The author does a phenomenal job writing about the heavy topic of domestic abuse. Our FMC escapes from her horrific husband, who is a well loved DA, and runs as far as she can. You feel on edge through this book through all of her struggles trying to survive and keep hidden. She finally lands with an older woman who hires her as a helpful assistant and is safe for a few months. The woman’s Grandson shows up and over times falls for the FMC.
There are so many twists in this book that it really keeps you on edge. Some I had a feeling would happen and a few I thought WTF.
Would I recommend this to my mom? No. But I would recommend this to my fellow dark readers.
