Synopsis

Gripping fiction full of suspense and unexpected twists

One night, Daphne's teenage son Gabriel returns early from a house party, completely distraught. He refuses to let his mother know what's wrong and becomes very reclusive.

But Daphne's son is not her only concern. Far from it. Her husband is acting oddly. And she is getting messages from an ex-partner she'd very much rather forget.

Her family life seems to be unravelling at the seams, so when Gabriel's classmate Leo gets in touch and promises to help her son, she has hopes she can address at least one problem.

But things aren't quite as they appear. Add online shaming, flaming, and cyberbullying to the mix and Daphne's life looks like it's heading for catastrophe . . .

Goodreads review by Anna on December 04, 2021

A tight and compelling domestic thriller that encompasses all the murky and boiling issues of suburban life. A typical family with secrets and tribulations only some are much darker than they first appear. This is the second book I’ve read by this author and it won’t be the last. A fantastic story!......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on October 30, 2024

I’ve enjoyed other books by this author, but had a hard time getting through this one. Felt like a bad Lifetime movie I was reading. I rolled my eyes several times because the main character was just doing very stupid things and it was really just unbelievable. In my opinion: skip this one!!......more

Goodreads review by Jan on February 02, 2022

Great story! I devoured this book in one sitting. Would give 5 stars for the writing and character depth but I was so irritated by the many proofreading errors or editing errors in the book.
