Felicia, a lawyer by day volunteers at a crisis center after losing her sister from su*c*ide. Felicia gets a call one night from a distraught teenager threatening to π« herself after a traumatic experience. Felicia is drawn to this girl giving her personal cell phone number to her. After earning the girls trust, she starts to gather evidence that the situation hits a little closer to home than she really thought.
"Mothers protect their children at all costs, but what if your child was the one others needed protection from?"
Read if You Want:
Thriller
Fast pace
Dark events
Audiobook only
This book gripped me from the very beginning. The audio was so so good. Though it was a thriller, I was able to easily guess the ending which made me rate it at a three star. I liked the writing and the storyline. Touched on some hard subjects where you could tell the author could relate through the writing. She really brought out the emotions and loneliness you could feel after a traumatic situation like this. She did this with care and finesse which I appreciated.
Make sure you check trigger warnings because though written with respect and care, the subjects written about could be hard to read for some.
