Intense

From the first page to the last you can't put this down . Well written with believable characters and plots. I kept thinking I had read this book before but I know I haven't. Would recommend this for anyone who loves a good thriller.

After 5 yrs. Cheyenne Harrington, & Tyler “Ty” Harrington were getting divorced.
O’Neill, Riley, & Mackinaw. Mr. Michael O’Neill (Cheyenne’s lawyer) assured her she got what she asked for.
He also told her not all men cheat.
Tyler & his new very pregnant GF Elizabeth walked out of the courthouse arm/arm.
Bancroft St. Mrs. Warner (neighbor) saw Cheyenne come home to an empty house so she invited her over to her house.
Raina (wife/mother, Cheyenne’s sister, PT teacher, CFS) came over to comfort Cheyenne.

Then it was Gabrielle “Gaby” Reisen (Cheyenne’s BFF).
Detective Lawrence (Toledo PD) & the CSI arrived.
Someone had slashed Cheyenne’s car tires.
Daniel Schindler (Apt. F) kept coming over to see how she was doing.
After a makeover from Raina Cheyenne was going on her 1st. date with Michael O’Neill.

What was Detective Lawrence telling Cheyenne, & Michael?

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one. All thoughts & opinions are entirely my own.

A very awesome book cover, & great font/writing style. Wow, a very well psychological thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great horror movie, or better yet a mini TV series. It wasn’t as scary as I hoped so I will only rate it at 3/5 stars.

Thank you for the free Author; PDF book

This was a good psychological story. It felt a bit rushed and i think it would have been a bit better as a longer novel than it was. Although i will be seeking out other books by the same author.
