The story of single mom Riley Bishop and her foray into trying to find truth among all of the lies is a unique psychological thriller that held me enthralled and guessing all the way to the end. I really enjoyed getting to know the dynamic characters and all about their flaws as well as their strengths. Riley and Tucker, the FBI agent, were my favorites because both had issues to work out and both had worthy goals for the future. I loved the twists and surprises in this novel, especially those regarding Riley. And I especially adored her tenacity in taking care of her children above all else. This is a great book and the promise of more books in this series has me very excited. I enjoyed the complicated plot and the web of deceit woven into the story so that solving the mystery of whodunit was intriguing. This book is what a psych thriller should be: compelling, riveting and completely absorbing from beginning to end.

Excellent tale with lots of suspense and mystery!
Tucker Shaw is a Federal U.S. Marshal who specializes in human trafficking/kidnapping cases. He is called to the home of a woman whose daughter has been abducted. The woman is understandably overwrought but some of his colleagues begin to wonder if she is “all” there. Strange things have been happening that cause some to question if Riley Bishop is in her right mind. Tucker evaluates the evidence to make up his mind where she is concerned. He also tries his best to keep his heart under control as the case advances, and he begins to have feelings for Riley.Riley Bishop is a single mom with two children. She works from home as a graphic artist. Her life has been tough the last year. She discovered that her husband was operating a false investment scheme, bilking his clients of millions of dollars. She decided to turn him in to the FBI and divorce him. He was shortly thereafter killed in a car bomb. Now, she is on her own, trying to raise a teenage daughter and elementary-age son. She has fear and regret over her past actions while also dealing with the ever-present fear of losing her mind like her mother. When things happen that she can’t remember doing or saying, her worst fears are confirmed. She is going crazy like her mom, or is she?I liked this suspense story because it focused more on the suspense/mystery aspect and less on the romance, unlike a lot of recent romantic suspense novels. There is plenty to keep readers tuned in and turning pages of this psychological thriller, including murder, kidnapping, mental illness, and more. It was very interesting how the main character reacted to things or situations created by the villain that made her question her sanity. Tucker has his own story and past that I’m looking forward to unraveling in the next book in the series.
