My Thoughts

Wow!!! I did not see that twist coming at the end.

This book was nothing short of amazing. This psychological thriller was quite an entertaining, jaw dropping story.

Beth, 40, a single mother of two, is trying to live a peaceful life. After her divorce from ex husband Jacob she settles into a new home, has a great job and is content to be happy. 

There has been a missing element in her life though, her mother. Who after abandoning her and Beth's father thirty years prior miraculously returns at her doorstep. This supposed happy occasion in Beth's is not as it seems, since shortly after reuniting with her mother things in her life started to shift. Things from Beth's past seems to be lurking at every corner. 

I liked the sequence of events in this book. I was eager to know what would happen next. There was a point in time where I started questioning everyone's sanity in the book especially Beth. The author was clever to make the reader wonder what Beth did in the past I think that was a nice touch because it had me literally screaming wanting to know what Beth did. I need to talk about Jacob. He was by far a typical ex husband I found he was so mean to Beth really. 

Alice's character was very interesting. I did not know what to make of this long lost mother who just came back after thirty years. 

Beth's life spiraled downward fast. Who was behind it?? I think you will be very shocked to know who. All in all I liked this book as I knew I would and I hope you like it too. For fans of a nice psychological thriller, mystery you can check this one one. 

Much Thanks to the author and Rachel's Random Resources for allowing me to be part of this blog tour.
