Minka Kent
A return from the past knocks a family dangerously off-balance in a novel of spiraling suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent. Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door. Weak, broken, and emaciated, it's Luca's first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Her kidnapping. A torturous confinement that should've ended with her dead. And finally, escape. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they've built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet--it's the least they can do. But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt's family, the more questions Merritt has. What is it about Lydia that's especially unnerving? Why hasn't she gone to the police with her harrowing tale? What does she really want of them? The answers, when they come, are terrifying. Because Lydia isn't the only one with secrets.

"Predictable, very!
This book was an enjoyable read, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The plot was quite predictable, and the final chapters felt rushed.
The story revolves around Lydia, who went missing for ten years. After all that time, she shows up at her husband's house and is met by his new wife. As the story unfolds, Lydia tries to rebuild her life after her ordeal and discovers that her husband might be involved in some shady activities with his new wife and child. Essentially, Lydia has no idea who the true mastermind villain is in the story."
"Wow, this book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Imagine being attacked and held captive for 9 years by a monster. You escape after you are left for dead after being shot and you find out that your husband has not only married again, but he has landed himself in the lap of luxury. <br/><br/>Told from the POVS of both wives, this is a train wreck waiting to happen, yet those trains take some ghastly turns before the wreckage even begins! <br/><br/>Fast-paced, exhilarating, thriller lovers delight!"
