I picked this book just because of the cover.
I am blown away with how sucked in the book had me. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn’t think it was going to be a mystery at all.

I loved Josh, and yes he struggles but his way of communication and the way Olivia just gets it and how protective she is I loved that.

Interesting to say the least, my mind is still wondering about this and about that but I don’t want to voice it because it could give away spoilers.
Loved the narration, Susannah Jones is a phenomenal narrator.

No More Words is the first book in Kerry’s new series. I’m super sad we’ll have to wait until next year for book #2

No matter what happens in your life, the love for your siblings can't be changed by anything. when her sister gone missing, there was a big hole left in Olivia's world and even if they weren't the best of friends, she still feels guilty about what happened to make Lily to run away and hide all these years.
It's a heartbreaking story about family and to what extend the trust in that family can overlook so many bad events or unwanted moments.
I loved that we get a happy moment at the end after so much turmoil and suspense.
I'm looking foreword to the next books in the trilogy.

I’m embarrassed to admit I let this book sit on my bookshelf for to long! I loved it!
Olivia Carson has not seen her younger sister, Lily, since Lily ran away at the age of sixteen after finding out she was pregnant. . Lily refused to have an abortion or put her child up for adoption. The only communication Olivia has had with Lily are the letters Lily sends once a year with a photo of her son Josh.
One day Olivia is shocked to see Josh whose thirteen now arrive at her door but with no Lily. Josh who appears to have suffered a fall in the past struggles to communicate verbally. So he’s unable to tell Olivia what happened or where his mother might be. Josh draws pictures and his drawings hold clues to the mystery of where Lily might be. Olivia is determined to uncover the mystery that surrounds Lily. The story alternates between the past and present and what happened to lead Lily leaving. Their parents had a volatile relationship, and as Olivia digs into their past she soon realizes maybe her memories aren’t they way she actually saw them as a child, and how many secrets did her parents actually hide?

Kerry, how I love thee. Her stories, I swear. She hooks you immediately. Every time. I absolutely love the psychological situations that go into her novels. And the words she weaves around them, wow.

Lonsdale is the master of Psychological Suspense. No More Words left me with no words. I cannot wait for book 2.

I’m finding it hard to find the words to write my review for Kerry Lonsdale’s latest novel - No More Words. I am an avid Kerry fan, and will read anything she creates. I’m so happy to let readers know she has one upped her game with No More Words.

NMW is the first of a new trilogy in which we are introduced to the Carson family. This novel revolves around the Oldest sibling Olivia when one day her youngest sibling’s estranged son Josh mysteriously ends up on her doorstep. Readers will discover the family is a complex one, filled with many secrets. When those secrets start to unravel what happens next leaves one turning pages so fast and guessing up until the very end.

If you are looking for a suspense filled family drama with lies, oh and romance too - look no further than No More Words.

I am just happy this is the first of three books - I can’t wait to read about the other siblings, and get answers to the last question readers are left with!
