A look at just how far a mother's love will go. This book terrified me, as a mother in many ways- with what happened with Chloe to who Hunter really was.

I finished a Lucinda Berry book the other day, and after looking a little more into her background, I was curious to read more. This was my third book by her, and I’ll definitely be consuming more! (Though I may have to wait a bit..these are heavy stories). 

It appears that this book was only released on audio? Also, it is performed by AJ Cook who I love on Criminal Minds! Honestly though, I didn’t recognize her by voice. It wasn’t until I saw her name on the “cover” that I realized. I listened to some bits again and I could sort of convince myself it sounded like her, but really I thought she sounded so different!

Spoilers to follow: I did see the ending coming in this one, in that I assumed Hunter was guilty. What I didn’t know was whether mom would figure it out, or more unlikely, whether mom would turn him in. I was really hoping she would, despite how difficult that would be to do to a loved one.

I only have one word to describe this audiobook; heartbreaking.

Firstly, I will say that the narrator was amazing in this audiobook. All the emotions were potrayed so well. I was truly engaged.

This is more of a suspense than a thriller. Saying more would be a spoiler this 4-hour audiobook.

I’m looking forward to reading more from Lucinda Berry.
