This was a really good fast paced read . I was hooked straight away . We start with Becca in A & E with her young daughter , something is wrong , The doctors believe that Mia is deliberately being poisoned . We then go back 2 and 1/2 weeks and have the story leading up to the A & E incident . Becca is contacted by twitter by a long ago ex boyfriend , they start to talk and it brings to the surface all that is wrong with her marriage . As Mia gets increasingly poorly can Connor contacting her be a coincidence or is it a lot more sinister . I liked Becca as a character and felt really bad for her when things were spiralling so out of control . There are lot's of twists and a few red herrings . Great escapism for a lovely sunny afternoon . Well worth a read . !!!!

This is my first read by Rona and you know I blooming loved it.

Becca is a part time district nurse, married to workaholic Dean.
Juggling working part time and looking after 3 year old Mia Becca gets a unexpected tweet from Australia her Ex Connor, Becca keeps thinking about her past what secrets she has held to herself and why she run off to Oz in the first place over 10 years ago. 

Poor little Mia keeps getting sick which no real answers as to why.

Is Becca going mad? Is someone harming her daughter? 

I read this gripping read in just two sittings, I was totally drawn to the characters and this had you guessing all the way though which kept me page turning until almost midnight. 

WOW A must read  I would definitely pick up another book from Rona again, just brilliant.

Thank you Bookouture 5 stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

No one can gives you paranoia like Rona. An edge of your seat suspense.
Everyone likes online friendship today. Social media helps you in connecting with different people across the world. You can share everything, can't you?
Meet Becca, a not so ordinary woman with an workaholic husband, although he was pathetic sometimes in the story and her cute daughter Mia aged three.
Everything was going almost fine until one day she discovered her ex boyfriend online which brought back a smile on her face. Everyone has a soft corner for their ex. Becca smiled. Her ex boyfriend was everything to her once upon a time, long long ago. 
Now he's living in Australia and wants to know everything about her life but can she tell it? All about her life?
Becca has a dark past from which she was running but can she escape her past?
Rona is back with a hell of a psychological thriller. She's a name to watch. 
I loved Becca the most. Although this whole show was hers and only hers. Her character is perfectly made. Although Connor was good too. 
Narration of the story is simple and intersting. Simple grammar is used which is easy to understand.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.
