About The Book:
A dream come true, a nightmare that is just beginning...Eve wanted nothing more than to be a mother. She and her husband, Aidan, planned to have a family, but with each devastating miscarriage her hopes dwindled. When she eventually gave birth to her daughter, Kayla, it should have been the happiest time of her life. Instead, it was a waking nightmare for Eve, and one she was desperate to escape. Now, Eve has left all that behind. She pretends that she never had a child, and keeps her secrets close. But someone knows the truth. They know that Eve told a lie, and the clock is ticking before her shocking decision is revealed. Once the story comes out, there’ll be no way out for Eve. If people learn about the crime she covered up, they’ll never look at her the same way again. She must get her little girl back, before it’s too late. If she can’t, running away won’t be an option. This time, Eve will face the consequences, and pay the price she should have paid years ago.
My Review:
I am so sorry to the author but this book was not for me. It was SO repetitive, just regurgitating the same thing over and over. We are told that the mother has committed a crime and yet there wasn't one. There was supposed to be a big shocking twist and again there wasn't one. The plot had so many holes and much of it was so unbelievable that it bordered on ridiculous. I quote the title "An absolutely gripping psychological thriller" it was neither gripping nor a thriller. Another quote "A heart-stopping psychological thriller with an ending you won’t see coming" And yet again neither heart stopping or an ending I won't see coming. These types of books are saturating the genre and I for one am sick of them.
