This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through to the end. It’s a story about revenge, a mother’s love for her child, and the abuse of power and privilege.
Bree Cabbat grew up poor but thinks she hits the jackpot when she meets Trey, a wealthy and successful lawyer. When their infant son is kidnapped when her back is turned, and the kidnapper tells her that she’ll kill the baby unless Bree does exactly as she’s told, Bree is willing to do almost anything. But following one direction leads down a rabbit hole that Bree never saw coming, and while she has help from a couple of allies, she still is forced to watch as her entire life collapses around her.
I know this is a thriller, but it asks a serious question that I’ve rarely seen covered in other books: How would you react if you found out your husband isn’t who he told you he is? And I’m not referring to a case of mistaken identity, here, but rather what if it turns out your husband, the person you’ve chosen to live your life with and create a family with, is actually someone else’s bad guy? And what would you do for your child?
While I found some of the plot a bit drawn out, and the ending very convenient — at the end of the day it fits squarely in its genre — I enjoyed this one. But know that this is not a light thriller; it deals with some heavy themes.
