The Empty Room, by Brooke Linford, is a novel that focuses on infertility, loss and obsession. Emily and her husband, Mark are trying to have a baby with no success. A new girl has been hired at the gallery that Emily works at, and she seems like she's up to no good. While she's juggling family relationships and doctors visits, she's also having to watch her back because her new coworker seems a little too interested in her life, including her extended family. All this while she and her loved ones are dealing with bushfires right near their homes. The book deals with infertility in a sensitive and somewhat informative manner. Unfortunately, there's a lot of repetition throughout the middle "half" of the book. The ending was exciting and came to a neat conclusion without any cliffhangers.

Excellent domestic thriller and a quick read. Very fast pace, which I personally like - read it in a day. Just had to find out what would happen next.

I’m sorry to say that I didn’t enjoy this book very much as in my opinion nothing much happens. Obviously being a short book it was a little rushed. I’ll keep my eye out for more by this author in the future; hopefully the others will be better.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a honest review.

I would like to thank NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review The Empty Room by Brooke Linford. This was the first book that I have read by Brooke Linford but it certainly wont be my last!

The Empty Room was expertly crafted and sure gave me a great thrill! I absolutely adored the characters and felt a personal connection to each of them.

This is the type of book you bring to the beach with you and can finish in one sitting.

Emily is struggling with infertility, but this soon becomes the least of her problems. Emily's world is completely turned upside down and a suspicious death soon takes place.

I dont want to give away any spoilers but I can tell you that you do not want to miss this! I would highly recommend this novel to family and friends .

Thank you NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and author for this great ebook copy!

The Empty Room is a fast thriller! This was my first book by Brooke Linford, and I soon hope she writes again soon... Because this was great!

Emily and Mark have been trying to convince for awhile now. And its finally taken its toll on them both. They have the perfect life..... But its not complete yet, without a little bundle of joy to share it with!
Emily's world slowly starts getting turned upside down when she meets a new colleague..... Victoria is beautiful and stunning. But all is not what it seems with her.
Emily starts to notice her stares are lasting a little longer at Mark, the fake smile, her demeanor is off, the wild off the wall personal questions.
Things start to make Emily feel very uncomfortable fast! She starts getting uncomfortable.
Is Victoria really behind all the weirdness that's going on? Is she really dangerous? And why?

This was such a fast paced read! I enjoyed the characters well Emily because I seriously felt her pain!
The writing was fabulous, very well written story with an amazing plot and crazy ending!
I really enjoyed getting a chance to read this book!
Thank you again!
