About the Book

When my husband went missing I was desperate to get him home. Now I know his secrets, I wish he’d never come back…

I hate when Wyatt is away for work. The cold bed. Dinner alone. Comforting our little boy, telling him Daddy will be back to tuck him into bed again soon. But when Wyatt misses his flight and his cell is disconnected, panic takes over.

After seven sleepless nights, tossing and turning as I imagine the absolute worst, he walks back into our home. I breathe a sigh of relief. Until I realize that everything has changed.

I want to believe Wyatt’s explanations. The work trip. The “stolen” phone. But I see the strange, jagged scar across his side even though he tries to keep it hidden. And when I start digging, I uncover more than signs of an affair. It’s so, so much worse…

His secrets have become my nightmares, threatening my son and our unborn child in ways I couldn’t imagine. I can’t confront him. Not without exposing the lies I’ve buried for years. About who I really am and what I’ve done.

And it seems the past has caught up with us. Because one moment, I’m holding my son’s tiny hand as we walk around the mall. The next he is nowhere to be seen.

If my husband had never come back, would my son still be safe? And how are we meant to get him back when our deadliest secrets are yet to be uncovered?

My Review

Reinard writes a fast paced, on the edge of your seat, keep you guessing, refreshing thriller. There is so much happening and so much action that will keep you turning page after page until you all of a sudden realize that you have finished the book! This book is chock full of drama, secrets, and lies. Just when you think it’s only Wyatt that is hiding secrets and lying, all of a sudden you find out that Rowen has secrets as well! Some of the characters are not what they seem, it really is just a very twisty book!

I will say that this book should come with a trigger warning for organ harvesting and child abduction. However, these things really happen, so while this is an entertaining thriller, I do think that it touches on a subject that isn’t talked about much.

Anyway, thriller lovers are going to love this book. The ending is literally unguessable. So, go ahead, I dare you! Pick this up, read it, and try to figure it all out!
