About the Book:
Ava's life is the kind other people envy: loving husband; great kids; beautiful house. Until the night that a violent home invasion plunges her world into chaos. In the aftermath of the attack, Ava needs answers to two questions. Who has targeted her family? And why? But things aren't adding up. She is starting to suspect that someone knows more than they are letting on. That everything she thought she knew about the people closest to her was a lie. Ava needs to know what happened that night. And to do that she must decide who she can really trust. Because she's about to discover that her family is in more danger than she ever imagined.

I really enjoyed this book. It was creative, well thought out and well written. I loved how each chapter ended leaving me not able to stop there. The characters were real and fully developed. I shared their fears, joys, suspicions, betrayal, hope, goodness, and lies...you cannot trust anyone. This story absorbed all of my senses. The emotions of each character whether they were in the whole story or only a page or two was written so well that I felt like I was watching the story instead of reading it. The description of details in the surroundings like flowers, the driving conditions and even hygiene made me believe I could see, feel, smell and touch them.

Everyone seems to be hiding something and the suspects in the case change with each turn of the page. The surprise ending is rare for me because generally I can figure out who the culprit is. Not this time, I was intrigue until the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a great mystery with interesting characters and lots of plot twists. My first book by this author and I am looking forward to reading more from Sarah Alderson.

Thank you NetGalley, Sarah Alderson, Hodder & Stoughton and Mulholland Books for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
