Really well done. The book starts with a murder and I was not sure who was perp and who was victim until the end.

A Psychological Thriller Like No Other!
Families are complicated. Judi has always been the matriarch of her family. It has always been her way or the highway. Her son Ben has relied on her heavily in caring for his two sons since the loss of his wife Louise. Caring for her family is her reason for living. One day, Ben starts dating a beautiful, vivacious and extremely mysterious young woman named Amber. He falls head over heels. Things move quickly. Judi is not pleased.
You see, Amber is not what she seems, though Judi is the only one who notices, much to Judi’s chagrin. In fact, Amber is intent on tearing Ben’s family apart and it’s working. Judi’s life is in shambles and Amber couldn’t be more thrilled. Don’t count Judi out however, for she has something Amber does not. Life experience.
K. L. Slater has written characters that are so real – it’s as if you either know them or almost as if you are them. Both Judi and Amber evoke a lot of emotion from the readers.
This book grips you. You feel anxiety, dread, fear, the works.
