The Bitter End: A gripping psychological thriller that will keep you turning the pages

'Wow, talk about an action packed, intense and captivating read.'

Some will live. Some will die. This is the bitter end

The mug slips from my trembling fingers and smashes onto the floor, hot tea splattering the newly mopped tiles. Tears blur my vision as I struggle to contain the emotions threatening to engulf me. I do my best to hide it, but I'm still trying to piece together the shattered fragments of my life following the traumatic kidnapping of my daughter, Lauren.

The scars run deep, leaving us forever changed. Pregnant and determined to stay strong for the sake of my family, I bury the turmoil raging within me, but the cracks are widening, mirroring the fractures in my marriage.

When Deacon is offered a job in Canada, I reluctantly agree, hoping that a change of scenery will give us all a chance to heal. Little do I realise the move is just the beginning of a new set of challenges that will push us to our limits and test the strength of our bond like never before.

In the final book in the McBride Vendetta Series, Isabel and her family face their tormentors in the ultimate battle for survival. This disturbing psychological thriller is utterly gripping and impossible to put down.Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza and Shalini Boland.
