Dos estrellas y media

Es libro que menos me ha gustado de esta autora… ( )

Overall the book was really good. For me the twist at the end was surprising. I was frustrated with character development. I felt like the females left alot to be desired. Again over all a very good book. ( )

This was another great psychological thriller by Shalini Boland. Dani is consumed with her struggle with infertility. She’s sure her husband Marcus, who owns a car dealership, is keeping secrets from her. Emily is married to Aidan and has a young son named Josh. She’s pregnant with their second child. Aidan, who works for Marcus at his car dealership, reveals to Emily that he is in deep trouble and has been lying to Emily. This entire novel was built upon characters lying to each other, layer after layer, and it was very well told. The beginning of the novel moved a little bit more slowly as the author set the characters up, but once things got established, it was impossible to put down. It’s hard to say too much without giving away spoilers, but Aidan comes home one night with shocking news. He and Emily have to leave suddenly in the night, assume new identities, live off the grid. And someone is hunting for them. What started off as a fairly innocuous… hmm… I wonder what is going to happen here… got CRAZY intense fast and I was on the edge of my seat and things never let up after that. There are even more twists that happen all the way to the end of the book! 5/5 stars.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary ARC copy of this book from Bookouture and NetGalley for review purposes. ( )

Annie comes home from a market trip with her young son, George, only to make a gruesome discovery. Could the perpetrator be the new lodger she and her husband, David, just rented their spare bedroom to?

Emily dreams of one day owning a house where her son, Josh, and the little one on the way can grow up, but when her husband, Aidan, insists on leaving his lucrative job as a luxury car salesman, she senses something more is afoot - even while she harbours a secret of her own. What is Aidan hiding, and will it jeopardize their young family’s future?

Meanwhile, Aidan’s boss, Marcus, finds himself caught between placating his wife Dani’s all-consuming desire to get pregnant and managing the less than savoury group of associates now helping to run his car dealership. How far is Marcus willing to go to prove his love for Dani? Or will his business come first?
