About this ebook

THE TOP FIVE KINDLE BESTSELLER

‘AMAZING. I read it in one go. I was totally hooked.’ MARIAN KEYES

‘Utterly addictive. Compulsive, twisty, tense.’ CLAIRE DOUGLAS, author of Local Girl Missing

Her name was Rose. You watched her die. And her death has created a vacancy.

When Emily lets a stranger step out in front of her, she never imagines that split second will change her life. But after Emily watches a car plough into the young mother – killing her instantly – she finds herself unable to move on.

And then she makes a decision she can never take back.

Because Rose had everything Emily had ever dreamed of. A beautiful, loving family, a great job and a stunning home. And now Rose’s husband misses his wife, and their son needs a mother. Why couldn’t Emily fill that space?

But as Emily is about to discover, no one’s life is perfect ... and not everything is as it seems.

'A powerful and emotional psychological thriller that will keep you guessing and leave you breathless.' C. L. TAYLOR, author of The Fear

‘I devoured it in a couple of days. Claire Allan managed to maintain an unsettling sense of unease that started at the very beginning and didn't let up at all.’ ELLE CROFT, author of The Guilty Wife

‘A psychological thriller with a heart: taut, emotionally challenging and unlike so many thrillers, each twist and turn is here because it deserves to be and not for the sake of it.’ JOHN MARRS, author of THE ONE

Emily lets a woman and her child step out in front of her and then watches a car plow into her, killing her instantly. Her name was Rose. Emily is certain that it was her fault ... she should have been the one hit by a car ... the one who died. She gets mired in Rose's life. She follows her facebook pages, she even applies for the job that Rose had held. She makes Rose's friends her own. She wants the happiness that Rose lost .. a handsome man who treasured her, a child she loved passionately, good friends, family. All the things that Emily had never had. But you know what they say ... be wary of what you wish for ... you just might get it. This is a peek into a woman's life who wants more ... she wants what someone else has had. She also carries a secret with her .. a secret past that she definitely is hiding. And she's not the only one with a secret. But someone else's secret could be deadly. This was suspenseful, although just a tad predictable. The ending did come as a surprise, though. This is the first I've read of this author, but would not hesitate to read her others. Many thanks to the author / Avon Books UK / Netgalley / Edelweiss for the digital copy of this psychological thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This book was really good... It's the 1st I've read from this author and will defo be reading more 🤗 What I loved is that it pulled you in from that very 1st chapter... I couldn't put it down and finished it in just a couple of days... Some bits were predictable but it didn't spoil it at all...You really had a good feel of what the characters were really like and could imagine them clearly... All tied up well at the end no loose ends a few surprises... Easy book to read and follow all in all 4 stars from me 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍
