Very well written and plotted story about secrets....all kinds of secrets.

The characters were all well rounded and while some I liked and some I didn't, they were the overriding thing that pulled me into the story. I felt sorry for Zara because all the focus was on her brother and sadly, I think that might have been why she went off the rails.

This is an engrossing story, filled with foreshadowing as to what the big secret was. It wasn't difficult to figure out, but it was a good read as the final secret unfolded slowly throughout the book.

I think this is the first book I've read by Carol Mason, but I will be reading more of her work in the future.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for granting my request for an ARC. All thoughts in this review are my own and freely given.

Definitely a novel that had me hooked from the first page!
There are so many secrets! None that are "little"!
The Rossi family is crumbling and the "closet skeletons" are beginning to escape for all of this family!
One of my thoughts as I continued on with this story : "Hell hath no fury like a Mother protecting her Children". Emily will Not let her daughter ruin her life as she learn's of Zara's secrets. There is nothing that will stop her from keeping Zara safe!
Zara who has always been a "good" kid, has gone way off the beaten path and made friends with a girl named Bethany who is nothing but dangerous as we find out.
This is truly an intense, well written book with suspense, anger, crisis and family all rolled into it!
I truly will look for other of Carol Mason's books! Excellent!
