About the Book
Since the death of my first husband, I know how deadly love can be…
When Theo died, I swore I would never remarry. But then I meet Parker, and I find I can’t say no to a second chance at happiness.
But after we get engaged, strange things start happening. I find Theo’s sweater hanging in the wardrobe, and his wedding band on the bathroom sink. Our old wedding album is on the coffee table, and I can smell my late husband’s cologne in the air.
Parker is sure it’s my daughter Sadie playing a practical joke, still hurting after the death of her father. But I start to wonder if it’s my in-laws, angry about my new marriage. Then I become terrified it’s something darker…
When a photo of my late husband and my daughter appears on my bedside table, her smiling face scratched out with something sharp, a shiver runs down my spine. Is someone coming for my child?
My world is crumbling. But whoever is behind this doesn’t know the lies I buried with my first marriage. They don’t know the dark secret I have hidden in the attic. And if someone is threatening my daughter, they have no idea how far I’ll go to keep her safe…
My Review
This book had me. It sucked me in, took a hold on me, and it didn’t let me go until I had finished the book. It is chock full of suspense, mystery, and thrills.
This book is told in alternating timelines, what is happening in the present and what happens before Theo’s death. It gives the reader a glimpse into how we got here, and it slowly gives us breadcrumbs into what happened in Anna’s past. I made a connection early on that I’m not sure everyone will make, but that didn’t take away from how great the book was at all. I still didn’t know why and I still didn’t know how it was all going to end.
I enjoyed Anna for the most part. I will say, I found it hard to accept that she moved on so fast after her husband died. Even if she was “out” of the relationship before he passed away, she had a daughter to think about also. I don’t know, it just didn’t sit the right way with me. But to each their own, and some do make that decision. She was a believable character.
The was simply fantastic. It was packed full of action and I wasn’t quite sure where the author was going to take it. I literally couldn’t stop reading it. And I loved the author’s choice with how this ended. It was the perfect ending for this book and these characters.
So, what are you waiting for – go check this one out! It’s out now!
