Nina always wanted a child of her own. Now she has one.

Nina feels trapped. Her partner Gary is controlling, his daughter hates her, and she’s recently suffered a miscarriage. Just as her life seems hopeless, Alex, the son she gave up for adoption nearly 20 years ago, shows up at her door. Somehow, he has tracked her down.

Their reunion is everything Nina has hoped for. Now she has a child of her own, someone in the family who really cares about her. But honeymoons are brief and this one is no exception.Far from welcoming him, Gary is hostile to Alex and as their arguments become increasingly vicious, it soon becomes clear that Nina must choose between them.

But how will the abusive Gary react if she rejects him? And can she trust Alex? Is he really the loving son he seems to be – or does he have a sinister agenda of his own?

My Thoughts 

Well this turned into twisty thriller/ horror real quick and I was not disappointed.

I liked how the descriptive the author was without burdening too much information that you got bored. In doing it kept the characters moving along and made them more interesting.  

The difference in characters and their behaviours kept your guessing a bit to what was happening. Some parts of the plot were slightly predictable but the book was never boring. 

It had a good twist at the end and kept you invested .

I always like reading epilogues in book as I feel they help round off the book and the author did just that. 

Looking forward to reading what the author has planned next!
