BLURB

Single mother Maggie Conner struggles to raise her young daughter, Isabel, in a household ruled by her own abusive father.
Terrified for Isabel’s safety, Maggie realises that neither her cold, distant mother nor anyone else in town seem willing to help them.
Then Isabel starts to disappear for long periods, returning with no idea of where she has been or why.
And when Maggie tries to get outside help, doctors and psychologists seem strangely reluctant to get involved in Isabel’s case. Is someone threatening them so they’ll stay away?
Desperate to save her daughter, Maggie searches for answers. But the more she digs, the more she is forced to confront the secrets buried deep in her own past.
As Maggie’s whole world begins to unravel, can she find the strength to face the terrifying truth?

MY REVIEW

This book was a shockingly great surprise! It is fully of mystery and suspense. This book will take you on a wild ride! As you read the book, you’re along for the ride. Things seem odd, but it’s easy to brush off the oddities. It isn’t until there is a little nugget that dropped does your whole world turn upside down! I know others said that they saw the twist clear as day, but I absolutely did not. Which, for me, makes the book more enjoyable. Baxter writes these characters that leap off the page whether you like them or hate them. I enjoyed reading about the neighbors willing to help Maggie, even if Maggie thought they weren’t being helpful. It was also nice to see Maggie’s progression towards the end of the story. I don’t want to say more than that because I don’t want to give anything away. It is a quick and easy read, and any thriller fan will enjoy this book!
