Goodreads Blurb

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better.

But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.

Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.

Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars

How well do you know people?? Once upon a time, a woman falls in love with the perfect man. He was loving and caring. She could only imagine what her wonderful perfect life was going to be. We all dream of having the best husband. But in the blink of an eye, the perfect husband was devious with a goal of torture and pain. This was the best 2016 thriller, which I read it in a matter of two days. I just couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. Grace made this story come to life. She was the strongest woman I could have ever imagined. To have to go through what she went through and complete her vengeance, it was brilliant. This was a book that gave all battered women a chance to be brave, and if there is a will, then there is a way to escape this torment. Jack ruled with fear, which exhilarated him, but Grace overruled with strength, protection, and courage. I absolutely recommend you read this heart pumping novel.
