~*The Escape Room by Megan Goldin*~

5 out of 5 stars I would like to thank Netgalley and St.Martin's Press for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this wonderful thriller. When I saw the title of this novel I knew I would want to read it even before I read the blurb about the book. The book weaves a story between the past told to us by Sarah Hall, a recent graduate who is desperate to get a well paying job in the world of finance so that she can take care of her ailing parents and the present with four coworkers trapped in an elevator escape room.  As the story goes on we find begin to find the breadcrumbs that tell us what exactly Vincent, Sylvie,Sam and Jules did to bring them all here together. As they try to figure out the clues to be freed they begin to figure out that there is something insidious about the escape room. I really enjoyed reading this and often couldn't wait to get back to the novel to find out what would happen next.

~*The Mother-In-Law by Sally Hepworth*~

5 out of 5 stars First off I would like to thank Netgalley and  St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read an advanced copy in exchange of an honest review. To be honest when I first started reading this I was not sure how I was going to  like this because I was expecting this to be more of a psychological thriller but this is more of a family drama, mystery. I needn't worry though as I was hooked almost immediately.   The story is told through the POV of Mother-In-Law Diana and Daughter-In-Law Lucy. Told in past and present Lucy and Diana lure you in with their story. You find yourself understanding each woman more and more as the story goes on and your heart breaks as the women's relationship is pulled apart because of misunderstanding. I did not agree with most of Diana's choices but I understood why she made many of them. As I said this is definitely more of a family drama with a mystery thrown in. I do think you will be able to figure out the guilty part...

Her Mother Becky believes that there is something terribly wrong with Meghan but the doctors can't seem to figure out what it is. There are too many symptoms that are pointing in too many directions.
