After That Night by Karin Slaughter:
Fifteen years ago, Sara Linton's life was forever altered when a night of celebration turned into a violent assault, shattering her world. Since then, Sara has rebuilt her life from the ground up. Now a successful doctor, engaged to the man she loves, she has worked hard to put the past behind her.
However, one evening, while on call in the ER, everything changes. Sara finds herself fighting to save a young woman who has been brutally attacked. As the investigation unfolds, led by GBI Special Agent Will Trent, it becomes evident that Dani Cooper's assault is eerily connected to Sara's past.

Not Like Other Girls by Meredith Adamo:
⁉️Cheats.
⁉️Liars.
⁉️Fakes.
⁉️Friends?
When Jo-Lynn Kirby's former best friend, the charming and popular Maddie Price, approaches her with claims of trouble, Jo initially dismisses it as a cruel prank. After all, Jo has been ostracised ever since her private photos were maliciously circulated, leading many to believe she deserved the humiliation. It seems inconceivable that Maddie would genuinely seek her help.
Yet, Maddie vanishes without a trace.
While others quickly label Maddie a runaway, Jo senses there's more to the story. Determined to uncover the truth, Jo realizes she must reconnect with the very people who shunned her—and the key lies with Hudson Harper-Moore. An old flame of Jo's, Hudson harbours his motives for locating Maddie. To infiltrate their social circle once more, Hudson proposes a faux romantic entanglement, reigniting Jo's ties with her former peers.
However, re-entering their inner circle forces Jo to confront painful memories she'd rather forget the betrayals, the cruel rumours, and the deep-seated secrets that fractured her bond with Maddie. As Jo delves deeper into Maddie's disappearance, she grapples with the question of who truly searching for Maddie or the version of herself she once was.
Thank you so much to the author - Meredith Adamo as well as the team at Book Influencers and Bloomsbury for running a book tour!

While juggling the roles of a single mother to her teenage daughter and a dedicated full-time nurse, Meghan Michaels finds herself plunged into a gripping mystery. While on duty at the hospital, she encounters Caitlin, a patient who arrives in a coma after a harrowing fall from a bridge onto train tracks below.
As Meghan grapples with her demanding responsibilities, a startling revelation emerges when a witness steps forward with shocking details about Caitlin's fall. Suddenly, everything she thought she knew was called into question.
Was Caitlin pushed?
And if so, by whom and for what reasons?
Despite her usual efforts to maintain emotional distance from her patients, Meghan finds herself drawn into Caitlin's story, inadvertently becoming deeply entwined in the lives of both the patient and her family. However, as she grows increasingly involved, Meghan realises the danger lurking beneath the surface. It's only when it's too late that she comprehends the terrifying truth - she and her daughter may be the next targets.
Caught between her duty as a nurse and her instinct to protect her loved ones, Meghan must navigate treacherous waters to uncover the sinister forces at play before it's too late.

What Am I Missing? By Emma Reed Turrell:
Have you ever found yourself in a conversation with a friend or family member that stirred up unexpected discomfort? Emma, through her 15-year career, has unearthed a common source of this discomfort: blind spots.
These blind spots, unnoticed gaps in our perception, often distort how we view ourselves and those close to us, leading to feelings of insecurity or confusion. In this book, Emma explores four distinct blind spot profiles, using real-life client stories to illustrate their impact on everyday interactions.
Through practical exercises, she guides readers in recognising these profiles:
The Gladiator = driven yet lacking trust
The Bridge = laid-back yet lacking authenticity
The Hustler = charismatic yet lacking self-worth
The Rock = resilient yet lacking boundaries.
Thank you so much to the author - Emma Reed Turrell, your books and podcasts have helped me on so many occasions. A huge thank you to the team at Penguin General, for allowing me to read this book!
