Sofa Spotlight - Related by Blood, Holly Sheidenberger



As a heads up I received a free copy of this book in return for a fair and honest review.

Formality aside and on with the show. You know a book is good when you don’t want it to end and when it does end you sincerely hope that the author is planning a sequel. It was so with this book. The plot follows the son of a senator who is also hoping for a high profile political career.

The book begins as Harris (the aforementioned senator’s son with political career hopes) is on a date with his college girlfriend. Things take a nasty turn when he hits a little girl and then drives off with Cleo (the girlfriend) as a witness. Their relationship is ended as part of a cover up by Harris’ dad which leaves Harris completely in the clear. Apart from Cleo isn’t completely out of the picture.

Cleo’s narration slowly reveals how much of an unreliable narrator she is. Appealing if you’re a fan of books like The Girl on the Train or A Stranger in the House. Her story comes in fifteen years after the accident and the story follows her reconnecting with Harris and her hopes of becoming his wife.

I loved reading this. It’s not a full novel but comes in parts that you can keep up with on Kindle Unlimited as they come out. It’s punchy and you will fly through reading this. Sheidenberger doesn’t let the narrative slow down the pace of the storyline so you get all the drama at the speed that you will want. I was surprised at how quickly I was drawn in and I am now completely hooked on this series.

If a psychological thriller is your cup of tea then I recommend that this be your next read. My only criticism is that it just wasn’t quite long enough, which is no bad thing if it leaves you wanting more.
