I really enjoyed this book. Family secrets are the main theme of this book. The author did a great job with the twists and turns going on. There's a lot crammed in to this, but it's a great read.

this book had a bunch of twists and turns that kept me interested in reading this, i liked the characters and it had what i was looking for in a suspenseful book.

Andi and her mother have always been a close-knit family. Andi never knew who her father was, but Uncle Scott was always there to help out. Then her mother, Delilah, gets a mysterious phone call and is shutting Andi out of her life and won't answer her phone calls or text. The Gorman family is rich and powerful but evil except for one son, Scott. Scott and Delilah fall in love and have a daughter, Andi, that they keep hidden from his family. Scott is on his deathbed, he sets things in motion to provide for those he loves. This causes many problems for all concerned, mostly Andi, her mother, and Scott's lawyer. There are many secrets and half-truths. As Andi is trying to find out what is wrong with her mother this causes more chaos for her. It also puts her and others in danger. Can things ever be righted again? An outstanding story that proves you can't always judge families by what they want to 'show the world'. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley.

This one really didn't go in the directions i was expecting. It was full of just enough twists that what you expected didn't always happen when you expected it. While twisty and a little over the top, the story line flowed nicely so you didn't get overwhelmed.

There was a lot crammed into this book! Family intrigue mixed with sordid mystery made for an engaging story. The writing style isn’t to my usual taste, being kind of dramatic while I prefer a straighter style, but it fit the plot-line well as that was also pretty dramatic!

The concept of the book was interesting and kept me reading until the end. I was curious to see the outcome of the father/uncle/daughter relationship. However, I found myself not caring about many of the other characters in the book. A few times there were repeated explanations of things which happened earlier in the book that I didn't feel necessary. This book had everything and the kitchen sink thrown in. I would have preferred if it was more focused. That being said, I enjoyed the main character Andi and her interactions throughout the book.

This was a no go for me, sadly. Characters are surface. Too much telling and not enough showing. I loved the premise/plot idea, but for me, there were too many of my pet peeves to overlook in order to enjoy Thom's book.
