An easy read with an incredible plot twist. Beautifully written, it will drive your curiosity wild, heighten your emotions, and leave you satisfied in the end. I love how everything is explained at the conclusion, making it all come together perfectly. The plot isn’t pretentious; it delivers a wonderful cinematic experience, like a movie where the director highlights every important scene. It was by far the best thriller I’ve read.

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller. It was fast paced and did have me shocked at the twists. Definitely recommend reading this book!

Kept me interested from cover to cover. I really enjoyed the plot and Characters of the story. The author was very creative.

Quick read with awesome twists. It was a bit slow at first but then I got sucked in and couldn't stop reading. I would definitely read more from this author.

This was a great read. The first part was a tad painful but once it gets to the second part, it’s excellent read. The suspense and the details in the characters all great. My first book from this author, I’ll be picking more books this author. Highly recommend.

I started this book in the morning and could not put it down! The twists and turns left me in awe. The writing is intriguing and draws you into this families sinister history.

If you’re looking for a psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, Love, Mom by Iliana Xander is the perfect choice. This book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, packed with shocking twists and turns that will leave you gasping out loud. The story follows Mackenzie, a young woman whose life is turned upside down when she discovers that the woman she’s always called “Mom” isn’t actually her biological mother. This revelation sends her on a desperate search for the truth, leading to even more unsettling discoveries about her past. The way Xander unravels the mystery is nothing short of brilliant, keeping readers hooked from start to finish. Mackenzie’s journey is heart-wrenching, and I found myself deeply invested in her struggles. She’s a character you can’t help but root for, especially as she navigates the emotional turmoil of uncovering hidden secrets. Thankfully, she has EJ, a loyal and supportive friend who stands by her side throughout the chaos. Their friendship adds warmth to the story, balancing out the dark and intense moments. One of the things I loved most about this book was how unpredictable it was. Just when I thought I had it figured out, another twist would throw me completely off guard. The suspense is relentless, making it impossible to put down. I was completely hooked—this book had me feeling everything from shock to sadness to relief. If you love thrillers that mess with your mind and keep you guessing until the very last page, Love, Mom is a must-read. It’s a book that I will always recommend, and I know I’ll be thinking about it long after finishing. Iliana Xander has crafted an unforgettable story that will leave you reeling in the best way possible.

One of the best books I’ve read in a while, I read it in 2 days, could not put it down. So many twists and turns, paced really well, easy to follow with so many unexpected twists. I was sad when I finished. Really really enjoyed it, it’s my next book club pick.

Love Mom was hard to put down. It certainly keeps you guessing right till the end. One of the best psychological thrillers I've read in a long time.

Best read. I couldn't stop reading halfway and had to complete the book. Unexpected turns and fast paced. Go for it!

Such a fantastic book. It’s was fast paced with lots of twists and turns. Similar style to Freda McFadden.

This is the twistiest thriller I have ever read in my entire life so far!! I have read 26 thrillers and none of them have given such crazy and insane twists. Even though I guessed the majority of the twists after the very first one that occurred right at the midpoint of the novel, I still absolutely loved this book! Next is SECRETS! I’ve never read a thriller with that many secrets throughout the entire novel before. The irony of every character was so unbelievably insane and funny. I also loved the fact there was so many antagonists NOT just one unlike most thrillers. The plot holes were resolved so well and so well connected that are SO mind-blowing. Anyways, I will be so looking forward for new books from Iliana Xander and continue to devour her future books. I highly, highly, highly recommend reading this story, but you must have patience because this story gets much more interesting past the midpoint of the novel!

Fast paced, lots of back and forth, great story. Little light on the "thriller" aspects for me. But a good, quick read that keeps you guessing.
