Review:
This book is chock full of secrets, seduction and scandal. The best 3 ‘s’ for a good mystery book. Add to that a good dose of obsession, and this book has it all. The book jumps right into the life of Julia, a broken soul who’s slowly recovered and become a valued member of one of New York’s best hospitals. She works with children and is making great strides in their development, especially the autistic children.
Her world seems to be back on the right path after a horrific accident in her past. And yet, not all is as it seems. She learns her father isn’t who she thought, her sister has deeper secrets than Julia’s, and there is an ominous caller breathing into her phone.
Julia’s well controlled life is about to spiral out of control, and she doesn’t even know why. As the story unfolds, there are more twists and turns that bring her to question her sanity, her growth, and all that she has known.
Just when you think you’ve gotten it figured out, Gaylord throws another ratchet into the mix.
This is the first book I’ve read of Gaylord’s, but I doubt it will be the last. While there is a lot of sadness in this story, she keeps you coming back to find out what will happen, how strong her characters are despite their faults, and it feels like you could know these people in life. I highly recommend this book to all.
