It is her family home, and she is going to keep it. It was where she grew up, where her children grew up, why shouldn’t she keep it? But there is someone who feels entitled to the home. Someone who wants her out. Someone who will do anything to claim it.
This was a deliciously fun and entertaining book. I loved the drama of it, the angst, the characters, the fighting. This was a fast read which kept me engaged, turning the pages, and guessing what would happen next. There are some twists, turns and reveals along the way. With each twist and tiny reveal, my enjoyment grew. Watson knows how to dazzle and wow readers. Are her characters being over the top or behaving as someone wronged would behave? That is for readers to decide. I loved that there were likeable, questionable, and extremely unlikeable characters in this book. This kept me on my toes while trying to decide the motivation of certain characters.
Will the ending blow you away? It did me.
Fast paced, gripping, entertaining and dramatic!
