Alexandra Van Ness has the perfect life. She lives in an idyllic resort town tucked away in the Rocky Mountains, shares a designer loft with her handsome boyfriend, Chase, and has her dream job working in child protection. Every day, Alex goes above and beyond to save children at risk. But when her long-lost sister Ruth unexpectedly shows up at her door, Alex's perfect life is upended. Growing up, Ruth was always the troublemaker, pulling Alex into her messes, and this time will be no different. Still, Alex will help Ruth under one condition: we will never ever talk about the past. But when trouble befalls a local child, both women are forced to confront the secrets they've promised to keep buried. Utterly engrossing and claustrophobic, Hurry Home is a tantalizing reflection of the chain-and-shackles relationship between sisters that asks this question: what lines wouldn't you cross for your own?… (mere)

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews.This was certainly a twisty book, and I found myself not being able to choose which sister to root for. This was my first novel by Roz Nay and I'm definitely a fan of her writing style. It was a bit of a slow build and felt more like a family drama than a thriller, but I very much enjoyed the ride. The switching POV confused me occasionally when I forgot to pay attention to which sister it was focused on, but that's my fault for ignoring chapter headings. Overall, I'd definitely look for more of her works. ( )

Whoa! What happens in this novel is every mother’s worst nightmare and fear, including my own. Be warned, this book is crazy good but it will get you right in the gut.

It starts out on sure-footing, but doubt and chaos slowly creep in and before you know it, you can’t tell who is wrong or right, or what’s up or down. From the beginning, I sensed something was off, but the author has a way of assuaging those niggling thoughts and making the questionable seem justifiable. There was no way to tell where it was going and each page peels back another layer of deceit or revelation. Only until the very end can you (maybe?) be completely sure that everything has been explained and ironed it out, but you’re still left wondering.

Save this book for a lazy weekend or relaxing vacation because you won’t want to put it down.

Thank you, Crooked Lane Books, for this copy for an honest review. ( )

It's a chilling and suspenseful domestic drama. Both estranged sisters have dark secrets from the past that both want to remain deeply buried. Alex now has what seems to be the perfect life. She has a handsome boyfriend, Chase, who she lives with in his beautiful loft in the Rocky Mountains. She has the job that she always wanted working in Child Protective Services with at-risk children. But all that is at risk of change when her sister Ruth appears unexpectedly at her door. With a long history of trouble in Ruth’s life, Alex is certain that Ruth’s appearance will only bring upheaval to her world...but they are still sisters so Alex agrees to help Ruth. She makes Ruth promises never to bring up anything from the past. The story is told from both Alex’s and Ruth’s points of view, and needleless to say the points of view are very different. The secrets are slowly revealed, leaving the reader wondering who is telling the truth and who can be trusted. Many twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing right up to the shocking conclusion. ( )

I absolutely loved this book! It got me hooked right from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down. I didn’t know which character to believe or which one I was supposed to like that by the time I finished the book, I found out I had picked the wrong character to root for. ( )

- 3.5 stars - Many secrets that keeps you wondering what the heck is going on?

Hurry Home is a story told by two sisters, Ruth and Alex. It was mostly family drama with secrets from the past. The story and pace kept me interested and unaware what would be the conclusion. ( )
