💬 If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you choose to go? . I’ve always wanted to go to an island where the sand is soft and clean, and I can see my feet through the ocean water. I’d probably pick Turks and Caicos or Bora Bora if I had my pick of anywhere. I’d also love to visit Hawaii some day. . Thank you to @tlcbooktours and @_mira_books_ for gifting me this copy of Her Dark Lies by @thrillerchick! Is this one on your radar yet? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Fast-paced and brilliantly unpredictable, J.T. Ellison’s breathtaking new novel invites you to a wedding none will forget—and some won’t survive.

From the moment Claire sets foot on the island, something seems amiss. Skeletal remains have just been found. There are other, newer disturbances, too. Menacing texts. A ruined wedding dress.

Happy Pub Day to @thrillerchick! I am so excited to be reading this one with #emilybookedupbookclub! Thank you to @_mira_books_ for the gifted copy! QOTD: What's your comfort read? Thrillers are my guilty pleasure and I'm screaming on the inside about It's One of Us. I'm always excited to read a new thriller and J.T. Ellison is a favorite author in this genre. Her stories keep you glued to the pages and racing to get to the end. The premise of this one is unique for a thriller and it's bound to take you through all the emotions. The main topic is an emotional one. I love when authors tackle heavy themes in thriller books. If you haven't read a J.T. Ellison book yet, then run and go grab this one. 🧱SYNOPSIS🧱 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 . . . #ItsOneofUs #JTEllison #bookclub #bookstagram #thrillers #infertility #tbr #emilybookedupbookclub #book #reading #books #bookstagrammer #igreads #bookphotos #bookworm #fiction #literature #marriage #secret #bookmail #booksbooksbooks #read #readersofinstagram #thrillergram https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOezWcLBxr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“We all want to be remembered for something. We have children, we paint, we write, we fight, we conquer. We leave behind marks on the fabric of humanity, and while some are content to stay in the background, some of us want to make those marks as vivid and overwhelming as possible. We don't just want to be remembered. We want to be unforgettable.” - #JTEllison #HerDarkLies #AlexandriaEgypt #Alexandria #Egypt #AlexandriaPhotography #AlexandriaPhotographer #BreakfastTime #MysteryNovel #ThrillerNovel #WeekendAtHome #Morning #Breakfast #IcedCoffee #StarbucksCoffee #StarbucksMochaFrappuccino #Coffee #CurrentlyReading #Mugaholic #Bookstagram #Book #Reading #Goodreads #Morning #Sunshine #Home #Bookaholic #kindle #TheLittleThings #Longing #BlueHeart (at Alexandria, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdVk77ks__r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Her Dark Lies Review- 4 stars . It's been a hot minute since I've read a @thrillerchick book and this book reminded me as to why I loved her in the first place. If you're looking for a mystery/thriller you can't go wrong with her. . Claire Hunter is ready to marry the love of her life, Jack Compton. He comes from a powerful and wealthy family so she knows life won't be the same. For instance, their wedding is taking place in a beautiful family owned villa off the Italian coast. But Claire doesn't want him for his money and has zero problems signing the prenup that comes with marrying someone like Jack. And Jack loves her. . With all that love between them doesn't mean that Claire doesn't have a past or secrets in that past and the same goes for Jack. And it seems that someone or something on the island wants all the secrets out in the open and to show that not all things buried stay that way. . #BookReview #HerDarkLies #JTEllison #HarperCollins #ScaredSuspenseBookClub .
