The Stepson by Diane Saxon

-
Diane Saxon is back with another great thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat! Welcome to my stop on Rachel's Random Resources tour for The Stepson.


About the Book:

When your whole life becomes one big lie…

The night my mum disappeared, after a panicked 3am phone call, I knew something was wrong.

The police tried to reassure me. There had to be a logical explanation they said – perhaps she’s taking a break after the tragic death of my father.

But I know my mum.

Or do I?

She would never leave without telling me.

Or would she?

The harder I look, the more I discover deep, dark family secrets I was not privy to.

Worrying secrets I was never meant to know.

Which means my parents have lied to me my whole life.

But why?

Who can I turn to? Trust?

Were they scared of something in their past?

Or were they trying to protect me?

Has mum gone on her own free will?

Or has someone taken her?

 

Review:

 Wow! The Stepson is an amazing book! Told in present and past timelines and multiple POV you get to see a lot in this book! Is Trevor, the stepson, a good character or is he evil? You don’t really know as the author has you leaning one way then the other. I love the fast paced story. I’ve read other of Diane Saxon’s books and love her writing style. It gets you lost in the book so much that you feel as if you are in the story. Once I picked up this book I didn’t want to put it down!


About the Author:

Diane Saxon previously wrote romantic fiction for the US market but has now turned to writing psychological crime. Find Her Alive was her first novel in this genre and introduced series character DS Jenna Morgan. She is married to a retired policeman and lives in Shropshire.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. 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.
