About this ebook
Nora Roberts' brand new novel Mind Games - an unputdownable thriller filled with resilience and revenge - is available to pre-order now
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Every town has its ugly little secrets...
From the outside, the house in Lakeview Terrace looks perfect and the Bigelows seem like the perfect family: the respected surgeon father, the glamorous, devoted mother and two beautiful children. A perfect family, in a perfect house living their perfect lives.
But perfect surfaces can hide dark undercurrents and behind closed doors lies a very different story. Teenager Zane and his younger sister, Britt, are terrorised by their violent father and dysfunctional mother. Too afraid to speak out, Zane does his best to protect his sister and counts the days until they can finally be free.
One dark, brutal night when their father's temper takes a horrifying turn for the worse, the perfect façade is exposed for the lie it is and Zane and Britt manage to escape. With the help of their beloved aunt, they rebuild their lives a day at a time, creating new families and putting their past behind them. But a childhood like that can cast a shadow the length of a lifetime. Can Zane and Britt ever be free of their past? Or will those dark undercurrents rise to the surface, forcing them to fight for their lives once again...
'If you're after the perfect pick-me-up, take-me-away-from-the-world read, then she's your woman'

'Nora Roberts is, quite simply, a one-woman phenomenon'

I really enjoyed the first section of the book, when the main character was a child. But I had to force myself through the rest, unfortunately. It was quite predictable, very much the same cycle of events.

Really enjoyed twists in story. Is quite graphic about domestic violence so if this could cause upset don't read but justice is given.
