Great read

I really enjoyed this writer’s take on childhood trauma and how it bleeds into adulthood. The last chapter felt a bit rushed but overall I enjoyed how it ended.

Tell Me Lies

Hannah, Sam and their daughter Lilly take a holiday. Hannah is trying to decide can she forgive, does she trust Sam or is he not who she thought he was when they got married. Hannah questions her paranoia or is it just her past and the new medication causing side effects. Then there’s Amy and Adam, are they truly friends of the family.

Enjoyed it tremendously.

Increasing intensity no idea how it will end. Always love checking in with Melanie and Matthew. Then loving the end. Perfect voice.

Good suspense. Well written

Excellent read by a great author. Just when you think you've figured ot pit another twist comes.

I loved the readers accent, fit the character perfectly.

Good story, nice twist. Happy endings are always good. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Save your credit, skip this one

I was barely able to finish this one. It felt like it dragged on and on. There also seemed to be several pieces of the story that didn’t have much to do with anything (maybe they were meant to be red herrings).
