Irreparable Deeds

Laura is no one’s idea of a good mother, she self medicates with alcohol and is leaving her 11 year old daughter to raise herself. But now Laura has to return to Rome, Georgia, the place where all her nightmares began. With her daughter in tow, Laura arrives to find nothing is as she had believed and that her father’s death was not what she had been led to believe either. This book is one hell of a ride! Dark and Gothic, it’s a well written summer thriller to read under the covers

This book covered all the gambits of family relationships. Secrets, Lies, Betrayal, Alcoholism, and Forgiveness. As Laura Hallow returns to her childhood home with her 11 year old daughter Danlyn, as a last resort, to fight her addiction to alcohol. She has used alcohol to block out the childhood she never had because her mother was emotionally unavailable and her father was an alcoholic. Now she is pregnant and no where to go. Can she face those demons and make a life for herself and her daughter. I could not put this down and cannot wait for this author's next book.

Although Laura only wants to forget her terrible childhood she returns with her 11-year-old daughter Danlyn to her mother when she's pregnant and she has nowhere else to go. She hopes her mother's strictness and coldheartedness would help her to stop drinking. But what she finds is worse than everything she could imagine.
Slowly comes to light what has been hidden for years. The truth about her family is a nightmare.

Insane relationships and broken souls wherever you look. And Sloane Kady is able to bring this incredible horror to life.

A creepy book you need strong nerves to read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved everything about this book, the plot twists, the characters, the style of writing.. Each and every one of these twists and turns were so unpredictable and surprising I had to read the whole book in one sitting. It has it all Secrets, Lies, Betrayal. The strength and courage of Laura's determination to uncover the truth is pure brilliance. Cannot wait read more by this author, hard to believe this was her debut.

This novel takes the reader into the ugly side of families, particularly into the rotted heart of a mother whose poisonous soul has left her daughter a wreck. When we meet Laura, she is a drunkard using her daughter and pregnancy to keep her current man. She isn't the most loving, nurturing mother either- and it isn't long before she realizes in order to get clean she will have to return to her home in Georgia where her wicked mother Vivian resides. Seeing the terror she has created in her own daughter ( 11 year old Danlyn) too closely mirrors the evil of her own mother . Returning to her famiy home is going to set off events that will uncover secrets about her father's death and even darker skeletons will rise. Danlyn is shocked to find herself living in a home of wealth compared to the places she has lived all through the years, and even more confused that she has a grandmother she never met. It is one of the most uncomfortable relationships I have read, the time she spends with her grandmother and yet never quite relaxes into a bond. There is nothing more chilling than people like Vivian, who do exist in reality and are a special sort of masked monster.
The novel has so many twists and lies and strange truths that I never could have predicted. It keep me engaged and confused, a healthy recipe for an errie story. This family is a psychological train wreck. It's interesting how controlling people create an atmosphere of terror, the sort of people who make you alter your behavior as you try to keep the peace. Vivian is such a person, possibly a sociopath! Disturbingly good!

A book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A lot of family secrets and very scarey!

This is an Incredible story I just loved it :)
Laura is a mother with alcohol problems she also has a daughter who mostly raises herself.
She is at the end of the road and has to return to her childhood home in Rome,Georgia because she is pregnant.
She dreads going back to see her mother Vivian who has always been wicked to her and no time at all for her but she has no choice. Her Father was an alcoholic but had died but nothing is what is seems.You are drawn into the story with all its twists and turns and have to keep turning them pages to see what happens next.
A really great First novel I can not wait for more books from this Author i will be first in line to get a copy.

This book had me on the edge of my seat. It was a great read, with lots of questions being asked. I am going to tell everyone looking for a new book to check this out.

This was the first novel of Sloane Kady I've read, but certainly not the last!!!! Irreparable deeds captured my attention from the start, and I couldn't put this book down. The characters of the characters were beautifully written, and I felt as if I knew them by the end of the book. I love reading intelligent mystery novels, and this one certainly qualified!!! Thanks for the opportunity to read this by Netgalley, and I can't wait to read the next one!

Devastatingly, hauntingly beautiful.

Secrets are heavy and when you bury them you often bury yourself.

Irreparable Deeds is a story about many things; secrets and lies - betrayal and addiction - love and forgiveness.

Some people think that hitting rock bottom means there is nowhere left to fall and the only way is back up. That doesn't mean the climb is any easier than the fall.

The author shed light on a dark part of life that everyone wants to gossip about but no one wants the details. This was a very sad but very beautiful story. A story that gives hope to life. That even when you are beat down physically, emotionally and mentally you can overcome and conquer.

This book delivers a message that reaches out and holds you; always keep fighting.
