ABOUT THE BOOK
My mother is obsessed with every detail of my wedding – controlling my dress, my ring, my happiness. But when the day finally comes, will she really let me go? Last year, my sister’s fiancé was murdered on his wedding day. And I found my mother’s corsage next to his body…
I’m beaming as I walk down the aisle, but my smile masks a prickling fear, even though this is supposed to be the happiest day of my life.
My husband-to-be, Owen, is everything to me, with his sandy hair and sparkling blue eyes. He keeps telling me it will all be fine. I pray he’s right as I slip a gold band onto his finger with trembling hands.
Please let me be wrong about what my mother did. Please let Owen be safe.
But when the priest asks if anyone objects, I turn to look at my mother. Her eyes are icy beneath the brim of her hat, and she’s staring right at me.
Is my husband’s life in danger? Or is it mine…?
MY REVIEW
If you like fast-paced, twisty novels, then this is for you! There are multiple mysteries, which I enjoyed. I wondered how they were going to all work out and/or fit together. I had a feeling about one of the characters, but I wasn’t sure if I was right. It took a small minute to get into the book, but once the action starts, you won’t want to stop reading.
I really enjoyed how Hayes wrote every character. They were distinct and you either loved them or hated them. And even though I may have disliked (or even liked) a character, it didn’t mean my mind stayed that way during the whole book. But also, I felt like Hayes did this on purpose.
Over all, this was a great read. I don’t want to say too much more because I don’t want to give anything away. Read the book!
