A great read about childhood and adulthood fears and how they intertwine in life. Sparse clean style of writing with lots of great detail. The story follows the lie of a child of fear grows into a wife of fear. Take the time

One thing is for sure : the book opens with a bang. I had to read the first sentence twice because I thought I misread, but no. The second time the sentence was still the same. And the bangs keep on coming. When you think you have figured it out... well, think again. The twists and turns leave you open mouthed. I loved the story. Emotion, suspense, love, hate, deceit, .. It simply has it all. For sure, one of my favourite books.

The concept of this book is great and, barring a couple of stretches of the imagination, well plotted.

Hannah has escaped her abusive father, married the man of her dreams and lives a lavish lifestyle. Her sister has not fared quite as well and has two children by different fathers which she is raising alone. Hannah and Julie are close, having survived a traumatic childhood and Hannah helps her sister with money, cars and what have you. One day, the sister, Justine, calls and asks if Hannah or her husband might have an old laptop she could borrow as hers has died. Hannah finds an old laptop in her husband's desk but attached is a jump drive. Unsure of it's importance, Hannah plugs in the drive and is shocked to see a pornographic video in which her husband is taking part.

As she watches, horrified, her husband, Dallin, walks into the room, grabs her and tries to choke her. Hannah is frightened and in the next couple of days, her world begins to deteriorate as she is followed, threatened and, eventually, rescued by a man named Black who follows her from a hotel and sees her being attacked.

Hannah, her life in danger, has no choice but to trust Black and he does his best to protect her - maybe. It's all mysterious and crazy - until it gets even crazier. Some new cliffhanger is waiting around every corner and Black and Hannah make it through to the bitter end. You'll have to read it to find out what happens after the bitter end.

What a thrilling and poignant ride Wilson takes the reader on in this superbly written book! I was chilled, moved, gutted, and still affected. Can't wait to read more Wilson books! Love the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest.

Great book. Excellent storyline and wonderful main characters. I would highly recommend this book.
