Summary

A dream come true; a nightmare that is just beginning

Eve wanted nothing more than to be a mother. She and her husband, Aidan, planned to have a family, but with each devastating miscarriage her hopes dwindled. When she eventually gave birth to her daughter, Kayla, it should have been the happiest time of her life. Instead, it was a waking nightmare for Eve and one she was desperate to escape.

Now, Eve has left all that behind. She pretends that she never had a child and keeps her secrets close. But someone knows the truth. They know that Eve told a lie, and the clock is ticking before her shocking decision is revealed. Once the story comes out, there will be no way out for Eve. If people learn about the crime she covered up, they’ll never look at her the same way again. She must get her little girl back, before it’s too late. If she can’t, running away won’t be an option. This time, Eve will face the consequences and pay the price she should have paid years ago.

A heart-stopping psychological thriller with an ending you won’t see coming from #1 bestselling author Kathryn Croft, perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, C. L. Taylor and K. L. Slater.

Not bad

While it was a good listen and fairly good story I'm unsure as to how the author arrived at the speech of a two and half year old toddler. The child presented with the vocabulary of probably a five to seven year old. Maybe an oversight on the author's part but it was quite off putting when listening to the child character.

Medioca

Repeated the same sentences over and over. Weak storyline, weak characters- not for me. A lot of hours of literally nothing occurring.

Emotional, uncomfortable, raw

Emotional, uncomfortable, raw listen. Trigger warning: post natal depression and miscarriages.
Good performance by narrator.

Kept me guessing

Really good story. Didn’t see the end coming at all. My only small criticism was one element of the narration which was very good apart from all the male except Jamie were given posh voices which irritated me a little
