This book had my emotions twisted into a ball. I had never felt such anger with a mother character as I did with Erika, and the way she always thought of her son Liam. Fast read. Plot twist with a complete WTH. Great surprise ending.

The story started out good, then quickly went down hill. A lot of things did not make sense. The ending was horrible.

Wow! "Please Tell Me" I started this book last night. Could not put it down. Finished it at 3 am today. The story it self was emotional, however the  twists hit hard. Amazing book, 5 star for sure. This is now my favorite Thriller.

I was selected to read and review “Her Fathers Secret” by NetGalley. New author for me. I really liked this book. For me it was a slow read. Full of plots and twist that kept you on edge. Great characters. Definitely a must read thriller. 

I made this review of my own free will.
