I received an #ARC of “Her Darkest Fear” by Nina Manning in exchange for an honest review. Overall, I enjoyed the book, it reminded me a little of Ruth Ware who is one of my favorite authors of this genre. It took me awhile to get into this one, there was a lot of backstory to get through first but once I got through that I was really into it. I enjoyed the back and forth between the past and present. I definitely did not see the ending coming at all though. It almost seemed to come out of left field with no real foreshadowing to warrant it ending the way it did. Overall a decent read but the ending is what brought the rating down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this insightful book very much. The storyline flows at a great pace, and the characters are well fleshed out. Highly recommended!

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review

I was actually really enjoying this book and the mystery, but it got well into 80something % without a twist, and I felt a little concerned. And then somewhere at 93% it just completely goes off the rails invaders in a direction that makes no sense whatsoever, and all of that emotion I had invested in the story felt wasted. I’ll give it 2.5 rounded up because I enjoyed most of the story

This was a short mystery with plenty of red herrings. The book is character driven with. no real descriptions of settings. The characters are not deep either and one doesn’t know them when reading. The ending is predictable but it was an enjoyable read.

Her Darkest Fear by author Nina Manning is a dark and twisty thriller that does not disappoint! Loved this book by Manning.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Her Darkest Fear is a psychological thriller. Frankie Keegan is a wife and a mother, who is having trouble coping with life and the past. Twenty years ago she lost her brother in a car accident, and has been blaming herself ever since. The anniversary of his death is fast approaching, and the past is haunting her. Apparently someone from her past hasn’t forgot or forgiven her either. I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down till I found out how it ended. This is the author, Nina Manning’s second book and I’m definitely going to read her first one. Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC.

Her Darkest Fear is my first book by Nina Manning. I love psychological thrillers so I was excited to pick this one up and give it a try. I was engaged throughout this book and enjoyed it.
