Meet the In-Laws: An absolutely unputdownable and totally gripping psychological thriller (Meet the Parents)
They say you’re welcome in this family. They’re lying…
Gina Whitlock was never close to her parents. Standing on the porch of her childhood home with her new husband, Dr Owen Whitlock, Gina nervously adjusts his shirt before he tugs his arm away with a sharp look. This is the first time he’s meeting her family. Gina needs everything to go perfectly. More than her marriage is at stake. What happens this weekend could save her life…
But as her mother, Carol, welcomes them inside with a wide smile, Gina notices the newly renovated kitchen and expensive gold watch on her father’s wrist. Things her parents shouldn’t be able to afford. Oozing charm, Owen greets her mother with an unexpected familiarity that sends a chill down Gina’s spine.
Gina didn’t bring Owen here to play happy families. And she didn’t marry him for love. Gina wants revenge. But if her new husband is no stranger to his in-laws, is she more alone than she realized? And in more danger than ever?
Meet the In-Laws is an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you up reading late into the night! Fans of Daniel Hurst, Freida McFadden and The Perfect Marriage will be totally hooked.
This book can be read as a standalone.

I really loved this second book in the series, and I was excited to see what happened after 'Meet the Parents'. I had no idea where Emily Shiner would go with this one, but she didn't disappoint. The different POVs were especially enjoyable, and Carol's storyline, from before, was captivating. An easy 5 star read!
