This is book one in the Lottery series. Mujagic did a wonderful job in crafting the scenery in the novel. Who wouldn’t want to win millions on the lottery? It could be the ticket to freedom. I could see the setting in my mind’s eye as I read the story. The characters are well crafted and draw you into the plot. The stakes increase and leave you questioning the safety of all involved. I’ve read other books by this author and this one doesn’t disappoint. There are plenty of twists and turns among the way and the end was not what I thought! Highly recommend thriller!

Dead Keen is book two in the Things Unseen series. This novel does well as a stand alone. The suspense is cleverly written and the reader is pulled into a tangled web. Nothing is as it seems and you’re on a roller coaster ride into a psychological thriller that keeps you turning pages until the end! Bring on book three!

I was hooked from the very first paragraph. Each chapter is a different place and time in the novel. The damaged, complex characters with secrets keep you turning the pages. This psychological thriller makes me wonder how Sloan will piece her life back together from the betrayal, murder, kidnapping, and lies. This wonderful novel digs into family dynamics, loyalty, and forgiveness. I have read other work by this author and she has quickly become a favorite!

Undoubtedly, Shore Lodge by Susan Specht Oram is one of the greatest Psychological Thriller novels I have read in a very long time. I was overwhelmed with intense feelings – my heart racing, my body tense, waiting to see what would happen next. The protagonist, Jacklyn Stone, tragically loses her husband and finds that he has left her with a mountain of debt, unable to liquidate their business. Her children then take her to a retreat that poses a great threat to her, leaving Jacklyn with the task of tapping into her inner courage to retake her life and go home. Filled with gripping twists and turns, this thriller will have readers contemplating how they would fare in such a similar predicament.

Written in first person point of view with each chapter from a different character. This helps add depth and strength to the story. Nothing is as it was with Jacklyn. This psychological thriller had me guessing what was real and what wasn’t. The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat. I couldn’t put the book down! I love stories that are set in my home of the Pacific Northwest!

Riveting drama unfolds at the beginning of this story and keeps you drawn in scene by scene. I was hooked from the first chapter into this twisted and dark story about Troy.

I was pulled into this book right from the start. The narrator, Catherine, is English and talking to her dead daughter as though she can hear her mother. Catherine searches for the truth about her daughter Susie’s death a year prior. This book has a unique structure to let the reader view different scenarios to explain Susie’s tragic death. The reader needs to ask whether each scenario likely would have happened and question what really is the truth about that night. Collins skillfully written prose, will have you on the edge of your seat asking the same questions Catherine does and the ending takes you by surprise!

When I started this book, I didn’t realize it was book 2 of a series when i started reading it, but that’s okay because I don’t feel like I missed anything. I definitely plan to go back to read book 1 though. I really enjoyed this thriller; it was well written and kept me hooked the entire time. I read this in a day. Great work from the author, I can’t wait to see what else comes next.

Gripping This is a story that has many layers and interwoven pieces. Drawn in from the start this book is the second in the A Legacy of Silence trilogy. Fast paced, the tension builds and builds, all the while taking the reader on a journey filled with drama, family dilemmas and heartbreaking tragedies. There is still more to uncover – so bring on book 3.

This topic hits close to home for me. The story does an amazing job when it comes to the genuine struggle with trauma. Kate and Tilly have been through so much, and yet, they still do what they can to help other people despite everything. I look forward to the next one.

Synopsis: As a high school psychologist, Kate has been through an awful lot in her time. When Kate purchases a new home in the desert with the idea of turning it into a safe haven for abused women she takes on way more than she anticipated. Tilly, Kate’s sister, a SANE nurse has also had her fair share of awful events within her lifetime. The two sisters are attempting to repair their relationship following a year of not speaking to one another. Will the two of them repair their relationship, put their own tragedies aside, and focus on saving women from rapists?
Reader’s Thoughts: Stumble & Fall is the second installment in the Legacy of Silence series. Although I did not read the first novel in this series, I was able to follow along with the storyline fairly well. I may have missed some minor background information but didn’t feel that it took away from the storyline in any way. I plan to go back and read the first novel. This psychological thriller had me sitting on the edge of my seat, heart racing, while quickly flipping pages for more. The tragic events that Kate and Tilly endured during their lifetime broke my heart. Their strong will and desire to do everything in their power to help these victims made my heart full. As a nurse, I could 100% relate with their instinct to put their own needs aside and care for others. I love that the characters within this novel are flawed, full of fear and self-doubt, but show us readers how to fight for what is right. There were many tough social topics discussed in this novel. Rivers thought these topics out thoroughly and did an amazing job accurately executing these topics into the storyline making every part believable.

Stumble and Fall follows sisters Kate and Tilly both putting their lives together in New Mexico. Kate is renovating her home and starting a counseling practice. Tilly moves back to New Mexico to be closer to her sister. Tragedy hits while trying to uncover answers and leaves both sisters with fear and self-doubt. I did not read the first book but was able to navigate through the novel without feeling like I missed anything. It was a very well written thriller and I will probably go back and read the first!

I thoroughly enjoyed this page turner of a novel, which had me hooked from page one. As a sequel to the first book in the series I would personally recommend reading book one first. Having lost her father, Kate is now working on renovating her desert home and working in her psychological counselling practice. Working from the inside means she can also find out who she can trust, but by searching for answers it puts her in danger. Her sister Tilly has moved back to New Mexico, and when a family tragedy occurs it causes Tilly to go into a cycle of self-sabotage, which nearly gets her killed. Both Kate and Tilly struggle with fear and self-doubt in this sequel, and the lives of the victims they are helping also hang in the balance. However, Kate’s determination to save them may actually put more young women in danger, and Tilly may not survive her reckless pursuit for justice. A fast paced and gripping novel which I couldn’t put down. The characters were so well defined I felt like I knew them, making me feel engaged with them and immersed in the storyline.

I didn’t realize this was book two in a series until after I started it but it did not hinder the experience within the book. It is a continuation of Kate and Tilly and their life working with abused and sexually assaulted victims. I enjoyed the book but at times felt it was a lot of fluff without anything being resolved. However, I did enjoy the read and will go and read book one. The was good character development amongst Kate and Tilly and I enjkyed watching them grow. At the end, I found myself wanting more and needed mysteries to be resolved but I suppose there could be a book three, at least I hope so.

I don’t know where to start with this book. The suspense, the drama, the characters, the family dynamics all are fantastic. Add in the brutal subject matter, the powerful tension of this book rockets up.
Kate and Tilly are sisters that grew up in a small New Mexican town with an evil overcast. Powerful men in the city have been trafficking the young girls for years. Kate discovered this when a student of hers at the local high school was murdered. The revelation led to many more, including Tilly’s history with the trafficking ring. Now, after the ring was exposed and Kate and her boyfriend were nearly killed to keep what they knew quiet, Kate and Tilly are attempting to rebuild their lives and their relationship.
Kate has opened her own therapy practice. Tilly and her boyfriend have moved closer. Tilly is starting a new job. Steven is off achieving a dream. Things are settled and seem to be moving towards domestic bliss. But it is never that easy. Tragedy strikes for Tilly. Kate makes some startling revelations regarding her parents. The twist, the questions all leading to more.
I jumped in this series here. I was blown away. Take my advice, it doesn’t matter where you start this series, just start it. I don’t know how much more these sisters can take but I hope they get the justice they deserve in the end. Ruth must go down!!! I will be going back and picking up the first one! I am hooked until the end! You will be, too!!!

SUCH A GOOD STORY! Let me just start with that. This is the second book in the Legacy of Silence. But I have not read the first book (yet, going to order it right now!) and it read perfectly fine. You may be missing just a little bit of background information regarding Tilly and Kate, but nothing that can’t be figured out through context clues. This story is heavy, dealing with rape and sex trafficking. It may be triggering to some so a warning might be appreciated. Tilly and Kate are sisters. They have lived very traumatic and tumultuous lives. However they have not taken this as a hardship they cannot overcome. Rather, it is something that they apply to help others. Kate is a psychologist whose whole practice is helping young people in need. She discovers a potential human trafficking ring that involves the people in power in her town. Tilly is a nurse who has helped one too many women after an attack. Together they work to solve this case. As hard as the topic is. I love the way that this story handled it. Tilly and Kate are great examples of overcoming adversity. I love the bond they have as sisters and how they are willing to help others in need. I think Tilly and Kate are greatly developed characters who I was rooting for. I definitely cannot wait to read more about the two of them as the series continues!

A bit of a slow start for me, and I wish I had known more of the back stories of Kate and Tilly. Kate is a psychologist who opens her own practice to try and help teens in her home town, she suspects a human trafficking ring involving city officials and businessmen. Tilly is a nurse who works with victims of sexual assault to collect evidence against their attackers. Kate and Tilly are sisters and each have a past that personally links them to their work and drives them to help those in similar situations. Each are uncovering evidence that can put someone behind bars for life, and each are putting themselves directly in harms way to protect those like them. A very touching story that shows that your past should not prevent you from becoming who you want to be and helping others.

Just wow. This series continues to draw me in. The author does a wonderful job crafting together this crime thriller and creating a believable world. She deals with extremely difficult subject matter in a very real way (TW sexual assault).
While this can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the first book as it sets the stage and helps with the continued character development in the second book. We get the opportunity to know Tilly better through this story with the book alternating between her and Kate’s points of view. We also get to see Kate continue to both grow and struggle with her new world as a result of everything she learned and experienced in the first book.
The author has an extremely engaging writing style. I finished each book in just a couple of days. I also appreciate the realness and believability of the story. The author doesn’t force happy endings or tie things up neatly, but rather let’s the reader and the characters sit in the emotionality and traumas experienced by these characters. The author also does a wonderful job using multiple character’ experiences and giving the reader a true picture of how sexual assault can affect survivors. The author is clearly well researched on the subject matter.
I’m looking forward to the 3rd book to see how this story continues to develop and conclude.

This book was just insane! I was ensnared, and there is just no better way to even describe it. It was a rollercoaster ride for me that I was more than happy to be on! Kate and Tilly were well thought out characters and they seriously just made the book! READ THE FIRST BOOK. I don’t think I necessarily missed anything but I guess I will find out because I will definitely be going back to read the first one! It was so thrilling of a read that there were moments my palms were sweaty, and my heart was pounding in my chest! This is a series I will have to see through to the end!!

If you are looking for a gritty, suspenseful, psychological thriller that pulls you in then pick this one up.
Stumble and Fall by Amy Rivers is the follow up novel to Complicit. I did not read the first novel in the Legacy of Silence series but I was easily able to pick up the story due to the great characterization by the author. Kate and Tilly are well written, flawed and fully realized characters that will keep you interested.
I am very interested to see where else this series will take me and look forward to experiencing more about these characters and the hardships they face.
Go into this book knowing that the topics may be hard to read but are handled well by the author.

Stumble and Fall by Amy Rivers is a fast-past thriller. Kate and Tilly are sisters who find themselves in danger after a family tragedy strikes. This is a very well-written book. I really loved both Kate and Tilly. These two young ladies have been through a lot and risk everything to prevent others from doing the same. The story is a very satisfying thriller that leads you on a fun, suspenseful ride. While it is a quick read, this book is very intense. If you love thrillers with solid characters, you will enjoy this book.

I was drawn into Stumble and Fall from the cover art. This book warrents a strong trigger warning. The entire book focuses around sexual assault and rape. It was very intense and had me hooked from start to finish. I have not read the first book, so I may be missing some background information, but I still enjoyed the book independently. The beginning had me a little thrown off, trying to determine how all the characters were connected, but it came together mid book. The chapters alternate focus on two sisters- Tilly and Kate. They have similar jobs, both focused on helping those in need and taking down rapists. They have suffered massive tragedy in life but are strong and powerful women. I am not happy with the ending- Tilly’s ending was too abrupt in the epilogue. Kate’s story is left hanging, with a lot left to resolve. There better be a sequel to wrap up her case! Highly recommend this book to those who love crime thrillers and mystery drama, but be cautioned of the content.

When I started reading this book I didn’t realise it was the second in the series. However, although I can see where the benefit would be in reading this series in order this book definitely stands up on its own. This is a much more emotional and in depth story than I was expecting. It covers some very intense and heart breaking topics but the author handles these effortlessly. I was pulled into this book and the characters. They had such gripping storylines and I could see the development throughout the book. The first thing I will be doing is to go back and read the first book in this series.

This is the 2nd book so I don’t know if I would have learned more or liked the book more if I had read the first one. However, this seemed to be standalone so It was a completed book I felt. I loved the plot and the summary of the book. That was what drew me in. It teased suspense and drama and a torrid past. However, when diving into the book I was disappointed and not as “wowed” as I would have liked to have been. There are some taboo subjects that talk of rape, sex trafficking, and trauma caused by it. Kate is intriguing and brings the story together. It picked up the pace and continued to keep me interested enough to finish it and read it. T Overall I would recommend this for a thriller and an interesting book.
