with emotions reading this gripping domestic drama. I won’t give away any spoilers but things do come to a dramatic head and Dane and Brady’s secrets have to come out. Along with a selection of other great characters all of whom have their own detailed backstory the plot moves along at a fast pace. With the help of Brady’s best friend Danni and guidance counsellor Abby who is battling her own demons as a victim of her husbands violence towards her in the past and lawyer Josh, father and son realise they are not alone and that for anything to change they need to ask for help. A clever twist near the end is how Sederholt suddenly gives us a chapter from Julie’s point of view and suddenly we see the situation not from victims Dane and Brady’s view point but from the women causing the violence. I literally could not put this book down, full of twists and turns it was an unpredictable read, the drama builds with each chapter and leads to a dramatic outcome. I feel the book is very sympathetically written by the author and that she has done her research into domestic violence. I hope this book does what the author obviously intended and that is not just to give us a brilliant novel to read but also to raise awareness of domestic violence in all forms. Information is given at the end of the book of organisations who can help those experiencing domestic violence and also alcohol addiction. I can not recommend this book highly enough.

Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt a fulfilling five-star read. Considering this is such a short read, my emotions feel like I have read a huge saga I can’t believe the author managed to fill so much emotional power in these few pages, it shows us what a talented author we have here. This is a powerful story about secrets, emotions and Dane. Get ready to read this story with tissues and something to comfort you, wine or chocolate and possibly an animal if you have one to hand to snuggle up to as they will help (and if you get desperate the are useful to wipe on). This will leave you with a great sense for other people and what they may face in life, it will open you up and leave you raw, but don’t despair as its so worth reading.

Out Of The Shadows was an emotional 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
My heart broke right from the beginning with what Dane was going through. Dane is in an abusive relationship and things take a tragic twist and Dane and his son Brady’s lives are turned upside down. Dane was trying to protect his son but now that their secret is out things have changed.
Will Dane get out of his situation before it’s too late?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. My emotions were all over the place. This is a story that had the abuse victim as the husband in the marriage and it really makes you think and realize that this is a reality for some. This author has done a great job of pulling you in with her writing. All of the secondary characters were great. I had a few ugly cry moments as well. I will warn that there may be triggers for some. If you’re looking for a great emotional read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

OH MY GOODNESS!! OH MY GOODNESS!! This story is one of the best stories I have read in a long time. Theresa Sederholt can build a world in her writings that I was catapulted into. Her character development is complex. Her plot line is engaging and I could not put the book down until I finished it. This story is about Dane. He has a secret that he does not want to come out of his closet, but that may be happening. He is on a fast lane to hell. Will Dane be able to climb his way out of hell? Can he remain strong? I highly recommend this book.

Out of the Shadows is the first book I have read by Theresa Sederholt, but it won’t be the last. This book needs a strong disclaimer/warning because it has some graphic descriptions of abuse. However, as long as you are not triggered by that, then you should read it! It is terrifying and heartbreaking to read, but at the same time I couldn’t put it down. The book is wonderfully written, alternating views as well as present time and past story. The book follows Dane Johnson in his fight to escape an abusive wife. He has dealt with it for years, and strives to protect their son from it, but it has reached a point that enough is enough. He fears the stigma attached to male victims and worries he won’t be believed or the story will be twisted against him. But sometimes all you need is one person to stand by you and help you through it. This is that story.

This is a story that everyone should read. I am a victim of domestic violence and I honestly never thought about it from the perspective of the male being the victim. This book really made me think about how that would look. Where would they go? Do they have the resources that are available to women? Who would believe them? And having children in that situation is a million times worse! I made it through this story unscathed…or so I thought. As soon as I read the last sentence and closed the book it all hit me. I balled like a baby! Getting to know Dane’s story deeply touched my soul.
This is a quick read that will not only make you think but will have you wanting to reach out and find ways to help. To see what your communities are lacking and what you can do about it. It will open your mind and touch your heart. Domestic violence and mental illness are more common than you know. This story touches on some very serious scenarios that are at times difficult to read about but it is well worth it to read every word. Grab this one up. You will be glad you did!

Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a book that will stay with you for a while. It rips you apart and leaves you laying in pieces. It will also give you hope. From the first book I picked up by this writer, I have gone back each time another of her books pops up on my radar. She has her way with words, the images she paints in your mind are powerful and they stay with you. She is not afraid to tackle sensitive subjects and when she does, she takes such care that you feel cared for. Out of the Shadows is another one of those subjects that are not so much talked about. She grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. You are there, with Brady and Dane, and you are confused first and once you realized what you have ‘walked into’, you are stuck … you cry, you laugh, you hope and you have a deeper understanding of what so many struggle with and what it takes to survive! I wish I could give more than 5 stars …

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt. This is a new to me author. WOW!!! What an emotional, amazing book. My heart absolutely broke for both Dane and Brady. The torture and torment that they both went through was absolutely devastating. While it took a lot for me to emotionally get through this book, I could not put it down…. I was engulfed in the story and I couldn’t get to the end fast enough.

Dane Johnson was like every other man in his thirties except for one very big secret. One that, for him, was so horrific, he was determined to keep it hidden. He thought it would never see the light of day—that is until today. His fragile world has crumbled around him. The past exposed for the world to see. Now the boy he tried so hard to keep safe might be gone forever.
This is a journey into one man’s hell, with the hope that it will help others find the strength to be able to say, “I need help.”
Theresa Sederholt was born and raised in Brooklyn New York. She is a graduate of Campbell University in North Carolina, with a degree in Criminal Justice. Theresa now resides in the mountains of North Carolina with her husband – a professional chef – and her two adorable dogs.
Experiencing life first-hand is what she does best. Believing she can do anything has put her in some crazy situations; babysitting a pig farm and cutting the top off a mini truck. Her list is A-to-Z and full of endless possibilities.
As a flight attendant (there’s that list again), she would make up stories about all of her passengers as they came and went. It seemed only natural to put pen-to-paper and see where these characters would take her.
A story that started as a single woman having a cup of coffee – while trying to make it through life – quickly grew into a complex world of romance, mystery, and murder. The Unraveled Trilogy was born.
This trilogy may have had humble beginnings, but in 2015 it gained prestigious recognition. Shattered Lies (book three in the trilogy) won Inks & Scratches Book Of The Year along with Cover Of The Year. BTS (Book Trailer Showcase) Book Reviews gave Shattered Lies The Red Carpet Book Award for Honorable Mention Rising Star Readers Choice. Theresa can humbly claim herself as an Award Winning Author.
Theresa’s beliefs are pretty simple:
There isn’t a luggage rack on the hearse.
Give a girl some Nutella and an espresso, then watch her change the world.
Theresa enjoys connecting with her fans. She can be reached through her website at:

He wanted everything. He could have my nothings too.
My whole life, I’ve been running, living just under the radar. The day I arrived on the East Coast, looking for a new start, I found an end instead. One careless night landed me in the hands of a dark mafia boss, who wanted nothing more than to render me a number—to eviscerate my identity with his brutal mind game.
327.
That’s what he called me. That’s all I was to him.
At least at first, before Breaker Beneventi told me all his family secrets, trickled his way into my heart, and then ordered my death. He set me free, knowing the butcher would find me.
Now, I’m the girl who escaped. The one with the power to destroy his organization. And he’s relentlessly searching for Lyla Vaughn all over the country, spilling the blood of innocents and losing his control.
But he’s not going to find me. Because that’s not my name.
From Bestselling author Sonya Jesus comes “Brutal and Raw” a psychological thriller romance full of plot twists, interwoven with dark mafia romance.
Sonya’s a nerd—a cool nerd—who loves science, books, make-up and unicorns. She even has unicorn slippers and unicorn plushes adorn her office. It’s not an obsession (or so she says), it’s simply an ode to her imaginative side. Storytelling has been her passion since her youth, but her family believes it’s more than that.
Painting, sketching, carpet-making, lyrics, poetry—artistic endeavors have no limit with Sonya. They may not always come out perfect, but art serves as an outlet, which helps balance out the factual, science-driven part of her brain.
Though she’s fun-loving, complex-minded, and heart-driven, her philosophy on life is quite simple: Shit happens. Keep going.
When asked to elaborate, she said, “Believing in yourself is probably one of the hardest things to do, but look in the mirror. You’re still standing. That’s strength. Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Sonya also believes in fairytales and in the beautiful things a mind can conjure. She’s a firm believer in empowering the crazy fictional ideas, putting them down on paper, and letting them flourish into a story.
“There’s so much potential in a dream… a thought… not exploring it seems like such a waste of something absolutely beautiful.”

This was the first book I read from this Author and it actually surprised me. I was skeptical at first but intrigued by the synopsis so I figured I would give it a shot and I’m so glad I did. This book kept me on my toes but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of adventure mixed up in their books of choice. 4 out of 5 stars

This book is jam-packed with action, mystery and intrigue as we follow our main character on a quest for vengeance. I enjoyed reading it from the beginning to the end. You’re enthralled with Tanuja and the way the author makes you delve deeper into the story of how she must protect her brother all while staying awake to make it happen. I recommend this book any day for the action alone. But to the mystery draws you into the backstory. This is most definitely a great read!
The Istanbul Conspiracy (Code Raven #7) by Lynda Filler
5 out of 5 stars
The Istanbul Conspiracy is the 7th book in the Code Raven series written by Lynda Filler and she did not disappoint me I think this was the best book in the series. The characters are well written with strong personalities and I love their quirks and the way they interact with each other.
Luke and Samaar of the Raven Group have their own wedding to attend but it’s called off at the last minute when they uncover a breach in their security. Instead of returning to Paris, they come to the aid of the Turk to get to the bottom of this horrific event. Highly anticipated photos of the wedding of DJ Turk and the daughter of the Minister of Defense which has taken place on a mega-yacht on the Bosphorus in Istanbul now show’s corpses lined up along the dock and a bride covered in blood. Was this a random act of terror, a targeted assassination of the Turkish political elite, or an attack on DJ Turk who leads a double life. With the conspiracy they uncover they must prevent it before the balance of power in the world is perilously reversed. I highly recommend this book/series and please read the series in order so you can understand the concept of the series…. Tracy
