Description
Some say life begins at forty. Cyn Mckinley hopes so since her former life is over. Home foreclosure, a cross-country move, and hidden drinking problem pretty much killed it. Being crushed by crippling anxiety doesn’t help.
When she discovers that her husband's new boss is the monster who raped her in high school, she spirals further down. Struggling to process this revelation, she conceals it from her husband because they need his job. Instead, she numbs her pain with too much wine, drives drunk, and her husband threatens to divorce her.
She reluctantly quits drinking, hoping that will save her marriage. But clarity from sobriety brings something unexpected to Cyn – the need for justice or revenge.
If only she can find a way to make the demon pay for the trauma he inflicted, and the ripples it sent through her life, then maybe she’ll find peace.

Engaging and exciting from the beginning. A very realistic feel for the reader.
