Excellent story, highly recommend

This book is excellent, well thought out and it unravels at a steady pace, as it’s quite long (although, after the book there is an hour long interview with the author which is very interesting and enlightening). The story is hands down domestic noir with hints of mystery and thrill. You’ll figure out or be able to speculate what’s happening early on but this might be more of a strategic intention by the author. This works for the plot because the mysteries in this book aren’t to find the truth or who did what or what exactly occurred — its suspenseful because you’re on eggshells wondering when and how the characters will react. There were times where the characters were irritating and I couldn’t stand them, but I think it just speaks to good writing as the character development is vast and thorough so all their decisions and actions make sense. Lastly, the narrator does a phenomenal job of narrating and projecting poignant emotions and attitudes.

Don’t miss “I Invited Her In”—a great Book!

Mel invites a friend from her past to come and stay at her house. When Abi comes to stay because she has been hurt by her husband it is exciting and fun until the twists begin. The twists are fantastic! It is a great book-hard to put down and is worth every cent!

WOW, WOW, WOOOOOW (No Spoilers)

A few days ago, I reviewed another book in which I raved about FINALLY getting a 5 star read after being in a 2-3 star slump. I should buy a lotto ticket, because now I've 'read' two 5 star books in a week!

So many levels of crazy! Really enjoyed this book.

The characters in the family environment

The story is enjoyable and has a satisfying ending. I appreciate the honesty of the family environment.

Moving so slowly

I kept wondering when the story would get deeper, but it didn’t. I wanted the psychological issue exposed and divulged sooner.
