Fantastic Read!

5 stars

Bound by blood, broken by secrets!From the very first page, Alesha Dykema grips you with a dark, claustrophobic narrative that refuses to let go. Shayla’s desperate mission to shield her daughter, Skyler, from the trauma of her own upbringing is thwarted at every turn by a mounting web of secrets involving her domineering parents. The story is expertly layered, rich in character depth, and packed with dizzying twists that kept me reading into the wee small hours. Dykema perfectly captures the suffocating pressure of toxic family dynamics. If you love emotional, high-stakes domestic thrillers, this complex and twisty novel is an absolute must-read.
