I love Seraphina Nova Glass so much! She never disappoints. When I tell you this book had me HOOKED from the very beginning. I loved the multiple POV and how each of the main characters gets had a totally different story and background but they all ended up interconnected in the most unexpected way! This is one of those books that had me clenching my jaw and turning the page frantically to see what would happen next and I read it very quickly! I highly recommend this if you want an exciting thriller that will completely shock you with the twists.

Set in a posh lakefront community, a group of families find themself caught up in a nightmare when one of the neighbours goes missing.

There is so much more happening in the book but I am going to keep the synopsis brief as the less you know about this one, the better it'll be. Go in blind if you can! This was a five star book for me. It had everything a fabulous thriller needs - it was fast paced, with multiple POVs and short chapters. I could not stop reading once I started with my heart beating so fast in certain parts!

4.5 stars

✨This one grabbed me from the first page and didn’t let up until the very last page was turned.  Every time I thought I knew where the story was headed, it took a huge left turn that usually left me completely speechless. 
 
✨The multiple points of view and short chapters made for a fast-paced read, and the secrets and lies of the cast of characters kept me guessing and second guessing to the end. 
 
✨This one really delivered for me.

On this weeks episode of “WTF did I just read” we have Too Close To Home brought to you by Seraphina Nova Glass 😱

Friends. This book was insane. I honestly can’t even comprehend what I just read because every time I was able to catch my breath, I got the wind knocked out of me again. There was A LOT to unpack and honestly my only “complaint” was trying to get a grasp on who all the characters were. But boy oh boy, once I had things under control I was FLYING through the pages. Everyone had secrets, lies and DRAMA and everyone knows these are my favorite kind of reads. Excuse me while I go grab a heating pad for the absolute whiplash I just endured.

I know summer is JUST ending but PLEASE bring on spring because this beauty comes out April 14th and trust me, you must read it IMMEDIATELY.

As always, I am so SO grateful to the author and Thriller Book Lovers - The Pulse for this amazing exclusive early read.

A gorgeous town set in an idyllic locale seems like the perfect place to raise a family. Then a bomb explodes in Regan’s car. Ally was just using it to get ice, and boom, nothing in this picture-perfect town will ever be the same.
The POV’s shift between Regan, Andi, and Sasha. Besides the bomb, Regan is still haunted by her husband’s death. Sasha is happily remarried, but her ex-husband still has a hold on her. Then there is Andi, still enraged by her ex’s new wife, Tia. Ironically, Tia would like to make Andi disappear. However, it is Tia who goes missing and everyone in town is giving Andi side eye.
Holy twists and turns! I grew up in a small town and I swear the secrets and lies could choke anyone. How everything comes together was so clever. My lips are sealed but just know that this was a hard book to put down.

I devoured this book like it was spiked with adrenaline.

Seraphina Nova Glass, tears open the perfect picket fences and makes you choke on the rot hiding underneath. Too Close to Home had me questioning everyone, clutching the pages like they might burn in my hands, and muttering “no way” more times than I can count.

The setup is deceptively familiar: a glossy lakefront neighborhood, PTA moms in sundresses, the kind of place where secrets shouldn’t exist. But from the second Regan’s car explodes at the town’s perfect little Labor Day gathering, the mask slips and the neighborhood’s golden glow turns menacing. This isn’t a slow simmer; it’s a full on detonation.

Regan’s unraveling felt visceral, one moment she’s dodging judgmental PTA stares, the next she’s questioning her sanity when she sees her supposedly dead husband standing in the flesh. The paranoia, the grief, the desperation…Glass nails that claustrophobic mix of fear and doubt that makes you feel like you’re trapped in the community right alongside her.

And here’s where the brilliance lies, it’s not just about a murder attempt or a missing neighbor. It’s about how well constructed lies can suffocate a person until the truth claws its way out. Every time I thought I knew what was happening, Glass would twist the knife a little deeper.

This book had me checking over my own shoulder, half from the suspense, half from the creeping dread that maybe the “perfect” people in our lives are only perfect because they’ve buried the wreckage too deep to see.

Explosive, chilling, and unnervingly real, Too Close to Home is domestic suspense at its most unhinged and I loved every second of it.
