The Waiting Room is a tough book to review without giving anything away. It is a highly emotional read but I found it a quick read and finished it in an evening. I have previously read books by the author and couldn't wait to read this....and then I could not put it down. There is a lot happening, and at times I was in tears for the characters and what they were going through.Veronica's life was turned upside down when her husband was killed in a car crash. Her baby girl survived the crash but n...

WOW! What a fabulous book. If you enjoy psychological thrillers that have you guessing what is going on only to find out you were completely wrong, then this is the book for you! From all the twists and turns in the storyline, the complex characters in the book, and watching the main character's story unfold this is a must read to add to your collection.It was interesting to read about the main characters mental illness and the extent the human mind will go to in order to protect itself from ove...

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.

I can’t believe I waited this long to read this book, once I started I wasn’t able to put it down. This book was well written and very suspenseful. I loved the ending. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Outstanding book! This one was such a page turner and the ending was completely unexpected. Loved this one.

I found this a very interesting book.Veronica not only has a new baby but within weeks looses her husband.She wakes one morning thinking her husband is looking after the baby but on further investigation none of them are in the house.She panic. But then thinks maybe her husband has taken baby on a car ride to settle her.She texts.What she gets back is worrying.Then, her husband is dead.Her baby is safe.Veronica suffers with postpartum depression . Or post natal depression as commonly called.It a...

I literally devoured this in under 12 hours. It was just that good! What started slow quickly picked up and delved into multiple twists and turns! This is the third book of Bleeker’s that I have read and while they have all been extremely different (I have yet to read Working Fire), they all have one thing in common - they are all excellent. When Veronica starts therapy to grieve the loss of her husband, she meets both Gillian and Mark in the waiting room and what happens next will definitely in...

Very poorly written, I wanted to stop reading it 100 times but I kept hoping it would get better, it didn't. I was annoyed for the characters. I don't understand the 5 stars

This is a thrillingand fast-paced ride.Veronica loses her husband soon after giving birth to her daughter Sophia. His death was devastating and in conjunction with postpartum depression these events have left Veronica emotionally vulnerable and unable to cope on her own.One day, Veronica returns to her home after a counseling session and finds her baby gone. The police are not being as helpful and she wishes, so she takes it upon herself to find her daughter.This was a fast-paced book with unexp...

4 took me by surprise stars I must say that Emily Bleeker is quickly becoming one of my go to authors. I believed The Waiting Room seemed like a classic family drama, but there were more than a few surprises in store that made me quickly lose track of time. This is definitely one of my contenders for the most gut wrenching climax. I would highly recommend this as a good choice for a book club option. Thanks to Netgalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. Publication Date is August...

Veronica Shelton is suffering horribly from the effects of post-partum depression and is not even able to hold baby, Sophie, it has gotten that severe. With her husband, Nick, having passed away in a car crash, Veronica's mother comes to help her look after the baby and begs Veronica to get help. When Ronnie wakes up one morning to find an empty crib she begins to panic. From then on it's twists, turns and misdirection aplenty, with no real reason as to why we should rely on Veronica as a narrat...

4.5/5The Waiting Room is one of those books that creeps up on you, it starts off fairly strong but the more you read, the better it gets. The intensity ramps up page by page and then there are several really well executed twists and turns that just kept sucking me in the further along I read. It was one of those books where I kept saying, what in the actual hell is going on here?!I really felt for poor Veronica, she’s a widow and she has severe post partum depression, which is so understandable

I had at first thought I would give this book ***, but when I got near the end it became a solid **** for me. Nick and Veronica are married with an infant girl named Sophie. Veronica is unable to hold her baby or care for her in any other way due to crippling postpartum depression. Nick was killed in an automobile accident involving a drunk driver and, Sophie, who was with him at the time, was injured. Veronica's mother Barb has moved in with her to help her with Sophie. Her mother and she don't...

I had tears by the time I finished this book. My heart felt as if every drop of emotion was drained out of it. I was in turmoil. I liked the book, yet I didn't like it in some parts. The story goes like this, since her husband's death, Veronica has post partum depression. She couldn't touch her daughter. Her mother looked after the daily needs of her daughter till one day the child disappeared. And Veronica had to go searching for her daughter since police were doing nothing but suspecting her m...

WOW!!! I LOVED THE WAITING ROOM! It grabs you from the first page and never let's go. Suspenseful, creative, imaginative, and did I say TWISTY? One of the Best Domestic Thrillers and will keep you guessing (trust me you will not figure this one out), until the REVEAL. Emily Bleeker's best YET! A chart-topper. Definitely will make my Top 30 Books of 2o018! Complete review to follow. In the meantime, pre-0rder this one, and move to the TOP of your list.

I feel like I’m in the minority here, but I just did not enjoy this book. It sounded like a great story, but I found myself getting bored, not paying attention, and never reaching for it to continue reading. I didn’t connect with the characters, and the story just seemed to add random details in for convenience. It picked up for about the last 10%, but overall it was a miss for me. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Somebody get my Chiropractor on the line! I think I have whiplash from all the twists and turns! What a ride!Emily Bleeker can consistently weave a story like nobody's business and The Waiting Room is no exception!Just when you think you have it all figured out - WHAM! Whiplash. I cannot even explain my love for her writing, and the way she crafts these incredibly suspenseful stories. Knocked this one out of the park. Totally out of the park and past the parking lot, and across the highway... It...

Not a great read, but not a terrible one. I slogged through it, and honestly, the reason I did was because of the several reviews I had read that indicated a twist at the end, and a couple of "I didn't see that coming" remarks that piqued my interest more than the book itself. I found myself more engrossed with trying to figure out how the twist at the end would come about and if I could "see it coming" than any interest in the actual story. I could see quite a bit of what was to come, but I'll

I thought The Waiting Room was just ok. The first half was slow and boring. The second half picked up especially with the "twist" but even that was predictable. I found the characters annoying and the story unbelievable.Thank you to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing and Emily Bleeker for a copy of "The Waiting Room" in exchange of an honest review.

3.5 starsA first by Emily Bleeker but it won’t be my last. It’s always exciting for me to read books by authors I’ve never read before because every author has their own way of writing a book. Some tend to focus more on the thriller aspect in a thriller novel, and some tend to focus a little more on the emotional aspect, but the thriller aspect is there. For this book, I found the first bit a little boring and t it was until about halfway through the book where things started getting interesting...
