This is the second book by Roz Nay that I have read and I devoured this one just like the first one. Hurry Home is a great fast-paced book that tells the story of the struggle that happens between siblings. Alex has grown up and moved on from her past and Ruth still manages to find her in her time of need. This book takes place in the present going back and forth between the two sisters point of view but has flash backs from the past to help shape the story. You learn why the sisters went the paths they did growing up and as adults. This was a very quick read for me and it didn't lag at all. I loved the entire story and was intrigued by the mystery of what was happening. People aren't always as they seem and their intentions aren't always what you think. I really liked the ending and I didn't see it coming! I would highly recommend this book to everyone and I will be looking for Roz Nay's other works. Special thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for the advanced digital copy of Hurry Home in exchange for my honest opinion. #HurryHome #NetGalley

Holy Shirts!!! Omg!!! This book was every freaking thing. I was totally invested in this story. Soon as I was rooting for one character boom, things change an I’m caught up in the web of lies and deceit of another character. This story was amazing and very well written. I’m ready to read more from this author!!

I was pleasantly surprised at how much enjoyed this book. The story starts off and you meet Alex. She seems to have her life together but is haunted by the past. Enter her sister Ruth who she hasn’t seen in years. As you begin to form your own opinions, you realize that nothing and no one is who they seem. This story has suspense and deception factor. The characters were well written. All in all, this was a great read! I give this 4 stars.

Once I started reading this book, I was unable to put it down! What a fantastic read that kept me hooked until the very end. With twists and turns and suspense around every corner, this alternating chapter delves into the lives of Alex and Ruth, two sisters that have a lot of secrets between them. A great read for anyone who loves a suspenseful and thrilling book!

I loved this novel and read it in just a handful of hours. It is a unique style of thriller that I haven’t experienced often. The plot was extremely well thought out and the characters were well rounded and made sense. I am really impressed by everything this book offered. I will most definitely be reading Nay’s previous novel. I’m really excited to see what this author writes in the future.

I’ll be honest...I wanted to stop reading after about a quarter in because I didn’t like Alex. At all.

But I’m so glad I kept reading, and a large part of it was because I liked Ruth so much. This book turned out to be utterly hard to put down and it’s a credit to author Roz Nay that she could draw such strong feelings out of me with just one character. I raced to the end to see how this would turn out and now I’m on the search for her debut. She crafts a very well paced and well written thriller here.

Thanks to Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for this review copy. I definitely recommend it.

4.5 stars!

I just finished this book and I have to say that I really enjoyed it! I finished it in a day or so, I couldn't put it down. Hurry Home is dark and gritty and full of twists you won't see coming.

Alex lives a perfect life with her boyfriend Chase, and she works in child protection. Chase knows nothing about Alex's past as she keeps it tightly under wraps, that is until Ruth, Alex's long lost older sister, shows up at their door unexpectedly...

With alternating chapters between Ruth and Alex, the reader gets an inside view of their troubled past and both women are forced to confront the secrets that they hoped would stay buried. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves dark and gritty thrillers!

Living in the Rocky Mountains with her boyfriend, Alex devotes herself to her job in child protection. Her life is a good one, until the day her estranged sister Ruth turns up. When they were children Ruth was always dragging her sister into situations that spelled trouble and nothing has changed. She agrees to help Ruth on the condition that their past remain a secret, but a missing child changes all that. Nay writes earthy, believable characters and plots laden with tension

This thriller is pacy, but was a bit too predictable for my liking. All of the twists seemed too strongly foreshadowed, nothing surprised me.
It was a quick read that had a good pace and most of the characters were well-drawn, but Sully was baffling to me - I have no sense of who he was, yet he became too important to be so ill-defined.
Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC copy.

The main character lives a nice life in a resort in the Rocky Mountains. There she lives in peace and is happy with her life. Then he shows up after a long silence between them. Still there are secrets and a lot unspoken between them and no one really nows who speaks the truth. The story is very nice written. The plot is captivating and full of tension. The characters are different and interesting. A nice story.

Alexandra Van Ness has an idyllic life. Living in a beautiful resort in the Rocky Mountains, she is happy and content. When Alex's sister Ruth shows up unexpectedly, the sisters reunite after almost a decade of not speaking, and secrets are spilled. Who's telling the truth, Alex or Ruth? And who has more to hide?

I was incredibly happy to recieve this arc and began to read it almost instantly. I loved Roz Nay's debut 'Our Little Secret' and this book exceeded my all ready high expectaions. An incredible story of family secrets and past tradegies with plenty of twists and curve balls thrown in. I genuinely didn't know who to trust. Brilliant. Highly recommended.

This was a pretty good psychological read. I enjoy reading family drama and this book fits. It definitely kept me wondering and on the edge of my seat. It was also a short and quick read and the pacing of the story was right on. Great character development Would definitely recommend. Thank you netgalley for letting me give an honest of this book.
