Most people have nightmares while they sleep. Carla Murphy awakens to find herself living one. Carla is excited when her best friend asks her to lunch and tells her to bring the baby.

Carla emerges from a drug-induced slumber sealed in a room in Rachel’s basement with her son gone. Her best friend is no friend.

She must help Rachel, her confidant since childhood, seduce her husband or they all die, and her baby will be lost to her forever.
Dru’s Short Musing:
This book was so intense, quickly became a page-turner as I had to know how this was going to end.
The author did a great job in creating a multi-plot story that kept me on the edge of my seat. Once I started reading, I could not put this well-written and fast-paced drama down. I was so captivated by the suspenseful nature of the story being told and the author did everything possible to keep me immersed in all aspect with multiple point-of-views which enriched the visually descriptive narrative with high stakes and intrigue on behalf of the characters. There were so many plot twists that kept me in the game and when I thought I was on firm grounds with where the narrative was going, the author changed the direction all to keep me emotionally invested as the drama unfolded to its conclusion.
FTC Full Disclosure – I received a digital ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley.
