It’s time for my stop for MY SISTER IS MISSING blog tour!

My Sister Is Missing by Julia Barrett is a nail-biting, mind-boggling, and thrilling novel. Ms. Barrett takes her readers on an emotional roller-coaster from page one to the end of the book. This is the story of two sisters, Jess and Steph. Steph has gone missing with her three weeks old baby girl. Steph had a traumatic event in her youth which plummeted her into a deep depression and almost cost her life. In the past few weeks, she has been very emotional and demonstrated signs of post-natal depression. Finding her is a top priority. Jess and Steph’s husband Adam are trying to figure out what might have happened and where Steph has gone. Everyone has secrets, some bigger than others. Secrets eat at you slowly until there is nothing left to keep them hidden anymore. Once they are out, they can be dangerous. They can even make you do things you never thought you were capable to do.

This debut novel is a mind-boggling read. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. My Sister is Missing by Julia Barrett is now available at your favourite bookstore.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Thank you RedDoor Books for including me in this blog tour and for sending me an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
I'm not the wife you think I am.

Just weeks after giving birth, new mum Stephanie Henderson and her baby girl disappear.

With husband Adam in despair, and the police investigation stalled, it's up to her sister Jess to find them. But when Adam starts to behave suspiciously, Jess starts to question what really happened.

Following news of a tragic accident, she suspects the worst and, in turmoil, goes in search of answers. But Jess isn't prepared for what she uncovers . . . or for what happens next.

This is a twisted psychological thriller that will make you question what is real, and whether you really can trust those you love.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note  by  Emma Grey My rating:  3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Every Note Played by Lisa Genova My rating: 5 of 5 stars I want to thank NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for granting me an advanced copy of the Every Note Played book by Lisa Genova. Lisa Genova, author of "Still Alice" and "Inside the O'Briens", delivers yet another masterpiece.

Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS loses the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. At 45, Richard is diagnosed with ALS. His career is over and he has no one to turn to for help. Karina, his ex-wife, driven by guilt, becomes his reluctant caretaker.
