Publisher's summary

There’s something wrong with this family.

Mary Shaw’s the doting mother, showering her children with gifts from the heart and the pocketbook. Wes Shaw’s different than his siblings - darker, awkward, the perpetual ne’er-do-well.

The Shaws have survived divorce and death, but something sinister is in their midst. The truth threatens to tear them apart. The lies threaten to tear them apart.

There’s no neutral ground, no place to hide. Ultimately, each family member must make a choice with irreversible consequences.

Adult language and sexual content.

WOW

If you are looking for a great book with a jaw dropping reaction, then this is it. Mary is a charmer that's all I'm saying. Don't hesitate you won't regret it. 😀

Throughly enjoyed this book!

Great job again Mr. Williams!
It's a peek inside the life a sociopath. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster ride! I really like books that pull you into the characters. I felt real sympathy for Wes, one of the main characters of the book. His journey for truth was exciting, heartbreaking, and enlightening.
The author writes true to real life situations and isn't afraid to offend. I appreciate that in a writer, because life is sometimes offensive. I like it to be told how it is.
The narrators are top notch as well!
Another great book Phil!

This story will keep you thinking afterwards

I listen to the Audio book and also re-read some of the passages in the Kindle version.
There is some sexual situation in the beginning of the book but you really need to get past that. This book is well worth reading.
I was a bit disappointed by the ending but only because I wished for a better outcome but I have to agree that the ending is more realistic in real live then the one I would have wished for.
I think Phil Williams does a great job in describing the family members and how they relate to each other. You see Wes slowly becoming the mature adult he should be.

Wish I could get that 7 hours back

The story premise was good, execution was poor. The mom should have gotten her just.

Author - Narrator - Story Line Beautiful

The book was the correct length, no irrelevant descriptions or over the top characters to take away from the story. This book, for me, was perfect. I listened to the book in two days - it took two days because I reluctantly fell asleep. I'd never heard of this author before but I hope Phil Williams wrote other books because I'd absolutely love to listen to more.

Refreshing story line

Great look into the mind of a sociopath and how they blend into society unnoticed. Sociopaths are masters of manipulation and are usually charming and intelligent and more often than not go unpunished for their sins against others.

The author was very accurate in his portrayal of what having a family member who is a sociopath in the family does to a family. A rift is usually the end result because at some point each member needs to chooses to keep drinking the Kool Aid or their own mental well-being. Because with a sociopath, it’s always about them and giving up the Kool Aid is harder than it looks. I have a sibling it took decades to accept is a sociopath; I can’t imagine the damage having a Sociopath for a mother would cause.

Excellent book; well worth the credit.

I️ couldn’t put it down

I️ really enjoyed how the story took place in an area familiar to me. Maybe I️ am biased but I️ could see the stories characters and places in my mind very vividly. I️ look forward to reading my next Phil M. Williams book.

Interesting

I found this book interesting and I listened to it quickly. I thought the male narrator was great but not the female. When she spoke the parts of Mary they sounded annoyingly contrived. It distracted from the book so that I wished I had read vs listened.
