Not for me, not my kind of book. Ridiculous plot. So disappointing, I most certainly will not be reading anymore books by this author. A waste of money. I was expecting to read a domestic thriller not some far fetched drivle.

If you thought The Stepford Wives was creepy, then hold on to your hat! Lana and Roman Wade have recently moved; a fresh start into a beautiful home in a small select close known as The Gardens where the neighbours are welcoming and friendly. The couple are harbouring a secret and this move is supposed to greatly improve their lives but Lana can’t settle. There’s something not quite right and she won’t be at ease until she finds out exactly what. Roman, however, cannot see what the issue is and his patience is tried over and over again as Lana won’t let it lie. Is there something to find out? If so, then what? Those who follow my blog will be aware that I read the blurb at the time of accepting a book onto my list but I don’t peruse it again prior to beginning to read so I was initially convinced that this was set in the States; The Gardens sounded very much like their gated communities. As the story got going, I shared some of Lana’s doubts about whether she could be happy in their new home – not so much a fresh start as a completely different way of life. As she gets to know her neighbours, she realises that it’s not all as sweetness and light as some would want her to believe and her inability to let things lie leads her into a bit of bother. There were times when what I was reading completely freaked me out and towards the end my heart was pounding in my chest so loudly that I was astounded my husband couldn’t hear it! Thrilling, chilling, exciting and one which really freaked me out at times; I’m only grateful we’ve lived in our house for a few decades! Expertly written and with everything all tied up by the final word – exactly how I like it to be. Absolutely recommended and completely worth all five sparkling stars!
