ABOUT THE BOOK
I can’t believe how far my husband, Hayden, and I have come. I never expected that one day I’d be sipping a steaming coffee over our marble countertop or finishing off a humid summer day with a dip in our sparkling pool. But even though we’re living in paradise, I’ve never felt so distant from my husband. I’m certain he’s hiding something from me. Before, I would have confided in my friends and family but in this new life of ours, I’m terrified to trust anyone…
Now, with Hayden out again, my evening is quiet. From our floor-to-ceiling windows, I watch the pool water ripple under the raindrops. But I swear I see movement beyond the garden hedges. I try to shake my fears away, I must be imagining things. That’s what Hayden would say.
But then I find the hand-delivered note and my heart pounds in my chest as I scan the neat words.
You don’t deserve this life.
My blood runs cold. I thought I’d kept all my secrets well hidden, but now as I look out to the still night, I realise it’s only a matter of time until my past catches up with me – a past my husband still has no idea about. I know what I have to do to protect my perfect new life, but those around me have no idea how far I’m willing to go to keep it…
MY REVIEW
Wow, this book was amazing! This is a new to me author, but I am now a fan for life.
This book is a fast read, full of suspense, full of thrills, and will keep you guessing. I thought early on I knew which was this book was going to go, but I was so off base. This author created dynamic characters and it was hard to figure out who you could trust and who you couldn’t. Turns out, it’s pretty hard to trust any of them!
The author did a great job depicting what can happen when someone wins the lottery – people coming out of the woodwork trying to get a piece of the money! There may be one question I have about the book, but I can’t ask it here because I don’t want to give anything away!
So, what secrets will be revealed? Whose lives will be effected by these secrets? The only way to find out is to read the book. I highly recommend this to anyone that loves a good mystery/thriller. I found this easy to read and very enjoyable.
