Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for my copy of The Hush by Sara Foster in exchange for an honest review. It publishes November 2, 2021.
Wow, this book. I did not want to put it down. I truly think everyone should read it. I felt like it was almost prophetic and for that reason it terrified me! This book was very well-written and well-researched. I felt the subject matter was extremely relevant and telling of what's going on in society and where things could go.
I will say that there are some triggers, revolving around pregnancy, infant death, sex, coarse language and mistreatment of minors.

This book was so good! I loved the strong female characters especially Emma and Lainey. This book really drew me in and had me hooked with all the government corruption going on. This is the first political thriller I’ve read and WOW! Just so wonderfully written by Sara Foster! This is a must read!!

4.5/5 stars

First of all, Thankyou you Netgalley for this amazing book by Sara Foster. This book was captivating from the very start. Babies across the world are being born to a healthy pregnancy but refuse to take their first breath. With all of these stillbirths racking up daily the government is going to extremes to track and research the reason. Pregnant women must take their tests at the pharmacy and turn in their results. If they’re pregnant they’re taken. When labor finds herself pregnant she worries for what her future holds

I loved this book!!!! I was thoroughly entertained and at the edge of my seat the entire time! This is essentially a near future, post covid world and it was almost too real and scary to read this at times.
I blew through this in a day, I was that obsessed with finding out what would happen next.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the type of science fiction that I enjoy because it (sadly) doesn't feel like a huge leap for something like this to happen, which is also terrifying. I loved the strong female characters in this novel. I do however think that there was a lot of build up and I wanted a bigger payout at the end.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley, Blackstone Publishing. and Foster for this outstanding novel!

I believe this was my first book ever that I've read on my Kindle reader where I highlighted so many thing's!

Also I have to say ever since Covid I have been waiting patiently for a book similar to The Hush.

I am going to try to keep this review short & sweet.

The Hush is going to be the talk of the books this fall.

Here we are in London and sucked right into the British Government.
The two main characters Emma a midwife who works at one of the local hospitals and her teen daughter Lainey.
The entire country is in turmoil. Viruses, terrorism, climate change and now newborn babies are dying. And now pregnant teen girls have gone missing!
The government has taken away most of their freedom.
Wearing watches that tracks their every move. They can't use cash anymore only through their watches. Wild I'm here to tell ya!
Emma has seen this crisis first hand as she delivers still born babies. But she is determined to find out what is causing these babies death and how this happened. Now even more so when her seventeen year old daughter goes missing.

The story is told between Emma and Lainey as they live day by day in this hell they call life.
Which I absolutely enjoyed that, reading what they are thinking and feeling.

Ya'll I have never read a book as good as The Hush! Foster I freaking love you and your writing is top notch. So brilliant and amazing.
What I loved and enjoyed most was that this is actually something that could damn well happen to our country.
Thats what drew me in and had me turning the pages till 3am because this book talks about media fear mongering, corruption in the government.

I loved everything about this book!

The characters were awesome and Emma a mother who will stop at nothing to save her daughter and Lainey a girl is is brave and determined to do whats right!

Foster's writing was beyond great. Her storytelling is fabulous and will draw you in and keep you hooked.

So much for keeping this short and sweet huh!
I want to thank NetGalley, Blackstone Publishing and Sarah for this outstanding, remarkable, magnificent story!
