My Review:
Wow! This book is just amazing!
I’ve read this author’s previous books and I know how compelling they are, but this one just totally surpassed all my expectations. There is so much to tell you about this book, but I can’t, because there are so many layers and secrets in this story that I really don’t want to spoil it!
I really liked Beth, and couldn’t help but wonder what secrets she was hiding. When the truth is revealed it is pretty shocking, but I still found myself drawn to her as a character, and as her life begins to fall apart, I felt so sorry for her.
There is so much tension in this book, and even when I figured out what what happened, the tension continued, as I wished I could climb inside the book and warn Beth, as she hurtled further down the path to disaster.
This was the sort of book that kept me reading late into the night, and when I finally had to put it down, it was in the back of my mind, as I tried to unravel the secrets and the clever plot.
Absolutely superbly crafted, I enjoyed every page of this book, even when I was on the edge of my seat with the drama of it all! Cannot recommend it highly enough.
