Step inside the mind of Sophie Whitley.

triggered. is masterfully told through the perspective of a young woman on the cusp of embracing her womanhood while shedding the layers of a stifling dark past.

Now, living in Los Angeles and working at a high power advertising agency, Sophie is propositioned by an older client who could hold the key to her emotional awakening.

But during this pivotal moment in her life, her best friend goes missing with the pool of suspects being closer than you think.

Making it her mission to find out what happened to her fallen friend, nothing is as it seems in a world built upon broken promises and unforgivable betrayals.

This psychological thriller explores both the good and evil sides of the human condition. Now ask yourself, are you ready to find out how far one woman is willing to go to find herself?

Review

"Amazing story and an outstanding writer in Candy Washington, thank you for sharing this amazing story, everyone should read this amazing book." - Verified Kindle Reader

"Candy, wow, your book was outstanding, intriguing and amazing. I especially liked the point in the story were Sophie came to the point where she was tired of the same old thing, where she dared to try something new during the dinner with Pierce Carson. Sometimes in life we all want to try something new, but our inner self tells us not to, life is short, so this story is very inspiring. Thank you for writing and sharing it. Outstanding job!" - Mark Washington

4.0 out of 5 stars Stick Around for Special Surprises
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2020
The last fifty pages were the best--- the action and thrills and twists motivated me to see what would happen next. However, there was way too much "telling" and not enough "showing" through the early chapters. The novel's premise was late in coming to this reader. Early on, because of the repetition, I found myself skimming to get to the narrator's points. Overall, it seemed to me that more effort (and polish) was put into the latter third of the book than the first two thirds. I wouldn't market this as a mystery. It was more an emotional/psychological thriller for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-written and character-driven
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020
This is an interesting story that focuses deeply on the main character Sophie Whitley and the dynamics of the relationship with her family and friends. It is a little slow at the beginning and there are occasional errors, but overall this is a well-written story worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too long to get there
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020
The twist at the end was good but it took too long to get there. I lost interest several times until the shocker toward the end. It was well written, though and would make a great script for a Lifetime movie IMHO.

3.0 out of 5 stars As basic as it gets
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020
Honestly, this is a very basic story, a full-on cliche with very few original touches. I don't mean this as a criticism, mind you, just as an explanation of why there was no way this could ever score high for me.

But it won't score low either, because it was a fun read. It passed the time. So I guess that makes it acceptable.

The pacing felt like a step-by-step, like something written following a very rigid blueprint, and the style reminded me of what teenagers write like.

But it was okay.

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020
This book was very tense & emotional. The author took a bit to get to the plot & some twists, but about halfway through, it is a well-written page-turner. I would recommend this book, it was an entertaining read for sure.

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020
This is the 1st book I've read written by Candy Washington; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
