About this listen

You thought you had escaped him. Until he proposed to your daughter.

"There’s someone I want you to meet," Belle says, as a man draws up to her side. He’s tall with dark hair and stubble on his square jaw. He’s not exactly smiling, but the corner of his mouth curls upwards as he slides his hand around my daughter’s waist.

I grab my husband’s arm to steady myself, as the room spins around me.

I stare into the man’s eyes–jet black. Nothing and everything hidden behind them.

Fear prickles my skin as I remember what he did.

How I only just escaped.

All the lies I’ve had to tell since.

"I want you to meet Jack," Belle says, brimming with excitement. "He’s my fiancé." She rests her head on his shoulder. "Isn’t it exciting? We’re engaged!"

Fear hammers in my chest. I have to stop this.

My daughter’s life is in danger, and it’s all because of me.…
A totally gripping psychological thriller from an Amazon No. 1 best seller that will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and have you gasping at the twists.

Great story. Well written. And an ending you won’t see coming. Couldn’t put it down.

You won’t pick the twist!

It was overly dramatic and very unrealistic! Struggled through to the end and did enjoy the twist

I struggled through

It was good enough to keep me listening, but a large part of that was due to me hoping I was wrong about the twist. I feel this could have been done way better if the author hadn’t made the twist SO obvious. A change in wording here and there would have made a big difference in hiding the twist in my opinion.

Predicted the “twist” in the first few chapters

Great Book

While it drag a little in the middle and I wanted to slap the daughter, the story picked up again and then moved along quickly. I enjoyed the twists, drama and ending.
Well narrated too.

Loved it.

Ridiculous premise and pit holes you could drive a tank thru, with a very obvious final “twist” long before it was revealed - don’t waste your time and money

Awful
