It's One of Us by J.T. Ellison

-

The happiest of pub days to J.T. Ellison on her newest thriller, It’s One of Us. I am a huge fan of J.T. Ellison’s work. She writes stories that you won’t want to put down. When her publisher offered this book for tour, I didn’t hesitate because I knew I would love the book. I was not wrong.

About the Book:

Everybody lies. Even the ones you think you know best of all . . .

Olivia Bender designs exquisite home interiors that satisfy the most demanding clients. But her own deepest desire can’t be fulfilled by marble counters or the perfect rug. She desperately wants to be a mother. Fertility treatments and IVF keep failing. And just when she feels she’s at her lowest point, the police deliver shocking news to Olivia and her husband, Park.

DNA results show that the prime suspect in a murder investigation is Park’s son. Olivia is relieved, knowing this is a mistake. Despite their desire, the Benders don’t have any children. Then comes the confession. Many years ago, Park donated sperm to a clinic. He has no idea how many times it was sold—or how many children he has sired.

As the murder investigation goes deeper, more terrible truths come to light. With every revelation, Olivia must face the unthinkable. The man she married has fathered a killer. But can she hold that against him when she keeps such dark secrets of her own?

This twisting, emotionally layered thriller explores the lies we tell to keep a marriage together--or break each other apart . . .

 

Review:

Olivia and her husband Park, have struggled with infertility. When the police show up at their house one day with the news that Park’s son is a suspect in a murder, they are both shocked. Secrets are to be uncovered and no one will be the same.

The story is told from multiple POV with the perspectives from The Wife, The Husband for example. It adds something to the story because it not only gives you and idea of their place but also mystery about some characters. I enjoyed the many stories woven into the book. It also has a very real element to it that makes you think what you would do if you were in a similar position. A great read!

About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle.
