About this listen

Sometimes secrets are better left buried....

Amy Penrose knows how it feels to grow up in a home where your parents harm you more than raise you.

Now an adult, she’s newly qualified as a child psychologist and hopes to help children who’ve gone through struggles of their own.

When a father brings a 12-year-old boy into her office, she recognizes the bruises and the way the boy withdraws into himself. And she wants to help.

But life is never that simple. With a boyfriend at home who believes her career shouldn’t be more important than getting married and having children, and with a boss who seems to want her to stay late all the time, but not for work reasons, and with other patients who need her, Amy is torn.

As she delves into the family’s past, and starts to feel unsafe in her own home, she starts to wonder if this is one child beyond her help.

Get book one in this heart-racing psychological thriller series from NY Times and USA Today best-selling authors M A Comley and M K Farrar.

Amy is a child psychologist who knows well enough what child abuse looks like on a kid because she was that kid, many moons ago. A 12 yr old boy is presented as a new client and she sees the signs, but is hampered by a boss that doesn't want her to work late in order to actually work and a boyfriend, Gary, who thinks she should be more interested in womans stuff "marriage and all the trappings!". She goes out on a limb to delve into the family and everything around them. As she doggedly carries on she finds she is sensing a vulnerability and feels unsafe in her house. Who could be causing this? What is happening? Amy has a fight to come...and she doesn't realise how hard and how dark it will be, causing her to never, ever forget.
This was a creepy read with the narrator ramping up the creep factor! Brilliant! Two of my favourite authors get together and nothing less that a tense, dark and edge of my seat read is expected! They delivered!

great thriller!

Good solid start of series - with the psychologist in the main role, partnered with a detective. So if you like detective/crime genre, this is for you. I personally didn't find it full of suspense and I don't like a book that starts (and continues) with all the same characters - with just a few others added in as books continue (so wont be purchasing the next in series).

Well heck this is one messed up individual, I am talking about the character and not the writer, although if I were to meet this author I’d probably be keeping one eye on her now lol.
This is a very well written book, I could feel the anxieties, the paranoia, the mistrust, the fracturing relationships and how easily all these things can be caused with some manipulation!
I don’t want to give anything away so I’m not going to say too much about this psychological thriller except read it, or listen to it as the narrator does a great job.

Great listen

This is my first ever audible book so was a little wary, but, as a fan of Marissa Farrar's books I thought I'd give it a go. I wasn't disappointed & really liked the way the story was read. The build up of tension was great as were the twists in the story. A great listen, though think I still prefer an actual book (or ebook)

A first for me!
