We'll written, suspenseful, thrilling. Kept me guessing til the very end & shocked when I finished.. Will be recommending this one to others.

I was floored when I read 'Jar of Hearts' by Jennifer Hillier. I loved it and hence when I got my hands on 'Little Secrets' I was so excited! And for all good reason because I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well.

A mother driven to the edge by the disappearance of her son learns her husband is having an affair with the woman who might have kidnapped him.
Four hundred and eighty seconds. That’s how long it took for someone to steal Marin Machado's four-year-old son.
Marin had the perfect life. Married to her college sweetheart, she owns a chain of upscale hair salons, and Derek runs his own company. They're admired in their community and are a loving family. Up until the day Sebastian is taken.

That's all I'm going to say about the plot. This is one of my fastest read I’ve done lately because gripping page turner truly had me hooked from the beginning.

Jennifer Hillier is absolutely the queen of thrillers! Can't wait to read more of her!

Wowwww!!! What an amazing read! The story had so many twists and turns. You liked a character, then you hated them... You could feel their vulnerability, worry, anger. As a parent, it was difficult to think of my child being abducted,.. the emotions that Marin felt were heartbreaking yet completely relatable. I really enjoyed this book and would read more by this author!

I really enjoyed this book. I found it hard to put down because it was very suspenseful. From the moment it started, there were lots of twists and turns. From the beginning when Sebastian is taken from his mother, Little Secrets kept me on the edge of my seat. I have not read any of Jennifer Hillier’ books before, but I am looking forward to reading some of her other novels

LITTLE SECRETS REVIEW!
4.5 Mind-blowing Stars!

Okay, so it’s no secret that Jennifer Hillier’s JAR OF HEARTS is one of my all-time favourite reads. So, when my ARC request for LITTLE SECRETS was given the green light, I freaked out. For real. Thankfully, this book did not disappoint! I devoured it in a day and can’t stop thinking about it. This is definitely a slow burn thriller – I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop for ¾ of the story. But, I got to say, the twists in the last chunk were jaw dropping! I did NOT see it coming!

This is a book that is best to read “blind” so I don’t want to give much more away but I highly recommend adding LITTLE SECRETS to your TBR list!! Publish date April 2020.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my advanced review copy!

I seriously sat down to read this book and finished it in a day!! Jennifer Hillier is one of my favorite authors! I know when I pick up one of her books it’s going to be an amazing thriller! Jar Of Hearts is one of my favorite thrillers and now Little Secrets is right up there with it! How well do we really know the person we married? Marin has the perfect life she’s owns a Salon where celebrities go, She’s married to Derek, and they have an amazing son named Sebastian everything is perfect. The Saturday before Christmas while shopping, Sebastian let’s go of Marins hands while she’s on the phone and he’s gone! Fast forward 16months Sebastian is still missing and after a failed suicide attempt Marin and Derek’s marriage is deteriorating. Marin hires a private investigator after the police have failed at finding any clues and it’s discovered Derek is having an affair with a much younger woman named Makenzie. Marin has already lost her son and she refuses to lose her husband in the process. While talking with her old college friend/ ex boyfriend Sal she discovers she can hire a “fixer” to get rid of the lying tramp whose sleeping with her husband. What happens next will take you on a wild twisted road of lies and secrets. This book will have you questioning everyone’s motive and leave you wondering whose lying and whose telling the truth and who has the most to lose?

Best book I’ve read in years. I could t put it down it was so well written, fast paced and surprising.

I was absolutely hooked from page 1. A parent's worst nightmare befalls Marin and now she has to figure out how she can keep going. A year goes by with no sign of her son and as her marriage is falling apart she's struck by another blow.

This is the perfect scenario for a great suspense thriller. Little bits and pieces are revealed at the right time that keep you on the edge of your seat, reading well into the night. Each twist was a new path that lead to the truth which I would have never guessed. Amazing! I recommend this to anyone who loves the perfect edge of your seat thriller.

Excellent emotional novel. I am not sure how to describe this book, as it covers an array of issues including the disappearance of a beloved child, mental illness, and infidelity. As a fan of Ms. Hillier's previous books, I was thrilled to get a copy of Little Secrets. This book did not disappoint. I went through the whole range of emotions during the reading of this book. I was heartbroken, angry, and totally emotional during this roller coaster of a ride. When Marin loses sight of her 5 year old son at a busy market her world is never the same. I was totally engrossed in this book until the end. Best book I have read in years, highly recommend!

I always end up reading Jennifer Hillier books in one day. And “Little Secrets” was no exception.

The psychological thriller begins with the kidnapping of Marin and Derek’s 4 year old son from a shopping mall and picks up a year and half later while the couple are dealing with the effects of that. I really don’t want to say more than that because half the fun is the crazy twists and turns the book takes.

There are too many characters and some implausible plot twists, this book is fun and hard to put down.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

3.5 stars

Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier is a taut, spellbinding thriller that will have you flipping the pages faster and faster. The tension starts immediately, and the author just ratchets up the suspense with each chapter. It would be a shame if this book flies under the radar, it’s that good! Fast paced, full of twists you’ll never see coming. A definite and resounding 5 stars. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through @NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fantastic read! This is the first book by this author that I have read but it will definitely not be the last! This book has a shocking start and just takes off from there. I couldn't out it down. I would highly recommend!

My question is - why is this the first book I am reading by this author? This taut, dark, story begins with the kidnapping of four year old Sebastian, the son of Marin and Derek. They are each successful businesspeople, living the good life in Seattle. The author is a really good observer of people and places, which made for a compelling story.

This book was great and I went in blind not knowing much about it, just that it had rave reviews already. Everyone said the same thing, couldn't put it down, don't want to give anything away. I agree, best not to know the plot going in but will say it was a page turner that was definitely worth reading.

Marin's life changes in an instant. One minute her son is standing beside her, the next he's gone. A year later Marin is still struggling and her marriage is on the edge. When the PI discovers her husbands affair, Marin does something to "fix" her current situation. Along the way, Marin discovers people aren't who she thought they were and her world is turned upside down again.

Good storyline and nice plot twist. There were a few things I questioned but overall it was a good read!

If you loved Jar Of Hearts, you'll love this one! Jennifer Hillier knocks it out of the park again! This book has it all: Betrayal, lie and secrets galore! Hillier is definitely a must-read author.

Little Secrets is a darkly entertaining read that will keep you up long into the night! Once again, Jennifer Hillier has written a page turner, one that will have ANY reader flipping the pages from beginning to end in one sitting. This books hard to put down, intriguing, and filled with some of the best twists and turns around! Jennifer Hillier is a fantastic author and I think all fans of mystery and thrillers should read one or more of her books in their lifetime (preferably more, you won't be able to stop!).

Actual Rating: 4.5 stars
Full review to be posted on my blog and retail sites on release day!

This was a quite enjoyable read. Although as the story went on, who the ‘villain’ was became predictable. However, there were enough twists and turns to totally maintain the reader’s interest. Anyone wanting to read a fun mystery/suspense story, this is the book to read.

Oh my goodness! What an emotional read. As the mother of a 3 ear old boy and a 5 year old boy, the thought of them not being with me.....it's almost paralyzing. Although that was central tp the plot, obviously, there was so many other things going on- rich husband's behaving badly, sketchy bar owners, a pink haired mistress, etc, that are all wound up together in one crazy, convoluted story. I literally could not put this book down, and will keep my eye open for future books by Jennnifer Hillier in the future.... and although I don't want to spoil anything, let me add the ending was perfect, and I cried....happy tears, this time though.

Wow. What a roller coaster of a ride. This book had so many twists and turns.
Marin and Dereks 4 year old find is kidnapped. We follow them the next sixteen months through therapy, grieving, depression, support groups and her husbands affair.
This book was written so beautifully and I loved it !
A twisty turn at every chapter
