Summary

My mother is obsessed with every detail of my wedding–controlling my dress, my ring, my happiness. But when the day finally comes, will she really let me go?

I’m smiling as I walk down the aisle, but my smile masks cold, clammy, prickling fear, even though it’s meant to be the happiest day of my life.

My husband-to-be, Owen, is everything to me, with his sandy hair and sparkling blue eyes. He convinced me everything would be fine. That we’d be safe. I pray he was right as I reach for his hand. He smiles reassuringly. I swallow hard.

Because last year, my sister’s fiancé was murdered on his wedding day. And I found my mother’s corsage next to his body.

So when our guests are asked if they have any objections, I hold my breath. Please let me be wrong about what she did. Please let Owen be safe.

But when I turn to look at my mother, my blood turns to ice.

There is only dark, calculating fury in her eyes. I knew she didn’t want to let me go. But is my husband’s life actually in danger? Or is mine…?

A addictive psychological thriller from an Amazon bestseller with twists that will have your head spinning until the very end. Fans of The Housemaid, The Family Upstairs, and The Perfect Marriage will be absolutely gripped!

the nuances of characters

loved the story of broken minds, overbearing hurts, pushy parents and loves plans with twisty turns along the way. the last twist was totally unexpected. brilliant. Tamsin is a very good narrator.

Couldn't finish

I found this book very frustrating! although I haven't listened to the end yet, as I got fed up! it was I found the whole story of the daughter letting her mum organise a wedding for her that she had no intention of attending bizarre, don't know why she just didn't tell her mum no! also allvthe 'strange' happenings to the couple very over the top! maybe I will give it another try as it may get better!

Predictable and monotonous

I disliked the pure fantasy of this story. All the characters were not in any way believable and I second guessed the big twist a third of the way through
Waste of a credit !
