This was a great story packed with twist and surprises.

Lauren loves running and one winters day she runs unaware onto a frozen lake. The ice cracks and she falls in. Screaming for help, an old man named Roger hears her and comes to her aid. But in saving her he falls in to the lake himself and dies.

Lauren is devastated that he died saving her and does everything she can to make amends with Roger daughter Ada. From paying for the funeral to offering Ada a job.

But things arent what they seem and when things start happening and people Lauren loves start to get hurt no one has the first idea that the person they should be wary of is the one that no one suspects.

Die For Me by Diane Hester is quite a well woven, multilayered psychological suspense. The gripping nature of the story kept me avidly reading well past my bedtime, as I really needed to know how everything would end.
Out for a jog on a cold winter’s evening, Lauren could never have predicted the cost her short-cut would incur. Guilt drives her to try and make amends. But things soon take a strange and sinister turn. There is more going on than meets the eye- and the psychological creepiness of the story takes hold.
This is my first read by Diane Hester, so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from her story. But I do love a gripping story and because the blurb had me so intrigued I quickly pounced on a copy and started reading right away. Diane Hester has proved to be a clever storyteller, producing a well written, detailed and descriptive read. There are several threads to the story which gives her work an extra element of surprise. Things are not what they appear, and my mind was whirling with all the possible scenarios. I though the way everything came together was well thought out- and gave me a taste for Diane Hester’s stories, so I will definitely be going back to read the rest of her books now, too.

Thank you, Diane Hester!

Die For Me by Diane Hester is a brilliant psychological and suspenseful thriller that I’d sure to have you rushing through the pages.
From the moment I read the blurb if this book I was intrigued. I had to know what was going on immediately. The book held up to the expectations I had too. There was clearly so much more going on than you would initially expect.
The book was full of twists and turns; the author really knows how to keep you on your toes – and the edge of your seat! It is an edgy story with some compelling characters. I would highly recommend trying this book!

This psychological suspense book packs a punch. I love the psychological thriller genre. It gives me that deep thinking that makes my brain wanting more. Diane Hester is a new author to me but trust me when I said I am going to see what other books she has written. Her characters are complex, complicated, believable and mysterious. I read this book in one sitting but let me tell you that I left the light on while reading the book. This author kept me turning the pages faster and faster. I wanted to know what was going to happen next. What really makes this story excel for me is the realism. I can see this story come to life before my eyes. Lauren Donnelly on a winter morning was crossing a stream that was not frozen. That is when a man tried to assist her and fell through the ice. Lauren is trying to reach out to Ada Phelps, the daughter of the man who drowned, but things are not always what they seem. I highly recommend this book as it will give you the heebie-jebbies, what a great psychological suspense book will do in my humble opinion.

This was a great little book. I nearly passed this book over but I’m telling you I am so glad I read Die For Me by Diane Hester. There are two or three stories going on in this book and they are all very skillfully woven together. Tragedy, bitterness, forgiveness, love, all the things that make a story great. As I was reading the story I got all the warm fuzzies and I was thinking oh what a sweet, sweet story because it is. The author pulls you along and lulls you into this wonderful story until she gets you firmly locked into the roller coaster. At that point you can hang it up you’re not doing anything else, no dishes will get done, the bed won’t get made and the laundry won’t get caught up. It was a page-turner for sure a really wild ride. I think I will be reading Diane Hester again.

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.

DIE FOR ME
By Diane Hester
5 out of 5 stars

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.
