About this listen

The sensational, edge of your seat psychological thriller from bestselling author Gemma Rogers

Appearances can be deceiving...

After a whirlwind romance and three years of marriage, I’d tried to be a good wife.

But Tom, my husband, is always watching, controlling my every move. He chooses my clothes, my hairstyle, even instructing what and how much I’m allowed to eat – just ten measly mouthfuls.

I’ve become isolated from those I love, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfil his every whim.

My identity along with my life is long gone.

I am slowly suffocating but I know Tom will never, ever let me leave alive.

A chance encounter with Savannah changes everything. Tom couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. Could she be my saviour?

Could my husband’s desire for another woman be the answer to my prayers, to my freedom?

Bestseller Gemma Rogers is back with another gripping, page-turning thriller. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.

Finding an escape route.

Took me down an emotional road with Chole. I admired her strength. I wasn't aware how deep this book would take me and explored my emotions. it was interesting to listen to each of the characters but despised that of Tom's.

So compelling

Wonderful narration, and such a great story, with many twists and turns. Some fascinating characters. Sadly, too many Tom types out there. Highly recommended.

Got into it!

A really good listen. Kept me interested throughout which has alluded me in the recent books I have listened to.
Good storyline. Got to know each character well. Only downside…the narration is really irritating.

At their best!

By far up there with her best work, Gemma knits this plot into a complex set of side stories so well. Engaged from the off to the prologue.

And I cannot leave this review without huge congratulations to Imogen for her reading. Not just of the story but of her considerable story telling improvement. If Im honest, I stopped listening to books narrated by her for a while but she is at another level now. Brilliantly skilled telling. Bloody bravo Imogen 👏

Suspense

Gemma is a new author to me,but will certainly be listening to more of her titles. Whilst this is a work of fiction some elements will certainly ring true to any woman stuck in a controlling relationship. Suspenseful is an understatement . Fantastic

Hard going

I found the narration infuriating. The book would’ve been read in half the time if the narrator spoke at a regular speed. I found the story farcical and the ending was disappointing and predictable. There were loose ends left, well, loose. It’s not awful but definitely not great.
