Literally felt like I held on to my seatbelt while reading this one! The home invasion, that feeling of urgency and fear through jade’s perspective left me diving in hard. I was also a bit annoyed by how scared she was, compared to how bold her daughter was.
The secrets about her husband were revealed in bits and pieces, so I kind of knew what was coming in the end.

I don't know...honestly....I found this to be pretty boring. It's extremely repetitive and anti-climactic in my opinion.

4.5 stars. There was a lot of tension with the hostage situation, the ending was heartbreaking for a multitude of reasons- the dying girl, the dad desperately trying to save her, the lying husband who will now miss out on a large portion of his kids lives. But there were some great twists.

I really enjoyed this story.
There are three MC's, a husband with a secret, a man trying to tear him down for that secret and a mother determined to keep her children safe during a home invasion.
I absolutely loved the mother, Jade. She's everything a mother should be in such a terrible situation. But it also showed her in a different light of not remembering people she had previously met that are not as fortunate as her and her family. Not necessarily intentionally, though. Sometimes people are well meaning and life gets in the way. But in the case of this home invader, it showed the dark side of not following through with promises on both her and her husband's part.
The story told througbt he husband was from him being in jail for doing some shady shit his wife didn't know about.
And the story through the home invader was messed up, but showed again that people will do anything for their children.
I liked watching all the sides come out and how the story came together. Let me tell you, the daughter was one tough cookie! Loved her the most I think.
I'll definitely be reading anything else from this author. The writing, storyline and the lessons throughout were so well done.
