Well, well, well, what do we have here??? A domestic thriller which took my on a thrilling, twisting, and turning, shocking ride.
I picked this up to read, wanting a change from the current books I was reading. I only intended to read a couple of pages before bed but could not put the book down and got to the 38% mark or as I like to call it the “What did I just read!?!” mark. That is when I got the first twist which turned things on its head for me. I thought I had things all figured out. NOPE! Not even close!
Jace Montgomery comes home after a night of entertaining clients to find his wife, Tessa missing. Not just missing but blood on the floor, clump of hair and broken glass type of missing. A call to the police and an investigation that puts him on the top of the suspect list. As the police take a long hard look at Jace, he strongly claims he is innocent and wants his wife back.
Tessa, who has dated a long line of well, less than loving men, has left her abusive husband. She is ready to start over. Hopefully, he will not find her. Hopefully, she can get a job, start over, and be happy. She deserves it after everything she has endured in her life.
This was a fun, entertaining book that shocked me and delivered on shock value. Told in both Tessa and Jace’s POV. We get into both of their minds, learn their secrets, and watch as their stories are told.
This proved to be a fast and satisfying read. Hendricks delivers a smart, clever, and hard to put down, twisty tale! I cannot wait to read what Hendricks writes next! Seriously, what will she come up with next?
