No More Words is a novel of family secrets and lies! Just when you think you have it all figured out POOF you find out your wrong! I’m interested to see the “other side of the story” in future novels.
Rating: ★★★
​Release Date: July 6, 2021
Genre: Women's Fiction. Family Drama. Suspense. 

Series: No More series #1
Pages: 327 pages
Format: eBook. Source: ​Kindle Unlimited. 
​From the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes the first book in a trilogy about love, betrayal, and the secrets families keep.

Forced to choose between abortion or adoption, Olivia Carson’s younger sister, Lily, runs away from home. Sixteen and pregnant, she never returns. But she writes. Once a year, Lily mails a picture of her son, Josh, to Olivia until his thirteenth year. Then it’s Josh himself who arrives at Olivia’s house, alone, terrified, and in possession of a notarized declaration from Lily. It begins, “In the event I go missing…”
​

Josh has difficulty talking. He can’t read or write, but he’s a prolific artist, exhibiting skill beyond his age. His drawings are as detailed as they are horrific. Olivia soon realizes Josh’s artwork tells a story. There’s more to his arrival and to Lily’s untimely disappearance than it seems. Using the drawings as a road map, Olivia traces 
​Josh’s path back to his mom. Each drawing sheds light on Lily’s past and reveals a darkness that forces Olivia to question everything she thought she knew about her family.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: No More Words is a novel of family secrets and lies! Just when you think you have it all figured out POOF you find out your wrong! I’m interested to see the “other side of the story” in future novels.

I wanted to try a new to me author, so I decided to give Kerry Lonsdale a try and read her latest release, No More Words. While I liked this book for what it is; a family drama/suspense filled with secrets and lies, I did find the story to be a little slow and many of the characters to be unlikeable. That doesn’t sound like the making of a great book but this one did have its pluses. For example, the mystery surrounding the novel (the disappearance of the MCs sister) was really interesting and I was sitting in anticipation waiting to see what happened. Even though I didn’t care much for the characters I was intrigued to see what secrets were revealed and whether this would have changed how I felt about them. I also enjoyed the flashbacks where that gave us a different perspective of how the lies came about. For these reasons, I’ll be giving this one a solid 3-star rating.

Will I be picking up the next book when it comes out in May? Probably, as long I remember to do so. May is so far away and at that point I may not be as interested as I am now. It’s things like this that makes me wonder why some authors push their books (in a series) so far apart. Perhaps releasing them a little closer would help newbie readers who aren’t quite sure yet? I mean I totally understand that it takes time to write a novel but sometimes when there’s so much going on within a story and it seeps into the next one then they should be released a little closer together. That’s just my opinion though! Anyway, if you’ve enjoyed the authors work before and like books that have a family mystery to them then this may be a good fit for you. Just because I didn’t love it doesn’t mean someone else won’t (I mean look at all the other stellar reviews for this one!).
