Leah has moved house, finally away from her conniving, abusive husband to start again with the children. A house that requires work and has a wonderful secret walled garden- perfect. Perfect until the new neighbours move in and Rexxy turns out to be Craig- her ex-husband. What the hell is he doing there and why is he next door? Very soon he is up to his old tricks making life hell for Leah.
I very quickly found myself enveloped between the pages and turning ever faster with this. To me the sign of a good author that can build the tension nicely and give that air of uncertainty so that the reader wonders what is about to happen next. The book starts with an incident after the house moves and then goes back to the beginning so to speak so we know part of an outcome. Twists and turns along the way built the tension even more and keep the reader guessing. A wonderfully entertaining gripping read.

This book was sent to me by Netgalley for review. This is a story that moves slowly, but it is still a can't put down mystery...family dynamics...friendship...love and romance...ex-husband living next door...connecting walls...taking over the children...deceit...lies...frightening days and nights...this author is talented and gifted at weaving a story that intrigues...although the characters are far from likable...they are what makes up the story...the setting is not as important as the people in the book. What will happen next? At times, I became so aggravated at the main character and at her ex-husband...not to mention the woman he lived with...and the mom...another story...the poor dad...the children...what a story...reads like true life...but it is fiction...enjoy...

Another winner! I read this book and literally two hours. The twist interns were enough to make me gasp for breathe. You are absolutely going to love this book but you may need to read it with a defibrillator.
