The haunting of Hill house meets Rebecca with gothic, mysterious vibes, distorted reality theme with unreliable heroine who barely differentiate between reality and nightmares! Yes, bring it on! 

 High tension, gripping, intriguing, fast paced story line with deliciously well- written, captivating characterization and lots of twists which blow your mind, increasing your excitement levels. This is definitely one sit, unputdownable story, making you question your own reality and giving you a great chance for brain exercise! ( most of my cells are overcooked, smoking right now! But it’s absolutely worth it! )

  Here it’s a brief introduction without giving so much away: 

Dear six years old Ruby Falls has been abandoned by her own father, trapped in a cave. When her childhood trauma starts affecting her entire future, she decides to reinvent herself by burying her past. 

She turns into a soap opera star named Eleanor Russell, marries with a perfect stranger Orlando Montague in Europe, living in a storybook cottage located in Hollywood Hills. And now she has a big chance to play the leading part at the remake of Rebecca (somebody should warn her: Lily James already took the part and had the best one night stand with Chris Evans. Yes, what a lucky cow, isn’t she?) 
  
  She seems like finally she has it all. Nope, think again! Because as soon as she mentally immerses herself into her role, she realizes her life turns into exact same movie story as her husband’s manners start to change. It’s too late for her to find our she’s not the only one keeping secrets in this marriage. 

I’m zipping my lips and recommending you to take this thrilling, WTH I just read kind of truly surprising ride as I’m giving my four heart throbbing, nail biting, soul crushing stars! 

Special thanks to NetGalley and Post Hill Press for sharing this reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

Sweet Dreams are made of this...

Ruby Falls is a novel like no other. Ruby is a little girl who has to grapple with her past to try and protect her future. When she grows up, she reinvents herself into Ellie, an actress with a wonderful new life and the perfect English cottage in Los Angeles. So what could go wrong?

Everything! There are so many secrets and twists in this novel. It is a true horror book that is on the same level of Shirley Jackson’s, The House on Haunted Hill (in my opinion). It’s a great read that leaves you wanting to find out what is going on and what’s the next truth bomb you’re going to find out. All I can say, without spoiling the book, is to just enjoy the ride!

4.5 stars! The reference to Rebecca by du Maurier had me excited and This did not disappoint.
This psychological suspense story kept me trying to figure it out, to no avail. After meeting Miss Ruby, I was trying so hard to help her as she was such a sweet, if not a bit naive character. Her trauma of having her father abandon her as a child seemed so mysterious and trying to piece it together with her unravelling present equally mysterious.
The writing was lovely and kept you in Ruby's steps, though not fully in her person which was perfect. And that last sentence will make perfect sense when you read it, which you should!

Thank you to NetGalley for this advanced digital copy.

I didn't finish this particular book because I don't care for steamy scenes in the books that I read (although this was not especially graphic). I think I would have finished it otherwise. I wasn't sure I would like it at first, but I found the plot intriguing and wanted to see what was truly going on in the main character's mind. Was she just a flake, mentally off, or was it something much deeper? The cover is also quite stunning, and eye catching. This book was not my cup of tea, but it might be for other readers!

I really enjoyed this book! Even though a great thriller, it is laced with some humour. It kept me turning the pages right up until the end and I would definitely recommend this book. A good balance of suspense, creepiness and a touch of humour.

Rating: 4.8/5 stars

I have just finished Deborah Royce's latest work and I can only escribe it in one word...OMG!! It was so so good!!
First If I talk about the writing style, it is absolutely brilliant. Author Royce has done an amazing job presenting the story in the most beautiful way possible. She has successfully created an air of suspense throughout the narrative with the mastery of her art. Another thing I loved the most was the author's eye for detail. The story was amazing and the use of exact words and emotions and the setting together provides an ultimate reading experience. 

Overall, I have enjoyed going through it. I highly recommend this work to everyone. Happy Reading

Great page turner that keeps you constantly guessing and wondering what is true, what is reality and what is imagined. Ruby’s fragile character is well done and I loved her mother’s strong and supportive character. The cats were fun, too. Start this when you have lots of time to read because you will want to read until you find answers!

Thriller that really confused me even though the end seemed really obvious looking back! 

It’s the story of a woman who’s father leaves her as a child. Then in adulthood she marries and things start to go very weird. Really enjoyed this one and would recommend.

Review By: I Love to Read (Librarian)
This well written thriller held my interest from the first when a tragic childhood trauma sets the course of a woman's life. Despite many successes in areas of her life, the old haunting experience rears its demanding head blending the lines between reality and fantasy. What is real? What is not? Secrets abound. The most damaging secrets, the ones the heroine keeps from herself. I highly recommend this book. Deborah Goodrich Royce is an author to watch.
