    No one is good enough for her son…

    As a single mother, Annie has an especially close relationship with her son, Ben. They have always been together. Just the two of them. So, when Ben brings home his mysterious beautiful new wife, Daisy, immediately Annie doesn’t trust her. Who is this woman who has taken her son away from her? And what is she hiding?

    She’ll protect him with her life…

    When Ben disappears, suddenly Annie and Daisy are all the other one has. Alone in Annie’s big, remote house, just the two of them, the tension is rising. And like any protective mother, Annie will stop at nothing to expose her new daughter in law, and the secrets she is hiding…

      A solid thriller with well-drawn characters and a gripping plot. Well-read too.

      Who is Grace? I figured it out but why did I have too. I didn't like or care about the characters. The pivotal character Daisy is nausiatingly dumb, seriously dumb. Listening to the book was equivalent to listening to a relative talk about her life of drama. You hear the words but sit falling asleep.

      Well…. That was unexpected.

      Great book and definitely will recommend to my friends
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story and always kept you wanted to hear just a bit more. I couldn’t put it down till the end. I read it stray through. It’s hard to find a book with a story line that hasn’t been told before whit this one was different and I loved it. If your looking for a story that hasn’t been told before this is it, I know you will enjoy it.
    • 2/5
      Was this supposed to be suspenseful? Not very well written.
    • 5/5
      Compelling! I listened to the entire book in one day!!
    • 5/5
      Kept me on my toes right to the end. Good read.
    • 5/5
      I highly enjoyed this book from start to finish .
    • 5/5
      Great listen! I almost passed it up because of previous reviews. I’m so glad I decided to proceed to listen!
    • 4/5
      Pretty good, a lot better than I was expecting after reading a number of negative reviews. Kept my interest throughout and kept me guessing as well as to what was really going on. Granted it is a little far fetched, but I think books like this need to be taken with a grain of salt and suspension of reality, to sit back and allow yourself to just be entertained!! Worth a listen...☺️
    • 5/5
      It was surprising and I didn’t see this end coming .. totally loved it !
    • 5/5
      Love it. Love the ode to Stephen King’s Misery. Great thriller.
    • 4/5
      A great book with a twist. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.
    • 1/5
      Wow. I really didn’t like this book. The lead characters were off the rails and I didn’t buy any of it. I finished it in the hopes it would somehow redeem itself. Alas, it did not.
    • 4/5
      One I would recommend, but I saw myself predicting what would happen. Still has a very interesting storyline.
    • 4/5
      It was well written but rather long-it also started off a bit slow. The twist was great and the narrators did a wonderful job.
    • 2/5
      the story was way too drawn out.
      Story did not get intetesting until the last 4 chapters and this book was lllllllong!
    • 2/5
      Not too badly written, but much too self indulgent in description. BUT the most damning omission: why did Ben leave Daisy if it wasn’t because of her past?
      Glaring mistake!!!!
    • 4/5
      Started out slow but turned into a twist thriller. Liked the narrators.
    • 5/5
      Riveting and a page turner. A little rushed at the end.
    • 5/5
      A big twist at the end! Good character development. Enjoyed it.
    • 3/5
      Very disconnected plot. Was difficult follow. I did finish listening, but was a disappointing ending.
    • 5/5
      Didn’t want to stop listening to find out what would happen.
    • 5/5
      The narrator was amazing ! Really enjoyed listening to this audiobook
    • 3/5
      Should the title be Mother In law? The story revolves around her.
    • 2/5
      This is a formulaic and predictable book that I literally figured out within the first several minutes. If you’re a fan of mind numbing Lifetime movies you might enjoy this, although you’ve read or seen it many times before. If you like a book that makes you think and truly engrosses you, this is not for you.
    • 1/5
      Sorry I couldn't finish reading this book. I did keep trying, but it was slow
    • 3/5
      The story was formulaic. I knew the outcome after listening to a few chapters. Too many unanswered questions. What happened to Mike? Alice? Rory? What was the favor Jenny had asked of Grace? Who was on the news that made Annie anxious? How had the blunt force trauma occurred to Eve? What happened to Daisy’s parents? Daisy was not the most likable character. Ben lacked development. I wish there had been more time with Eve and Patrick - THEY were interesting.
