Summary
After being released from prison, Jane Ellerton
is forced to assume a new identity and relocate in an attempt to leave the
painful memories of both what she has done, as well as lost, in the past.
When problems arise at her place of work, she gladly accepts
an unexpected job offer, but instead of this improving the situation, she finds
herself embroiled in a bitter feud between two rival firms. It is then that she
realises she isn’t the only one who is not what they proclaim to be.
No matter how hard Jane tries, the net is closing in and the
life she’d been trying so desperately to forget is fast threatening to catch up
with her. Not everything can be left in the past and some things just can’t be
changed.
This is a Downfall Series book, but can be read as a
standalone. It also contains written depictions of violence, sex and strong
language, therefore 18+ only.
My Review
4/5 Stars
Lots of moving parts in this book.
It seems as if everyone has a secret and their secrets consume them.
The relationship between Seth and Jane was interesting—he believing she is dead and Jane believing she has killed them.
They have a bond though that’s been forged by fire, and they love each other in a way that’s stronger than most other characters.
The plot is dark, but that’s what makes this book so compelling.
A great psychological read.
